5 Ws and More

한글 배우기 (Learn Korean)

When relaying or asking for information, the following are extremely important for basic question and answer conversation.

누구- who

ex. 누구세요? 

who are you?

뭐- what

ex. 뭐 해?

What are you doing?

언제- when

ex. 언제 가는데?

When are you going?

어디- where

ex. 지금 어디야?

Where are you right now?

왜- why

ex. 너 오늘 왜 이래?

Why are you like this today?

어떻게- how

ex. 오떻게 된거야?

How did this happen? (can also be used to say "what is going on?")

얼마- how much

ex. 이거 얼마에요?

How much is this?

몇- how many

ex. 애들 몇명인데?

How many kids are there?

 

 

Bonus word of the chapter:

빌려- to lend

formal command- 빌려주세요.

informal command- 빌려줘.

How to use in a sentence:

subject (the one borrowing the object) + object being borrowed + (optional) 좀 (a little; can be used to make the tone less commanding) + informal/formal command

ex. 나 차 좀 빌려줘. Please lend me the car.

You can add 제발 which means please in a pleading tone.

Thank you so much for this, its so well written and what a great idea to have this reference on AFF great job teacher!! XxX

Hello! I'm your 11th upvoter! This is realllly good for me to learn more Korean, since my parents couldn't afford a real Language class. Although all of it is confusing and only make my head hurt, I will learn one by one until I ace it since the main problem is I can talk a bit Korean and understand some of it but could not write it at all :-( the only korean word that I know is 카이 and 디으 which is no help at all xD exo-l here~! Hahahaha I will definitely take this as a learning class online. Thank you, btw!

HELP HELP!
Ok, now that I've got your attention. ^~^;
I have a question regarding this 본. I understand that it's not mentioned in your lessons but I've been seriously searching for the meaning of this character. I don't get it at all... Oh and if you're wondering, I got the character from SHINee's song Like a Fire. I'm trying to learn Korean with songs hehehe. ^~^
