    I'd say something along the lines of "Stop spewing bullshit and cut to the point" or "Stop the chatter and tell me" here I'm assuming they wanted to write 잔말

    Korean does not change depending on person or number but by hierarchical construct. Now I did mention it doesn't change by subject's person/number, but it can change meanings depending on that OR be wrong. As for the case for ㄹ걸 (그랬다), I've seen it used for 1st person (singular or plural) mostly, but 2nd person also... not 3rd though... -지 그랬다 is mostly sensed as though you are saying it to someone. (2nd person) Hope this helps.

    안녕하세요 :D These sentences lack conjugations. 저는 학교에 가다. -> 저는 학교에 가요/갑니다. 지금 유리가 식당에 음식을 먹다. -> 지금 유리가 식당에서 밥/음식을 먹어요/먹습니다. 1) To conjugate verbs in Polite Informal (Its not for too formal situations) Conjugation you need to see root-final vowel. 가다 root-final vowel 가 (ㅏ) and 아 is an open vowel so you add 아요 and get 가아요 which becomes 가요. For 먹다 root-final vowel is 먹 (ㅓ) and 어 is a closed vowel so you add 어요 and you get 먹어요. 다 is an infinitive ending which is not used in conjugations that much :D [Because of the vowel conjugation, it has lots of irregulars which you will learn :)] 2) To conjugate verbs in Polite Formal Conjugation you need to see if the final consonant of the root-final syllable. We have two endings here: ㅂ니다 which is used for when final consonant doesn't exist or it's ㄹ (가다 -> 가-ㅂ니다 -> 갑니다; 알다 -> 알-ㅂ니다 -> 압니다). For other consonants you add 습니다. (먹다 -> 먹습니다) 3) When you are trying to say "at, in" but you have action (not movement) in that location you instead use 에서 :D

    To JM Ryu I wouldn't say that 서울역 is a really special case. There are plenty of cases like this I'm sure. 서울역 is 서울-역 1) 서울역 > [서울녁] 니은 첨가 2) [서울녁] > [서울력] 유음화

    많아 [마:나] is a conjugation of a descriptive verb 많다 meaning "to be a lot, many" 만나 [만나] is a conjugation of an active verb 만나다 meaning "to meet" 1) The difference is the consonant meetup in the word 만나. As you see two ㄴs meet while on the other hand 많아 doesn't have that kind of a thing. 2) As I mentioned above by pronunciation, the difference is also the prolonged vowel sound. 많아 is pronounced as 마아나 and 만나 is pronounced just how you see it. Hope this helps :D

    Well there are few ways to express passive voice or "피동" in Korean. The ways of expressing passive voice are called 피동법. 피동법 as I mentioned is several: 1) 접미피동법. Way of forming passive voice by suffixes. Of course not every word takes these suffixes though. These suffixes do have some rules on when they are used but that's too detailed. If you still want to know them though, I could write them out :D These are used to form passive voice are: -이-; -히-; -리-; -기- as suffixes. Examples: 쓰다 -> 쓰이다; 먹다 -> 먹히다; 듣다 -> 들리다; 안다 -> 안기다. 2) -(아/어)지다 피동법. Way of forming passive voice using -(아/어)지다. As you may already know this grammar point is used on adjectives to express change in form/state, however when used with transitive verbs it forms a passive voice. This way just like 접미피동법 cannot be used for every verb. Examples: 만들다 -> 만들어지다. However: 읽다 -> 읽어지다 is wrong. In cases like these you can use the 접미피동법+(아/어지다) 피동법 읽다 -> 읽히다 -> 읽혀지다. 3) Another way to make passive are suffixes: -되다; -받다; -당하다. These suffixes are applied on nouns. 사용-하다 -> 사용-되다 사랑-하다 -> 사랑-받다 이용-하다 -> 이용-당하다 From my knowledge -받다 is uncommon and only added on several nouns and -당하다 carries a negative meaning. For example: 이용되다 1) to be utilized (for good) 2) to be exploited (to one's advantage) 이용당하다 1) to be exploited (to one's advantage) However already negative roots still share the same meaning. 해고되다 <-> 해고당하다 Nearly forgot your second question! "Apple was eaten (by me)" would probably be "사과가 나에게 먹혔다" Leaving off further morphology/syntax to you :D
