Learn Korean Language: Let's Speak Korean - 014



In this lesson, we learn about ~지요 and the formal spoken form, eg. 추워요.

• 날씨가 정말 춥지요? = The weather is really cold, isn't it?
• 날씨가 정말 춥죠? = The weather is really cold, isn't it?
• 네, 정말 추워요. = Yes, it is really cold.

• 영화가 재미있지요? = The movie is fun, isn't it?
• 예, 재미있어요 = Yes, it's fun.

Jason and Miriam used the past tense rather than the present tense above. 재미있지요 becomes 재미있었지요. Refer to Adjectives - Present, Past for more information about the past tense of adjectives.

• 영화가 재미있었지요? = The movie was fun, wasn't it?
• 예, 너무 재미있었어요 = Yes, it was very fun.

Note: In this past tense, 미있 is contracted to 밌. Therefore, 재미있었지요 is contracted to 재밌었지요? and 재미있었어요 → 재밌었어요

• 영화가 재밌었지요? = The movie was fun, wasn't it?
• 예, 너무 재밌었어요 = Yes, it was very fun.
