Exclaiming and talking to yourself with -다 in Korean

[@soyoltoi]

Yay, I finally have someone to talk in Korean with.

[@agoddess2457]

Thank you so much! I have made the same mistake (thinking it is dictionary form) and asked several teachers this question because I’ve seen Kdrama characters use this form (좋다!, they frequently say). My teachers didn’t understand what I was asking at all, except one teacher who minimally and tentatively explained that it might be when characters are talking to themselves. Your explanation addressed my question fully, including the distinction between active and descriptive verbs, which I hadn’t previously noticed, so thanks so much. It’s also great that you gave several examples using the more complex-to-conjugate verb stems, like 무겁다. Thank you again; I am so very grateful.

[@marina4483]

I love how Korean is such a dynamic language and it kinda changes according to the vocal tone of the speaker and the difference conjugation of the verbs :')

[@Paloma-wl1ul]

Not oy Korean is like that.

[@zeekey]

[@felixwolfblue1615]

This feels like the professor's answer key to korean sentence enders. Even knowing Japanese and Spanish grammar weren't all that helpful for understanding some of these endings. This is SO helpful! I'm saving this video to review it every now and then. So many headaches disappeared this day. I'm so happy :'D

[@tokinGLX]

ahhhh now it all makes sense! i remember the first time i heard somebody saying 맛있다 and 맛있어요 i was confused as to why 맛있다 was not conjugated. i sort of figured the reason why based on overall context but having it explained very much helps. 감사합니다!

[@milkyricewater]

i finally GET IT

[@kalisticmodiani2613]

엘리, 알겠다!

[@xoVolf]

I know right, I have the same feeling haha

[@glacecoco]

Is it sad if i say that after 3 years of learning I still didn't knew when to use ㄴ다 and 는다? Thank you for your video 😭 Saving lives as always 👌

[@doublethenun]

you’ve been learning for 7 years now, how is your korean? :D

[@glacecoco]

@@doublethenun I have stopped learning Korean for a few years now. I still practise it with friends and I can understand it very very well, I'm just not interested in learning how to speak it anymore I switched to mandarin haha 😭😭 guess I just lost interest in Korean, I never saw myself living in Korea anytime soon or in the future, so yeah, I just decided to stop putting so much effort into it! My Korean improves because of the content I consume but I don't study it anymore

[@foxie82]

I always wonder about this actually.. The one I can remember for example: how Hobi often shouts "대박이다!" when he found something amazing or interesting... Also the way Yoongi said it to Jimin at their dinner party festa, He said: "지민아 사랑한다!" not 사랑해. 😄

[@finding97liners53]

Same 😂

[@lauriadl3184]

I wanted to let you know that I'm really thankful for your hard work !

[@h.i.m.3200]

Oh, that makes a lot of sense. I noticed on variety shows when the MCs would comment on someone's appetite, they say things like 잘 먹는다! and other phrases.

[@mariaiomorfh]

The way you explain things is so clear, concise and to the point! Thank you for all your hard work!

[@zimz91]

선생님 , thank you for the lessons . I always heard people saying 좋다 and wondering why they said that in that form

[@yerinyerinn]

I've been wondering this since I started learning korean, and no textbooks have ever mentioned it. Thank you so much for this very clear explanation! 😃

[@HeidiDMD]

I have been wondering this for weeks!! Thanks for the explanation and adding the different conjugations for comparison. So helpful :)

[@Karlzz279]

Super clear!!! I was actually talking to my korean friend about this, and he explained it cutely but this made it totally clear!^^

[@hyeok010]

Karlijn Herijgers Where you're from? 🤗

[@Karlzz279]

⦅김지성⦆ i’m from the netherlands! :)

[@hyeok010]

Karlijn Herijgers Oh! Ik wist het!! Zo leuk dat je een koreaanse friend hebt. Waar kom je vandaan?

[@hyacynth]

I've had a difficulty understanding the difference between the ~네요 and ~ㄴ(은)데요 since on the podcasts, you explained them both to be showing surprise. Aaaaah, I can't thank you enough, 현우 선새님.

[@timamalsinaidi5713]

Thanks so much! I have always had confusion with this. Thanks for your hard work.

[@dinah1110]

I knew that it was for talking to oneself but this video cleared it so well, thank you for your hard work. I appreciate it so much

[@mari_21555]

I love the thumbnail hahahah

[@no-ze9ce]

I was wondering about this recently. 감사합니다!

[@이재완-d8b]

한국인으로서 이미 익숙해진 표현인데 설명하고 응용하기까지 참 쉽지 않을 거 같다는 생각이 듭니다 선생님의 이론이 정말 대단하십니다

Your timing in posting this video could not be better! I have been wondering about this for the past two months. Thanks you so much!!!!!

[@Coccinelf]

I was wondering about that for so long! Thank you so much!

