Level 4 Lesson 25 / -(으)ㄹ + noun (future tense noun group) / -(으)ㄹ + 명사, 할 것

In Level 2 Lesson 14 and Level 2 Lesson 19, we looked at two different ways of changing a verb into the noun forms. They were -기 [-gi] and -는 것 [-neun geot] and they both express the meaning of “the act of doing something” or the verb in the “-ing” noun form.

In today’s lesson, we will look at how to make and use “future tense noun groups”.

    에~~~ 드디어 선생님들이 저에게 새로운 일은 주셨어요 ~~~ :)

  3. nikko says: March 3, 2011

    at last.. i’ve been searching for these lesson.. thanks guys…

  4. Curtis Couch says: March 3, 2011

    저는 보는 반거우가 이 래선인데 지금은 (으)ㄴ/는/(으)ㄹ 공부해요. 하지만 아직도 몰라요. 너무 햇갈려요.

    This is pushing me beyond my Korean ability level so time to switch to my native tongue. I’ve seen this in a few grammar books together with the past and present noun group forms. I know how to conjugate well enough but it’s acually knowing when to use it that confuses me. Frustrating.

    But another great lesson.

    Cheers.

  5. Asma Achek says: March 3, 2011

    Hi :)
    i can’t open neither the pdf nor mp3 files :(

    • Hyunwoo Sun (선현우) says: March 3, 2011

      Hi Asma : ) I just checked and it seems to be working fine. Which country are you listening from?

    • Jürgen says: March 3, 2011

      I also cannot access the mp3 and pdf files.

      Problem seems to be connected with the links beginning with ‘media.lybsin.com’ or ‘traffic.lybsin.com’. For example, i can no longer access the mp3 of level 1, lesson 1. The pdf of that lesson is stored under ‘talktomeinkorean.com’, no problem to download it.

      Maybe the problem affects only requests from outside Korea.

      Update: Tried again, everything worked fine for about 5 minutes (Korean time approx. 17:50). Some friendly person must have pushed the right buttons. But now, the problem occurs again. Error message ist HTTP 404.

    • Asma Achek says: March 3, 2011

      Hi Hyunwoo-ssi i am from Tunisia

    • Hyunwoo Sun (선현우) says: March 3, 2011

      Asma, sorry to hear that the file links are not working. It seems to be working in other places… We will keep checking! Could you try downloading them in a few hours?

      And actually, I think we received a letter from you today! Is that you?

    • Asma Achek says: March 4, 2011

      Ok thank you so much
      and yes it is me :D i am so glad to hear that finally you recieved my letter ^^

    • Asma Achek says: March 4, 2011

      and by the way i tried now and it works :)

    안녕하세요, 선생님들이! 전 말레이시아살고 있는 보령이에요!

    Below is 보령의 자기 만든 문장:

    1) 내일 토요일인데, 갈 것을 아무데 도 없어요?

    2) 엄마, 왜 시장에 가요? 살 것을 있어요?

    끝 =D

    • jinseokjin says: March 4, 2011

      안녕하세요. 보령 씨, 기억하고 있어요.

      한국어 잘 쓰셨어요. 조그만 실수가 있어서 고쳐드릴게요,.

      1) 내일 토요일인데, 갈 것을 아무데 도 없어요?

      > 내일 토요일인데, 갈 곳이 아무데도 없어요?

      2) 엄마, 왜 시장에 가요? 살 것을 있어요?

      > 엄마, 왜 시장에 가요? 살 것이 있어요?

    • bubble22 says: September 5, 2011

      안녕하세요, 저는 nadin 입니다 :)
      반갑습니다
      선생님 한테 문제가 있어요.

      Why did you use 이 instead of 을?
      Isn’t 살 것 the object of the sentence and not the subject?

      감사합니다

  7. taey says: March 4, 2011

    여기에 재미있는 할것이 있습니다? Is there anything fun to do here? .

    제가 갈데 없어요. 집에 같이 있으실 수 있나요? I have no place to go. Perhaps I can stay with you?

    앉을것 없어요. 그래서 바닦에 앉으세요. There’s nothing to sit on. So, sit on the floor.

    여기도 마실것 전혀 없어요? 목 정말 말라서 아파요. There’s nothing at all to drink here either? I’m so thirsty it hurts.

