There are a couple of ways to conjoin nouns and sentences in Korean.<\/p>\n
One of the ways you can conjoin nouns is to use \uacfc<\/strong> or \uc640<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \ubb3c\uacfc \ubc25\ub9cc \ud544\uc694\ud574\uc694<\/strong> = I only need water and rice.<\/p>\n (\ubb3c<\/strong> = water. \uacfc<\/strong> = and. \ubc25<\/strong> = rice. \ub9cc<\/strong> = only. \ud544\uc694\ud574\uc694<\/strong> = need)<\/p>\n In the sentence above, \uacfc<\/strong> was used because \ubb3c<\/strong> ends in a consonant.<\/p>\n \ucf00\uc774\ud06c\uc640 \ucee4\ud53c\ub97c \uc0c0\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> = I bought cake and coffee.<\/p>\n (\ucf00\uc774\ud06c<\/strong> = cake. \uc640<\/strong> = and. \ucee4\ud53c<\/strong> = coffee. \ub97c<\/strong> = object marking particle. \uc0c0\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> = bought.)<\/p>\n Here, \uc640<\/strong> was used as “and” because \ucf38\uc774\ud06c<\/strong> ends in a vowel.<\/p>\n Another way to conjoin nouns is to use \ud558\uace0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \ub0a8\ub3d9\uc0dd\ud558\uace0 \uc5ec\ub3d9\uc0dd\uc774 \uc788\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> = I have a younger brother and a younger sister.<\/p>\n (\ub0a8\ub3d9\uc0dd<\/strong> = younger brother. \ud558\uace0<\/strong> = and. \uc5ec\ub3d9\uc0dd<\/strong> = younger sister. \uc774<\/strong> = subject marking particle. \uc788\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> = have)<\/p>\n However, \ud558\uace0<\/strong> is used in informal situations. Unlike \uacfc<\/strong> and \uc640<\/strong> it doesn’t matter as to whether \ud558\uace0<\/strong> follows a consonant or a vowel.<\/p>\n To conjoin sentences, use \uadf8\ub9ac\uace0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \ub3d9\uc218\ub294 \ubbf8\uad6d\uc5d0 \uc0b4\uc558\uc5b4\uc694. \uadf8\ub9ac\uace0 \ub3d9\uc218 \uc5ec\uc790 \uce5c\uad6c\ub3c4 \ubbf8\uad6d\uc5d0 \uc0b4\uc558\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Dong Su lived in the U.S. and Dong Su’s girlfriend lived in the U.S. as well.<\/p>\n (\ub3d9\uc218<\/strong> = Dong Su. \ub294<\/strong> = topic marking particle.\u00a0\ubbf8\uad6d<\/strong> = U.S. \uc5d0<\/strong> = locative particle. \uc0b4\uc558\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> = lived.<\/p>\n \uadf8\ub9ac\uace0<\/strong> = and. \u00a0\ub3d9\uc218<\/strong> = Dong Su. \uc5ec\uc790 \uce5c\uad6c<\/strong> = girlfriend. \ub3c4<\/strong> = as well.\u00a0\ubbf8\uad6d<\/strong> = U.S. \uc5d0<\/strong> = locative particle. \uc0b4\uc558\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> = lived)<\/p>\n \uadf8\ub9ac\uace0<\/strong> can only be used to put sentences together, not nouns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are a couple of ways to conjoin nouns and sentences in Korean.
