It will also help you notice patterns in words, which will lead you to improve the rate at which you learn new Korean words and grammar points.

How To Say I’m Sleepy in Korean

졸려요

I’m sleepy

 

Basic form : 졸리다
반말(informal non-honorific) form : 졸려
Negative form with 해요 speech style : 안졸려

 

졸리다 is to be sleepy in Korean. Well… to be honest, I don’t have many things to teach about this word because it’s exactly same to English word ‘to be sleepy’. Lol. so easy today huh? Memorize it like ‘Joli is sleepy’.

You Should Know

졸리다 can be very weird with 합니다 speech style. Of course, you can use it with 합니다 speech style though. Using 피곤합니다(I’m tired) instead if you have to use 합니다. However, 합니다 speech style, 해요 speech style can be mixed.

How To Use

A: 졸려요. 자야겠어요
I’m sleepy. I should sleep
B: 그래요. 내일 봐요!
Ok, see you tomorrow!

 

A: 잠을 제대로 못자서 너무 졸려요
I’m so sleepy because I didn’t sleep well
B: 조금 쉬는게 어때요?
Why don’t you have a rest bit?

 

졸릴 때는 커피를 타서
Make coffee if you are sleepy
키보드에 쏟아보세요!
And spill it on your keyboard!
마법처럼 잠이 깹니다!
It wakes you up like magic

Sleep Comes

Native Koreans often say ‘잠(이) 오다’ to say ‘sleepy’. 잠 오다 literally means ‘Sleep is coming’. It’s really commonly used especially for casual conversation. It also can mean ‘be falling asleep’ too. Well… that makes sense because sleepy = falling asleep.

I’m sleepy

However, adding the construction ~아/어보다 (which we’ll cover in Lesson 32) changes the meaning to something like “try, try to hear”—that is, “listen,” which is an imperfective verb that describes a process that has not yet been completed. Examples:

선생님의 말을 잘 들어보 세요! = Listen carefully to what the teacher says!

그만하다 = to stop, to stop, to stop

Examples:
그 는 너무 빨라 요 = this car is very Fast
택시 버스 더 더 빨라 = taxi bus

느리다 = slim

Note: poorly. For a neutral meaning, you need to take "천천히". For example: 천천히 먹어 = eat slowly

Pronounced like "차카다".

Note: synonym is "친절하다".

한국 은 보통 아주 아주 착해 요 = Koreans usually very cute people

Declensions/Conjugations with Degrees of Politeness

In Lesson 5, you have already learned how to put verbs and adjectives into the past, present, and future tenses. You also learned that such forms of words are rarely used in colloquial speech, and most often they can be found in a book, article or personal diary. In this lesson, you will learn the basic rules of declensions and conjugations that are used in colloquial speech.

What are degrees of politeness?

Until now, you did not know anything about the degrees of politeness (at least, this was not given on our site). In Korean, you need to use different ways of conjugation and declension depending on who you are talking to. These different ways encapsulate your attitude towards the person you are talking to - how respectful you are towards him. Depending on the age of the interlocutor and / or the hierarchy in your relationship with him, you should speak differently.

We also have degrees of politeness in Russian, but in Korean everything is somewhat more complicated. For example, if someone asks you in Russian: “What did you (you) do yesterday?” - you can always answer: "Yesterday I went to school."

In Russian, the answer will sound exactly the same, regardless of whether you are talking to your girlfriend's grandfather or your best friend. In Korean, you are required to respond with a high degree of politeness if you are talking to someone who is older or superior to you - Korean grammar provides for different constructions for affirmative sentences as well. That is, the same “Yesterday I went to school”, depending on the degree of politeness, will sound differently. While you have just started learning the language, and some Koreans may forgive you for such mistakes, but consider the degree of politeness is required .

The author of these lessons, Will, tells a funny story from his life: “I started learning Korean a few months before moving to Korea. Not to say that I studied regularly and tried hard, which is why my Korean was so very, very basic. When I arrived in Seoul, I went straight from the airport to the school to personally introduce myself to the principal. The principal said, “I’m happy that you will work at my school,” to which I replied:

나도 (“me too,” said with the lowest degree of politeness)

Instead of looking impressed by my knowledge of a few words of Korean, his expression was as if someone had kidnapped his daughter.”

