Introduction

In the previous lesson, you learned how to ask and command in Korean using the imperative mood. In this lesson, you will learn how to use the verb 주다 for the same purpose. You will also learn how the ~아/어 주다 construction works in cases where something is being done just for you. Well, let's get started.

주다 = to give

주다 means to give, to give. You already know perfectly well how this word is used to say that some thing was given or donated. For example:

저는 저의 친구에게 돈을 줬어요 = I gave my friend money phrase, taking the imperative affix from the previous lesson. For example, if you want to be given a book, you can say any of these phrases:

그 책을 (나에게) 줘 = Give me this book

more examples:

맥주 병 을 주세요 주세요 = give one bottle of beer, please
저 을 주세요 주세요 = give that spoon, please
밥 을 주세요 주세요 = give more rice, please (literally: a lot of rice)
왼손 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 만 = Please give me your left hand
6월 말에 돈을 주세요 = Give me money at the end of June

There are 9 in each of the examples above0541 object , which, in fact, they give. However, 주다 can also be used to say that something is being done for someone. Let's talk about this way of using it.

Verb root + ~아/어 주다

Adding ~아/어 주다 to the verb root gives the meaning that the action this verb means is done for someone; some kind of service is implied. For example:

그 선생님은 한국어를 저에게 가르쳤어요 = This teacher taught me Korean
그 선생님은 한국어를 저에게 가르쳐 줬어요 = This teacher taught me Korean just for someone.

A few more examples:

Note that ~(으)시 can be added to ~아/어 주다 if the person doing the action is treated with respect.

엄마가 과자를 내 손바닥에 놓아 주었어
= Mom put candy in my hands

내년 초 에 오빠가 을 보내 줄 예요 예요 예요
= my brother will send me the money at the beginning of the next year

동료 그 일 을 에게 설명 해 요 요
= colleague explained this work

할머니 오늘 멀리 에서 와 요 요 요 요 요 요 요 요 요 주셨어 주셨어 주셨어 주셨어 주셨어 주셨어
= today, Grandmother

경찰관 은 있는 미친 사람 과 상대해 요 요 요
= Police settled the situation with a crazy

제 사람 이 회사 저 를 주고 이 요 요
= Nobody wants dealing with me in this company because I am a foreigner0007 = The teacher opened the nursery for us briefly in the evening

In the previous lesson, you learned how to form imperative sentences using various affixes and grammatical constructions. If you want someone to do something for you, you can first add ~아/어 주다 to the root of the verb, and then add an imperative affix or construction to this 주다.

Look at the difference between these two sentences:

빨리 오세요 = Come soon
빨리 와 주세요 = Come soon (to me)

Note that both of them have almost the same meaning. The first is just a request, while the second (due to the presence of 주다 in it) implies that the action that is asked to be done will be performed as if in favor of the speaker.

So ~아/어 주다 basically means something like “do __ for me”. Often we will translate it into Russian as a request for “please”. For example:

점심을 요리해 주세요! = Please cook dinner
이것 을 만들어 주세요 주세요 = please, do this thing

Two examples above mean practically the same as the next two examples, but still have a slightly different meaning:

점심 요리 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 하세요 이것 만드세요 만드세요 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 을 = Do this thing

The only difference is that when 주다 is used, the meaning of a request, a service, appears. When 주다 is not in a sentence, it is more perceived as just a command that the person just has to do something. If there is 주다, then this indicates that the person must do something specifically for the speaker.

A few more examples:

그 을 제자리 에 둬 주세요 주세요 주세요 = please put this book in its place
볼 에 로션 을 발라 주세요 주세요 = apply this lotion on my cheeks, please
이것 이마 에 붙여 주세요 = glue it This is on the forehead, please
음성 메시지 남겨 주세요 주세요 주세요 = please leave the voice message
우리 아이 이 유치원 에 받아 주세요 주세요 주세요 = please accept our child in kindergarten
발목 아파서 잠깐 봐 주세요 주세요 = I have an ankle, I have a pain, please see
이 양말을 오른발에 신겨 주세요 = Please put this sock on my right foot
정답을 모르는 사람은 오른손을 올려 주세요 = If you don't know the correct answer, please raise your right hand something is seen or seen. Quite often, it is used in combination with ~아/어 주다, that is, ~아/어 주다 is added to 보이다 - and the result is a word whose meaning is a request that someone be shown something. Both forms are allowed: 보여주다 and 보여 주다 (combined and separate). For example:

