TTMIK nível 7 lição 16 (Brasil)
In this lesson, let us take a look at how to say things like “I said so!”, “I told you!”, “I told you that this is...”, or “I said that I am ...” in Korean, repeating and emphasizing what you have already said before. In Korean, the key ending you need to use to express this is -다니까(요)/-라니까(요). This is not only used to repeat what you have said before, but also to make your point clear by emphasizing it one more time. For a review of how to say “I said that I ...” in a more neutral tone, check out Level 6, Lesson 11. Using -다니까(요) with Verbs In the present tense, descriptive verbs and action verbs are followed by different endings. After descriptive verbs, you just add -다니까(요). Ex) 바쁘다 = to be busy 바쁘 + 다니까요 = I told you I’m busy. / I said I’m busy. - 바쁘다니까요! (polite/formal) - 바쁘다니까! (casual) After action verbs, you add -(느)ㄴ다니까(요). You add -는다니까(요) after a verb stem ending with a consonant and -ㄴ다니까(요) after a verb stem ending with a vowel. Ex) 모르다 = to not know 모르 + -ㄴ다니까요 = I told you I don’t know. / I said I don’t know. - 모른다니까요! (polite/formal) - 모른다니까! (casual) 먹다 = to eat 먹 + -는다니까요 = I told you I am going to eat. / I said I’m eating. - 먹는다니까요! (polite/formal) - 먹는다니까! (casual) In the past tense, both descriptive verbs and action verbs are followed by the same suffixes, -았/었/였 and then -다니까(요). Ex) 몰랐다니까요. = I said I didn’t know. 벌써 다 했다니까요. = I told you I already did it all. 진짜 맛있었다니까요. = I told you it was really delicious. Using -(이)라니까(요) with Nouns After nouns, you need to add -(이)라니까(요). You add -이라니까(요) after nouns ending with a consonant and -라니까(요) after nouns ending with a vowel. Since the future tense is expressed through “verb stem + -을 거” and the word 거 is a noun, the future tense is also followed by -라니까(요). Ex) 학생 = student 학생 + -이라니까요 = I said I’m a student. 가다 = to go 갈 거예요 = I will go. 갈 거라니까요 = I told you I’m going to go. Using -(으)라니까(요) with Imperative With imperatives, you need to add -(으)라니까(요) after the verb stem. You add -으라니까(요) after verb stems ending with a consonant and -라니까(요) after verb stems ending with a vowel. Ex) 보다 = to look 보 + -라니까(요) = I said look! 잡다 = to grab 잡 + -(으)라니까(요) = I said grab it! Sample Sentences 1. 빨리 오라니까요. = I said, come here quickly! 2. 알았다니까요! = I said I got it! = I said I understood! 3. 제가 안 했다니까요. = I said I didn’t do it! 4. 저는 죄가 없다니까요. = I told you I’m innocent. 5. 혼자 갈 거라니까요. = I said I’m going alone! 6. 저는 정말 몰랐다니까요. = I said I really didn’t know. 7. 매일 운동한다니까요. = I said I exercise everyday. 8. 다음달부터 열심히 공부할 거라니까요. = I said I’m going to study hard starting next month! 9. 그럴 수도 있다니까요. = I said it’s possible too. 10. 공부 좀 하라니까요. = I said, “do some studying!”
