���� ����...I'd say lower than the form you wrote.

��ġ is another form that I like to write instead of �ʹ�


"��ġ" is interpreted as 1) "shameless" or 2) "nothing". "��ġ��" means "to combine" as in a recipe....foods. Never hears of that meaning "very".

All three forms...basic, unconjugated verb,conjugated, but lacking an honorific ending or replacing "...�̿���" with "�̾�" are all low. Inflection and intonation are important in determining HOW low. Wink

I'm inclined to agree with komtengi about ���� being 'lower' than ����. The -�� form is the low pattern of the formal style, and while appropriate for use with children, also has other applications (ie. all non-affective factual discourse directed at a generic audience). ���� only has use in intimate/kiddie situations.

Using 'easy' as an adjective or adverb is fine.

You should be more polite when addressing strangers. Wink

I have no idea how to type Hangul on Korean keyboards. In that case, I've used the word:

"shipda!" - which means easy as well.

sure. the point is that when a descriptive verb such as ���� is the predicate of a sentence it has to be conjugated as a verb. '����' is the bound adjective form and must be followed by a noun.

eg. '��� ����' vs. '����� ���� ����'

*���ֽ����̾� treats ���� as a noun and sounds quite strange. ���ֽ������̾� fixes it.

���� as an adverb is realised as ����.

point taken - �ѱ����� ���� ���� ������ �����Դϴ�. Wink

������������̾�!

Err....Implied demonstrative? Hehe.. "That is an easy one" = "That is easy" NOT!

You are right....the OP was not using this form anyways. Embarassed

My mind hates the redundancies of language. Razz

@ Harin: "Let's go to my place" = "�츮 �� ����!" ?!?!

You could use some Joella dialect in the kiddie situations,

��� ����!

This means "very very easy!"

Or this Korean proverb, ������ ���Ա�

This means "it's as easy as eating rice cake lying down!"

(In English we say "it's a piece of cake!"

Always saying �ʹ� (nomu) for me gets tiresome ...���� (ah-ju), �ſ�(mae-oo)... ...same meaning, but some variation.


I'm no sage of the Korean language, but I seemed to have gathered that �ʹ� means "too much", whereas ���� means "very". I've also gathered that sometimes "too much" can be used in place of "very", but it has a different sort of feeling to it...like it's so _______ that you're not sure if you can handle it? I don't know...just my observations. What I really mean is that �ʹ� can sometimes replace ����, but not the other way around.

Then there's ���� for "really", which I've seen occasionally used in this sense, but I still get it confused with ��¥ as far as meanings go. I tried to ask the Chica the difference between them, but, much like the ��/��-��/�� subject usage, I couldn't really get a straight answer...

How's about we get some more questions about how to say stuff? How would you say "have to" or "must" in doing something?

this is usually expressed (in polite speech) using the pattern '[familiar form verb]�� �ؿ�' or '[familiar form verb]�� �ſ�.'

eg.
���� �ؿ� 'have to go'
�Ծ��� �ſ� 'have to eat'
���� �ؿ� 'have to dance'
�׾��� �ſ� 'have to die'
�������� �ؿ� 'have to study'

Not ��ġ, ����. ��ġ(����) is shameless, ���� is another form of 'very'.

I've only just begun to study the language (which is a bit late as I've been here for a few months now) but what is Korean for "Have a nice day/evening/weekend ect"?

Yes Katy..

(in fear of gang ah jee... Razz)

���� �Ϸ� �Ǽ���! Have a nice day. �Ϸ�=day, �ָ� = weekend, ����= evening

Koreans don't usually say this though.

�ȳ��� �輼�� / �ȳ��� ������.
