In this lesson, you can learn how to say that you have something or that something exists in Korean. The expression 있어요 [i-sseo-yo] can mean both “have” and “exist” and the opposite expression, 없어요 [eop-seo-yo] can mean both “don’t have” and “don’t exist.” Listen to the lesson to find out how to use them in real-life context. And as always, if you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask us in the comment for this lesson! 감사합니다.

    정말 감사합니다!!
    I have been studying Korean for such a long time and asked many of my Korean friends to explain things to me but have not been able to explain it due to the obvious, Korean language to them is natural. When I listened to the interview with James he clarified so much for me. It is true, does not matter how much you study, you have to hear that language every day and be able to respond to it and the only way to do that is stay in Korea for awhile. Last year I visited Korea and absolutely loved it because I realised that that there are not many people who can speak English, so it made my adventure amazing as I had to use my Korean skills.
    I hope through this site my knowledge will expand for my next adventure to Korea,
    한국어 공부은 재미 있지만 머리가 아파요 하하하 :)
