Done!

I just finished my last final. Biology was supposed to be the hardest, but I finished in about half an hour and then waited around for a bit before turning it in. Another hour until I'm officially on summer vacation it's back to the good ol' mill and grind of Korean lessons.

I'm working on them a bit now, and reviewing. Most of it's coming back to me now, like how to make negative verbal statements like, "Don't do that," or "Don't buy too much."

Korean's set up in a really sensible way.

All verbs are roots like "Hae-da" "Pogu-da" "Bogo-da" "Ship-da" so they can easily be put into sentences. Adding yo makes them in a presence tense, so "Bogoshipoyo" combines the verb for "want" and "see" making the sentence, "I want to see you." Which is the equivalent to, "I miss you."

Now, on the other hand, went making it negative, you have to add "Ji" in place of the "da" and finish it with "Maseyo." So, the opposite of "bogoshipoyo" is "Bogoshipji maseyo." And then adding clarifying words like "Ajik" or "Chogum" makes it more specific and can clear things up to the other party.

Does Finnish work like this? I think it's a lot more extensive and complicated! kk

In other news, B1A4's new video is out and Shinwoo looks perfect. vuv ;; From what little I heard, the lyrics are a little heavy, so hopefully it won't get banned!

  1. Not really. there are six different basic verb types in Finnish. And negative statements like "Don't buy that" would use a whole different form of negation since it is an imperative command. Akh, also in settings you should change it so that every time I want to comment I have to enter in a spam blocker code.

  2. I can't change that, I don't think! I have to do it when commenting on Mrs. Laber's posts, and yours too!
