“it’s a sign of fluency to dream in a language, but we dream wide-awake and in silence, we think about our dreams in broken sentences”

Kapka Kassabova, from “The immigrant cycle,” All Roads Lead to the Sea (Auckland University Press, 1997)

Korean Interrogatives

This lesson is suitable for beginners! I tried my best to give the simplest version for everything. Some words have more usages, etc… but I felt these are most important for beginner learners.

누구 - Who

Conjugation: To emphasize “who” as the subject, you would use the subject marker 가. 가 is used instead of 이 since 누구 ends in a vowel. When adding 가 to 누구, it becomes 누가. Remember this is only for emphasis.

Examples:

  • 이거 누구예요? - Who is this?
  • 누가 전화했어요? - Who called?
  • 그 사람은 누구야? - Who is that person?

- What

Conjugation: Particles are not typically attached to 뭐.

Examples:

  • 뭐 먹었어요? - What did you eat?
  • 뭐 샀어요? - What did you buy?
  • 뭐 보고 싶어요? - What do you want to watch?

어디 - Where

Conjugation: Although not always necessary, location marking particles - and -에서 can be added to make the sentence more clear. The location marking particles are directly attached to the noun. -에 expresses a location where something is, or the direction you a going toward. For example, 집에 가요 - I’m going home.  -에서 expresses a location where an action is taking place. For example, 사무실에서 일해요 - I work at the office. These particles aren’t always attached to 어디, however I wanted to include them since the are helpful for responses, asking questions, etc…

Examples:

  • 지금 어디(에) 있어요? - Where are you now?
  • 어디 가고 싶어요? - Where do you want to go?
  • 어디 살아요? - Where do you live?

언제 - When

Conjugation: “Particles like -부터 and -까지, which are often used to indicate from/until when something happens can be attached to 언제 to indicate that it is unknown “from/until when” something happens.” For example, 언제부터 한국어를 공부했어요? - Since when have you been studying Korean? Note that these particles are not required and 언제 can be used alone.

Examples:

  • 언제 했어요? - When did you do it?
  • 언제 도착했어요? - When did you arrive?
  • 낮잠을 언제 잤어요? - When did you take a nap?

- Why

Conjugation: 왜 is an adverb and doesn’t always have a specific location in the sentence, however it is typically placed first.

Examples:

  • 왜 안 왔어요? - Why didn’t you come?
  • 왜 전화했어요? - Why did you call?
  • 한국어를 왜 공부하고 있어요? - Why are you studying Korean?

어떻게- How

Conjugation: 어떻게 is an adverb and does not have a specific location in the sentence. It can be used to asked questions in past, present or future tense.

Examples:

  • 어떻게 찾았어요? - How did you find it?
  • 한국어를 어떻게 배웠어요? - How did you learn Korean?
  • 그것을 어떻게 해요? - How do you do that?

얼마 - How much (usually for money)

Examples

  • 이거 얼마예요? - How much is this?
  • 얼마 냈어요? - How much did you pay?
  • 그거 임대료가 얼마예요? - How much does it rent for?

얼마나 - How (followed by adjective/adverb)

Examples

  • 얼마나 커요? - How big is it?
  • 얼마나 기다렸어요? - How long did you wait?
  • 한국어를 얼마나 자주 공부해요? - How often do you study Korean?

For the confusèd among you.

Old English (Anglo-Saxon): Eft he axode, hu ðære ðeode nama wære þe hi of comon. Him wæs geandwyrd, þæt hi Angle genemnode wæron. Þa cwæð he, "Rihtlice hi sind Angle gehatene, for ðan ðe hi engla wlite habbað, and swilcum gedafenað þæt hi on heofonum engla geferan beon."
Middle English: In þat lond ben trees þat beren wolle, as þogh it were of scheep; whereof men maken clothes, and all þing þat may ben made of wolle. In þat contree ben many ipotaynes, þat dwellen som tyme in the water, and somtyme on the lond: and þei ben half man and half hors, as I haue seyd before; and þei eten men, whan þei may take hem.
Early Modern English: But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou her maid art far more fair than she Be not her maid, since she is envious; Her vestal livery is but sick and green And none but fools do wear it; cast it off. It is my lady, O, it is my love!
Modern English: Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.
Pointless dribble: Omg, lol, def totes ridic, c u ltr

i sent this meme to my old ling professor and he made the single greatest joke in the universe that is completely inaccessible to most of the population and its killing me

i have no idea what this says but the fact that it’s apparently hilarious if you have the right linguistic context is delightful.
