  • This video title isn’t clickbait - there is one useful word that you can add to your sentences to make them a bit more natural. It’s 좀, which comes from the word 조금 meaning “a little bit.” I talk about how you can add 좀 into your sentences to make them sound more natural, as well as how to do this with commands, questions, and even statements.

    I think the sentence “I’m trying to make some sushi” versus “I’m trying to make sushi” is a really good comparison for how 좀 is used to soften a statement. It feels more natural to hear or say “I’m making some sushi” just like how it might be natural to hear “초밥 좀 만들어보고 있어요." I think it’ll be helpful for people to think of 좀 in that way and for people who might still be confused, just think of what words or sounds we use in english to soften a sentence. Just like how we use those words, Koreans use 좀. I hope this makes sense. Anyways, thank you for the video billy! I would love to see more videos like this

    한국어를 독학으로 7달동안 배워 오고 있는데요.한국 언어와 문화도 첫번째 볼때 마음에 들었고 한국에 대해서 도 찾아보고 싶었어요. 가끔 저한테 한국은 커녕라고 말하지만 오늘까지도
    희망을 보존해요.한국어의 문법 너무 좋아하는데 단어를 공부하면서 너무 많은 단어를 볼때마다 좀 무서워하는 것 같아요. ㅋㅋ... 아직도 너무 많은 것을 배우면 좋고 열심히 할거에요!

    This is something I’ve picked up relatively early in my Korean journey so I think it’s a very effective word to sound more native. I think if I picked it up with a basic understanding of the language, it probably means it’s a very common and simple (yet effective) linguistic tool.

    2:22 Does the adverb 좀 have to be used as "좀만" for such a sentence as "좀만 기다려 주세요"? What about just as "좀 기다려 주세요"? Would that be okay?

    With english using like as a filler can be seen as speaking less properly/colloquially, is it the same with 좀?

  • @nevercircles
    @nevercircles 3 года назад +2

    I don't know if my memory is correct but I would sometimes hear 좀 as "quiet down" or "shut up" in dramas in scenarios where they want the person to stop telling on them or they're getting shy cuz of the compliments. Am I right?

    • @GoBillyKorean
      @GoBillyKorean  3 года назад +2

      That's when it's shouted out, and yes it can have a couple of other meanings that way.

    • @Munggoon
      @Munggoon 3 года назад +1

      좀 닥쳐! -> 좀!
      (command) Shut up!
      조용히 좀 해! or -> 좀!
      (command) Be quiet!
      In this context, "좀!"(pronounced 쫌!) can be nuanced to short a command that is necessary in the situation. + It is 반말.

      It's not that kind of filler word, since it actually does have a meaning.
