Hi
This lesson was very helpful.
I listen the word “같다” in Korean dramas a lot and I really want to know a lot of more about its structure.
Thanks ever so much for your this very nice lesson, I really appreciate it.
:)
Patrishia :) Thanks a lot ^_^
“I wrote the sample sentence number 2 just to make you say this sample sentence number 3″ XD
I have a question, I also often hear the word ” 처럼 ” in many movie. 같다하고비슷해요 ?
The picture that you used for this lesson is so beautiful !! where is it ?
감사합니다 ^o^
The place in the picture was taken at the Banpo Bridge Park near Han River :)
-처럼 works like an adverb,
and
-같다 works like a verb :)
안녕하세요 !
1.제 친구의 치마는 저의것하고 비슷해요.
My friend’s skirt and mine are similar.
2.제 여동생하고저는 키가 같아요.
My younger sister and I are same height.
3.그 아주마는 제 어머님 같아요.
That auntie looks like my mother.
감사합니다 !!! ^^
예문 잘 만들었어요 ^_^!!!
선생님들, 지금 저는 두질문이 있어요.
1.In this lesson PDF got this example :
우리는 나이가 같아요. ( We have the same age.)
But u also mentioned ” 같다 ” without particle ” -랑 ” or ” -하고 ” ,it takes a different meaning which is ” to look like ” / ” to seem to be”/ ” be like ” .Then howcome in this sentence,no particle appeared but it translated into ” to be the same ” but not ” to be like “? It made me a bit confused.
2.In the PDF also has this two example sentences :
(1) A하고 B는 같아요.( A and B are same.)
(2) 이거랑 이거랑 같아요? ( Are this and this the same?)
I wondering why in (1) sentence after ” B” used topic particle ” 는” but in (2) sentence after second “이거” used ” 랑” ? For (2) sentence,can I say ” 이거랑 이거는 같아요? ”
감사합니다 !!! ^^
I have the same question (about the second point)
Let me try on your second question on….
(1) A하고 B는 같아요.( A and B are same.)
(2) 이거랑 이거랑 같아요? ( Are this and this the same?)
I wondering why in (1) sentence after ” B” used topic particle ” 는” but in (2) sentence after second “이거” used ” 랑” ? For (2) sentence,can I say ” 이거랑 이거는 같아요? ”
I think (1) has to put a topic marker so as to differentiate between A and B. (2) does not have a topic marker as they are 이거, there are two “this”, no need to emphasize.
Not sure if I am right…. ^ ^
안녕하세요. 저 지금 곧 twitter 하고 통해요. I must join twitter at once.

Hello!!!
Since i never have tried the 참외
i searched it and…
Muskmelon (Cucumis melo) is a species of melon that has been developed into many cultivated varieties. These include smooth skinned varieties such as honeydew, crenshaw and casaba, and different netted cultivars (cantaloupe, Persian melon and Santa Claus or Christmas melon).
For example here in Colombia the most known kind is Cantaloupe.
Here i left a picture of it
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericinsf/2273781432/
Now the question is… is it taste like a melon?
P.d HAPPY B.DAY DEAR Kyeong-eun
Yes 참외 looks similar to Cantaloupe! :) I’m not sure how similar the taste is since I haven’t tried Cantaloupe, but 참외 tastes a little bit more like pear than melon :)
안녕 하세요?
진짜 재미있는 선냉님이에요.
저는 정말 좋아해요.
잘 다녀오세요~~~~~!(**_**)
사랏 :)

선생님들,안녕하세요!
저는 질문이 있어요. As when I got to know this website,it already started level 3 lessons. Now I am reading through the level 2 lessons but I have a question about level 2 lesson 19. Can I ask it here?
In that lesson u taught us that verb+는 것 which change verb into noun for the present tense, use (으) ㄴ것 for past tese and (으)ㄹ 것 for the future tense.
