Lesson 88 (Intermediate 3 Lesson 3)
August 14, 2021•1,005 words
We finished up Chapter 9 (and the 2A book), and started on Chapter 10.
Culture Note
This was about the special phone numbers in Korea.
- 120 is the one you call in Seoul when you want to know what are the other numbers to call
- 119 is for the fire department/ambulance
- 112 is for the police
- 114 is to find out the phone number of a particular business/shop
- 131 is for the weather
- 1330 is a travel hotline, and is what the short write-up covers
Pronunciation
We went through this very quickly, probably because it is nothing new.
When the final consonant sound [ㄷ] is followed by ‘ㄴ, ㅁ’, [ㄷ] is pronounced as [ㄴ].
Examples:
- 듣는 [든는]
- 옛날 [연날]
- 못 만나요 [몬만나요]
Related rules were covered in:
- Lesson 31 (SNU 1A, Chapter 7)
- When the final consonant sound [ㅂ] is followed by a syllable that begins with ‘ㄴ, ㅁ’, then [ㅂ] is prounounced as [ㅁ].
- Lesson 47 (SNU 1B, Chapter 12)
- One of the pronunciation rules for 못: 못[몯] + ㄴ,ㅁ → [몬] + [ㄴ],[ㅁ].
- Lesson 58 (SNU 1B, Chapter 15)
- When the final consonant sounds [ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ] are followed by ‘ㄴ’ , they are pronounced as [ㅇ, ㄴ, ㅁ].
- Lesson 65 (SNU 2A, Chapter 1)
- When the final consonant sound [ㅂ] is followed by the initial consonants ‘ㄴ, ㅁ’, then [ㅂ] is prounounced as [ㅁ].
- Lesson 81 (SNU 2A, Chapter 8)
- When the final consonant sound [ㄱ] is followed by the initial consonants ‘ㄴ, ㅁ’, then [ㄱ] is prounounced as [ㅇ].
Overview of SNU 2B
As per tradition, we also did an overview of the chapters in the 2B book before going into the grammar in the handout.
- 10 – food, 반말 (casual speech)
- 11 – symptoms
- 12 – appearance and personality
- 13 – house and home living
- 14 – etiquette and manners
- 15 – life events and how to talk about changes
- 16 – festivals
- 17 – accidents, colours, patterns
- 18 – emotions and seasons
Grammar
1. N 중에(서)
This is used to indicate a selection of one item among two or more.
N is (generally?) a category of item.
Examples:
- 저는 한국 음식 중에서 불고기를 가장 좋아해요.
- 운동 중에서 뭘 제일 잘해요?
- 가족 중에서 누가 제일 키가 커요?
Observation is that it is used with 가장 or 제일 to indicate the superlative.
If it is not a category, but a place (the teacher mentioned 장소), you would not use 중:
- 세계에서 에베레스트 산이 제일 높아요.
- 이 근처에서 이 식당이 제일 맛있어요.
As of now, I do not yet know:
- If N must always be a category.
- If it is possible to use this construction without 가장/제일.
