[@tempelogy9874]

(Edit: I add more examples) So simply, ~잖아요 is used when you give informations to somebody that you expect she/he knows about the informations you are sharing. And ~거든요 is used to share informations to the one(s) that you assume know nothing about the informations/they hear that for the first time. (*잖아요*) ● 어제 늦게 퇴근 했잖아요, ... (you know we went home late from work yesterday) ● 집에 밥이 없잖아. 그냥 근처 식당에 먹으러 가자. (You know that we have nothing at home (to cook/eat), let's just eat in nearby restaurant) (*거든요*) ● 저의 오빠 지금 혼자 살고 있거든요, ... (you know what? My brother is living alone at the moment) ● A씨 : 생일 축하해, 너 이제 30살이지? B씨 : 야 죽을래? 나 아직 29살이거든!! (A: HBD, you're turning 30 right? B: Do you wanna die? I'm still 29, you know!) Now, I will give more examples in the SAME SITUATION yet different context for both ~잖아/잖아요 (1) and ~거든/거든요 (2). (I'll use some examples above again) (1). 집에 밥이 없잖아. 그냥 근처 식당에 먹으러 가자. (2). 집에 밥이 없거든. 나가서 근처 식당에 먹으러 가자. Example 1 is when you expect your listener knows about the fact that nothing to eat at home, so you convince her/him to just out and eat something in a restaurant. Example 2 is when you think your listener doesn't know that you have nothing to eat at home you tell them to just eating out (maybe because she/he is not home yet & you talk with them by phone). Hope this help those who still don't get it. :)

[@Thinkerbelle486]

If 잖아요 is something both the listener knows.. then what about the song in korean: 있잖아 내가 할말이 있어 있잖아 내가 너를 좋아해 여만큼x4 Isn't it that the person doesn't know that you love him/her? 🤔

[@지원이-z7v]

Your Majesty 있잖아 means ‘you know?’ It’s to start a conversation. 너 그거 알아? =You know what? 🙂 Both are used. 있잖아요/그거 아세요? are formal ways.

[@binky2819]

From what I have learned previously: 거든(요) is used when informing the listener about something that they don't know, almost like saying "because". 잖아(요) is used when saying something that the listener should already be aware about. So if a friend were to ask you why you didn't respond to their texts: 바빴거든 would be like "because I was busy", but 바빴잖아 is more like "I was busy, you know". What I don't understand is how they could possibly be interchangeable if they have very distinct meanings.

[@inuuuuuuuuu]

For instance, if you and a friend had a big lunch together and your friend jokingly said "뭐 더 먹으러 갈래?" (Wanna grab something more to eat?) you could jokingly respond "방금 먹었거든?" ((we) just ate?) "방금 먹었잖아." (You know (we) just ate) Both are common banter and are interchangeable here without a significant change in meaning. Though I think the first sentence has a heavier emphasis on 방금 as it is a rhetorical question. Also even without such specific context, I find that natives sometimes use ~잖아요 as a slightly aggressive form of ~거든요, implying that something should have been obvious though it may not be in reality.

And ~거든요 is giving information or a reason the listener is not aware of yet. And ~잖아요 is repeating information or a reason you believe the lister should already know (or like when you are reminding them of it)

[@felinechat874]

How I wish they have actual Korean Language Learning centers in Southeast Asia. At least in Singapore, Philippines or Indonesia. I'm also attending a language school now and my teacher is a native from my country. She's doing well in terms of teaching but Mr. Sun Hyunoo's way of teaching is clearer maybe because he is a native Korean. Even if this lesson is short, his teaching makes a lot of difference.

