[MANNAM Basic Korean Class] Learning Grammar pattern (1)

Grammar 1 -으세요 : sentence ending for the honorific form- present
⦁'-으세요‘ is used with verbs and adjectives. If the verb/adjective stem ends in a consonant, '-으세요’ is added, If the verb/adjective stem ends in a vowel, '-세요‘ is added.
[동사verb] 읽다(to read) : 읽 -으세요 → 읽으세요
가다(to go) : 가 - 세요 → 가세요
[형용사adjective] 친절하다(to be kind) : 친절하 -세요 → 친절하세요
e.g. ① 선생님이 여섯 시에 집에 가세요. (The teacher goes home at 6 o'clock).
② 우리 어머니가 책을 읽으세요. (My mother is reading a book).
③ 우리 아버지가 정말 친절하세요. (My father is really kind).
'-으세요‘ is also used to make a polite question.
e.g. 마이클 씨, 지금 학교에 가세요? (Michael, are you going to school now?)
마이클 씨 어머니가 선생님이세요? (Is Michael's mother a teacher?)
 
Some verbs have special honorific forms.
Irregular Verbs/adjectives

1. 'ㄷ‘ irregular verbs
with verbs that end in the consonant 'ㄷ‘, the 'ㄷ’ of the stem is changed to ‘f' and then '-으세요’ is added.
듣다: 듣  -으세요  → 들으세요
e.g. 우리 어머니가 음악을 들으세요. (My mother is listening to music).
2. 'ㅂ‘ irregular adjectives
with adjectives that end in the consonant 'ㅂ‘, the 'ㅂ’ of the stem is changed to '우‘ and then '-으세요’ is added.
춥다: 춥 -으세요 → 추우 -세요  →  추우세요.
3. ‘ㄹ’ irregular verbs
with verbs that end in the consonant 'ㄹ‘, the 'ㄹ’ of the stem is dropped and then ' -으세요‘ is added. The conjugated honorific forms of 살다(to live) and 사다(to buy) are spelled the same way. You can tell which word it is from context.
살다: 살 -으세요  → 사 -세요  → 사세요
e.g. 선생님은 서울에서 사세요. (The teacher lives in Seoul.)
     선생님은 커피를 사세요. (The teacher buys coffee.)
⦁The honorific '계세요‘is used only when the subject(of the sentence) is a person, and when the verb '있어요’ has the meaning of location or existence of the person.
e.g. ① 우리 할머니가 방에 계세요. (My grandmother is in the room).
                ↳ The subject is a person.
⦁When the subject is a thing (not a person) and the verb '있어요‘ has the meaning of possession, '있으세요/없으세요’ is used to express respect for the possessors of the thing.
e.g. ① 오늘 오후에 시간이 있으세요? (Do you have time in the afternoon?)
                     ↳ The subject is a thing.
    ② 우리 할머니는 핸드폰이 없으세요. ( My grandmother doesn't have a cellphone).
                        ↳ The subject is a thing.
 
Note
When creating the honorific form, the subject marker can be changed from '이/가‘ to '-께서’ to make the statement even more polite.
어머니가 → 어머니께서
e.g. 우리 어머니께서 오후에 시장에 가세요. (My mother goes to market in the afternoon).

[MIYC] International Youth Walk for World Peace & Restoration in seoul, May 25th 2013

International Youth Walk for World Peace & Restoration in seoul, May 25th 2013.

I hope all the people no exception all desire world peace. On May 25th in Seoul thousands of people attended the world peace walk really desiring peace. Also our Busan Mannam volunteer association, more than 100 people attended the event. Departing at 4:00AM we arrived at Seoul near 10:00. We had a chance to look around the most famous place 경복 palace, experiencing many amazing things such as how the people lived and what kind of sports they enjoyed comparing today. After the tour to 경복 palace we had lunch together having korean traditional food. All of us personally had korean traditional 10 coins and we bought the food with the coins. Everyone enjoyed and loved the korean food and it was a good time to us feeling up our energy and to prepare for the big world peace walk event.



 
Finally, it was time for the World Peace Walk. All of the people being excited to prepare for the walk, all of us were waiting for the peace speech. Many people really desired and waited for world peace, but no one could really achieve it. However by this world peace walk, we are 100% sure it is able to achieve it. Because the peace honor chairman Man Hee Lee has the ingredients to achieve peace. His wish is to achieve peace by helping MIYC mentioning all the world people.
 
 
 
 
All of the people respond, hearing the speech was impressed in our mind. And after the speech we had a 1.5KM peace walk seeing many performances showing each countries culture dance desiring all of us can be one. Though it was really hot and a hard time to endure the whole event, it was really a meaningful time to all of us. Coming back to Busan, many people said we couldn't forget this event and hope world peace comes as soon as possible. I hope all the people knows and realize world peace is possible and hope it will come soon.
