Oh great I like super junior too, and I love talk to me in Korean too thank you so much..
i love super junior
i like all of TTMIK’s teachers ^0^
sorry i havent yet been able writing korean -_-
Hi ,I still don’t get the different’s between adding the 가 and 를
Basically 가 marks the subject of the verb, i.e. the thing that IS DOING the verb or that the verb is done BY.
를 marks the object of the verb, i.e. what the verb is done TO.
So “ABC가 XYZ를 좋아해요” means “ABC likes XYZ”
and “ABC가 좋아요” means “ABC is good”
You can’t have 를 with 좋아요 because the verb “to be good” can be done BY something, but not TO anything.
Hope that helps. =)

저는 우유를 마시는 것보다 주스를 마시는 것을 더 좋아해요.
저는 주스를 마시는 것을 우유를 마시는 것보다 더 좋아해요.
I would like to express "I like to drink juice more than drink milk."
Which one is correct or both also wrong?
How about this?
저는 우유보다 주스 좋아해요. / 저는 우유보다 주스 좋아요.
저는 우유보다 주스 더 좋아해요. / 저는 우유보다 주스 더 좋아요.
저는 주스는 우유보다 더 좋아해요. / 저는 주스는 우유보다 더 좋아요.
I like juice more than milk.
Please comment. 감사합니다! ^^
더블에스 오공일가 좋아요. ^^ > 더블에스 오공일이 좋아요.
한국어 재미있어서 좋아해요! > Correct!
저는 우유를 마시는 것보다 주스를 마시는 것을 더 좋아해요.
저는 주스를 마시는 것을 우유를 마시는 것보다 더 좋아해요.
Both sentences are correct! You can use both.
저는 우유보다 주스 좋아해요. / 저는 우유보다 주스 좋아요.
저는 우유보다 주스 더 좋아해요. / 저는 우유보다 주스 더 좋아요.
As 좋아요 can mean just “to be good”, so it is more natural when you use “좋아해요 to like”.
저는 주스는 우유보다 더 좋아해요. > 저는 주스를 우유보다 더 좋아해요.
빅뱅 좋아요!
선생님, how to spell my name in korean? it’s so unique i don’t even know how to write it T_T 제 이름은 adiff 이에요.

안녕하세요!
저는 보이프렌드가 너~무 좋아요. ㅋㅋ
그리고, 제가TTMIK 수업는너무 좋아해요.
그래서 한곡어랑 공부는 것 난 너무 좋아요.
감사합니다 선생님! TTMIK화이팅!
btw, can we have a korean surname?? hehe. just curious ^_^
안녕하세요.
너~무 many mistakes
btw 보이프렌드 = 남자친구 I think
저는 보이프렌드를 너~무 좋아요. (or 좋아해요 to be more correct)
그리고, TTMIK 수업을 너무 좋아해요.
그래서 한곡어랑 공부를 너무 좋아요. (I like Korean and studying very much)
그래서 한곡어 공부를 너무 좋아요. (I like studying Korean very much)
can we use 가 with 좋아하다 when we want to say that we like a person
for exemple
종현 가 좋아해요
No. It means “종현 likes”
You either say “종현이 좋아요” – 종현 is good
(btw it’s 이 not 가 because of consonant)
or “종현을 좋아해요” – I like 종현
안녕하세요! ^_^
How would you say ‘Who is your favourite?’
감사합니다 ^^
P.s this is the best site ever, 진짜 재미있어요 ^o^
누가 제일 좋아요? I think..
literally “(Your) who is most be liked?” or “Who is your most liked?”
매일 우유 맛기 좋아해요.
홍기가 좋아해요. =)
매일 우유 맛기 좋아해요. Wrong too. I’m not even sure what you tried to say.
I like to drink milk every day:
매일에 우유를 마시는 거를 좋아해요. or
매일에 우유를 마시기를 좋아해요.
Milk tastes good every day: 매일에 우유 맛이 좋아요.
홍기가 좋아해요.
What is 홍기?
You said 홍기 likes. like what?
매일에 우유를 마시는 거를 좋아해요. > 매일 우유(를) 마시는 것을 좋아해요.