얼굴을 보여주세요 = Please show your face
발가락 을 보여 주세요 주세요 주세요 = show your fingers on your feet, please
해외 무역 건물 이 있는지 보여 주세요 주세요 주세요 = show, please where the foreign trade building is

In Korean speech, you can often meet in Korean speech quite an interesting word is 좀. In some cases, it is simply a shortened version of the word "조금". That is, it can replace 조금 in sentences, most commonly in spoken or printed dialogue. For example:

날씨가 좀 추워졌어요 = The weather got a little cooler
저는 좀 더 올라갈 거예요 = I will rise a little higher
이마가 좀 아파요 = My forehead hurts a little
제가 산 주식은 좀 비쌌어요 = The stock I bought is a bit expensive

You can also see 좀 in imperative sentences. When you ask to do something for yourself, 좀 makes the request a little softer. It is quite difficult to translate it, here, rather, intonation is simply added. Examples:

밥 을 많이 주세요 주세요 주세요 = give more rice, please
이것 을 만들어 주세요 주세요 = please, make me this thing
그 책 을 에 좀 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 주세요 =0003

There are other ways to ask to do something in Korean, and they do not involve building forms of the imperative mood. For example, you might say, "Can you do this for me?" – and the word 좀 may also appear in such sentences. But we'll leave this topic for now and return to it in Lesson 45.

주다 with the negative imperative

As you already know from the previous lesson, you can tell the person not do something with ~지 말다 by adding it to the root of the verb. You can also put ~아/어 주다 after ~지 말다 to get the same meaning. That is, in this case you are asking for something
저를 감옥에 넣지 말아 주세요! = Please don't put me in jail!
자기의 뿌리를 잊지 말아 주세요 = Don't forget your roots

Thank you for..

Here's something to put together. To say “thank you for something”, we need grammar principles from the current lesson, the previous lesson, and Lesson 37.

If you want to say “Thank you for listening”, you need several grammar principles at once.

First, the verb itself: 들어보다 (listen)

We put ~아/어 주다 to 들어보다, we get: 들어봐 주다, this phrase can be taken in different cases:

그 는 제 을 들어봐 줬어 요 요 = he listened to me
제 말 들어봐 주세요 주세요 주세요 = listen to me, please

If we put to 들어봐 주다 주다 affix ~ 아/어서 (because), we will get:

들어 봐 줘서… – which means something like “because they listened.

Finally, putting "감사하다" (thank you) after ~아/어서 gives us:

들어봐 줘서 감사합니다 = Because we listened, thank you (thanks for listening again)

900 Let's try it again.

1) Take the verb: 요리하다 (cook food)
2) Add ~아/어 주다: 요리해 주다
3) Adding ~아/어서: 요리해 줘서
4) Adding 감사하다 = 요리해 줘서 감사합니다 = Thank you for cooking

It seems quite complicated, because there are so many different grammar principles in one sentence. A few more examples will help to put it all in the head:

열심히 공부 줘서 감사 합니다 합니다 = thank you for zealously
이것 을 가르쳐 줘서 감사 합니다 = thank you for teaching me this
문 열어 줘서 감사 합니다 = thank you for opening the door to me

And a little more complicated: quite often ~아/어 주다 also has ~(으)시 (usually this happens when you thank with a high degree of politeness). For example:

이것 을 가르쳐 주셔서 합니다 합니다 = thank you that they taught me this
(가르치다 + ~ 아/어 주다 + ~ (으) 시 + ~ 아/어서 + 감사 합니다 합니다 합니다 합니다 합니다 합니다 합니다)

Why We were waiting for lesson 41, we were waiting for lesson, to teach you this. There was hardly any other way to capture everything that we have given in this lesson at an earlier stage. It took me quite a bit to show you grammatical constructions like 아/어서 and ~(으)시 easily enough, and now we're just putting them together in one sentence together with on top of everything we've learned in this lesson.

It's not easy, but we hope you get it right.

Now that you're done with Lesson 41, it's time to test yourself with a mini quiz that will show you how well you've learned from the last 8 lessons.

Do you want to review some material before the test? You can always go back to the last eight lessons!

