NIVEL 1 LECCION 24

Hasta este momento, por medio de las lecciones anteriores, hemos aprendido a decir “qué” “donde” “cuando” y “quien”.

Qué = 뭐 [mwo] Donde = 어디 [eo-di] Cuando = 언제 [eon-je] Quien = 누구 [nu-gu]

Y hoy, aprenderemos otras palabras de este tipo 의문사(interrogativas).

Como = 어떻게 [eo-tteo-ke] Por qué = 왜 [wae] Cuanto (dinero) = 얼마 [eol-ma] Como + adjetivo/adverbio = 얼마나 [eol-ma-na]

Generally, these interrogatives in Korean are used before the verb of a sentence. But as the word order of the sentences is much more flexible (thanks in part to the subject/topic/object markers), they can come in at various parts of sentences, depending on the context or the nuance.

Examples

1. 어떻게 [eo-tteo-ke] = how

어떻게 찾았어요? [eo-tteo-ke cha-ja-sseo-yo?] = How did you find it? (찾다 = to find, to look for)

어떻게 왔어요? [eo-tteo-ke wa-sseo-yo?] = How did you get here? (오다 = to come)

2. 왜 [wae] = why

왜 전화했어요? [wae jeon-hwa-hae-sseo-yo?] = Why did you call? (전화하다 = to call)

왜 안 왔어요? [wae an wa-sseo-yo?] = Why didn’t you come? (오다 = to come)

3. 얼마 [eol-ma] = how much 얼마예요? [eol-ma-ye-yo?] = How much is it? 얼마 냈어요? [eol-ma nae-sseo-yo?] = How much did you pay? (내다 = to pay)

4. 얼마나 + adjective/adverb = how + [often/fast/early/soon/etc...]

얼마나 자주 와요? [eol-ma-na ja-ju wa-yo?] = How often do you come? (자주 = often / 오다 = to come)

얼마나 커요? [eol-ma-na keo-yo?] = How big is it? (크다 = to be big)

얼마나 무거워요? [eol-ma-na mu-geo-wo-yo?] = How heavy is it? (무겁다 = to be heavy)
