How to say 'tend to or seem like' in Korean

← previous   |  next → In Korean, the expressions "tend to" or "seem like" can be conveyed using words like "~ㄴ/는 듯하다" (~n/neun deuthada) or "~ㄴ/는 것 같다" (~n/neun geot gatda).  For example, to express "He tends to be shy," we can say "그녀는 부끄러워하는 듯해요" (geunyeoneun bukkeureowohaneun deuthaeyo) or "그녀는 부끄러워하는 것 같아요" (geunyeoneun bukkeureowohaneun geot gataeyo). Previously we learned how to use conjunction in a sentence by placing 같다 after the hyphen 와 / 과 or 랑 / 이랑. As an example:  >> 저 식당 은 이 식당 과 같아요      (The restaurant is the same as this one) If you didn't learn about Korean conjunction "and", you can learn 와/과 or 랑/이랑 Here .   In this lesson, the main focus lies at the end of the sentence. The suffix actually consists of '~ 는 것' in the future tense (~ ㄹ 것) followed by 이다 so it changes to (~ㄹ 것 + 이다). If we remove '이다' then only ~ㄹ 것 at the end of the sentence remains. Consider th...

How to Say "because of" in Korean.

← previous   | next → The concept of "Because" or "Therefore" in Korean finds its expression through the term "왜냐하면" (waenyahamyeon). This linguistic construct is frequently employed to introduce the rationale or causality behind a specific circumstance or action.  To illustrate its application, let's explore a practical example: > 비가 왔어요 왜냐하면 집에 있었어요    (I stayed home because it was raining) In this example, "왜냐하면" is used to explain the reason for staying at home, which is "because it was raining." Bear in mind that the structure of Korean sentences can deviate from English, leading to potential changes in word order. However, it's noteworthy that "왜냐하면" is rarely utilized in the same grammatical context as "because" in Korean.
