Over theyears, I was

able to putup more and

more lessons,

and as of


2/78

now, inJanuary

2011, thereare morethan

60 lessons on

Korean


3/78

grammar inthis blog.The

principles inwriting these

lessons have

been that I


4/78

remainintentional

aboutmaking them

as easy

tounderstand


5/78

and readilyapplicable in

daily life as Ican, and

comprehensi

ve enough to


6/78

cover majorpoints

of Koreangrammar

which

include both


7/78

the Writtenand Spoken

forms. Now,what do I

mean by

written and


8/78

spokenforms?In

Korean, theverb endings

change

depending on


9/78

whether thelanguage is

used inwriting or

speech.Note:


10/78

In Koreangrammar, the

verbs comeat the end of

a sentence.

For more on


11/78

the sentenceorder,

pleasereadSentence

Order.For

example, "


12/78

" whichmeans "I

went to


13/78

school" is awritten form,

and "


14/78

" is a spoken

form.


15/78

= I went to

school (written form

as in writing,books, diary


16/78

andnewspaper)


17/78

= I went toschool (

spoken formas in

conversations, movies

and


18/78

dramas)Asyou can see,

the ending ofa verb

changes from

to


19/78

, both of

which mean"went".There

fore you'dwrite in one

way but


20/78

speak in aslightly

differentway. But

don't be too

alarmed at


21/78

thedifference, as there are

simplepatterns to it,

and you'll get

to learn them


22/78

along theway.It is also

important tolearn the

differences in

degrees of


23/78

formalities inthe Korean

language.There are three

major types

in the


24/78

degrees offormality:Inf

ormalPoliteHonorificIn

expressing

the


25/78

politeness inthe speech,

Koreandiffers from

English in

that the verb


26/78

endingschangedepen

ding on theage and rank

of the person

being


27/78

addressed toand the

social settingone finds

oneself in.

For example,


28/78

when I'masked,

"Where areyou going?" I

might

answer, "I'm


29/78

going toschool" in the

followingways:


30/78

- [Informal,to people of

the same ageas me or

younger than

me,


31/78

especiallyamong

closefriends]


32/78

- [Polite, topeople older

than me, andin formal

social

situations]


33/78

- [Honorific,this is rarely

used in


34/78

normalconversation

s. I wouldsay this type

of


35/78


36/78


37/78


38/78


39/78


40/78

speaking isonly found in

very formal

settings suchas on the

news or in


41/78

thearmy.]You

would usethe polite

form even

when the


42/78

person you'respeaking to

is of thesame age as

you or

younger than


43/78

you if you'renot very

close to theperson

and/or you're

in a formal


44/78

socialsetting. I'd

say it's bestto stickto the

polite form

first and then


45/78

use theinformal

form later asyou gain

more

understandin


46/78

g of theKoreanlangu

age.Themajor mark

of the

division is


47/78

probably theage. The

politelanguage is

used to

people above


48/78

one's ageandinformal

language topeople equal

to and below

one's


49/78

age.However,generally, the

politelanguage is

generally

used in many


50/78

socialsituations and

the informallanguageis

usually used

among close


51/78

friends.I amtrying to lay

out somebasics to the

language of

Korean.


52/78

However it'dbe good at

this point todive intothe

lessons and

learn them


53/78

foryourself.You

can startreading the

grammar

guide from


54/78

the top tobottom in the

order as it'sdesigned to

guide you

fromthe


55/78

basics tointermediate

Before that

systemwhich means

that thewords

alphabet, you


67/78

can read anEnglish

although you

may

notunderstand the

more

phonetic than

that ofEnglish and

many otherlanguages, in

that each
