Learn Korean Ep. 96: Passive Verbs

This episode will cover several topics, including passive voice, active voice, passive verbs, and the grammar associated with using Korean passive voice. Although this is a complicated topic at first and will take time to master, the good news is that Korean doesn’t use passive voice too often, so you can learn it at your leisure and continue to use active voice until you’re ready.

Wow I never even learned this in my 12 years of schooling so I guess I’m learning things about English while learning things about korean 😂

이 비디오를 정말 감사합니다! I've been struggling with passive verbs, because they feel much different than passive verbs in English, but this gave me a better grasp on them. I now, for the first time, understand why my tutor uses 보이다 instead of 보다 to ask whether I can see her in a zoom call! It's because she isn't really asking if I, as a specific individual, can see her. She's really asking if her camera is working correctly and she is visible. When she uses 보이다, it makes the sentence not about me but about her visibility. *mind blown*

So I needed help with this on the Korean discord server, and here it is! I studied passive verbs in Swedish as it is my native language and understood the English use too! Thank you for the video!

'나무로 만든 책상'도 괜찮아요? 아니면 '만들어진'만 쓸 수 있어요? :)

[cjt]

Hi, can you please tell me what’s the difference between 이해하게 됐어요 and 이해됐어요 and how to know when to use them

[saisaipech]

Which suffixes form passive verbs? Which suffixes form causative verbs? Do their forms really overlap (example the 히 suffix can make one verb passive while another verb causative)?

[nemethniki]

Thank you for this video. I'd like to ask something about korean passive voice. I read in a book, that when the subject of the korean sentence is on a lower rank then a people (for example animals), it can't be said in active, reather it have to be said in passive sentence. For example I can't say "The dog bite Julia's leg", it should be said "Julia's leg was biten by the dog". What do you think? Is it true? Do you know any rule about it? Thank you!! :)

"키켓"이 어디 갔지? = Where did "KEYKAT" go?
이/가 = Subject Marker Particle: puts emphasis on the word before it: 키켓
키켓 is a subject

[greenseed]

I think passive verb is just adding 이 to the verbs?

[valerie-rhsm]

wait, but wasn't 에게 used to indicate something happened due to a person, and 에 to indicate it happened due to a non person?

[heeeun]

omg this is quite similar to malaysian
