1. 0:00hello
2. 0:01everyone welcome back to my Channel
3. 0:04today we be learning for particles in
4. 0:12N so I've seen a lot of Korean Learners
5. 0:15have had difficulty understanding these
6. 0:18four particles and I also know that a
7. 0:21lot of people think that the concept of
8. 0:24un is the most difficult part to
9. 0:27understand in Korean language because
10. 0:29they don't exist in English but if you
11. 0:32practice a lot you'll be able to
12. 0:34understand these particles you'll be
13. 0:35able to use them very easily in the
14. 0:38future and I am here to help you guys
15. 0:40out so today I'm going to cover a lot of
16. 0:43examples as much as I can so let's take
17. 0:45a look at these four
18. 0:54particles so and N what we called
19. 0:57topping markers or topping marking part
20. 0:59particles and E and C are what we called
21. 1:02subject markers or subject marking
22. 1:05particles wow it's hard to pronounce
23. 1:07subject marking particles so as you can
24. 1:09imagine is meaning from the names n n
25. 1:12show us the topic of the sentence and E
26. 1:15and C indicate the subject of the
27. 1:18sentence so what we are talking about is
28. 1:21related to toping markers in and the
29. 1:24grammatical subject is related to EA
30. 1:27subject markers and if the word ends
31. 1:30with consonant or E should be attached
32. 1:33like
33. 1:34Os
34. 1:36or and so on and if the word ends with
35. 1:40and should be attached
36. 1:45like okay you have to remember this and
37. 1:48you know there are also a lot of
38. 1:50features of so let's take a look at that
39. 1:53one by
40. 1:55one the most important feature of un is
41. 1:58that like I said it shows us the topic
42. 2:01so let's take a look at when un are
43. 2:03exactly used so the first case is this
44. 2:07sometimes you talk about some general
45. 2:08effects with someone in your daily life
46. 2:11right for example apples are red cheetah
47. 2:14are fast or today somay these are
48. 2:17General facts because everybody knows
49. 2:19about that it's generally acknowledged
50. 2:21to be true so when you're talking about
51. 2:23these general of facts in Korean un or n
52. 2:26should be attached for example app red
53. 2:29is
54. 2:32in
55. 2:35Korean in this sentence the main topic
56. 2:38is Sagwa apples right because we are
57. 2:40talking about the apples Sagwa so that's
58. 2:44why n is
59. 2:46attached but it's also a general fact
60. 2:49because apples are obviously red except
61. 2:51the green apples so you have to
62. 2:55use and ends with v right
63. 3:01so you know is the
64. 3:07answer what about this
65. 3:15sentence are fast the main topic is and
66. 3:19you know it's a general fact so you have
67. 3:21to
68. 3:25use and what about
69. 3:28this
70. 3:35today
71. 3:37Sunday so we are talking about
72. 3:40today and everybody knows today Sunday
73. 3:43right so should be
74. 3:50attached great and are also used when
75. 3:53you're introducing yourself so let's
76. 3:55take a look at the example first okay
77. 3:58so
78. 4:03so in this sentence the main topic is
79. 4:06right I I is the important thing in this
80. 4:09sentence right so that's why is
81. 4:18here and so on and if you
82. 4:26say it means this is my mother okay so
83. 4:29this
84. 4:30is what we are talking about right
85. 4:32that's the main topic so that's why is
86. 4:36attached or if you
87. 4:39say it means this is my
88. 4:42friend
89. 4:46okay number three this is
90. 4:49important can also show the contrast or
91. 4:52the opposite so if you use them in that
92. 4:55way the meaning will be totally changed
93. 4:57so for example if someone ask
94. 5:00ask do you like
95. 5:03[Music]
96. 5:04animals and then if you
97. 5:09say it means I hate animals but I like
98. 5:14cats right there in the context
99. 5:16listeners will expect you to say
100. 5:18something different something opposite
101. 5:20things
102. 5:22okay I hate animals but I like
103. 5:26cats and this is another example if
104. 5:29someone ask
105. 5:31Hammer are you able to eat seafood
106. 5:35ham and then you
107. 5:38say it means I cannot eat any kind of se
108. 5:41but
109. 5:46shs so that's why is attached okay
110. 5:49showing the contrast so from now on
111. 5:52let's imagine you are with your friends
112. 5:54and you guys are talking about where to
113. 5:56go in Korea okay and if one of your
114. 5:58friends says
115. 6:02it means I want to go to
116. 6:06okay and then if you
117. 6:13say it means I want to go to so it
118. 6:16implies the meaning that you don't want
119. 6:18to go to home
120. 6:25okay so let me summarize when you are
121. 6:28talking about facts introducing yourself
122. 6:32or showing contrast you have to use un
123. 6:35or
124. 6:38n from now on we'll be learning e and Ka
125. 6:42EA you know this particles function is
