With the verb �ɴ�, which is correct: �ɽ��ϴ�, or �������ϴ�?

With the verb �˴�, which is correct: �Ƹ�, �˸�, or ������?
Also, is �� �� or ���� �� correct?

One last question: does anyone know where I can get a complete list of irregular verbs and their irregularities?
I've tried the library, the bookstore, and my shelf of Korean grammar textbooks. If I can't find a complete list, I'll be back on this forum repeatedly, pestering everybody with Korean verb questions.

As merely a beginner, I'm guessing the second example in each is correct.. I look forward to hearing the definitive answer from someone.

The irregular verbs are consistent so you wouldn't need much of a list.

�ɽ��ϴ� is correct.

�˸� is correct.

�� �� is correct.
�� is different from others like ��...were it a verb like �Դ� it would be ���� ��, or with �ݴ� it would be ���� ��.

Ah, here's another tip when you're not sure about a verb tense. Go to google.co.kr and do a search with each one. The incorrect one should turn up nothing or just a few pages with typos but the correct one will result in hordes of pages.
For example, a search of �ɽ��ϴ� brings in 243000 results whereas �������ϴ� brings in... zero.

Sorry mate, but the second example in each pair is correct.

A complete list? Hmmm, never seen one, nor have looked. However, I suggest that you do not look to Korean language learning texts (geared towards non-native Korean speakers), but rather elementary/middle school grammar (Korean) texts.


Shoosh,

Ryst

Sorry Ryst, but Mithridates is correct in every example. The rule on -���ϴ� vs. -���ϴ� is pretty clear, -���ϴ� for verb stems that end in a consonant, -���ϴ� for verb stems that end in a vowel. There is no reason I am aware of why �ɴ� would be an exception to this. (Don't take this the wrong way, but I no longer even have any of the beginner's textbooks that I could quote to support me on this.)

�˴� + (��)�� = �˸�: �� irregular verbs, also known as ��-extending verbs follow this rule:
Korean Grammar for International Learners by Yonsei Unviersity Press wrote:
Verb bases ending in consonants typically need the buffer vowel "��" when connecting with endings which begin with a consonant, but the �� of ��-irregular verbs does not need this buffer vowel. The �� drops in front of endings which begin with ��, ��, or ��.


You should note, though, that ��~�� irregular verbs would still use the buffer vowel "��", and would retain the �� before all single-shape particles that begin with vowels. For example:

���� (to ask) + ���� (if) = ���� (if someone asks)
���� (to bite) + ���� (if) = ������ (if someone bites)

but:

���� (to ask) + ������ = �������� (someone (honored) asks)
���� (to bite) + ������ = ������ (someone (honored) bites)

In Tomato's final example, all �� irregular verbs/��-extending verbs add the ��/�� ending to the unextended base. For example:

��� ~ �� �� ���� (can't live)

(See Continuing Korean by Ross King and Jae Hoon Yeon, p. 66)

So yes, it would be �� ��.

Tomato, I hope this helps. I'm sorry, I don't know of a comprehensive list of irregular Korean verbs either.[/i]

���� (to bite) + ���� (if) = ������ (if someone bites)



But ���� ("to ask") is itself an irregular verb, so it also is "������", not "����".

You're right, that was a typo. It's a pain typing Korean on my U.S. laptop.

It's:

���� (to ask) + ���� (if) = ������ (if someone asks)
���� (to bite) + ���� (if) = ���� (if someone bites)

Gotcha...you're absolutely right. There are a few verb pairs like that and I still screw up with them occasionally.

Thank you, Mashimaro, The Beaver, Mithridates, Ryst Helmut, Son Deureo, and Dogbert!

You not only provided the help which I badly needed, but disproved my stereotypes about people who post on this message board.

Ok, as usual, I didn't really read the post...nor paid attention to which was listed first, second, and what not...

Simplistic version: 앉습니다, 알면, and 알때 are correct.

No offense to not having a beginner's text anymore, as I've never owned one.

And know what, all that gobble-di-gook cut and pasted probably makes no sense to beginners..at least, it wouldn't have to me had I started learning Korean that way.

I suggest just spending time with Koreans who speak jack-all of English.

Thankfully, I started my classes at advanced levels....though I've no reason why X follows Y...it just 'sounds right'....l


Shoosh,

Ryst

Ryst Helmut, thank you for the suggestion, but I can't even stand to look at Koreans who speak to me in English, much less associate with them.

I'm sure it's on this board somewhere, but how can I see the Korean and not gibberish? I'm using a Korean computer.