Follow up question on - 거든요. If it is used to provide background information then how is it different to using 는데요 when you are telling a story? Thank you

[@agoddess2457]

Good one! And how is it different from 왜냐하면

[@보라돌이뚜비나나나아]

-거든요 is used to answer or want to add the reason for the listener might have curiosity. however, -는데요 is used to provide background information 'before' what you're going to talk about. Then, -거든요 tends to locate at the end of the conversation while -는데요 tends to locate in the middle of your saying For example: -저 어제 학교에 못 갔어요. 아팠거든요. (I couldn't attend yesterday's class. I was sick) -제가 어제 아팠는데요, 약을 먹었더니 나았어요. ( I was sick yesterday, but I got better after taking medicine.) Also -는데요 is used to quote others and lower the speaker's responsibility for words by quoting -앵커: 대기오염이 더욱 심각해질 것 같다는데요, 기자가 전달하겠습니다. (ANCHOR: (they said) the air pollution is likely to become more serious, and the reporter will deliver it.) -Q:민지 어디있어? A:오늘 안 왔다는데요. (Q: Where is Minji? A: (I don't know but someone said) she didn't come today.) addition -(in twice song "what is love" lyrics) 사탕처럼 달콤하다는데, 하늘을 나는 것 같다는데, I wanna know x3 what is love! => (someone said) (love) is sweet like candy, (someone said) (love) feels like flying the sky, I wanna know x3 what is love!

[@보라돌이뚜비나나나아]

@@agoddess2457 왜냐하면 is just 'because'. you can use it whenever you want to say reason but it sounds a little bit direct and awkward in the colloquial style

[@StephenHay]

Great explanation. Be aware too of how you deliver the sentence! ~~거든(요) can sound real sassy if you're not careful, or want to sound sassy! Ex. Teacher: Alexander graham bell invented the telephone. Student: 아니거든! (Actually, no. *with attitude* ) Teacher: *takes deep breath and starts counting to ten*

Are you the same Hyunwoo from the podcast Korean class 101 ?? I always follow your classes in Talk to me in Korean, but your voice sounds so familiar, very similar to a podcast that I listen to learn Korean as well. Hi!!! LOve your explanations, really usefull

[@zari564]

Let me give u guys some examples to best understand the difference between 거든요 and 잖아요. E.g... : Wow, you Turkish accent is just like the native !!!!! Using 거든요 : 저 터키 사람이거든요. (= Its because im Turkish ) Here you assume that the listener didnt know this before, so you kind of informing them what they didn't know about. Now using 잖아요 : 저 터키 사람이잖아요 ( = Its because im Turkish ) Here you are being like " c'mon you know that im Turkish ", so why are you acting as if you dont know., so with 잖아요 you assume that the listener already knows about it. . Plus using 잖아요 you are being more playful style ., so don't use it to someone whom you are supposed to be formal with. Hope that helped . P.s I'm not a native Korean speaker, I've been learning Korean for about 9 months now :)

[@inggitanggraini8272]

Ahh I get it now. Thank you so much. So maybe the difference among them is *please correct me if i'm wrong* *잖아요 = When the listener know that I just got here 저도 방금 와잖아요 You (also) know that I just got here *거든요 = The listener doesn't know that I just got here 저는 방금 와거든요 You know what? I just got here (The goal is to let the listener know that "I just got here") Is my interpretation correct?

[@winununana]

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ i've been that curiosity

[@lonehusky2958]

I know this is so late but this might be helpful for anyone who is still wondering You can look at the particle used on the noun. Since 사다 is a verb, particle 을/를 should be used, while particle 은/는 for 싸다 since it's an adjective. For example, 그는 그 책을 사다: He buys that book 그 책은 싸다: That book is cheap You can also look at the context itself. Hope this helps.

[@nl2886]

Can 거든요 and 잖어요 be used in formal situations? If not what form can be used ?

[@talktomeinkorean]

할 수 있거든요/ 할 수 있잖아요 can be used as both formal and informal.

[@taivsin9511]

I dont get 2:44 잖아요 is shortened form of 지 않아요 (??) But 지 않다 is a negative sentence ending, right? Just like 안 + verb so its negative but using 안 is a casual way to make a negative sentence. But is 지 않다 and 잖다 the same thing? Now I'm confused.

[@RhaffaMusic]

So... ~거든요 = The other person doesn't know ~잖아요 = The other person already knows Is it right?

[@michaelaoren7058]

Whenever I heard 거든 It was in a sassy/ retort kind of way. So I was kinda scared to use it because I didn't want to be rude. Is that true or is that just my imagination.

