Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another episode of Learn Korean with Fexingo? Luna: Yeah, I'm excited! What are we learning today? Lucas: So, over the last few episodes we've talked about days of the week, and we've talked about times like hours and minutes. Today we're going to connect them with the question word 'when'. Luna: Ooh, I like that. It's useful. Lucas: Absolutely. And before we dive in, quick honest thing — a handful of listeners chip in monthly through buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo, and that's literally what funds making this many of these. If Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with Korean, that's the place. Okay, so back to 'when'. Luna: Yeah, that's good to know. So what's the word for 'when'? Lucas: It's 언제. Say it with me: 언제. Luna: 언제. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's put it in a question: 'When do you come?' — 언제 와요? Luna: 언제 와요? Lucas: Good. So if someone asks you 언제 와요, you can answer with a day or time. For example, 'I come tomorrow' is 내일 와요. Luna: 내일 와요. Lucas: Great. Or 'I come on the weekend' — 주말에 와요. Luna: 주말에 와요. Lucas: Notice the particle 에 after 주말. It means 'on' for time. So let's practice a mini dialogue. I'll ask you, and you answer. Luna: Okay, go ahead. Lucas: 언제 와요? Luna: 내일 와요. Lucas: Excellent. Now you ask me. Luna: 언제 와요? Lucas: 주말에 와요. So now you can ask when someone is coming and answer with a day. Let's try another: 'When do you go?' — 언제 가요? But we'll save that for later. For now, let's repeat today's phrases one more time. Luna: Sounds good. Lucas: 언제. Luna: 언제. Lucas: 언제 와요? Luna: 언제 와요? Lucas: 내일 와요. Luna: 내일 와요. Lucas: 주말에 와요. Luna: 주말에 와요. Lucas: Perfect. Now you can ask 'when' and answer with a day. Practice these with a friend, and we'll see you next time for more Korean with Fexingo. Luna: 감사합니다! See you.
