《Let's Learn Korean [Compilation]》LEVEL 1• LESSON 21- Negative Sentence
Advertisement
In this lesson, we are going to have a look at how to make negative sentences in Korean.
There are mainly two ways to do this.
How to make negative sentences in Korean
1. Adding 안 [an] before a verb
2. Using the negative verb ending, 지 않다 [ ji an-ta]
Method #1 is more simple and more colloquial, and method #2 is relatively formal but not nec-
essarily only for formal situations.
If you want to use method #1, and add 안 [an] before a verb, it's easier than method #2 because you don't have to worry about the different tenses of your sentences.
The word 안 [an] doesn't change the tense.
가다 [ga-da] = to go
집에 가요. [jib-e ga-yo] I'm going home. / I go home.
집에 안 가요. [jib-e an ga-yo] I'm NOT going home. / I DON'T go home.
집에 안 가요? [jib-e an ga-yo?] You're NOT going home? / You DON'T go home?
버리다 [beo-ri-da] = to throw away
그거 버렸어요. [geu-geo beo-ryeo-sseo-yo] I threw it away
그거 안 버렸어요. [geu-geo an beo-ryeo-sseo-yo] I DIDN'T throw it away.
그거 아직 안 버렸어요. [geu-geo a-jik an beo-ryeo-sseo-yo] I DIDN'T throw it away yet.
(adding 지 않다 [ji an-ta])
지 않다 [ ji anta] is the basic form and you need to conjugate it according to the tense, too.
지 않아요 [ji a-na-yo]
지 않았어요 [ji a-na-sseo-yo]
** You can apply the same verb conjugating rules as for the other verbs.
가다 [ga-da] = to go
가지 않다 [ga-ji an-ta] = to not go
가지 않아요 [ga-ji a-na-yo] = I DON'T go. / I'm NOT going. 가지 않았어요 [ga-ji a-na-sseo-yo] = I DIDN'T go.
버리다 [beo-ri-da] = to throw away
버리지 않다 [beo-ri-ji an-ta] = to not throw away
버리지 않아요 [beo-ri-ji a-na-yo] = I DON'T throw it away. 버리지 않았어요 [beo-ri-ji a-na-sseo-yo] I DIDN'T throw it away.

[This is the old version of the story before my drastic rewrite. it still has mostly the same plot and some of the characters are the same, but almost everything else is different. If you are really curious you can read this version but its barely worth reading in my opinion.] A young woman named Andromeda is taken from her world to another filled with fantasy and magic. She finds that she can use "Medical" type magic and becomes a white mage.

A Chimerical Hope
The dream we share is simple: no traitors, no masters, only bugs united. Lucidity is a dreamer's sacrifice to reality, and our sacrifice is the vesperbane. A vile transformation through bat blood and black nerve, the vespertine arts grant a mantis power and control beyond this world. Only vesperbanes can give our grand dreams breath — but all vesperbanes are shadowed by an incorrigible potential to instead become oppressors and defectors. Three nymphs will undergo this metamorphosis, yet each holds another dream in their hearts: a scholar who must learn the secrets of the mind to bring the dead back to life; a servant who must atone for lives taken and find a cause unquestionable; and a rebel who must kill an angel and avenge a destroyed home. In this world, the mightiest wield the power to crush cities or spawn monstrous armies — here, there's always someone above you, and it's a long, arduous climb higher. But true power is wielded by those with the cunning and the connections to direct the mighty. In every shadow a conspiracy dwells, and these nymphs already have killers hounding them, spiders weaving webs around them. Anyone can climb to the top, anyone can tangle in these conspiracies — but what would you sacrifice along the way?