Psychologist's blog: is it worth helping?

A story about a fishing rod and a fish, or whether and how to help people correctly.

  • Psychologist's blog: what is needed for happiness?
  • Psychologist's blog: how to get rid of the victim complex?

Poor not because - stupid

From childhood we are taught that we must help the elders, the younger, the weak, those who are less fortunate in life than you.

This is one of the main principles of our social ethics. At the same time, we often hear that giving fish to a hungry person is a disservice. As Confucius said: "If you want to help a person, give him not a fish, but a fishing rod."

They say that what is easily obtained, people do not appreciate, therefore they waste it lightly. Those who regularly receive subsidies quickly get used to them. And instead of looking for a job or studying, they come for a new portion of free money again and again. Become dependent on them.

And there is a lot of moralizing, superiority and snobbery in this judgment, which is said to have been invented by European bourgeois back in the 18th century. What was inherent in that era of the new redistribution of capital.

Recently, scientists have been conducting a number of studies in developing countries. And according to their results, they found that, for example, in African countries, people, having received grants, spent them overwhelmingly not on vodka or drugs, but on clothes and educating children.

It was also established that they are not poor because they are lazy or stupid. And because of hereditary poverty: parents could not pay for education, I had to go to work early in a low-paid job. And because of the lack of social elevators. Therefore, the Puritan fairy tale about a fishing rod and a fish is irrelevant and unethical.

But if we consider this problem not on a planetary scale, but, say, within the framework of some separate team or circle of friends, we notice that there are always people who are fatally unlucky. Their pipes are permanently broken, their heels are broken, they are abandoned by their loved ones, their dubious friends are "bred" for money, their relatives do not understand, and their bosses do not appreciate them. And there are those who are most often asked for help. And not because they are rich or they have enough free time. They just know that they will not refuse.

The reasons for this reliability are different. One elderly woman who visited her sick friends in hospitals all the time, bought them medicines and food, although she herself was very limited in funds, admitted that in this way she felt needed. After all, her only son and his family live far away, they see each other once a year. And she wants to help someone.

Interestingly, when other people tried to thank her, she flatly refused, returned sweets and money. And for some services offered money. So, helping herself, the woman did it not only out of pure empathy and a desire to share. In addition, she felt more powerful and significant than her frail friends. Sympathizing with them, she felt superior and even despised them a little. Therefore, she herself so resolutely and even angrily refused help, not wanting to be in their unacceptable place for her - weak and helpless.

Someone rushes to help, because in this way he earns love and affection for himself. And someone - because this role, given the mild nature, was once imposed on him, and now it is already inconvenient to refuse. Only diplomats don't say "No" , from an excess of goodness in themselves, from those who thus assert themselves, increases their own self-esteem at the expense of the weakness of others. To whom, at such moments, one relates, as one writer said, with "squeamish pity."

That is, such a person does not feel like a hackneyed horse, because he always needs to run somewhere, solve someone's problems. He is not afraid that he will be offended when, instead of taking someone to the airport, he offers to pay for a taxi. And not because there is no time. But simply because he does not want to, because that evening he was going to watch the series.

By the way, a sign of complete mental health is that he will also honestly say that he does not want or laziness, not caring that he will be considered callous and selfish.

Or instead of spending half a day fixing someone's broken faucet, just call a plumber. And he admits that he does not understand anything about it. True, after such a glory of this man as an omnipotent crisis manager may fade. But a healthy person without an inferiority complex does not need it.

Respect out of gratitude or love out of compassion?

But, you say, there are people who have a natural need to give, to share - over the edge. Without any benefit. I agree, but such generous souls should remember that sincere friendship with those they help is not worth counting on.

Friendship presupposes a certain parity in relations. When there is an imbalance in a relationship, because one is only giving and the other is only receiving, it becomes a parent-child relationship or an older, stronger relationship with a younger, weaker one.

By the way, gratitude and the need to show gratitude is one of the most difficult duties. That is why, if you are someone who constantly does good deeds, you probably noticed that those to whom you do them somehow shamefully avoid you. Respect aloof. Respected but not loved.

So if you want real sincere affection, don't attack people with your help. Give them the opportunity to thank you equally.

If you are the kind of person who thinks you owe everything, remember that you will never be seen as a serious, independent player until you become one.
