100 Essential Korean adjectives (noun modifier and descriptive form)

Korean adjectives are frequently used in daily conversation.
In Korean, they are used as both 'noun modifier' and 'descriptive verb'.

The basic form of all adjectives ends with '-다'.
It conjugates like verbs.
ex. 좋다 / 좋 is stem, 다 has to be deleted when conjugate.

1) Noun modifier
stem : final consonant X - use ㄴ
stem : final consonant O - use 은
-있다/없다 adjective - use 는
2) Descriptive verb
stem : vowel ㅗ orㅏ - use 아요
stem : vowel not ㅗ or ㅏ - use 어요
-하다 adjective -해요

Adjectives are very useful even for beginners, but unfortunately pronouncing correctly is not easy for beginners.
To pronounce like native, you need to know the pronunciation rules of final consonants and understand irregular forms of Korean adjectives.
That's why some irregular conjugated forms might seem to be not reasonable.

The videos of all pronunciation rules will be uploaded next week.
Also, videos explaining Korean major grammars will be uploaded soon.

Thank you for writing about how the word should be pronounced in hangeul. It is easier to understand than romanizing it.

At 15:05, it should be "to be exactly the same" (and the next one should be "to be the same"). Despite this minor error (you've omitted articles like "the" and "a" in some videos), this video was extremely helpful. All of your videos are very well done. They're easy to follow. I watch them almost every day, and have subscribed to your channel. Highly recommended!

안녕하세요 저는 토니입니다, I was wondering if you teach classes or one on one?

[-KimchiFriedRice-]

0:45 how do you know when to use ㄴ/은/는 on the adjective? Or can you just use it in any situation? Like is there a difference on the sentence if you change it?

[danniel]

Is 힘들다 really turns to 힘든? and not 힘드운? Thank you for the reply. I ask because I'm confuse.
