I created a Korean Nominalization CHEAT SHEET (~기, ~는 것, ~음/ㅁ) [7/8]
Added:So far I've created and released for free 18 cheat sheets for studying Korean. There are cheat sheets for the numbers, for the alphabet and sound change rules, verb conjugation, particles, colors, telling the time, numbers and counters, and a whole lot more. And to get them, just click on the link in the video description to join my Patreon page, select the free tier, and that's it. And while you're there, you can also get some other cool bonuses like my free Korean study notebook. Or if you're one of my paid Patreon members, you can download my cheat sheets in extra high quality PNG files to print out really big like on a poster. And you can get my personal vocabulary deck, podcast transcripts, live stream outlines and worksheets, exclusive Patreon-only posts, and a bunch more. Now, if you can support me on Patreon, even if it's just for a dollar, it really helps me to keep doing what I love doing, which is teaching Korean. Okay, so now onto the new cheat sheets. I've actually designed eight new cheat sheets and I'm releasing one at a time for free in eight separate videos.
So, this is the seventh one and there's still one more to go. Now, if you're one of my paid Patreon supporters, you can actually download all eight of these right now and you'll get both versions.
So, to those of you who can support me, thank you and enjoy. But even if you're not able to support me or you can't support me, all of my cheat sheets are still free. So, here's the one that I'm releasing today. This one is all about nominalization, which is a fancy word that means changing a verb into a noun.
It's most often used for changing something like yori hada, which means to cook, into a noun, so like cooking, or maybe the verb suyong hada, to swim, into like swimming. So, you can say something like I like cooking or swimming is fun. And there are actually three ways that a verb can become a noun and all of them work completely differently, but you don't have to memorize any more rules because I put everything on this one cheat sheet, starting with the form neun geot, which is the most common way of just changing a verb into a noun when you're describing it. Like if you wanted to say swimming is fun, you would use that form. And I've included all the rules and exceptions for making it as well as its different uses since it can be used for more than just making that -ing form of a verb. I also have a note at the bottom about how this form is used with quoting and I've seen a lot of learners get confused about that because it looks similar, but everything is explained here really simply, so I think you could probably just learn that form too in a few minutes. The next one is the form gi, which can also be used to make that -ing form, but it's more often used in grammar forms. And I've actually included many of the most common grammar forms that use this form. And finally, the last one is the form um, which is used to change a verb into a completely unique noun along with a list of some of the most common and useful nouns that were made using this form, which you can simply memorize. Now, each of these forms comes with a detailed explanation, so you'll know when to use them and of course all of them have plenty of example sentences. And that's it. Again, just click the link in the video description where you'll join my Patreon page, select the free tier or any of my paid tiers and download this cheat sheet along with all of my previous ones.
Thank you for watching and special thanks to all of my Patreon supporters as well as to my new Patreon supporters, and I'll see you again in the next video for another new cheat sheet.
