Grammar Points

ė„¤ķ•˜:

오늘 ķ•œźµ­ģ— 온 ģ§€ ģ¼ė…„ ėģ–“ģš”.

Neha:

Today, it’s been one year since I came to Korea.

V~ģ€/ć„“ ģ§€ This grammar point is attached to a verb stem and expresses ā€œit has been (some amount of time) since that activity took place.ā€ If the verb stem ends in a vowel, add ā€œ~ć„“ ģ§€,ā€ and if it ends in a consonant (patchim), add ā€œ~ģ€ ģ§€.ā€

정민:

ģš°ģ™€! ė²ŒģØ 1ė…„? ģ‹œź°„ģ“ ģ°ø 빠넓네. Jeongmin: Wow! It’s one year already? Time flies so fast. ė„¤ķ•˜:

ė§žģ•„ģš”. ģ €ė„ ėÆæģ„ 수 ģ—†ģ–“ģš”.

Neha:

Right. I can’t believe it either.

정민:

ģ“ģ œ ķ•œźµ­ ģŒģ‹ģ“ ģž…ģ— 좀 ė§žģ•„ģš”? Jeongmin: So, does Korean food suit your taste now? ė„¤ķ•˜:

Neha:

Yeah. When I first came, it was a little difficult because the food didn't suit my taste.

ė‹¤ķ–‰ģ“ė„¤ģš”. ė„¤ķ•˜ 씨가 ķ•œźµ­ ģƒķ™œģ— ė§Žģ“ ģµģˆ™ķ•“ģ øģ„œ 볓기 ģ¢‹ģ•„ģš”.

Jeongmin: That’s good to hear. It’s good that you’ve got used to life in Korea. ė„¤ķ•˜:

Neha:

Ex: 고등학교넼 ģ”øģ—…ķ•œ ģ§€ 3ė…„ ėģ–“ģš”. It’s been 3 years since I graduated from high school. ķ•œźµ­ģ„ ė– ė‚œ ģ§€ 4ź°œģ›” ėģ–“ģš”. It’s been 4 months since I left Korea.

ģž…ģ— ė§žė‹¤ This isn’t a grammar point but rather a commonly used Korean language idiom that means ā€œto suit one’s taste.ā€ It’s frequently used with foods suiting someone’s taste but can also be used to express work one likes. Ex: ģ €ėŠ” 매욓 ģŒģ‹ģ“ ģž…ģ— ė§žģ•„ģš”. I like spicy food. (Spicy food suites my taste.) ķšŒģ‚¬ ģ¼ģ“ ģž…ģ— ė§žģ•„ģš”?
