《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.
