In this TTMIK lesson, we will introduce the verb ending -(으/느)ㄴ 데다가. By adding this ending to a verb stem, you will be able to say “In addition to -verb-…” or “On top of -verb-…”, allowing you to construct sentences such as “In addition to being smart, Kyunghwa is also really pretty” or “Hyunwoo is an author on top of being a business owner also”. With this verb ending, the possibilities are endless and your Korean sentences will sound much more fluent. Thanks for studying with us! Read More …

안녕하세요! In this TTMIK lesson, we will take a look at how to say “no matter whether” someone does something or not in Korean with the ending -(으)나마나 [-(eu)na-ma-da]. This is very similar to what we studied in Level 7 Lesson 7 (아/어/여 봤자), but the endings have quite a difference in nuance. Join us for this lesson to learn more!

As in our previous lessons, we will be going over how to make “reported speech” sentences. In this lesson, you can add a little more ‘oomph’ to your Korean reported speech by studying how to use -(ㄴ/는)다잖아요/-라잖아요. By learning to use this phrase, you’ll be combining the things you learned in Level 5 Lesson 27 with some of the things you learned in our 4 more recent lessons. We hope you enjoy this lesson, and thanks for studying with us! 감사합니다!
