Future Tense in Korean

Welcome to the lesson and in this video I want to show you how you can turn any verb into future tense in Korean. And if we haven't met, my name is Aina and I teach you Korean in a fun and inspiring way so you can find joy of learning again. You ready? Let's get started here. So when it comes to future tense in Korean, it's really important that you ask this question. Does the verb stem end in a vowel or a consonant? Because it really depending on that you're gonna attach a different attachment. Okay? And I'm gonna make it the easiest way possible for you to understand in the next 10 to 20 minutes. So bring your notebook. Let's get started here. And don't forget to subscribe and like because that's gonna help you to continue to learn with me in this channel. Alrighty. So you see on the left some verbs and then you see on the right some verbs. They're all verbs in Korean. I see 먹다 to eat, 읽다 to read or 만들다 to make. And when it comes to verbs in Korean, we have something called dictionary form. And these are all 다다다 ending, right? 먹다, 읽다, 만들다, 가다. All of them are dictionary form. So you'll find them in dictionary. And your job is to drop the 다다다 at the end. And we call this finding the verb stem. When you drop the 다, you get to the stem of the verb and then we can talk. Right? That's the stem of it. Now, you're gonna think, what is this C and V? Well, after you drop the 다, you have to look. So that's your eyes. Okay? Look at it and then tell me if this word, the stem ends in a consonant or vowel. Well, I see a consonant ending here. So all the 받침 are consonants, right? So they are consonant ending. But here on the right, I don't see any bottom consonant sitting anywhere. Like after dropping the 다, they're just left with vowel, vowel, vowel. So these one, we call that vowel ending verbs. Okay? So remember this. This is the basics of how you can conjugate to future tense or any other verbs too. We gotta drop the 다 and then we really have to figure out consonant or vowel ending. So keep that in mind before we start anything. Alright? So then, the part that I'm talking today is gonna be about verb conjugation, right? In verb conjugation, there is present tense, there is past tense, and there's future tense, there's present progressive, there's all kinds of tenses. And tenses are so important because you want to communicate like what you did yesterday, today, and what you will do tomorrow. All of that is about verb conjugation, how you change your verb to match the tense. And by the way, if you're new here, this is the sentence building pie. And if you have all pieces of it all together in this pie, you'll make natural, flowy sentences in Korean. Whatever word you're given, you'll be turning them into sentences like this. And if you want to learn how you can get all of them, like the sentence structure, the particles, expanding your vocab, the patterns, conjugating into all tenses, all of them will be covered in my course called Sentence Freedom. I highly recommend you check it out. I just launched it one week ago. It's a brand new program. So many of you, like so many of you, over 200 of you joined in just one week of launching. I'm just like mind-blown and super grateful. And you guys email me, tell me, and comment on the course how much you love the course. I am just so so grateful. Thank you. Thank you for being in the course, trusting me in the process, and just like enjoying the course and learning so much because that brings me joy to give you joy of learning. Alright? And if you want to know all about it, it's on my website and also I'll have the link in the description. Okay? So I will give you guys, step-by-step, entire system of building Korean sentences from scratch. Like all of them in the sentence pie will be included. And if you're here around in my YouTube channel, you know my one of my superpowers is making complex ideas simple, clear, and fun to learn. Okay? And I'll give you a glimpse of verb conjugation as I am teaching you future tense today in YouTube channel. Ready? So here I bring you the main flashcard. Okay? So this is gonna be the attachment that you're gonna attach to any verb stem that you see. So everybody repeat after me and say ㄹ or ㄹ 거예요. One more time. ㄹ or ㄹ 거예요. So that's gonna be the future ending. Say 거예요. 거예요. 거예요. Okay. A lot of students struggle with this pronunciation. That's what I noticed after teaching thousands of students. So say it clearly and lick in my mouth. 거예요. 