Now I want to ask:
for example: “입다” ( which means ” to wear”,right? ),if I want to change it into noun,should I say:
입은 것 or 이운 것 ? (what you wore)
입는 것 ( what you are wearing )
입을 것 ( what you are going to wear )
Because I saw in PDF,for ” 먹다” it changed into ” 먹은 것” for past tense,but “맵다” it changed into ” 매운 것”,both verb end with consonant, but why changed into different form? Is it because the consonant is ” ㅂ” ? If so,what about change the verb into noun for present tense and future tense ? or only for past tense is special?
감사합니다!!! ^^
caddie :)
안녕하세요.
what you wore is “입은 것(i-beun-geot)”
입는 것 , 입을 것 . These are correct! :D
You’re right. It’s because of the consonant “ㅂ”.
Actually we are going to cover “ㅂ irregular” in our Level 3 Lesson 11. So be sure to check it out. :D
감사합니다,경은씨!
경은씨의 설명한 후에,지금 제가 알겠습니다.
레슨11를 기대해요 !
안녕하세요, Caddie 씨^^
Very good question^^ We are covering that lesson 11. But I’ll help you understand it quickly. ^^
Let’s look at two words you gave me 먹다 and 맵다. Can you see the difference between them?
먹다 is a verb and 맵다 is adjective(spicy). So there is no past and future tense for 맵다.
맵다(spicy) describes only state. ^^ you got it by now?
and 2nd question.
먹다- 먹은 것but why 맵다- 매운 것? not 맵은 것.
Is it what you are wondering^^ right?
That is because there is ‘ㅂ’ irregularity(which is called ㅂ 불규칙 in K).
About ㅂ불규칙, plz check out our upcoming lesson.
춥다- 추워요. 어렵다- 어려워요. 고맙다-고마워요.
If you don’t understand after our lesson, plz ask me again.
I’ll explain for you.^^
-Sonnie
안녕하세요,sonnie씨! ^^

현우 오빠는 로봇 같아요! I’m glad my theory is sticking ㅎㅎ
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ 아직 로봇 같아?
진석진 선생님은 JYP 같아요~~~ 헤헤
haha 저도~~
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
저는 생각이 잠외는 멜론하고 안비슷해요.
맞아요. 저도 참외와 멜론은 안 비슷하다고 생각해요.
안녕하서요!
Do Koreans also say:
이거른저거랑같아요.
or do you have to say:
저거랑이거른같아요.
???
P.S. I think the transliteration of the last sentence on the PDF says “go-yang-i” twice instead of saying “gang-a-ji”
이거른저거랑같아요.
> 이 것은 저 거랑 같아요.
저거랑이거른같아요.
> 저 거랑 이 것은 같아요.
: )
거짓말 sounds like you would say 個人(말) in Japanese. Makes it easy to remember :D
Haha it is nice to share your tip with us. : D
안녕하세요.
this car is the same as my teachers.이 자동차는 선생님이랑 같아요.
that book is similar to mine.그 책은 제하고 비슷해요.
that person seems to be tired.그 사람 피곤 같아요.
thanks.
이 자동차는 선생님이랑 같아요. > 이 자동차는 선생님 것과 같아요.
그 책은 제하고 비슷해요. > 그 책은 제 것과 비슷해요.
그 사람 피곤 같아요. > 그 사람은 피곤한 것 같아요.
It was so close. Nice job!
초밥은 김밥하고 비슷해요.
우리 강아지는 친구 같아요.
그 사람은 모델 같아요.
제 치마하고 그거는 같아요.
I’m trying to say ‘the cat on the chair (looks like/is like) the cat under the tree’ but I’m not sure if it’s right:
저 의자를 위에서 고양이는 저 나무를 밑에서 고양이 같아요.
If you want to say “to look like”, I think it will be better to use this verb “닮다”.
저 의자를 위에서 고양이는 저 나무를 밑에서 고양이 같아요.
> 저 의자 위의 고양이는 저 나무 밑의 고양이와 닮았어요.
감사합니다 석진씨!
