Knowing How to Do Something"},"content":{"rendered":"

To state that you can do something or have the potential to so something, use the ~(\uc73c<\/strong>) \u3139 \uc218 \uc788\ub2e4<\/strong> construction :<\/p>\n

\uc9d1\uc744 \uc9c0\uc744 \uc218 \uc788\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> = I can build a house<\/p>\n

(\uc9d1<\/strong> = house. \uc744<\/strong> = object marking particle. \uc9c0\uc744 \uc218 \uc788\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> = can build) (\uc9d3\ub2e4<\/strong> = to build)<\/p>\n

Compare the above sentence with this sentence :<\/p>\n

\uc9d1\uc744 \uc9c0\uc744 \uc904 \uc54c\uc544\uc694<\/strong> = I know how to build a house<\/p>\n

(\uc9d1<\/strong> = house. \uc744<\/strong> = object marking particle. \uc9c0\uc744 \uc904 \uc54c\uc544\uc694<\/strong> = know how to build)<\/p>\n

With the second sentence, it’s not the potential to do something that is being expressed, but whether one has the knowledge to do something that is being expressed. This construction will be ~(\uc73c<\/strong>)\u3139 \uc904 \uc54c\ub2e4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To express that you can’t do something, use the construction ~(\uc73c<\/strong>)\u3139 \uc218 \uc5c6\ub2e4<\/strong> :<\/p>\n

\uc790\uc804\uac70\ub97c \ud0c8 \uc218 \uc5c6\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> = I can’t ride a bike<\/p>\n

(\uc790\uc804\uac70<\/strong> = bicycle. \ub97c<\/strong> = object marking particle. \ud0c8 \uc218 \uc5c6\uc5b4\uc694<\/strong> = can’t ride) (\ud0c0\ub2e4<\/strong> = to ride)<\/p>\n

Compare it with this sentence :<\/p>\n

\uc790\uc804\uac70\ub97c \ud0c8 \uc904 \ubab0\ub77c\uc694<\/strong> = I don’t know how to ride a bike.<\/p>\n

(\uc790\uc804\uac70<\/strong> = bicycle. \ub97c<\/strong> = object marking particle. \ud0c8 \uc904 \ubab0\ub77c\uc694<\/strong> = don’t know how to ride)<\/p>\n

So to express not knowing how to do something, use the construction ~(\uc73c<\/strong>)\u3139 \uc904 \ubaa8\ub974\ub2e4<\/strong><\/p>\n
