Lesson 10 - Asking and talking about the destination

Asking someone where they are going:

Go = 가요 (ga yo)
Yes = 네 (ne)
No =  아니오 (a ni o)
Then = 그럼 (geu reom)
Where = 어디 (eo di)

*The particle 에 is used after the name of a place. 에 indicates destination or goal.



Common places
House/Home = 집 (jib)
School = 학교 (hak gyo)
Workplace = 직장 (jik jang)
City = 시내/시티 (si nae/si ti)
Cinema/theater = 극장/영화관 (geuk jang/ yeong hwa gwan)
Restaurant = 식당 (sik dang)
Supermarket = 슈퍼마켓 (syu peo ma ket)
Karaoke = 노래방 (no rae bang)
Toilet = 화장실 (hwa jang sil)
Library = 도서관 (do seo gwan)

*When 안 is used with a action verb, it indicates no or your unwillingness to do the action

eg. 학교에 가요       I am not going to school
      직장 가요       I am not going to work
       가요          I am not going home

Lesson 8 - Basic Introduction

So in this lesson, I'm just going to write down the some of the basic sentences you can use to introduce yourself. 

This first example is in 'Polite' form, to use to someone where you meet them for the first time or if they're older than you.





The next example is in less polite form, so only use it if you are 100000% sure that the person you are talking to is younger than you OR if you're the same age and the korean person have allowed you to speak in casual form with them.
