In Level 6 Lesson 15, we looked at the structure -(이)라는 것, which can be used to express what you think is the definition or the nature of something. You can do the same with verbs, except with a slightly different structure. Be sure to check out all the sample sentences and practice by making your own sentences in the comment!
You can view a free PDF for this lesson here, or if you want to study with our TalkToMeInKorean textbooks, you can get them here. And after you learn the basics, try writing your own Korean sentences and get corrections from native speakers through HaruKorean, our 1:1 correction service.
Hello. Quick question.
What’s the difference between “혼자 공부한다는 것은 생각만큼 쉽지 않아요.”
and “혼자 공부하는 것은 생각만큼 쉽지 않아요.”?
I think the 공부한다는것은 is short for 공부한다고하는것은 which would be something like ‘The thing that is called studying’ like they say in the title, while 공부하는것은 is just ‘The thing that is studying’ while 공부하기는 would be ‘The act of studying’ or just ‘Studying’. Which would all just be ‘Studying’ is spoken English I guess.
선생님, 그런 말은 언제 써요? 말을 할때는요? 쓸때는요?
“혼자 공부한다는 것” That (one) studies by oneself
“혼자 공부하는 것” Studying by oneself
봄을 기다린다는 건 너무 힘들어요.
맞아요? 어색한 것 같아요…
I think it is better like this, 봄이 올 걸 기다린다는 게 너무 힘들어요.
아주 자연스러워요!
이렇게 바꿀 수도 있어요.
“봄을 기다리는 건 너무 힘들어요.”
To me “~다는 건” feels it is not my case necessarily.
“~는 건” sounds it is closer to my feeling or emotion.

안녕하세요. I have a grammar problem
In Iyagi 10 there is this sentence:
게으르다는 게 무슨 뜻이에요?
It looks like it is this lessons grammar pattern ( -(ㄴ/는)다는 것), However the (ㄴ/는) part is missing. Can it be droped? Is it another grammar pattern? I don’t know…
Thanks a lot
No, just 게으르다 is descriptive verb – to Be lazy
Maybe reviewing http://www.talktomeinkorean.com/lessons/level-5-lesson-16/ will help.
Thanks Greg,
I got it. I was confused since descriptive verbs haven’t been mentioned in this lesson
