Conjugation Please!

• 좁다: (be) narrow;

우리 집은 좁다. We are cramped for room.

*** I am not sure why “좁다”is listed with the irregular verbs, because it’s an adjective. Does anyone have information on this?

Please reply with as many example sentences as possible. I would like to see many sentences using the word “좁다”. I would like to see many different uses for the word “좁다”. Present, past, future, polite, respectful, casual…let’s see them all.

THANKS!

Irregular “ㄹ” verb

Irregular “ㄹ” verb

The advantage of this one is that the “ㄹ” just drops off. The disadvantage is that it’s tough to know when to keep it, and when to drop it. For irregular “ㄹ” verbs, the “ㄹ” drops when it come[s] before ㄴ, ㅂ, and ㅅ. Here is some practice for you:

No change before vowels:

어디 살아요?

But when you put it before ㄴ, like V는데, then there goes that ㄹ:

신촌에 사는데, 너무 시끄러워요. [I’m living in Sinchon, it’s very noisy.]

Same when it comes before a ㅅ, like when you add polite ending V(으) 세요:

혼자 사세요? [Do you live alone?]

에 vs. 로/으로 ?

가족이 뉴욕에 있습니다. = My family lives in New York.

믹국에서 왔습니다. = I am from the U.S.A.

경주가 어디에 있습니까? = Where is Kyeong-Ju?

경상도에 있습니다. = It’s in Kyeong-Sang-Do.

* Particle “-에” attaches to place nouns and denotes a place where a person or thing is. Many verbs such as, “있다, 없다, 계시다, 살다, 많다” can come after “-에”. “-에 – 이/가 있습나다” means that the subject noun preceding “-이/가” is located in the place noun preceding “-에”.

I’m going to school. = 학교에 갑니다.

I go to school everyday. = 날마다 학교에 갑니다.

My friend is coming to my house. = 친구가 우리집에 옵니다.

* This adverbial case particle attaches to nouns to show direction, in which case it is followed by verbs such as “가다, 오다, 돌아가다(to go back), 돌아오다(to come back), 나가다(to go out), 나오다(to come out) etc.” If the noun ends in a vowel or ㄹ, use -로, and if the noun ends in some other consonant than ㄹ, use -으로.

* This particle also indicates means, cause, reason, status, etc.

* It conjoins with a place noun and indicates the location where an action takes place.

** Some or most of the information above is from the text “Korean in 100 Hours (1)” ISBN 89-7141-653-X(03710)

************ Okay you guys! I am tired of typing now. I hope this helps you. I learned a lot from this effort too.

Pick me up?

pick somebody up = ~를 데리러 오다.

Thus, 저의 친구 집에 저를 데리러 오십시요. is a
correct sentence.

Pick me up at my friend’s house now.

=> 저의 친구 집에 저를 지금 데리러 오십시요.

Pick me up over here.

=> 저를 이쪽으로 데리러 오십시요.

Pick me up here.

=> 저를 여기 데리러 오십시요.

Also, further discovery:

Korean Verbs – the infinitive form

If you look up a Korean verb (such as to eat) in a English-Korean dictionary you will find it in the infinitive form – that is with a 다 ending. This is much the same as the to at the start of the infinitive form of English verbs (eg. to eat). So the verb to eat is 먹다.

To actually use 먹다 in conversation, the 다 is dropped to leave the verb stem (먹) and then another ending is attached to the verb stem to convey meaning like for example past tense (았/었) or future tense (ㄹ/을 거예요) etc….
