LEVEL 1 LESSON 4
죄송합니다. [joe-song-hap-mi-da]
죄송 [joe-song] means “apology”, “being sorry” or “feeling ashamed”, and 합니다 [hap-ni-da] means “I do”, so 죄송합니다 [joe-song-hap-ni-da] means “I am sorry.” or “I apologize.”
NOTE:
죄송합니다 is NOT always “I’m sorry”.
Even though 죄송합니다 [joe-song-hap-ni-da] is BASICALLY “I’m sorry”, you can’t use 죄송합니다 when you want to say “I am sorry to hear that.”
If you say “I’m sorry.” after you hear a piece of bad news from your Korean friend, he or she might say “Why are YOU apologizing for that?” to you.
This is because 죄송합니다 ONLY means “I apologize.”, “It was my bad.”, “Excuse me.” or “I shouldn’t have done that.” It can never mean “I’m sorry to hear that.”
저기요. [jeo-gi-yo]
is an expression that can be translated to “Excuse me” but this Korean expression, 저기요 is ONLY used for situations like (1) when you want to get someone’s attention and talk to them or let them know something or
(2) when you want to call the waiter in a restaurant or a cafe to order something.
How do you say “Excuse me.” when you want to pass through?
You can say:
잠시만요. [jam-si-man-yo] (literal meaning: “Just a second.”)
죄송합니다. [joe-song-ham-ni-da] (literal meaning: “I am sorry.”)
잠깐만요. [jam-kkan-man-yo] (literal meaning: “Just a second.”)
** Yes, “jamsimanyo” and “jamkkanmanyo” are the same thing.
LESSON 1 LEVEL 5
이에요 / 예요 [i-e-yo / ye-yo]
이에요 and 예요 have a similar role to that of the English verb “to be”. The fundamental difference, however, is the sentence structure that they are used in.
Korean sentence structure:
ABC + DEF + [be]
** DEF is a noun here.
Ex)
이거 ABC예요. [i-geo ABC-ye-yo] = This is ABC.
In English, the verb “to be” is changed to “am” “are” or “is” depending on the subject of the sentence, but in Korean, you decide whether to use 이에요 [i-e-yo] or 예요 [ye-yo] depending on whether the last letter in the previous word ended in a consonant or a vowel.
Final consonant + 이에요 [i-e-yo]
No final consonant (Only vowel) + 예요 [ye-yo]
Sample sentences
>물이에요. = 물 + 이에요 [mul + i-e-yo]
(It’s) water.
>가방이에요. = 가방 + 이에요 [ga-bang + i-e-yo]
(It’s) a bag.
>사무실이에요. = 사무실 + 이에요 [sa-mu-sil + i-e-yo]
(It’s) an office.
>학교예요. = 학교 + 예요 [hak-gyo + ye-yo]
(It’s) a school.
>저예요. = 저 + 예요 [jeo + ye-yo]
(It’s) me.
You can also make this a question simply by raising the tone at the end of the sentence.
물이에요. [mul-i-e-yo] = It’s water.
물이에요? [mul-i-e-yo?] = Is that water? Is this water?
학교예요. [hak-gyo-ye-yo] = It’s a school.
학교예요? [hak-yo-ye-yo] = Is it a school? Are you at school now?
뭐 [mwo] = what
뭐예요? [mwo-ye-yo?] = What is it? What’s that?