There is a famous singer named “홍기”. :)
HORAS….anniyong Haseyo…….
it’s seem that too late to post comment, but better late than never, right? actually i still don’t pass level 2 yet..
but i really enjoy learning with TTMIK, i like TTMIK very much, TTMIK joayo, nomu joayo. TTMIK jemi isoyo.
But, i confused how to say ” i, me, my, mine” in Korean,
i have listened about ” CHO, CHega, NA, Nanun”
it’s little difficult for me to distinguish these, what the difference betwen these?
isn’t Cho also means ” that (something far)”?
i think that there is so many words in KOrean seems alike.
such as, Nappun, Appun, ilpun, Sulpun..and so many more…
is there an easy way to distinguish its..?
thank u… Sem…(i mean seosangnim)
Let’s see if I remember all :P
I/me:
Informal: 나, 난 (나는), 내가 (나+가)
formal: 저, 저는 (전 didn’t see used yet), 제가 (저 + 가)
my/mine:
inf: 나의 written and pronounced as 내
for: 저의 => 제
to me:
inf: 나 + 에게 => 내게 (I think uncommon because 나 is informal, and 에게 is formal, so it’s mixed)
for: 저 + 에게 => 제게
But as they said in normal spoken form 한테 is used, instead 에게: 나한테 and even 저한테.
저 means something far yes. But its 저 + noun + particle:
저 건물이 멀어요 – That building (over there) is far.
저거 뭐예요? – What is that (over there)?
저는 그렉이에요. – I’m Greg
Besides 이거, 그거 and 저거 also have contractions when combined with topic/subject particles:
이거 + 는 = 이건
이거 + 가 = 이게
그거 + 는 = 그건
그거 + 가 = 그게
저거 + 는 = 저건
저거 + 가 = 저게
So a better way would be:
저 사과가 진짜 맛있어요. That apple (over there) really tasty.
저게 뭐예요? What is that (over there)?
제가 안 먹어요. “I” didn’t eat. (answer to a question “Who didn’t eat?” with the subject marker)
제게 들으세요 – Please listen to me.
As you can see all examples begin with 저 in the original form, but they are changed, if you want to follow grammar rules, be formal, and clear, using particles. In casual conversion you would probably use 나 or 난 anyway (if at all), and they are different from all.
About other words, yes, I also think they sound very similar. I can’t understand anything when they speak naturally. I need to listen like 10 times sometimes to distinguish words.
But I think it’s matter of practice. After you learn grammar, you can start reading. And read out loud, pronounce the words, and phrases. Eventually it should become natural to you.
Then watching movies with subtitles maybe.
I think this how it’s gonna work for me. For now I can only read very slow. Yeah, seems takes too much time unfortunately. :)
By the way about this whole topic of 좋아요 and 좋아해요:
I learned it’s called “action verbs” and “descriptive verbs”, something that English doesn’t have. In English only action type exist. So it’s pretty difficult stuff, to know what is what.
This can help as background for this lesson, which may becomes more clear after this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA7FRvJ4nw4
He also said somewhere that descriptive verbs never come after object (를). Only 는 and 가.
While action verbs can be both.
This is technical stuff, but in the lesson teachers tried to explain and make sense with examples. It has logic though. You can listen to this lesson again, and understand better maybe.
And here you can see the list of most common ones, in both categories:
https://sites.google.com/site/koreanlanguagesite/home/vocabulary-1
The navigation at the bottom. Dunno if it’s best source though. Just first thing I found.
What about these words:
끝나다 – to be finished (descriptive):
영화가 끝났어여 – Movie was finished
저는 끝났어요 – I was finished (피곤했어요) – at least in other languages there’s such expression :)
(저는) 영화를 끝났어여 – Grammatically incorrect.
끝내다 – to finish something (action):
영화가 끝냈어요 – Nonsense right? “Movie did finish…” what?
영화를 끝냈어요 – I did finish the movie
am I right about the difference between this pair?
these particles are still confusing me…anyway i don’t mind going over and over the previous lessons. Na neomu neomu neomu joayo your site.. :))
