How to say “you”
You may have noticed that I still haven’t taught you one of those most common words in the English language. I know this sounds weird, but the word ‘you’ is not said very often in Korean. Korean people get around saying the word ‘you’ through a number of ways:
  1. Most of the time, you use somebody’s (usually job) position when referring to them or talking about them. For example, boss (부장님), principal (교장선생님), vice principal (교감선생님), Mr. Name (for a teacher) (Name선생님), customer (고객님), guest (손님), 회장님/사장님 (president/CEO of a company).
  2. It is very common in Korean to refer to people that you are close with as your own family member. For example, 오빠 means “older brother” (when you are a woman). But even if somebody is not your older brother, you can call him ‘오빠’ if you are close to him.
  3. You can usually call any woman or man that looks very old “grandmother” and “grandfather” (할머니/할아버지). But other than that, you don’t really call somebody part of your family unless you are close with that person.
  4. You can generally call any strange man or woman that you don’t know ‘아저씨’ (man) and ‘아주머니’ (woman).
  5. If somebody is younger than you, you can use the word “you” which is: 너.
  6. You can also use the word “당신” which means “you.” You may use this word when talking to anybody, but Korean people hardly ever use it. Most people that say ‘당신’ are foreigners and only do so because they are so used to saying “you” in a sentence.


Basic Conjugation: Past, Present, Future
As I have mentioned in every lesson so far – every sentence that you have learned thus far has not been conjugated. All the sentences you have learned so far would never actually be used in Korean because they are not conjugated. I felt you needed to know basic sentence structure before you learned how to conjugate. The good news, however is that conjugating in Korean is much easier than other languages (including English and especially French!).

An important note before you begin
This lesson will show you how to conjugate past/present/future verbs in the most basic way. Although all of these conjugations are grammatically correct, they are rarely used in conversation. This form is sometimes called “diary form” because it is usually used when writing to yourself in a diary. It is also used when writing a test, book (not in dialogue), research paper, newspaper article, magazine article, and other times when you are not speaking/writing to a specific audience.
Though not important in conversation, these conjugations are incredibly important if you want to understand more complex grammar later on.
The only part of speech that gets conjugated in Korean is verbs and adjectives. As you already know, a sentence must end in either a verb or adjective.


Verbs
Present Tense
  1. When the last syllable of the stem ends in a consonant, you add ~는다 to the stem of the word:
    먹다 = 먹는다 = to eat (먹 + 는다)
    닫다 = 닫는다 = to close (닫 + 는다)
  2. When the last syllable of the stem ends in a vowel, you add ~ㄴto the last syllable followed by 다
    배우다 = 배운다 = to learn (배우 + ㄴ다)
    이해하다 = 이해한다 = to understand (이해하 + ㄴ다)
    가다 = 간다 = to go (가 + ㄴ다)


Past Tense
Before you learn this, you need to know something ridiculously important. From this point forward, there will be thousands of other times when you will need to follow this same rule. Usually, when you add something to a verb/adjective, it has to be done in the following fashion:
  • If the last vowel in a stem is ㅏ or ㅗ (except 하) you add 아 PLUS whatever else you are adding.
  • If the last vowel in a stem is anything but ㅏ or ㅗ you add 어 PLUS whatever you are adding.
For conjugating in the past tense, you need to add 았다 or 었다  to the stem of a word. So, 았다 is added to words with the last vowel being ㅗ or ㅏ and 었다  is added to words with the last vowel being anything but ㅏ or ㅗ.  For example:
저는 먹다 = I eat
The last vowel in the stem is ㅓ. This is not ㅏ or ㅗ. So, we add 었다 to the stem:
저는 먹었다 = I ate (먹 + 었다)
저는 문을 닫다 = I close the door
The last vowel in the stem is ㅏ. So we add 았다 to the stem:
저는 문을 닫았다 = I closed the door (닫 + 았다)
저는 창문을 열다 = I open the window
The last vowel in the stem is ㅕ. This is not ㅏ or ㅗ. So we add 었다 to the stem:
저는 창문을 열었다 = I opened the window (열 + 었다)
What makes this complicated (at first) is that for verbs that have a last syllable that end in a vowel, the 았다/었다 gets merged to the actual stem itself. This is how 아 and 어 merge with syllables ending in a vowel:
  • 아 + 아 = 아 (example: 가 + 았다 = 갔다)
  • 오 + 아 = 와 (example: 오+ 았다 = 왔다)
  • 우 + 어 = 워 (example: 배우+ 었다 = 배웠다)
  • 이 + 어 = 여 (example: 끼+ 었다 = 꼈다)
  • 어 + 어 = 어 (example: 나서 + 었다 = 나섰다)
  • 여 + 어 = 여 (example: 켜다 = 켰다)
  • ** When the last syllable of a word is 하, it gets conjugated irregularly (there are thousands of words with 하 as the last syllable in the stem). Instead of adding 아 or 어 to the stem, you add 여 to word stems that end in 하. (하+여 = 하여).  하여 gets shortened to 해 most of the time:
    하 + 여 = 해 (example: 이해하 + 였다 = 이해하였다 = 이해했다)
  • For words where the last vowel is ㅡ, it is very complicated and will be covered in the next lesson.
Here is a more detailed breakdown:
저는 가다 = I go
The last vowel in the stem is ㅏ. So we add 았다 to the stem.
저는 가았다
But, because the stem ends in a vowel, 았다 can merge with 가:
저는 갔다 = I went
저는 오다 = I come
The last vowel in the stem is ㅗ. So we add 았다 to the stem.
저는 오았다
But, because the stem ends in a vowel, 았다 can merge with 오:
저는 왔다 = I came
저는 배우다 = I learn
The last vowel in the stem is ㅜ. So we add 었다 to the stem.
저는 배우었다
But, because the stem ends in a vowel, 었다 can merge with 우:
저는 배웠다 = I learned


