How do you say include or exclude in Korean?

← previous   |  next → In Korean, however, these two opposite words are very different; 포함 하다 which means including and 제외 하다 which means not including / except. In English, these two words are distinguished by "in" and "ex" at the beginning of the word to indicate that these two words have opposite meanings.  Include: 포함 하다 As with almost all verbs, "포함 하다" is usually placed at the end of the sentence. As an example: >> 이 책 은 최고의 책 을 포함 해요       (This book contains the best books) >> 이 예산 에는 우유 구매 가 포함 됩니다        (This budget includes the purchase of milk) Like the example above, we can change "포함 하다" to "포함 되다" for the passive form. A passive verb has the same meaning, but a passive sentence cannot contain an object (thus, it cannot contain the particle ~ 을 / 를). As an example: >> 가격 에는 우송료 가 포함 되어 있습니다        (Price includes postage) >> 이 인스턴트 식품 재료 에는 고추 가 포함 되어 있습니다     ...

Just looking like an easy lesson: 유일하다/유일하게 means

Image
← previous   |  next → In this lesson, we will learn about the word 유일 하다 which means "only". We previously learned that the particle ~ 만 also means "only", but the word "유일 하다" is not exactly the same. Let's get started! 유일 하다 (Only) First and foremost, the word "유일 하다" is an adjective meaning "one and only". Whereas the particle "~ 만" is added to a noun to indicate that there is only one thing: 1. 너만 = only you 2. 한번만 = only once 유일 하다 can be added to a sentence to mean "one and only". The tricky thing is that 유일 하다 is usually used when there is another descriptive word (usually a verb in the form of ~ 는 것) in the sentence. Look at the following examples: >> 리사 는 웃는 사람 이에요        (Lisa is a person who is crying) >> 저는 노래 하는 사람 이에요        (I am a singing person) We can also add adjectives to this sentence to describe the noun. This adjective is placed after the verb that describes: >> 저는 노래 하...
