Video Description

Stop sounding like a walking textbook! 🤖 If someone offers you a biscuit, do you just say "No"? Or do you say, "No thanks, I'm actually on a diet"? In this video, we are fixing your "flat" Korean. I’ll teach you the two most common sentence endings that native speakers use to add flavour to their conversations: -잖아요 and -거든요. By the end of this lesson, you’ll know exactly how to agree with friends ("You know!") and how to explain yourself softly ("Actually...").

Nuance: "Come on, we both know this!" or "I told you so." Example: "오늘 춥잖아." (It's freezing today, as you can feel!) 2. -거든요 (Actually / FYI) Use when the listener DOES NOT know the fact. Nuance: "Just letting you know" or providing a reason. Example: "저 다음 달에 한국 가거든요." (Actually, I'm going to Korea next month.) 👋 About Korean Cheat Code Hi, I'm Lily!
