I think that's right for something along the lines of "How have you been?"....right? ahehe ^^;;
I've been gone a long while and it looks like a lot's happened
The lessons you guys added -- I've skimmed through a couple and they look so incredibly helpful and there's even the practice questions! XD
Thanks so much for the work~ 8D (there's that phrase for that that just completely slipped my mind)
I'll be sure to get to it soon ^^
내일 한국어 시험이 있어요 (or would it be 있겠어요? I don't even know -__-;;) 그래서 지금 공부해요.
I might be coming back here often for quick references throughout the day/night....And if anyone's around, would I be able to ask for some help with any last minute questions? >////<;;;
Here're some things I wanted to ask for now:
- For these sentences, are both arrangements still right?
의자 위에 개가 있습니다.
개가 의자 위에 있습니다.
모자가 세 개 있어요.
모자 세 개가 있어요.
- Also, are these assumptions/understandings for verb forms right?
- the form ㅂ니다/습니다 is formal, mostly used only when written, the question form being ㅂ니까?/습니까?
-the ending (으)세요/하세요 is used only for questions and answered with the form 아요/어요/해요 (which can also be question form when voiced with the proper inflection)
-past form is 았/었/했
-(으)ㄹ까요? is used for taking an opinion/offering an idea and is answered with ㅂ시다/읍시다/합시다 but only if your including yourself and the person you are speaking to
-(으)십니다 is used when speaking to or about a 'higher' person (eg. 할아버지/할머니, 아버지/어머니, 선생님...) and with is goes the fact that the equivalent of 이/가 becomes 께서 and the equivalent of 은/는 becomes 께서는
-future always uses 겠
Aaaaaand, yea. That's just what I've got for now ><
Am I doing alright so far?
EDIT: A few more things....
This is the understanding that I now have that, at my level of Korean, has been working well for me so far. If someone/people could just read it over and let me know if it's alright. I know it's basic so you all know what the sentences are saying, but I added the English to show that that's what I was trying to get at and I hope I've done so >.<;)
--> 이/가 is used to mark the subject of a sentence, or the noun that's doing an action.

-->은/는 is used to place empahsis on the subject, for contrast and comparison, or to refer to a topic that's already been introduced