[@간누리-q2x]

I guess it might have been interpreted that way because 거든 implies that you know something which the other person doesn’t, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be an attack on the person and you shouldn’t be scared to use it! Hope this was helpful~

[@selohcin]

As a native English speaker, I have to say this is the first time I've finished a Talk to Me in Korean video and been just as confused at the end as I was at the beginning. The explanation simply didn't help clear things up.

[@dansurvivalwherever1306]

Ummm 🙀It is obviously similar I think I couldn't explain the difference well. Wow thank you for reminding me these differences dear "Talk To me In korean" mentor Let me see.. I think that 잖아요 is a little bit unfair. 거든요 is a bit more polite than -잖아요 Q : 너 언제왔어? A1: 저 좀 전에 왔거든요( oh, I came to here just a few minutes ago) A2: 저 좀 전에 왔잖아요( Didn't you see me? I came to here just a few minutes ago) In this example, obviously A1 is more polite:D

[@lovermuffin19]

I also heard -ㄴ/는데 is used for background information. So what's the difference between that and -거든요?

[@huanquatro]

-ㄴ/는데 is a sentence connector, so another clause is expected to follow. Intonation can also change the meaning of it such that the following information is contrary to expectations set by information in the first clause. You can add a 요 to the end, and make it grammatically correct, but the meaning changes to something like surprise. 그분은 방금 왔는데요! carries the feeling of Huh/wow/, he just came!

[@huanquatro]

Of course, I’m not korean, but I hope it helps!

[@VanessaFaith95]

In a case where 는데 is used to describe background information, it kind of gives the nuance of so/and so... and is used as a conjunction between two sentences, meaning it connects two sentences instead of using a period in between them. 내일 일요일인데, 뭐 할 거예요? It's Sunday tomorrow, so what are you going to do? You provide background information before asking a question, making a suggestion, or making a request. "_______+는데, SO/AND SO..... what will you do?" 거든요 is different, foremost in the fact that it doesn't join two sentences together. It usually comes at the end of the second sentence, as a reason for the first. 아직 말할 수 없어요. 비밀이거든요. I can't tell you yet. (Because) It's a secret. There's a separation between the two statements (a period). In this way, 거든요 can also be used to answer a question that has already been asked, because it has the nuance of "because". So if someone says "Why don't you know the answer?" you could respond with "Because I just got here!" and it would be appropriate to use 거든요. To my understanding, while it expresses "because" it's also just a way to soften a sentence and make it sound more natural.

[@chantirosario6472]

[@supechube_k]

어렵지 않거든요. basically, 거든요 is "lemme tell u-" it's kinda like giving the other person background information that they don't know (or that u think they don't know 👀) and 잖아요 is the same thing except with information they already know, like "you know-" example: teen 1: "파티에 가야 돼!"("u gotta go to the party!") teen 2: "내 부모님이 제가 가면 안 되다고 말했잖아"("u know my parents said i can't go") (that was a rather odd example but it was all i could think of😂) person A: "왜 친구가 컴퓨터를 쓰면 될 것이라고 말했어? 아마 부술 거잖아" ("why did u tell ur friend (s)he could use the laptop? you know (s)he will probably break it") person B: "가졌다는 것을 몰랐거든" ("i didn't know (s)he took it")

I don't know that I would have ever confused these two phrases. Though after watching this, I'm wondering what the difference between -거든요 and -구나/군/군요 is. Or if the latter is perhaps derivative of the former. They seem to have the same meaning. Or perhaps -거든요 is more like "You see..." (the person you're talking to might be hearing it for the first time) whereas -구나/군/군요 would be more like "I see" (you are hearing it for the first time).

[@FernandoGarcia-py7ux]

군/구나 is used when you (the speaker) realize something or you are surprised, so i would say it is more similar to the "-네요" ending. Example: 걔는 이미 떠났거든. See, he already left 걔는 이미 떠났구나. (surprised) he already left

During my Korean classes or learning, I prefer to do them immersively and only use the target language. :) Thanks for the reply and consideration.
