Stop Memorizing Korean Endings — One Rule Controls All of Them | Almost Korean

追加: 2026-05-20

[00:00:00]Korean vowels have bright [music] and dark sides and they refuse to mix.

[00:00:06]Every Korean verb and adjective ends in ta, but you almost never use it that way.

[00:00:12]>> [music] >> In a real sentence, ta drops and the stem takes a different ending.

[00:00:17]Which ending?

[00:00:19]That depends on the last vowel in [music] the stem.

[00:00:22]A and O are bright vowels. Everything else is dark. [music] Bright and dark never mix. This is vowel harmony.

[00:00:32]Ayo and oyo are the polite [music] present endings.

[00:00:35]If the last vowel in the stem is bright, you use ayo.

[00:00:40]Anta [music] means to sit. The last vowel in the stem is a, so it becomes anjao.

[00:00:46]If the last vowel is dark, [music] you use oyo.

[00:00:50]Mokta means to eat. The last vowel is a, so it becomes [music] mogoyo.

[00:00:57]Ajuseyo and ojuseyo mean please do something [music] for me. Exact same rule.

[00:01:03]Anta becomes anjajuseyo. Please sit down.

[00:01:07]Mokta becomes [music] mogojuseyo. Please eat.

[00:01:11]Assayo and [music] ossayo are the polite past endings. Still the same rule.

[00:01:17]Anta becomes [music] anjasoyo. I sat.

[00:01:21]Mokta becomes mogosoyo. I ate.
