~겠거니 하다 "To Assume" | Live Class Abridged

[@YoungFLUFFS]

I'm a school teacher in Korea and now and then I'll check if my students understand only to get a bunch of blank stares, so next time I'll hit them with this phrase 8:19

거니 is probably from 것이다 verb. By the way, you are excellent in teaching Korean, the best Korean teacher!

I thought 줄 알다 was "to know how to do something" eg 테니스를 할 줄 아라요. But I see it can also mean in other contexts "to know, as in assume/guess"

[@GoBillyKorean]

It's that, too - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6TWloB_fMh9lbM

[@marieemmakim4070]

했겠다 is also probably 했을 것이다.

[@GoBillyKorean]

It's not from that, but originally a contraction of "~게 있," which is a different form.

Is the subject of this grammar structure always going to be I?

[@GoBillyKorean]

Yes, it's the speaker's thoughts.
