This is a great video! Usually in books, they just translate things as "broken/broke down", so this video really helps to differentiate

[@KoreanJream]

That thumbnail tho “My life is ruined” 😂 Students definitely have hard time choosing a proper word for “to break since there are so many options, and this is a wondeful video to watch to learn the diffrerence! 👍🏼🤩

[@ChoiSistersKOREA]

Hey, Billy! Long time no see😀🖐 The topic of today's lesson is very well chosen as while English "broken" mean very different things but they are all in different words in Korean😛🇰🇷 Love from Seoul!

Thanks for stopping by! And when will you guys upload Jinah's Jeju experience video? :D I want to vote on who had a better trip :-P

[@cherylschaeffer7832]

On one hand it's helpful that different verbs are used for different things but it's a lot more to learn... and more chances to make mistakes. I'm glad you did this video as it is, as always, so clear.

[@juliannesews]

Thank you for the clarification. I bought your book on Amazon some months ago and I find this is a great asset in addition.

[@anna--emilia]

Learned the basics from you 2,5 years ago and still learning new important stuff all the time! thank you!

Tip -다 is using for Dictionary form Ex) 하”다”, 가”다”, 자”다”, 입”다”. -요 is using for colloquial & polite, or “Let’s ~”, “Shall we~?” Ex) 해”요”(Let’s do) 가요(Let’s go). Remove -요 is using when you are talking with your friends, younger person. Ex)해(Do, dude), 가(Go, man)

You read my mind

안녕하세요 빌리 씨 :) 저는 하 지 라" 예요 . 이 비디오를 봤어요 . It's very useful. 정말 감사합니다. From India

[@koreanwithanna6038]

A little bit difficult. Very nice explanation!^^

[@GoBillyKorean]

Thank you!

[@seajames1690]

Honestly I feel like these are the easier ones to remember. It's 'break' that I find confusing. 부수다, 깨뜨리다 and 망치다. Especially the first one because people tend to conjugate it as 부셔, or 부셨다 for some reason. Here's hoping for a follow up video.

[@정연-b9l]

Same! I feel youㅠㅠ

[@supechube_k]

"my life's broken" i-

[@wishingonastar9860]

As expected from ARMYs

[@CRISH-df6hl]

There are many Korean verbs having the English meaning "to pour". Can you please do a FAQ video about that verbs.

[@natalia-pz4cb]

is billy spying on me ?? my laptop broke like 2 days ago and i was wondering how to say it 😭

[@aline21o85]

만가지다 is also to be a mess right?

[@kim4462]

Yes, right. But, exactly “망가지다(dictionary form)”, not “만가지다”.

[@Fluglecheese]

What's the difference between 깨지다 and 부서지다?

[@thestrongestmanintheworld]

깨지다 is more like glass or crystal and some rock breaking 깨지다 is also used in love or friendship 우리 깨졌어💔 - we broked up

[@thestrongestmanintheworld]

And or ceramics

[@Stan_sprinkle]

thanks for asking, I was coming to ask the same thing.

[@ToonMageChannel]

What does 뜨리다 mean in 망가뜨리다 and what is the difference between it and 망가지다? I heard it used in a show where a girl broke the room's heater and the other girl said, "언니 망가뜨렸어요" Thanks in advance. 😄

[@kim4462]

망가뜨리다 means “break (intentionally), but 망가지다 means “to be broken”. Ex) The baby “broke“ the chair. -> 그 아이가 의자를 “망가뜨렸어요(polite past form of 망가뜨리다)”. The clock was broken (itself) -> 저 시계가 “망가졌어요(polite past form of 망가지다)”. It is just difference of “passive” or “active” expression.

[@ToonMageChannel]

@@kim4462 Oh ok thanks for the info. Does 뜨리다 mean something as a verb?

[@kim4462]

Actually, 뜨리다 can used to particular verb which is related “have something act” Fall (something) - 떨어”뜨리다”. Be fallen - 떨어지다. Break (Something) - 망가”뜨리다”. Be broken - 망가지다. Ex) It was broken =그것은(It) 망가졌어(was broken) I broke this =나는(I) 이것을(this) 망가뜨렸어(broke)

[@ToonMageChannel]

@@kim4462 Oh ok. Thank you for the help 😊

[@kim4462]

뜨리다 is usually used in some words, then you can worried about that. :)

[@TropicalPianist]

I know all these verbs

[@bluecandies]

Omg this topic always confused me

[@nalaa9618]

그릇 doesn't mean plate. It means bowl. 접시 means plate :)

[@GoBillyKorean]

Not quite. 그릇 also can mean "plate" too. You can check the official definition in Naver, but the definition isn't so strict.

[@nalaa9618]

@@GoBillyKorean Ah okay :) Good to know. I got mildly scolded by the mom of my Korean friend when I visited Busan when she wanted a 그릇 and I gave a plate that's why I was so focused on that word haha but thank you Billy:)