거예요. Okay. So mimic my mouth as much as you can because it's important that you move your mouth a lot while you're mimicking. Okay? We know that from shadowing practice videos. Yes? Okay. So then you see my little stickers V and then C there? So V and C represents vowel and consonant. If your verb stem ends in a vowel, you pick this ㄹ and then if it ends in a consonant, you pick this ㄹ. Okay? I'm gonna show you examples one by one so it's not overwhelming. Okay? One by one. It says vowel ending, pick ㄹ 거예요. Right here. Consonant ending, pick ㄹ and then 거예요. Let's erase my annotation so it doesn't look messy. So hold on one second. I'm gonna help you see this better. Alright. So here I bring you my first example. I see my verb is to go outside, out of home. And 나아가다 is the verb. And I told you we gotta drop the 다 because that's called what? We call that a verb stem. Now 나아가, I see that it ends in a vowel ending. So I have to circle this one. I don't need to look at my consonant. I just have to follow the attachment. So then it will be 나아가 and then put the ㄹ consonant on the bottom. 갈. Then have a space 거예요. I will go outside. Are you taking notes with me in your notebook? This is so exciting. So 나아갈. Oh my god. I get like, I get thrills and I guess this joy transfers to you. Because I genuinely love being here with you guys. I just know that you are here. So, so good. So 나아갈 거예요. I will go outside. But if you see this verb on the bottom, to wear, that's 입다. That ends in a ㅂ consonant. That's a consonant ending. If you don't know how to read Korean yet or if you don't know the alphabet, the basics, please watch my video. I have a video, full video, like 30 minute that tells you how to read Korean in 30 minutes. Okay? So just find the one that I says how to read Korean and then watch that video. You're gonna know exactly what I mean by that. Okay? So there is a consonant. So then in that case, I have to circle my consonant ending here and then get 을 거예요. Like this. 입을 거예요. 입을 거예요. I will wear it. Are you gonna wear a dress? 드레스 입을 거예요. Are you gonna wear a shirt? 티셔츠 입을 거예요. Are you gonna wear pants? 바지 입을 거예요. I will wear. So that's how we go. And of course, without practice, you're not gonna know and it's not gonna go into your head. So I brought some words that we can practice. So in this video, you're not just learning about future tense here. We're expanding our vocab, right? Because I'm plugging in other verbs. And you're also practicing reading with me here and making sentences. Because conjugation, we are making sentences here too. So ready? Here we go. Number one, to go. Say 가다. To go. Now as I told you, the first step is to drop the 다. We have 가, 가, 가 as a stem. Now examine the stem. Does it end in a consonant or vowel? That's how important it is in Korean to determine that. Many grammar points will follow this. That ends in a vowel. I agree with you. So then I will have to cancel this part out and then I'm gonna circle the 르, vowel part. My flashcard already has everything for you guys. So then here I give you the attachment 갈. So I put the 르 on the bottom of the 가 because consonants cannot stand alone like that. Then we attach the rest. 갈 거예요. I will go. 갈 거예요. 갈 거예요. Where are you going? Are you going to the beach? 바다. That's beach. 바다 갈 거예요. You can put a particle. 바다에 갈 거예요. I told you particle is one of the big pie I showed you. We have everything in Sentence Freedom, the new course that I launched. I highly recommend you check it out here. If you're curious about building sentences in an easy way. So 갈 거예요. Where are you going next? You're going to the concert. BTS concert. It's probably next year sometime. I'm so excited. So BTS 콘서트에 갈 거예요. So just like that, we can make sentences. And I have an answer key for you. 갈 거예요. Right? And here we have the next verb, to eat. 먹다. 먹다. 먹다. As I'm repeating myself, you're gonna hear me and repeat after me. Drop the top for me and get to your stem. 먹. Eat your stem. Now tell me, does this end in a consonant or vowel? You tell me. It does end in consonant. I see a good good consonant 받침 sitting there. So I have to circle my consonant part, not the vowel part this time. Now all I have to do is to put that flashcard ending. 먹을. Have a space after that. 거예요. I will eat. I will eat. What are you eating tonight? I am eating pasta. I'm literally making pasta right after this video. I love my pasta cuz I make the sauce from scratch. Like with smashed potato. Not potato. Tomato. It's so good. Come over. I'll make you pasta. Okay? 파스타 먹을 거예요. 오늘 저녁에 파스타 먹을 거예요. 제 파스타 정말 맛있어요. My pasta is so good. 다음에 제가 만들어 드릴게요. I'll make it for you next time. Okay? So that's how you do your future tense for to eat. And here's my answer. Can you tell me what you're eating? What are you eating? 피자 먹을 거예요. 햄버거 먹을 거예요. 김치 먹을 거예요. That's how you do it. And now we got the third one to practice. We have a four-syllable word. So hear me and then follow after me. 연습하다. 연습하다. 연습하다. Wow. Do we all need to practice Korean? Do we all need to practice anything to get better at it? Yes. So this verb, we need it. And 연습하다, we're gonna drop the 다. And look at the stem, just the ending part. 