I have another question about your reply:
How come ‘에서’ changes to ‘의’ in ‘위에서’ and ‘밑에서’
Thank you ^^
“의” is the possessive particle in Korean. It doesn’t always have the same translation, but in this sentence “지붕위의 고양이”, the cat literally belongs to the “지붕위” (on a roof), so it would translate as “a cat which is on the roof”.
“에서” expresses a location where an action is taking place. In the sentence you wrote – 저 의자 위에서 고양이는 저 나무 밑에서 고양이 같아요 – the “저 의자” and “저 나무” are just modifers to express where the cat is.
If you want to use “에서”, you need to have an action to go with it, such as 저 의자 위에서 고양이가 춤을 춰요(The cat on the chair is dancing).
랩탑하고 아이밷하고 비슷해요.
A laptop and an ipad are similar.
랩탑이랑 비슷해요.
It’s similar to a laptop.
아이밷은 랩탑하고 같아요.
The ipad is the same as a laptop.
어림도 없어요! 그 이야기는 거짓말 같아요.
No way! That sounds like a lie.
My dictionary says “거짓말” is pronounced “거진말”. Are both pronunciations correct?
거진말 is just a pronounciation of 거짓말 so when you write it, you should write “거짓말” but when you read it, you should read it as [거진말].
so pronunciation and spelling are not the same ? oh ‘____’
i always try to read every words as its spelling
anyways ,thank for correcting me , seokjin oppa (can I call you that ? :D )
발음 하고 철자 안 같아요 ? 왜요 ? @___@
and if i want to say” not always the same “, is it “발음 하고 철자 안 항상 같아요 “? or i have use another pattern ?
It will be better to put “안” in front of the verb 같아요.
>발음하고 철자가 왜 항상 안 같아요?
현명한과 어리석은 형제 Wise and foolish brothers (제 1 장part 1)
옛 날 키가 큰 도깨비가 나무로 만든 다리의 끝에 서 있었다. Long ago there was a very tall monster that stood at one end of a wooden bridge. 두 형제는 다리를 건너야 했었다. There was two brothers that needed to cross that bridge. 어리석은 형제 한명이 머리가 좋다고 생각해 말했다, “형, 먼저 가세요.” So the fool thinking he was smarter said, “Brother, you go first.”
현명한 형은 잠시 동안 도깨비를 봤다. The wise older brother watched the monster for a while. 그리고는 그는 도깨비의 장점과 단점을 이해했다. Then he understood the strength and weakness of the monster. 도깨비는 한 곳만 집중했다.The monster only has one single focus. 그래서 현명한 형은 도깨비에게 걸어갔다. So the wise older brother walked towards the monster. 현명한 형은 도깨비에게로 다가가며 말했다 “하늘을 쳐다봐, 구름들이 먹을수 있는 동물같아. As the wise older brother walked towards the monster he said, “Look up, the clouds look like animals you could eat. 저기 구름은 소와 같아, 그리고 당신위에 있는 구름은 개와 같아. That cloud looks like a cow and that one straight above you looks like a dog.” 이렇게, 현명한 형은 도깨비를 지나갔다. In this way, the wise brother passed by the monster.

The lesson is clear, but i have a question : for Are this and this the same? do we say
-이거랑 이거랑 같아요? (like in pdf)
or
-이거랑 이거는 같아요? (like A랑 B는 같아요.)
Thanks :D
Well, you can use both expressions. There won’t be a problem.
I sometimes say “이거랑 이거랑은 같아요?”.
TTMIK 선생님들 모두 천사 같아요.
안녕하세요.
Why does 같다 “to be the same” when in present tense becomes 같아요?
but when we follow the construction form of verbs 아/오, it should have been 같어요?
고맙습니다.
The verb stem of 같다 is 같 and the last vowel is ㅏ, 아요 is followed.
같 + 아요 = 같아요.
Thank you teacher for the explanation. ^^
Hi ! I was wondering, does it matter whether you use -하고 or -랑 in the sentence?
감사합니다 ! c:
