Honorific Speech in Korean In Korean, the relationship between the speaker/writer and the audience or listener is reflected in speech to or about someone. There are three main honorific speech types in Koreant subject, ‘object, and relative. Relative-honorific speech is most commonly known es “speech levels,” where a speaker uses either high or low forms of speech to the person being spoken to, regardless of the topic being discussed. The level of relative-honorific speech is usually determined based on the age of the speaker versus the listener. This explains why Korean people will often ask you about your age when first meeting you - they want to know what level of speech to use, Subject-honorific speech uses honorifics toward the subject of a sentence (not directly speaking to someone, but rather ABOUT someone who is older or in a higher position), while object-honorific speech is speaking to the object of a sentence using honorifics. ‘Asa beginner level learner, you will focus mainly on relative honorific speech. When it comes to relative-honorific speech, there are two main speech levels: formal and informal, Formal sublevels Informal sublevels Ban aan atl ara Het) My First $00 Korean Wards os 42] and 842%! are polite forms which are used to speak to someone who is older or in a higher position than you, and these forms belong to a category of polite language called E242 (StH means “to treat with respect”). Even when speaking to someone who is younger or in a lower position than you, itis polite to use ‘SA until you get permission to use casual language from him/ her. Casual forms such as 42H and 64| belong to the #182, or casual language, category. Vou can use 2! to someone who is much younger or in a lower position than you. Between adults, ett is not used right away, even after finding out each other's ages, as the younger person may feel offended. Instead, #2 is generally used between close friends and with children, In contemporary Korean language, typically only the following four sublevels are used: 844, OH2}4l], OHA), and OA. Endings used for each sublevel in declarative sentences: awl: (A) Lich age}: (LICH ‘424 -01/01/042 ‘ER: -0F/04/04 If conjugating these endings with a verb, the ending changes slightly based on the verb stem. The verb 71 (to go) is used in the following example: hab: CH + (LIC = it BLBME TECH + -Of/0//04R = 72 ARI: ZICH + -01/04/04 = 7} Present Tense = -o}/o1/o12. Since #4:%l is too formal to use every day, only #4241 is used in this book. Aside from endings, speakers sometimes use lower forms of certain words to sound humble or polite when speaking to someone in a higher position. For example, “I” is LFin Korean, but 4 is the lower form of Lt in £2, “We" is $2, but 21 is used to express humility or politeness. Conjugation of Regular Verbs ‘The infinitive form (also known as “dictionary form") of Korean verbs always ends with -Ct, but for most verb conjugations in Korean, you use the "verb stem” of a verb and add various ‘endings to it. The verb stem is formed by simply dropping the -CE from the infinitive form of a verb. All verbs in Korean end with Ct (eg. 7, Ch, SICH, etc.) 0 if you remove -Ct from the end, you are left with the verb stem (e.g, 71, 8, 2 etc.). Present tense verbs in Korean cover a wider range of tenses than in English; therefore, a sentence in the present tense in Korean can be translated to many different things in En example, 7+2 can be translated as “I go”, “I'm going”, “i'm going to go", or even “i will go” For To create a present tense sentence, add -OF2, -018, or -019 after the verb stem. If the verb stem’s last vowel is + or -, itis My Fist 500 Korean Words ow Past Tense = 2M on followed by -0}2. If the last vowel is NOT } oF 1, itis followed by-01@. Only one verb stem, tis followed by “42. However, 042 is always shortened to #2. Examples BILICH = to meet GIL +-Of2 + BHLYOES — BH}®. (I meet. / I'm meeting. / etc.) When + meets -018, OF is omitted to become SIL}, not giLfok@. OPAICE = te drink DhAl +-012 + OHO} > aH44@.

(I send. / I'm sending. / etc.) When # meets -012, Of is omitted to become HLH, not uHO12. AJAISICE = to start, to begin ALBEE + -O18 > AIO — AH. (I start. /1 will start. / etc.) When @ and 04 are combined, #101 is always shortened to 4 Add -21012, -21012, or M012 after the verb stem to form a past tense statement. If the last vowel of the verb stem is # or +, it is followed by -S1012. Ifthe last vowel is NOT | or +, itis followed by -4012. Only one verb stem, 3}, is followed by RAS, However, 3121018 is usually shortened to #012. Future Tense (2)2 OI Examples BILICE = to meet RIL} + -2ho}a = BHstO1a, (| met.)