하 is our ending. Okay? Does it end in a consonant or vowel? You tell me. It ends in a vowel because I see ㅏㅏㅏ right there. So it's gonna be our vowel ending. Do not worry about our consonant. Just add the 거예요 after. So I am gonna put now 연습하다 and then 르 at the I will practice. This is a little messy one so I can rewrite the ending for you so you guys can have a clear writing from me. So Korean. Let's plug that in. 한국어 연습할 거예요. I'll practice Korean. Or some of your dancers like Jimin, like Jungkook. So you can say 춤. That's dance. 춤 연습할 거예요. Stray Kids 춤 연습할 거예요. Right? Blackpink 춤 연습할 거예요. I'm gonna practice the Blackpink dance. Like that, you can do whatever you're practicing. Put it in front of it and you can make so many sentences just swapping out the nouns and verbs like that. Okay? So 연습할 거예요. And here I want to tell you because we're in the middle of it. We're almost at the end. I want to show you the casual version of future tense. How's that? Yeah? It's much needed. So the ones that we're doing it's all polite form that I'm teaching because whenever you hear 요요요 ending like you see 요, that's a polite one. Okay? But when you're talking with your friends who's the same age as you or like family member or dating relationship, you can drop the 요 and have a casual speech. And for our future tense, our casual speech will be this one 예요. 예요 part just becomes 야. That's how simple it is. So this 예요 part, I'm gonna circle it and then it just becomes 야. So my romanization is this YA. So it How easy is that? 연습할 거. 거. Keep the 거 same. 연습할 거야. So this is the casual. Okay? 연습할 거야. 예요 becoming 야 for this future tense conjugation. Whoa, whoa, whoa. So good. And here's the answer. Okay? 연습할 거예요. And we got another verb, to buy. Say 사다. 사다. 사다. To buy something. We always say, hey, I'm gonna get this. I'm gonna get that. I'm gonna buy it. Right? So you use this verb to talk about your future plans on buying something. Drop the 다 for me. And then what does it end in consonant or vowel? You tell me. Oh, you're familiar with this by now. It is a consonant. I see it too. There's no 받침. So automatically, it's going to be constant ending. So I circle my consonant and then I don't have to. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I was totally, I meant vowel. My brain. I don't know what was I thinking. I meant. Okay, let's go back. Mistakes are power. This is a reminder for you too. Okay, that's okay. So drop the 다. And then this one is vowel ending. There is no 받침. So I'll circle vowel and then drop the consonant and then 거예요. So that would be 살 space 거예요. I will buy something. What are you going to buy? Coffee? 커피 살 거예요. I'm going to buy a new computer. 새 컴퓨터 살 거예요. I'll buy a new computer. Like in Black Friday is coming up in two weeks. What are you going to get? Right? So you can think about it like 화장품 살 거예요. I'm going to buy some makeup or like anything like really like 안경, glasses 살 거예요. Okay, vocab is your power. If you know a lot of vocabulary, you can really swap out so many words in front to make hundreds of sentences. So I say to my students all the time, vocabulary is really the power. Right? If you know a lot of vocabulary, you'll have so much fun making sentences. And I cover that in my course as well. Okay, so that is the answer key 살 거예요 pop quiz. How would you say this in casual form? What is it? 살 거야. This turning into 야. 살 거야. 안경 살 거야. 컴퓨터 살 거야. 폰 that's phone 살 거야. I will buy in casual format as well. And that wraps it all up. And I have just one last announcement. If you want to learn more about sentence making, which a lot of you are learning Korean, like you're serious learners, if you're here in my channel, I know all of you're very dedicated. I highly recommend this brand new course that I just launched that hundreds of people just joined in one week. It's link in my bio and link in my description and on my website too. And it really is my entire system that I poured in years of teaching in just one course. And I make sentence building simple, clear and fun for you. And as I showed you earlier, too, I'll be covering everything that you need to know, including this whole thing, whether what you see in the sentence building pie. Okay. And it looks something like this, you're going to see me all dressed up, looking cute for you. And detailed explanation, bringing the charts and colors and quizzes and explaining particles, explaining how you can expand your vocab, remember them for a long run. And there's going to be 57 easy to follow videos because I don't like hard videos that connect the vocab, grammar, verb conjugation, sentence structure and particles all together in one. Okay. So highly recommend you check it all out if you want to learn further in making sentences because I cannot fill up all of that in one video. Right. This was just a glimpse of one part, which was a future tense inside of verb conjugation. All right. I hope you found it helpful. Let me know how you felt about this video.
