Semiformal forms 🤗 We transformed verbs and adjectives into semiformal forms in the present tense adding 아요 or 어요 to the radical. We add 아요 if the radical ends in vowel ㅗ ou ㅏ. Otherwise, we add 어요. 찾다 (to find) – radical ends in vowel ㅏ = 찾아요

좋다 (to be good) – radical ends in vowel ㅗ = 좋아요

먹다 (to eat) – radical ends in vowel ㅓ = 먹어요

있다 (to have) – radical ends in vowel ㅣ = 있어요 How to add 아요 Fisrt, let’s see how to add 아요 to radicals with final consonant. (Later we’ll learn how to add 아요 to radicals without final consonant.) If the radical ends in vowel ㅗ or ㅏ with final consonant, we add 아요 to the radical. ㅗ ou ㅏ + final consonant radical + 아요

좋다 (to be good) = 좋아요

닦다 (to wash) = 닦아요

볶다 (to fry) = 볶아요

닫다 (to close) = 닫아요

높다 (tall) = 높아요

살다 (to live) = 살아요

Anyone have any tips for reading Hanguel without writing it in romanization? Preferablly in a visual format, since that works better for me, but writing the Hanguel to romanization to pronounce it isn’t exactly helpful for remembering the Hanguel. Does that make sense to anyone??

Another, quick update: I have written my first entirely correct sentence in Korean! I was following along with a video, wrote what I thought was right, and it was!

I seem to struggle with remembering the particles and putting them on the subject/object but I think that’ll come with practice. I did manage to use the right ones for the sentence I got all correct which is awesome.
