How to say "OF" in Korean [TalkToMeInKorean]

How many times do you think you say "OF" in English every day? Probably dozens of times if not hundreds. Because you use "of" so much, we thought a lesson on how to express "of" in Korean would come in handy for you! Direct translation attempts between any two languages often fail, and the translation of "of" is no exception. So please listen carefully to the explanations and you will find yourself speaking Korean a bit more naturally!
For more Korean lessons like this one, please visit talktomeinkorean.com : ) 감사합니다!

The Korean language has a whole different structure than Western languages, so it's kinda hard to switch your brain from direct translation to translating the _meaning_ of what you want to say. You pretty much have to erase everything you know from English and all the other languages you know, and start all over again.

In that respect, I think there are instances it is comparable to French.

@@MrJohnTeacher As in "Je ne te le donne pas" for instance, which literally translates as "I 'negative particle' to you it give not", I understand it is bound to confuse people learning French.

Absolutely. Directly translating from English results in such strange sounding sentences. We have to stop thinking in English and just let things happen by practicing what we hear and read that is more natura

I understand the possessive 's' part the best because it reminds me of Spanish class. Spanish doesn't have a possessive 's' instead you use the word 'de' which means 'of'; so to say the phrase "Carlota's house" you would say "casa de Carlota" - house of Carlota.

현우선생님이 제일 선생님이에요. 90% of my korean knowledge comes from this man. I finally found the motivation to start learning Korean after watching his video about ways to practice korean when you can't meet or speak to koreans/don't live in korea. I did the Journaling, it didn't work out well because I couldn't simplify my daily activities well so I just kept looking up stuff, but I still make unique examples after I study a lesson.

@AmbiCahira 5 жыл бұрын

I know your reply is 2 years old but still... Remember that even a child doesnt take just a year or two to build a fluent vocabulary. A kid gets corrected sooooo many times to get it right! The human brain is unique in how we rely so heavily on languages that we were born to learn this automatically through exposure that if you think about it... every time you hear something enough times you will automatically start to imitate it. It's why commercial slogans eventually end up as social jokes because imitation is in us. Truly the only thing you really need to become fluent is exposure over time. If you don't put effort you will learn slower than if you do put effort - but it will happen! You were born to do this! :) When I hear these new things like vocabulary words I will instead of thinking "this means this" pretend in my mind that I am a kid that points at it and asks "what's that? Oh. Okay!" And it programs as a name instead of a translation. At least for me. :) And don't try to learn everything after hearing it just once, just see it as the first exposure so that you can recognize it next time!

I just stumbled upon this channel and I love it. This explanation is great. Question for TTMIK: should we teach Korean songs just bypassing eui altogether for only 에 pronunciation of 의? I ask because I've sung in Korean vocal groups for years. Every single time we sing 의 it is 에. Not just as also, I'm so used to it I remembered it as a rule until reminded by this video of the original pronunciation. Too niche? The only times Koreans seem to say "eui" is to clarify (i.e. repeat) that's what they intended to say after a first pass sounding 에 (or it seems like that). Or in something like a documentary e.g. 수백만년 동안 지구 표면은 빙하 수의로 덮였다. (not same word but not really a negotiable eui sound I guess). ?

@LunaCelyn 6 жыл бұрын

It is natural to use の many times consecutively, but it is unnatural to use 의 more than once consecutively. In that case, you can drop some of them. For example, 서울의 길 = ソウルの道 가로등의 불빛 = 街灯の明かり Both are natural. However, "街灯の明かりの街灯の明かり" is natural in Japanese whereas "서울의 길의 가로등의 불빛" is very very unnatural. "서울 길의 가로등 불빛" is a natural way to say. You can also say "서울 길 가로등 불빛."
