In this lesson, you can learn how to say something is NOT something.

Now, let's review. Do you remember how to say "this" "that" and "the/it" in Korean?

-------------------Review-----------------

[i] = this (near you)

[i-geo] or [i-geot]

= this thing, this item, this stuff, this fact

[geu]

= the / that (near the other person)

[geu-geo] or [geu-geot]

= the thing, the item, that one, it

[jeo] = that (over there)

[jeo-geo] or [jeo-geot]

= that thing over there

[sa-ram] means a person

[i sa-ram] = this person, this man here, this lady here, he, she

[geu sa-ram] = the person, that person, he, she

[jeo sa-ram] = that person over there, he, she -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[a-ni-e-yo] = to be not, it is not, you are not

[a-ni-e-yo] is the present tense form in the formal language of the verb (to be not). So [a-ni-e-yo] means "It's not." "I am not." "You're not." "He/she is not." and etc.

Whenver you want to say that something is NOT something, you can say a subject and [a-ni-e-yo].

NOUN + 아니에요

= TO BE NOT + NOUN

:

저 . [jeo a-ni-e-yo]

= It's not me.

우유 . [u-yu a-ni-e-yo]

= It's not milk.

물 . [mul a-ni-e-yo]

= It's not water.

If you want to say "This is not milk." "I am not a student." "That's not a park." and etc, you can add a word at the beginning of the sentence.

milk = 우유 [u-yu]

not milk = 우유 아니에요. [u-yu a-ni-e-yo]

is not milk. = 우유 아니에요. [i-geo u-yu a-ni-e-yo]

student = 학생 [hak-saeng]

not a student = 학생 아니에요 [hak-saeng a-ni-e-yo]

am not a student. = 학생 아니에요. [ jeo hak-saeng a-ni-e-yo]

liquor = 술 [sul]

not liquor = 술 아니에요 [sul a-ni-e-yo]

is not liquor. = 술 아니에요. [ jeo-geo sul a-ni-e-yo]

cat = 고양이 [go-yang-i]

not a cat = 고양이 아니에요 [go-yang-i a-ni-e-yo]

is not a cat. = 고양이 아니에요. [geu-geo go-yang-i a-ni-e-yo]
