π Grammar Focus
Let’s break down two key grammar patterns used by Minjun and Seoyeon to make their plans.
1. Making Suggestions: -(μΌ)γΉκΉμ?
When you want to make a suggestion or ask for someone’s opinion, you can add -(μΌ)γΉκΉμ? to a verb stem. It’s similar to saying “Shall we…?” or “Should I…?” in English.
- If the verb stem ends in a vowel or the consonant γΉ, you add
-γΉκΉμ?. - If the verb stem ends in a consonant (other than γΉ), you add
-μκΉμ?.
Notice how Minjun and Seoyeon use it throughout their conversation:
- λ°μ λκ°κΉμ? (Shall we go outside?)
λκ°λ€(to go out) stemλκ°-ends in a vowel, so add-γΉκΉμ?
- μ΄λμ κ°κΉμ? (Where shall we go?)
κ°λ€(to go) stemκ°-ends in a vowel, so add-γΉκΉμ?
- μνμ λκ° νμν κΉμ? (What will we need for the picnic?)
νμνλ€(to be necessary) stemνμν-ends in a vowel, so add-γΉκΉμ?
- λ¬΄μ¨ μμμ λ¨ΉμκΉμ? (What food should we eat?)
λ¨Ήλ€(to eat) stemλ¨Ή-ends in a consonant, so add-μκΉμ?
2. Expressing Possession: μμ΄μ / μμ΄μ
To say you have something or don’t have something, you use the verbs μλ€ (to exist, to have) and μλ€ (to not exist, to not have). The structure is simple: [Noun] + μ΄/κ° μμ΄μ (I have [Noun]) or [Noun] + μ΄/κ° μμ΄μ (I don’t have [Noun]). In conversation, the particle μ΄/κ° is often omitted.
Let’s see it in the dialogue:
- λ―Όμ€ μ¨, λμ리 μμ΄μ? (Minjun, do you have a mat?)
- μλμ, μ λ λμ리 μμ΄μ. (No, I don’t have a mat.)
- λ€, μ λ μμ λμ리 μμ΄μ. (Yes, I have a pretty mat.)
- μ λ ν° λ°κ΅¬λκ° μμ΄μ. (I have a big basket.)
This is a fundamental pattern for asking and answering questions about ownership.

π‘ Key Takeaways
Here are the most important points to remember from this lesson:
- To suggest an activity, add -(μΌ)γΉκΉμ? to a verb stem (e.g.,
κ°κΉμ?- Shall we go?,λ¨ΉμκΉμ?- Shall we eat?). - To say you have something, use μμ΄μ. To say you don’t have something, use μμ΄μ.
- Common picnic vocabulary includes μν (picnic), λμ리 (mat), λ°κ΅¬λ (basket), and κΉλ°₯ (kimbap).
- You can respond positively to a suggestion with μ’μμ! (Good!/Okay!) or μ’μ μκ°μ΄μμ! (That’s a good idea!).
