Conjugation of Verbs and Adjectives 3. Connecting Sentences 4. Sentence Types 5. Honorific Expressions 1.

Carol sleeps. Ae] ABS Bola. subject + object + predicate o] EMR ae goia, ject + predicate Eric eats an apple. Bric reads a book in the library. Particles are attached to words in Korean sentences. They express the role that their respective words play in the sentence. After the subject of a sentence, the particle O| or 7} is used. After an object, the particle & or is used, And after an adverbial, the particle | or 01[2I] is used. (See also Unit 3, Particles) Ze] ABS yo}a, ole] ABA AS goja, subject sbject ‘subject. adverbial ‘object While the predicate of a Korean sentence always comeés at the very end of the sentence, the order of subjects, objects, and adverbials changes depending on the intention of the speaker. Regardless of their order in the sentence, however, the role of each of these parts can still be identified because of the particle attached to it. 14 ASS lelo] Boa. AS SABHA fete] gels. object + sublech + arts Object + adver + subject verb anapple Eric cats abook inthelibrary Eric reads In addition, when the subject can be clearly understood from the context, it can be omitted.

Conjugation of Verbs and Adjectives One of the characteristics of Korean verbs and adjectives is that they both are conjugated according to tense, politeness level, passive and causative forms, and speech styles. Verbs and adjectives consist of a word stem and word ending, with their base forms comprised of the word stem plus Ch. This form js also called the ‘dictionary form. Accordingly, a dictionary search for such words will reveal their base forms, such as 7}C} (to go), SC} (to come), YC} (to eat), and IC} (to wear). When conjugated, the word stems of verbs and adjectives do not change; rather, Cf is replaced with the appropriate form depending on the speaker's intention. @ Verbs “ahah (owpeg 7KCH) + Hs LICH (present formal ending) ESC Zoe i fi ZA]UTH (a0/¢008) (referring to a superior/eides) word stem wordensing | {CH} + —Al- (honorific) + —#L|C} (present formal ending) oe ZEEE we 7KC}) + -8t- (past tense) + ELC (present formal ending) Introcction tothe Korean Language ® Adjectives SHUT lis 000) (CH) + BUCH (present formal ending) =o TOT SWGU A} twas gooe) word stom wordending (CH) +—8t+ (past tense) + LICH (present formal ending) (co be good) BAIA} (ooems be g (Ct) + —A- (guess) + -SUCt (formal ending) 3. Connecting Sentences There are two ways to connect sentences in Korean. One is by using conjunctive adveros (@.9., A2ID (and), “TBIX|Bt (but), “TEACI| (so/therefore)), and the other is by using conjunctiva endings. (a) And ao Gonjunctiva Advert Connection | “Hee) Be].

When connecting two sentences with a conjunctive adverb, it is sufficient simply to place the conjunctive adverb between the two sentences. However, when using a conjunctive ending, the ending must be attached to the word stem of the predicate of the preceding sentence to connact the two sentences. () HRfO] ec} + ae + GIO > Hell Ba =e.

Sentence Types Korean has four main santence types: declarative, interrogative, imperative, and propositive Moreover, the sentence type is influenced by Korean speach styles, which can be divided into three main types: formal polite, informal polite, and informal plain. The formal polite style (A) ti LIC} is used most in formal or public situations, including the military, news reporting, presentations, meetings, and lectures. The informal polite style -O}/0] @ is the honorific form used most in dally life. Compared to the formal polite style, the informal polite style Is softer and less formal, and therefore it Is used mainly among family members, friends, and other close acquaintances. Furthermore, although the formal polite style has different forms for each of the four sentence types (declarative, inlerrogative, imperative, and propositive), the informal polite style uses the same form for all four types. Thus, sentence types in this style are determined by the situation and sentence intonation, For this reason, the informal polite style is less complicated than the formal polite style. As for the informal piain style —O}/0}, it 's mainly used among intimate friends, by superiors toward persons of lower-rank, and amiong family members. It is considered rude to use the informal plain style with somabody one does not know personally or with whom one is not very close. Here we examine the formal polite and informal polite styles only. (4) Declarative Sentence Declarative sentences are used when explaining something or responding to @ question. (See also Unit 1, Tenses 01 Present Tense) ® Formal Polite Style Declarative formal polite sentences are made by adding (4) t§ L{C} to the word stem. « ALS Sho] Ze, goto school.

Do you eat bread? @ Informal Polite Style Interrogative informal polite sentences are made by adding —O}/0|2? to the word stem.

Honorific Expressions Due to the influenca of Confucian thought on Korean society, it is common for Korean speakers to use both honorific and humble forms of speech in conversation according to age, fernily relationships, social status, and social distanoe (degree of intimacy). (4) Honoring the Subject of the Sentence Honorifics are used when the subject of a sentence is @ person older than the speaker, a senior member of one’s family, or a person of higher social rank. To honor the subject, —(©)A| is added to the stems of adjectives and verbs. For verb stems ending in a vowel, —A] is added, and for those ending in a consonant, —QA| is added.