    이레슨 정말 좋아요. 너무 많이 말할 수 있네요.
    선생님들 너무 멋있어요. 정말 고맙습니다

    • jinseokjin says: March 4, 2011

      Thanks for your comment. Wow your Korean is excellent!

      However there are several small mistakes so let me adjust them.

      여기에 재미있는 할것이 있습니다?

      > 여기에 재미있는 것들이 있어요?

      앉을것 없어요. 그래서 바닦에 앉으세요.

      > 앉을 데가 없어요. 그러니까 바닥에 앉으세요.

    • muses says: March 28, 2012

      Hey teacher

      for the first example ‘ Is there anything fun to do here? ‘,
      can i use 여기에 할 재미있는 것이 있어요?
      does it also make sense?

      also,why did you use 들 in the sentence?

      thanks!

  9. Samier says: March 4, 2011

    안녕하세요 TTMIK ^^

    I learned some new verbs like 타다 ㅎㅎㅎ

    I think the only thing that makes this a bit challenging is that some of these sentences can have two meaning ^^;;;;;

    1. 마시다
    누가 마실 거예요?

    맞아요

    감사합니다

    • jinseokjin says: March 4, 2011

      Thanks for your comment Samier. When you face a problem or there is a problem, please let us know. We will help you.

  10. Stefano says: March 5, 2011

    TTMIK에서 배울 것 많아요…

  11. hope says: March 5, 2011

    안녕하세요 선생님들이!!!!!!!!
    thanks for the lesson,but i got confused a little: what`s the difference between
    이야기할 것… and 할 이야기가…?.
    I know that I have to study more.

    • jinseokjin says: March 7, 2011

      이야기 할 것 is “something to talk”.

      할 이야기 is “a story I want to talk”.

      Basically their meanings are same. They are just different in the way of expression.

    • hope says: March 26, 2011

      감사합니다 진석진 선생님….I finally understood…thanks.

  12. wintergreen says: March 6, 2011

    안녕하세요!

    한국어 배우면 배울수록 더 어려워지고 배울 것이 더 많아져요. 다행히 TTMIK선생님들 덕분에 한국어를 더 쉽고 재미있게 배울 수 있어요. 선생님들, 감사합니다!

    즐거운 하루 보내세요. ^^

    • jinseokjin says: March 7, 2011

      저도 사실 영어를 배우면 배울 수록 어려워져요. 하지만 wintergreen 씨, 그럴 수록 더 좋은 표현들을 배울 수 있는 것 같아요.

  13. Laurens says: March 6, 2011

    Did anyone else notice the notes in the mp3 file? I listened to the lesson and could look at the notes on my ipod at the same time.
    I hope you guys keep them in future lessons! It’s a great addition to an already fantastic website.

  14. says: March 8, 2011

    아까 제가 두근두근하는 마음은 못 멈춰요 근데 지금 멈췄어요. ㅋㅋㅋ

    • jinseokjin says: March 8, 2011

      아… 무엇 때문에 두근두근 거렸어요?

    • says: March 10, 2011

      음… 문장이 그저 하고 재있나봐요~~~

  15. Gilbert Lee Lewis says: March 8, 2011

    집에 먹을 것이 전혀 없었어요. 그래서, 나는 가게에 갔고 싱싱한 야채 샀어요!! 팟캐스트를 잘 했어요!!! 고맙습니다!!!

    • jinseokjin says: March 8, 2011

      와~ 틀린 곳이 한 곳도 없어요. 한국어 너무 잘 쓰셨어요.

  16. Garrett Emslie says: March 12, 2011

    오늘은 먹을 피자가 치즈 많아요. 갈 식당이 진주 시내이애요. The pizza I’ll eat today will have lots of cheese on it. The restaurant I’ll go to is in downtown Jinju.

    • jinseokjin says: March 13, 2011

      Garrett 씨, 진주에 살아요? 예전에 진주 많이 갔었어요.

      오늘은 먹을 피자가 치즈 많아요.

      > 오늘 먹을 피자는 치즈가 많아요 (or 많이 있어요. )

      오늘 먹을 피자 = The pizza (I will) eat today = subject

      갈 식당이 진주 시내이애요.

      > 갈 식당은 진주 시내에 있어요.

