DKorean Conjunctions
Question | Answer |
---|---|
그렇다 | When starting a sentence with a conjunction, the suffix is usually added to a form of 그렇다 to create a stand alone word |
그리고, ~고 | "And". When you want to link verbs, ~고 is attached to the stem of the verb. 저는 먹고 마셔요=> I eat and drink. |
그래서, ~서 | Can be translated as "And". ~서 implies sequence of events. It can also be translated as "and so" or "and then." |
~(으)면 | If. ~면 follows stems ending in a vowel or a ㄹ. ~으면 follows stems ending in a consonant. |
~(으)면서 | "When," "While," or "As". Attached to the stem in the same way as ~(으)면 above. In formal writing, ~(으)면서 may be realized as ~(으)며. 저는 먹으면서 마셔요.=> I drink when/while/as I eat. |
하지만, 그렇지만, ~지만 | "But". Attached directly to the verb stem, and indicated a contrast between the two clauses. 저는 먹지 않지만 마셔요.=>I do not eat, but I do drink. |
그런데/근데 (spoken), ~는데 | "But". Attached to action verb stems and ~은데 to descriptive verbs. 저는 먹는데 안 마셔요.=> I eat, but I do not drink. |
~도 | "Also", "Too". Most often with nouns. It replaces the subject/object particle |
~(으)러 | "in order to". Indicates that you are going somewhere in order to complete an action. ~으러 is attached to verb stems ending in consonants and ~러 to vowels. 저는 먹으러 식당에 가요.=> I go to the restaurant to eat. |
