- You seem to have studied Korean language from a structural point of view, which I think is a good way to learn a language, applying a general rule to many instances. Here's my answer. 'na' means "me" or "I" you should add a kind of suffix to "na" in Korean for the pronoun to have a grammatical case in a sentence. So when you add "neun" , then you have "na-neun" which can function as a subjective in a sentence. Adding "reul" makes "na-reul" which means "me", acting as an objective , so it should be placed before a verb in Korea. (This is the biggest difference between English and Korean grammar: English has S+O+V sentence structure, while Korean has S+O+V order.) In "nabogo pyeongbeomhadanda yae", "bogo" is not an infintive tense- to see . It's a special kind of suffix for a subject in a reported sentence . In this sentence, with the suffix "-danda" which is used when reporting a remark you heard from others, the subject ending with "bogo" is the subject in a reported clause. After all, this sentence translates to " They(She, or He) say that I am normal(plain)" One more thing, usually only girls use "yae" as a vocative to express some friendly relationship. And your phrase "naro pyeongbeomhaneun bwa yae" does not make sense to me. "ro" is a suffix for an ojective complement in Korean language. So i'd like to correct your phrase, as " nareul pyeongbeomhan aero bwa " Here, ae means (younger) person. (Translated to " They see me as a normal girl" Hope my answer is some help for you.0 votedFebruary 1, 20131
- In this case, "첫인상하고는 다른" which means (somebody) being different from what was judged by first impression" modifies "사람(person)". So this sentence translates into " We came to find that somebody is totally different from what was judged by first impression, and then become good friends.0 votedFebruary 1, 20130
- First notebook entry: Introducing myself I've been learning English for over 20 years and now I am teaching English to highschool students. I am an English teacher in Korea. My native language is Korean and I grew up in Korea. I've been travelled to a couple of English speaking countries , but I've never studied English abroad. So I think I am not that good at productive skills in English and this is why I mainly teach English reading, but not speaking or writing. I feel I need to practice and use English in real life more often. I need some help from somebody. In exchange I can teach Korean to anybody who are interested in Korean language and culture. Thanks.January 31, 201320
