Seol:

Seol:

KOREANCLAS S 101.COM BEGI NNER #4 - NAT I ONALI T I ES 6

Keith: This is, once again, the topic marking particle.

Seol:

Keith: Korea.

Seol:

Keith: Person.

Seol: .

Keith: Am. So if we put it all together, what we literally have is I Korea person am.
When translated, it means I am Korean. And with this, we can do this with any
country. We can just replace , which is Korea, with any country. And in my case, I
did . I American person am. I am American. If you notice the
difference between Seol and me, the only difference is the country. The country for
Seol was

Seol: .

Keith: , thats Korea. And for me, . The only thing that changes
here is the country. In Seols case, it was Korea person. In my case, its America
person. And we can do this with any country, once again. So how would you say I am
Canadian?

Seol: .

Keith: Notice once again, the sentence is exactly the same. The only difference is the
country is Canada. Okay, lets do a couple more examples. Chinese.

Seol: .

Keith: is the Korean word for China. Once again its China person, Im Chinese.
English.

Seol: .

Keith: is England, and once again, person English. Australian.

Seol: .

Keith: Australian person. Australian. Whats the one last one? New Zealand.

Seol: .

Keith: New Zealand person, a person from New Zealand. Now, this is why I love
Korean. This is so easy. You just have to know the country and you can just say
person after that and there you go, you go the nationality. Now if you wanted to ask
someone about their nationality, you can say

Seol: ?

Keith: This pretty much ask whats your nationality? Whats the first part we have?

Seol:

Keith: This means which or which one. After that?

Seol:

Keith: Country. Right after that we have

Seol:

Keith: Person. Up to here, we have which country person. And lastly, we have

Seol: ?

Keith: The interrogative form of the copula. Once again, we have which country person
are you? And we translate this as What nationality are you? So just to review, lets
get into this a little bit. Lets do a little role-playing. How about that?

Keith: ?

Seol: .

Keith: Are you sure? For real?

Seol: I think I am.

Keith: I dont think so.

Seol: Oh, really?
