Hi everyone. Welcome to 동그라미 Korean.
In this video, you're going to learn how to say pronouns in Korean.
That is, I, you, we, he, she, and they.
So let's start right away.
The pronoun I in polite form is 저.
In casual form, it is 나.
For example, I am Jenny.
In Korean, polite form is 저는 제니예요.
In casual form, it is 나는 제니야.
The pronoun you in polite form is 당신.
In casual form, it is 너.
A little tip for pronouncing Korean is to articulate every syllable.
For example, it's 당신 rather than 당신 as you would pronounce it in English.
Examples, the sentence, you are stupid.
In Korean, polite form is 당신은 바보예요.
In casual form, it is 너는 바보야.
The pronoun we in Korean polite form is 저희.
But because in Korean, we usually speak it very fast, we end up just saying 저희.
Pronounce the he as 이, like 저희.
Then in casual form, it becomes 우리.
Be careful, a lot of people read it as 우리 as in the English.
But 우 and 리 are separate syllables.
So make sure to articulate it separately.
For example, the sentence, we are friends.
In Korean, polite form becomes 저희는 친구예요.
In casual form, it becomes 우리는 친구야.
Next, the pronouns he, she, and they are not divided into polite and casual form.
So you just have to memorize one word for each.
The pronoun he is 그.
This 으 sound may be a bit tricky.
It's like the first syllable of the word great.
Take the rate out, and it becomes 그.
For example, the sentence, he is a computer.
This time, for polite and casual form, the pronoun doesn't change.
Only the verb conjugates.
So in polite form, it becomes 그는 컴퓨터예요.
In casual form, it becomes 그는 컴퓨터야.
The pronoun she in Korean is 그녀.
For example, the sentence, she is a robot.
This time also, the pronoun doesn't change.
Only the verb conjugates.
So in polite form, it is 그녀는 로봇이에요.
In casual form, it is 그녀는 로봇이야.
The pronoun they.
For example, the sentence, they are friends.
You say, 그들은 친구예요.
In casual form, you say, 그들은 친구야.
With that, we went through all the pronouns I, you, we, he, she, and they.
But you may have noticed in the example sentences
that there is a syllable right next to pronoun.
Either 은 or 는.
This is called the topic marker.
And we're going to learn about this in the next video.
So please stay tuned until the next video.
And bye.