      There is a small mistake in the subject marking particle so I think it will be better if you see this lesson.

      http://www.talktomeinkorean.com/lessons/level-1-lesson-9-%EC%9D%80-%EB%8A%94-%EC%9D%B4-%EA%B0%80-topicsubject-marking-particles/

    • Garrett Emslie says: March 20, 2011

      감사합니다 석진씨! 전 Topic markers이랑 subject markers이랑 잘못을 많이 해요.

      In the first sentence, why did you put the subject marker 가 after 치즈? It seems that cheese should be the object of the sentence.

      하야튼, 네 전 진주에 살아요. 진주가 정말 좋아요.

    • jinseokjin says: March 21, 2011

      Thanks for your comment Garret 씨.

      Regarding the sentence, let me divide the sentence into two parts.

      오늘 먹을 피자는 치즈가 많아요

      > 오늘 먹을 피자에는 // 치즈가 많아요

      In the pizza which we are going to have // there is a lot of cheese

      As you see, there is no verb except “be verb” so there is no object.

      Let me make a sentece using an object marking particle.

      오늘 친구들과 피자를 먹었는데, 치즈가 정말 많았어요.

      In this sentence, “피자” is the object for the verb “먹다” so the object marking particle “를” is used.

  17. Mai Magdi says: April 15, 2011

    is there different between 내일 공부할 외국어예요 and 내일 할 공부 외국어예요 :D :D

    • jinseokjin says: April 18, 2011

      You need to write the obeject before the sentence.

      For example,

      한국어는 내일 공부할 외국어예요.

  18. zahra says: May 1, 2011

    안녕하세요~ 제가 미국친구한테 한국어를 가끔 가르쳐주는데요
    do you like to drink beer? 이문장에서 친구가 그냥 너 맥주좋아하니?라는 문장말고 맥주 마시는 것을 좋아하니?라고 알고 싶어하는데
    “마시는 것을”을 어떻게 설명해야할지 모르겠어요.
    “것을”을 어떻게 설명해야할까요?
    도와주세요~~~ㅠㅠ

  20. Jolly Good says: August 21, 2011

    1. 너무 배고파지만 우리 집에는 먹을 것이 없어서 가게에 가야 돼요. (I’m really hungry but, at my house, there is no food so I have to go to the shop.)
    2. 오늘은 할 것이 없어요. (I have nothing to do today.)
    3. 저는 살 싶은 것이 많지만 일하는 것 안 해서 돈이 없어요. (There are a lot of things I want to buy but I don’t work so have no money.)

    • jinseokjin says: August 24, 2011

      1. 너무 배고파지만 > 너무 배고프지만
      3. 저는 살 싶은 것이 많지만 일하는 것 안 해서 돈이 없어요. > 저는 살 것이 많지만 일하지 않아서 돈이 없어요.

    안녕하세요, I’m back with a sample conversation :P

    1= a client 
    2= ice cream seller 

    1: 오늘은 진짜 덥는데, 춥은 마실 것 있어요?
    2: 아니요. 오늘은 많이 사람이 춥은 마실 것을 샀어서 춥은 마실 것을 없어요. 죄송합니다 …
    1: 괜찮아요. 그러면, 아이스크림 있이요?
    2: 네 ^_^
    1: 좋아요! 많이 아이스크림  주세요 ^_^ 감사합니다 
    2: 아니에요! ^_^ 안녕히 가세요!
    1: 안녕히 게세요!

    I hope that I didn’t make any big mistakes ^_^

    감사합니다 for your hard work :D

    • jinseokjin says: August 29, 2011

      Nice try!! Thanks for your comment. Let me correct some unnatural words. :)

      덥는데 > 더운데

      춥은 마실 것 > 차가운 음료수

      오늘은 많이 사람이 춥은 마실 것을 샀어서 춥은 마실 것을 없어요. > 오늘은 사람들이 차가운 음료수을 많이 사서, (차가운 음료수가 you can omit the repeating part) 없어요.

      아이스크림 있이요? > 아이스크림 있어요?

      안녕히 게세요! > 안녕히 계세요.

  22. Boris Lo says: September 4, 2011

    Just a question on the sample sentences number 2 and 3: aren’t these sentences expressing a state in the present tense? So why would we use the future tense noun group in those senteces?

    Thanks!

  23. Hee Lee says: October 20, 2011