Future Tense
Future tense is easy, and is simply a matter of adding ~겠다 to the stem of a word:
저는 먹다 = I eat
저는 먹겠다 = I will eat
저는 가다 = I go
저는 가겠다 = I will go
저는 배우다 = I learn
저는 배우겠다 = I will learn
Check out the table giving a breakdown of verbs in the past, present and future forms:
VerbStemPast tensePresent tenseFuture tense
먹다먹었다먹는다먹겠다
닫다닫았다닫는다닫겠다
배우다배우배웠다배운다배우겠다
가다갔다간다가겠다
이해하다이해하이해했다이해한다이해하겠다
오다왔다온다오겠다
던지다던지던졌다던진다던지겠다


Adjectives
Present Tense
You learned previously that you need to add ~ㄴ/는다 to a verb stem in order to conjugate it in the present tense. In order to conjugate an adjective into the present tense you don’t need to do anything! Just leave the adjective as it is, and it is conjugated in the present tense. Some examples:
그 선생님은 아름답다 = that teacher is beautiful
그 길은 길다 = that street is long
저의 손은 크다 = my hand is big


Past tense
In order to conjugate adjectives to the past tense, you must follow the same rule as when you conjugate verbs to the past tense. This rule, again, is:
You must add 았다 or 었다 to the stem of a word. 았다 is added to words with the last vowel being ㅗ or ㅏ, and 었다  is added to words with the last vowel being anything but ㅏ or ㅗ. For example:
그 길은 길었다 = That street was long (길 + 었다)
그 음식은 맛있었다 = That food was delicious (맛있 + 었다)
그 선생님은 좋았다 = That teacher was good (좋 + 았다)
But, just like with verbs, if the final letter of a verb/adjective stem is a vowel, 았다/었다 can be merged to the actual stem itself:
이 것은 비쌌다 = This thing (it) was expensive (비싸 + 았다)
그 남자는 잘생겼다 = That man was handsome (잘생기 + 었다)
그 사람은 뚱뚱했다 = That person was fat (뚱뚱하 + 였다)


Future tense
Conjugating adjectives into the future tense is the same as conjugating verbs into the future tense. All you need to do is add 겠다 to the stem of the adjective:
저는 행복하겠다 = I will be happy
그 것은 맛있겠다 = That thing will be delicious
저는 배고프겠다 = I will be hungry
In general, not only is this basic form rare in conversation, but Korean people do not use adjectives in the future as often as English speakers.

비싸다비싸비쌌다비싸다비싸겠다
길다길었다길다길겠다
맛있다맛있맛있었다맛있다맛있겠다
낡다낡았다낡다낡겠다


Conjugating 있다 and 있다
You learned in Lesson 2 that there are two meanings for the word 있다.
One of the meanings is “to have” and is considered an adjective. You learned these sentences in Lesson 2:
저는 펜이 있다 = I have a pen
저는 차가 있다 = I have a car
저는 가방이 있다 = I have a bag
Because this 있다 is considered an adjective, we follow the rule for conjugating an adjective to the present tense – which is do nothing and leave the adjective the way it is. So, those three sentences above are perfectly conjugated and grammatically correct.
But, the other meaning of 있다 is “to be in/at a location” and is considered a verb. You learned these sentences in Lesson 2:
저는 은행 안에 있다 = I am inside the bank
개는 집 안에 있다 = The dog is in the house
고양이는 의자 밑에 있다 = The cat is under the chair
Because this 있다 is considered a verb, we follow the rule for conjugating a verb to the present tense – which is add ~ㄴ/는다 to the stem of the verb. So, the three sentences above are not yet conjugated and are grammatically incorrect. In order to make them correct, we must conjugate them:
저는 은행 안에 있는다 = I am inside the bank
개는 집 안에 있는다 = The dog is in the house
고양이는 의자 밑에 있는다 = The cat is under the chair
BUT! Though this is true, Korean people would still say “저는 학교에 있다” and not see anything wrong with it. In fact, it is actually more common to use 있다 instead of 있는다 in these sentences.
The reverse, however, is not true. You could never substitute 있는다 for 있다:
저는 돈이 있다 = okay
저는 돈이 있는다 = incorrect
저는 학교에 있는다 = grammatically correct, not used in conversation
저는 학교에 있다 = used in conversation more than the above example
