    I Pity the fools that looked at the title and thought "Oh I already know 잘" obviously there is so much more to take away from this lesson.

    잘생기다 is used only in the past tense because 생기다 means "to be formed/created." So 잘생기다 is used always in the past in the sense of "was created well" (i.e., was "formed" handsomely) and that state continues.

    thank you for this! it always confused me when people translated it to "well" because it doesn't always make sense, like how you said "i will eat it well" means "i will enjoy this." no one had been able to explain it to me

    I've asked my korean friends to explain me "잘" and "좀" usages SO many times and no one of them could answer, so THANK YOU so much for helping me understand one of them! Can you help us with the different usages of "좀" too? You would save my life :'(

    This was really interesting because it made me realize some things I was already doing but kind of reversed. In all these scenarios I still saw the word as being "well" but applied different meanings to well, in ways we wouldn't in English and that I didn't know how to explain back to someone else.

    Very useful lesson Billy, thank you! Could you please explain the difference between 질 하다 and 잘하다? Greetings from Mexico

    • @GoBillyKorean
      @GoBillyKorean  2 года назад

      잘하다 is for being skilled at something, while 잘 하다 just means 잘 ("well" or "often") and 하다. Most of the time because of that 잘하다 gets used.

    Wow such a good video really!! I always thought it just means "well", but that video cleared up some other phrases I heard, where it was used, and now it makes so much more sense. Thank you so much for your videos!!

    The only one I can think of that you didn’t mention was “시험 잘 봤어?” or “시험 잘 봐” but it’s basically how you wish them a good result on their test

    TOPIK test excerpt:
    저는 집에 잘 왔어요.
    I come to the house often?
    I come to the house well? (No problems)
    I enjoy coming to the house?
    The context is a person is coming to a party at another person’s house.
    None of these in the video seem to match up perfectly in my mind. Confused.

      ~지 않아 is just a casual way of speaking (with close friends the same age as you or younger), while ~지 않습니다 is formal.