When of and -@ are combined, 3124 shortened to 2. usually To create a future tense sentence, add either -S 21012 or -2 7104 2. ifthe last syllable of the verb stem is a consonant, add - 7104 .B, and if the verb stem ends with a vowel, add -# 7/012. Although -(2)# 2101 is basically a future tense sentence ending, you can also use this to express your assumption about something, Depending on the context, -(2)= 7/612 can be translated as either “it will will/they are going to” or “I think/I assume”, My First 500 Korean Words ow Examples UOILICH = to get up, to wake up UojLt + -= Hos = ore! 7oH2. =| will get up. / | think he (she) will get up. 2ICt = to wear, to put on + -S ols = 2S 7M. = | will wear. /| think she (he) will wear. Modifier (1) Used after a verb stem, this suffix changes a verb into a modifying 2) adjective (in the past tense) to be used in front of a noun. This is similar to the role of a clause such as “that | found” or “that | bought yesterday” that is typically used after a noun in English. Examples CH= to find 3S = that | found, that they found jf 42 {= the book that she found yesterday Used after a verb stem, this suffix changes a verb into a modifying adjective (in the present tense) to be used in front of a noun. This is similar to the role of a clause such as “that | like” or “that | use everyday” that is typically used after a noun in English. Examples ict rhe OfS! 7H= =a place that I go to every day 020 Modifier (3) =-(Q)e Passive Voice = -0|/81/21/71- & -S1Cf Used after a verb stem, this suffix changes a verb into 2 modifying adjective (in the future tense) to be used in front of a noun This is similar to the role of a clause such as “that will start tomorrow” or “that you will see there” that is typically used after a noun in English. Examples ABAICL = to practice ae = that | will practice ‘#8 71 = a plan that | will practice, a plan to practice Although there is no set-in-stone rule when it comes to passive voice, the general rules are as follows: (2) ol When the dictionary form of the verb ends in -CI, O| is added to the verb stem ending and changes to -s0ICt, Examples §8Ct (to put down) + $0IC} (to be put down) 48Ct (to pile up) > OICt (to be piled up) (2) When the dictionary form of the verb ends in -7¢}, -ECt or wt, 81 is added to the verb stem ending and changes to -72ICt, 2} Chor eich, Examples 2ICt (to block) > 8f¢ICt (to be blocked) Ct (to close) — ESIC} (to be closed) My First 500 Korean Words on Passive Voice of ‘SHCt Verbs 022 (3) el When the dictionary form of the verb ends in -2Ct, -2l is added to the verb stem ending and changes to -22IC}.

Examples 2tCH (to hug) — 2171C+ (to be hugged) GCF (to put something in a basket/bag) -> &7IC (to be put into a basket/bag) ‘8tCt verbs are combinations of nouns + éIC}. For example: AIBE (start, begin) + 3iCt = to start, to begin ASworry) + (@iC}) = to worry To change these @IC| verbs into passive voice, change IC to SIC. Examples AABHCH + AIAISICE (to be started) AMC > AASICt (to be worried) Present Tense’ Conjugation of Adjectives In English, adjectives such as “pretty’, “big”, and “tall” are already in the correct format to be used in a sentence. In Korean, however, adjectives must be conjugated because they are in the infinitive form. For example: OMA} = to be pretty d= tobe big SC} =to be tall To use these to modify a noun (pretty gir, big dog, tall mountain), ‘you must conjugate the word into the modifier format: drop the -CH to get the adjective stem by itself, and if the stem ends with a vowel, add -t as the final consonant. Ifthe stem ends with a consonant, add -& Examples Et = to be big (adjective in the infinitive form) 3 = big (base adjective form) 'SCf = to be high (adjective in the infinitive form) '2 = high (base adjective form) When adjectives are used as predicate adjectives rather than as modifiers, such as in "000 is pretty’, "000 is big’, and "000 is important", you can conjugate the adjectives just as you would verbs depending on the tense. Examples ajwac jas + -0f32 > ulm0}s2 > ulwise, (000 is busy.) My Fist 500 Korean Wore: as Past Tense: Future Tense!