Never, never Never underestimate the importance of politeness in Korean.

Do not forget that all these forms with different degrees of politeness have exactly the same meaning. You will learn how to decline and conjugate using degrees of politeness in the following ways:

  1. Informal style, low degree of politeness.

This is how they talk to family, friends, close people, those who are younger than you.

  1. Informal style, high degree of politeness.

Can be used in most situations, this is such a peculiar way to show your respect for the interlocutor.

  1. Polite style, high degree of politeness

This is the most polite way, and you will use it when talking to people you respect a lot. It's hard to explain, but by and large the difference between high degrees of informal and polite styles is not so great. If you use one of these styles, you won't offend anyone.

The names of all these styles in different sources can be different, we chose these ones, as they are more descriptive. In addition to these three styles, you have already learned the "simple form" in the previous lesson.

Before you start! Remember the rule you learned in Lesson 5: if the last syllable of the root word has a vowel ㅏ or ㅗ, the first vowel of the affix will be 아, otherwise 어. If the last syllable of the root is 하, the affix starts with 하여, which can be shortened to 해.

You also learned in the last lesson that if the root of a word ends in a vowel itself, "~았/었다" is merged into that vowel when forming the past tense.

In this lesson we will learn about new affixes, two of which will start with ~아/어 and, accordingly, obey this rule. If the root ends in ~아/어, then they remain the same when merged. For example:

가다 + ~아/어 = 가 (가 + 아)
오다 + ~아/어 = 와 (오 + 아) /어 = 껴 (끼 + 어)
나서다 + ~아/어 = 나서 (나서 + 어)
켜다 + ~아/어 = 켜 (켜 + 어)
하다 + ~아/어 = 해 (하 + 여)

into a consonant, ~아/어 are simply added to the root. Examples:

먹다 + ~아/어 = 먹어 (먹 + 어)
앉다 + ~아/어 = 앉아 (앉 + 아)

어 (or other letters). Declension and conjugation is only one of them. Always keep this rule in mind, as it will come in handy in the following lessons.

Verbs
Present
tense

In Lesson 5, you learned that the affix ㄴ/는다 is added to the root of a word to form the present tense of a verb. To repeat:

먹다 = to eat (initial)
나는 먹는다 = I eat (present)

배우다 = to study (initial)
나는 배운다 = I study (present) 9003 = I study (present) 9003 verb:

1. Informal style, low degree of politeness

All you need is to add ~ 어/아/to the root of the word:

나 항상 저녁 음식 을 먹어 먹어 먹어 먹어 = I always eat food in the evenings (먹 + 어)

나 는 의 을 항상 봐 = I always see my teacher (보 + 아)

나는 항상 아침에 운동해 = I always do my exercises in the morning (운동하 + 여)

offer action. Since then, you have seen many examples with this function of it, but there has never been an example where this affix would indicate the moment in time when the action was performed. For now, we just want to remind you that, among other functions, the affix ~에 may also have this function.

Also note that in these examples, " 항상 " ("always") appears in different places in the sentence. Adverbs in Korean can appear anywhere in a sentence, just like in Russian. We will discuss this issue in detail in Lesson 8 .

2. Informal style, high degree of politeness

Formed in the same way as the low degree, except that "~요" is added at the end. Adding "~요" to something makes the sentence polite.

저 는 항상 저녁 음식 을 요 요 요 요 = I always eat in the evenings (먹 + 어 요 요)

저 는 의 선생님 항상 봐 요 요 = I always see my teacher (보 + 아요)

저 항상 아침 운동 해 요 = I = I always exercise in the morning (운동하 + 여요)

3. Polite style, high degree of politeness.

Formed in a manner similar to the formation of the declension/conjugation form we learned in the previous lesson (adding ~ㄴ/는다 to the root of the word). To form a high degree of polite style, add the affix ~ㅂ니다/습니다 to the root of the word. If the root ends in a vowel, ~ㅂ flows into the last syllable, followed by 니다. If it's a consonant, just add ~습니다 to the root.