[@UnimpressedReviewer]

I've been thinking about this so much lately. Thanks.

[@wolf-bass]

I’ve been wondering about this for so long~~ thanks!!

[@alaamohammed532]

This video explained a lot of Qs in my mind!!!! 우리 선생님, 정말 감사합니다!! ♥

[@lindsaynicole4812]

As I was watching you explain about saying "피곤하다" to yourself, I was thinking "I wonder if I could say "피곤해" to myself instead." And then you literally explained that one second later. I swear TTMIK reads my mind sometimes! You guys always know what I need to learn Korean in the most perfect way for me. :) Thank you TTMIK!

[@talktomeinkorean]

Saying 피곤해 to yourself is okay too!!

[@ilyas3290]

Was wondering about -다 for a while now. 정말 감사합니다, its clear to me now!

[@bobchen5662]

Very informative and helpful! Love the series! 대단히 감사합니다! 😀💕💕❤️❤️

[@pencilwisdom6161]

Thank you so much. A lot of sources don't teach in nuances so when I ask what sentences mean when the ending change slightly and I'm always told it means the same thing when in reality each ending is used in different situations.

[@pedrocomin2890]

My gosh! I'm looking for this video for so long!! Finally!!

[@michaelaoren7058]

This helps so much! You are the best Korean teacher ever!

[@rickyreed4559]

Thank you so much! I have been wondering about this for quite some time!

[@prashil3k594]

[@Thelphenom]

I was really curious about this! thank you!

[@sadiarahman..4601]

He is the best teacher for learning korean ........👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 👍🏻

[@fdota]

The -다 used in the dictionary form is itself a conjugation. I think the main distinguishing key to think of it's use compared to other forms is its degree of accuracy. By this I mean that, when -다 is conjugated with a verb, a statement is made where the action or idea described by the verb is very clear and definite. Whereas -네요 suggests surprise or uncertainty and -요 is fairly neutral, -다 is definite and sometimes bold. This then extends into use in formal language like in the news and in formal letter writing. It is also used in exclamations as Hyunwoo said, but its use as an exclamation extends also from the clarity and sense of definiteness suggested by the -다 form.

[@shreyadevatkal4685]

This was soooooo helpful

finally a good video on this topic! Ive wondered about this for so long, thank you!

I had the question too. I heard in many Kdrama, Kpop videos etc. they used to use -다 form. Thank you for the video. It helped a lot :)

This was helpful, you're a great teacher! ♡

[@IThink2Much]

We really need something like this in English. Lol. I have always talked to myself A LOT my entire life. It would be so much easier if people could distinguish just by what I'm saying that I'm talking to myself instead of asking if I'm talking to them.

[@josepholiver3190]

이 비디오 너무 좋네요. 형이 원벽하게 설명해줬어 감사합니다!

[@squidfishsharkocean]

[@marialuisaachille9608]

선현우 선생님, 지금 저는 완전히 알아듣네요! 항상 감사합니다. 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊😊

[@cradicalcompassion]

As a socially anxious, autistic, english speaker, I love how much more you can communicate in Korean with the same words just with more conjugations. You're saying I won't have to guess if ppl are talking to me or themselves, or if they're making a comment or seeking a response? Sold.

[@jeff__w]

9:47 Hmm, it’s strange. My $1 million was here. Where is it now? 이상하다, 이상하다. 여기 100만 달러 돈있는데 …주현 이가 가져갔나? Maybe Jooyeon took it… She _seems_ so innocent, doesn’t she? ㅋㅋㅋ

It was very informative for me ,thank you sir

[@ishikabhaduri959]

Great video. Btw I love the fact that he has both of his son's pic as his mobile cover!

[@IriaTHaze]

I've often exclaimed 있다! without even knowing if it was right 😆. I think I'd just picked it up by hearing it in context and internalized it. So thank you so much for explaining.

[@reyhan963]

Wow! I learned many things from this, I know it's for old time but thank you!!

[@tb9441]

I am curious, how about when someone is leaving and they tell the other person 나 간다. They are not exclaiming, but they are saying that "I'm going (now)"...is this the same rule as described here? Also is it informal?

[@tm6537]

잘 알겠습니다. 고맙습니다 선생님.

[@ellenfritch7822]

Thank you so much, this has been bothering me for a long time! I asked my friend, but their explanation made no sense. This was great!

[@koreanongbol-anonkorbol2169]

Thanks a lot! This video really helps me a lot!

[@wissm127]

oh thank god for this video!! i was wondering with which level of speech to talk to myself! if i understand well i can use the plain form when talking to myself?

[@pnicolucci2]

Thanks for the explanation! I love the way you make it sound easy! ...but wow, korean is so difficult! It seems one can never just rely on intonation, but rather have always to learn a different way to say the same thing! :-/
