안녕하세요, 여러분! What are some things that you like? What are some thing that you don’t like? Talking about what you like or love is one of the first things that you get to learn to do when learning a foreign language. Let us find out how to say that you like something in Korean. And if you already know the verb 좋다 [jo-ta], let us also find out what the difference between 좋다 and 좋아하다 is. Be sure to pick up the free PDF and leave us comments! We love you all!
You can download 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.

How would you say ”I like A more than B.”?
Would it be ”A를 B보다 더 좋아해요.” ?
Correct! Good job!
Hi!
Can you help me?
I like to learn Korean so/because I like watching Korean Drama.
- 저는 한국어를 배우 좋아해요. 그래서 저는 한국드라마를 보는 것는 좋아해요.
- 저는 한국어를 배우 좋아해요 때문에 저는 한국드라마를 보는 것는 좋아해요.
I like DBSK more than Super Junior!
- 저는 DBSK(은) Super Junior보다 더 좋아해요!
Why 저 좋아하세요 not 저 좋아해요 only?
How will I say, I like to be good in Korean? Since like means to be good.
(저는 한국어를 잘 좋아해요.) – just guessing.
Lastly,
When I say:
I like to play, I like to work, I like to eat, etc. Is’t the like means to be good.
same using I want to … (~고 싶어요?)
Thank you! ^^
ulido dangshindeuleul joahaeyo. I’m learning to romanize korean and I am trying to say we like you all too. Please correct me if I am doing it wrong. kamsahamnida!:)
안녕하세요.
I didn’t understand why the 하다 verbs become ‘noun + 안 + 하다’ in the negative form and the verbs of this lesson take another way, like 좋아하다 becomes ‘안 좋아하다’, not ‘좋아 + 안 + 하다’.
It’s because the first are action verbs and the second are descriptive?
감사합니다. =)
Hi Débora,
I hope you to regard 좋아하다 as a verb, but not the form compounded with action verb and descriptive.
좋아하다 is just an action verb and when it is used as a negative form 안 is added on the front.
안 좋아하다.
감사합니다 석진씨 ^^
hi if i want to say “i like korean people” is it correct to say “jeo neun hanguk saram joahaeyo”? :-s
It is almost perfect! It will be perfect if you add the object marking particle after 사람.
> 저는 한국 사람을 좋아해요.

3) 동방신기가 좋아요.
4) 동방신기를 좋아요.
Sentence number 3 means that you like DBSK. And sentence number 4 is not correct because
좋다 is not a verb that can have an object.
this confused for a second because i thought you couldn’t use 좋아요 for objects,i think you guys need to be more specific that yo can’t use 를 for 동방신기 because they are people and not objects
TTMIK를 좋아해요 도 한국어조하허요