저 는 항상 저녁 음식 을 먹습니다 먹습니다 = I always eat in the evenings (먹 + 습니다)

저 저 의 선생님 을 봅니다 봅니다 봅니다 = I always see my teacher (보 + ㅂ니다)

저 항상 아침 운동 합니다 합니다 합니다 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 운동 = I always exercise in the morning (운동하 + ㅂ니다)

Past tense

In Lesson 5, you learned how to put verbs in the past tense by adding 었다/였다 to the root word Repeat:

먹다 = to eat (initial form)
나는 먹었다 = I ate (past tense form)

배우다 = to learn (initial form)
나는 배웠다 = I studied (past tense form)

Three new past tense forms should not be difficult for you:

1. Informal style, low degree of politeness 9003 Instead of adding 었다/았다/였다 to the root, remove 다 from this affix 다 and attach 어 after 었/았/였:

나 는 먹었어 = I eat (먹 + 었어)
나 들어 봤어 = I listened (들어보 + + + 았어)
나는 운동했어 = I did the exercises (운동하 + 였어)

2. Informal style, high degree of politeness

, we simply add 요 to an affix of low -degree of the politeness of the informal style:

저 먹었어 요 요 = I ate (먹 + 었어 요 요)
저 들어봤어 요 = I listened (들어보 + 았어 았어)
저는 운동했어요 = I did the exercises (운동하 + 였어요)

3. Polite style, a high degree of politeness.

After adding 었/았/였 to the root, instead of 다 we attach 습니다:

저 는 먹었습니다 = I eat (먹 + 었습니다)

저 들어 봤습니다 = I listened (들어보 + 았습니다)
저는 운동했습니다 = I did the exercises (운동하 + 였습니다)

The future tense

In Lesson 5, you learned how to form the future tense with the affix 겠. To repeat:

먹다 = to eat (initial form)
나는 먹겠다 = I will eat (future tense form)

배우다 = to study (initial form) should no longer be difficult for you:

1. Informal style, low degree of politeness.

Instead of adding 겠다 to the root of the word, remove from the affix 다 and after 겠 put 어:

나 는 먹겠어 먹겠어 = I will eat (먹 + 겠어)
나 는 배우겠어 = I will study (배우 + 겠어)

2. Informal style, high degree of politeness

, we simply add 요 to the affix of the low degree of politeness of the informal style:

저 먹겠어 요 요 = I will eat (먹 + 겠어 요)
저 배우겠어 요 = I will study (배우 + 겠어 요)

3. Polite style, high degree of politeness

After 겠 instead table below. The same table also lists the method learned in Lesson 5, which is often referred to as the "low polite polite style", the "diary form" or the "plain form".

Past Real Future
Informal: low degree 먹었어 먹어 먹겠어
Informal: High 먹었어요 먹어요 먹겠어요
Simple shape 먹었다 먹겠다
Polite: high degree 먹습니다

자다 Past Real Future
Informal: low degree 자 ​​ 자겠어
Informal: High 잤어요 자요 자겠어요
Simple shape 잤다 잔다 자겠다

이해하다 Past Real Future
Informal: low degree 이해했어 이해해 이해하겠어
Informal: High 이해했어요 이해해요 이해하겠어요

Adjectives

Fortunately, forms of adjectives using degrees of politeness are formed according to the same rules as forms of verbs. The main difference is in the formation of a simple form, which we studied in Lesson 5. The rest of the forms are the same as for verbs:

비싸다 Past Real Future
Informal: low degree 비쌌어 비싸 비싸겠어
Informal: High 비쌌어요 비싸요
Simple shape 비쌌다 비싸다
Polite: high degree

길다 Past Real Future
Informal: low degree 길었어 길어 길겠어
Informal: High 길었어요 길어요 길겠어요
Simple shape 길었다 길다 길겠다
Polite: high degree 길었습니다 깁니다* 길겠습니다

*Exception. We'll look at exceptions in more detail in the next lesson.

착하다 Past Real Future
Informal: low degree 착했어 착해 착하겠어
Informal: High 착했어요 착해요 착하겠어요
Simple 착했다 착하다 착하겠다
Polite: high degree 착했습니다 착합니다 착하겠습니다

Enough for this lesson! You've already come a long way in learning Korean! There are a few exceptions that need to be explored before moving on, and that's what we'll cover in the next tutorial.

Everything is clear! I want to move on to the next lesson!