126. 6:44to express a grammatical relationship
127. 6:47with other words or phrases they are
128. 6:49attached to nouns and indicate which
129. 6:52nouns are the subject of the verbs which
130. 6:54describe an action or a state of being
131. 6:57first of all e and C are you used when
132. 6:59you observe or describe something you
133. 7:02will always use them if the verb is a
134. 7:05descriptive one so for example imagine
135. 7:08you in a zoo and watching a cheetah okay
136. 7:11you are observing a cheetah and then you
137. 7:13found out the cheetah is a little bit
138. 7:15slow which is really weird so you want
139. 7:18to say about that to someone who you're
140. 7:20with you can
141. 7:27say which means oh that CH is slow oh
142. 7:31the CH is slow in English you are
143. 7:34observing CH and you are talking about
144. 7:37that so should be
145. 7:42attached if you
146. 7:44say it sounds like more general fact
147. 7:47like Chas are slow or every CH is slow
148. 7:51but if you say
149. 7:53CH it means the you know the one you are
150. 7:57watching is slow
151. 8:01and the subject is ch right it is the
152. 8:04subject of the verb slow of course it's
153. 8:07not a verb in English but it's
154. 8:09considered to be a verb I mean most of
155. 8:11English adjectives are actually
156. 8:13descriptive verbs in Korean we only have
157. 8:17verbs at the end of the sentence so is
158. 8:20considered to be a verb
159. 8:23okay what about this case if you're in
160. 8:26your friend's place and you looking at
161. 8:28your friend's cat and you want to
162. 8:30express the cat is cute in Korean you
163. 8:33can
164. 8:35say
165. 8:42or which means oh the cat is cute oh
166. 8:45this cat is so cute what a cute cat you
167. 8:49were observing the cat and you want to
168. 8:51describe the cat so should be
169. 8:58attached
170. 8:59okay this is other situation you are
171. 9:01walking the street okay and then an
172. 9:04older lady who were getting a lot of
173. 9:06luggage suddenly caught your eyes so you
174. 9:08want to help her out if you
175. 9:13say it means oh you have much
176. 9:18luggage you have much luggage I'll help
177. 9:23you you were observing so e should be
178. 9:26attached and you know Jim ends with the
179. 9:29consonant me right so should
180. 9:35come all right so when you observe
181. 9:37something and describe something you
182. 9:39have to put e
183. 9:43[Applause]
184. 9:46and great the second case of using EA is
185. 9:50to emphasize the subject let's take a
186. 9:53look at the example imagine you're in
187. 9:55your home with your mother okay your mom
188. 9:58is suddenly angry and
189. 10:00ask who ate it
190. 10:04all and actually you ate it all so
191. 10:07you're going to tell her the truth so
192. 10:08you can
193. 10:15say I'm the one who ate it okay I'm the
194. 10:18one who did
195. 10:20it so in this sentence you are
196. 10:22emphasizing the subject right I'm the
197. 10:25one who did
198. 10:27it um well what about this if you are a
199. 10:30policeman and you arrested the criminal
200. 10:34so you are going to say this guy is the
201. 10:36criminal that you've been looking for
202. 10:38okay you can
203. 10:41say should be a test this
204. 10:46guy you've been looking
205. 10:48for the
206. 10:58criminal from now on let's learn about
207. 11:01the difference between and
208. 11:05okay imagine the situation that a person
209. 11:08a asked to you what CH is doing now
210. 11:13okay what is just
211. 11:16doing so in this sentence the main topic
212. 11:19is right so that's why is
213. 11:27attached
214. 11:32went
215. 11:35for so in this conversation a was
216. 11:38curious about what chu is doing now
217. 11:41right so the main topic is Chu so that's
218. 11:44why is
219. 11:48attached so you have to answer
220. 11:52like because it's a main
221. 11:57topic if the person be asked to
222. 12:03you who went for by emphasizing the
223. 12:06subject you have to say
224. 12:11like the one who did
225. 12:16it the person B was curious about the
226. 12:19person who went foran so the focus of
227. 12:22the answer is a subject this why is used
228. 12:25twice
229. 12:27like
230. 12:32great let's take a look at another
231. 12:34situation you are drinking coffee with
232. 12:36someone and the coffee is really really
233. 12:38hot so you want to describe about it
234. 12:40okay it's description you can
235. 12:45say oh this coffee is
236. 12:50hot and then you drun another coffee and
237. 12:53it wasn't hot at all so how can you talk
238. 12:55about that in Korean you should use n to
239. 12:57show contrast
240. 13:03right another coffee is hot but this is
241. 13:09not get it so let's move on to the next
242. 13:12step we are going to learn how to
243. 13:15combine in one sentence let's take a
244. 13:17look at

254. 13:54really
