What is this? / This is soju
After studying with this lesson, you will be able to say “This is ABC.” and also ask “Is this ABC?” and “What is this?” in polite/formal Korean.</ br>
이에요 / 예요 [i-e-yo / ye-yo]
In the previous lesson, you learned how 이에요 [i-e-yo] and 예요 [ye-yo] can be placed after a noun to express the meaning of “It is ABC” or “I am DEF.”</ br></ br>
Review / Example</ br> 책 [chaek] + 이에요 [i-e-yo] = 책이에요. [chaek-i-e-yo] It’s a book.</ br> 저 [jeo] + 예요 [ye-yo] = 저예요. [jeo-ye-yo] It’s me.</ br>
- 이에요 and 예요 have a similar role to that of the English verb “to be”.</ br></ br>
Final consonant + 이에요 [i-e-yo]</ br> No final consonant (Only vowel) + 예요 [ye-yo]</ br></ br>
이거 [i-geo] = this, this one</ br> 이 [i] (“this”) + 것 [geot] (“thing”) = 이것 [i-geot] --> 이거 [i-geo]</ br> 이거 [i-geo] is originally 이것 [i-geot] and it is a combination of 이 [i] (“this”) and 것 [geot] (“thing”) but it is often used as just 이거 [i-geo] for the ease of pronunciation.</ br></ br>
