Grammar Notes:
An-nyng-(h)a-seyo? and Ch-m Pwe-kke-ssm-nida can be used together or
separately.
(Ch-nn)_________-imnida,
I __________ am
Ch-neun (equivalent to English I) can be omitted. In Korean, subjects are often
deleted when it is contextually apparent/understandable.
Imnida and ieyo mean the same, meaning am/is/ are depending on contexts.
So i-rang-nyn ieyo can mean:
Freshman am (I am a freshman)
Freshman is (He/she is a freshman)
Freshman are (You are a freshman; They are freshmen)
Note in the third line of Youngmee Kims speech, imnida (equivalent to English
am/are/is) is used and in the fourth line, ieyo (equivalent to English am/are/is) is used.
imnida and ieyo are interchangeable. However, imnida is more formal than ieyo.
