If I get asked "What kind of book is this?" as "이거 무슨 책이에요?", I would respond with an answer that will give a "name" to the book, eg. its title, genre, or even its author... "It's a chemistry book.", "It's fiction.", or "It's a Stephen King novel." But if I get asked "이거 어떤 책이에요?" I will be inclined to respond with more of the characteristics of the book, eg. "It's an exciting mystery novel." or "It's very easy to read." That's how I understood it. :-)
- Teacher, what did you do at the weekend? - I went to the cinema. - What kind of movie did you see? I sometimes had this conversation with students when I came to teach in Korea. I was puzzled to know why they were only interested in knowing the genre of the film, not the title. Now I know what they meant.
about the 어떤 , i understood it as , they ask as like, our personal opinion . Not just the facts, "its a romance book"," its a fiction book", but mostly , what do we think of the book? So 어떤 is more like "how did you like the book? what do you think of the book?"
For people who speak French fluently, 무슨 is kind of the equivalent of "quel". For example , you wouldn't say "tu regarde quoi filme?" You have to say "tu regarde QUEL filme?" Think of 무슨 as "quel" basically.
this is an old comment, but i have to agree that if one speaks a language besides English already, these differences become quite easy to understand! in czech, for example, we have multiple 'what's and that makes it so much easier to distinguish! i generally think that while everything is available in English, the language itself isn't the most helpful and/or varied :D
I really love the production quality of your videos, just shows how much thought you put into them and how passionate you are about language learning, thank you so much ttmik! My korean journey has been easier because of you :D
I hope i'm not weird, but I actually LOVE learning about the grammatical differences between words like these when studying Korean...or just the grammar in general. Understanding the cultural differences of why the phrasing or structure of sentences may be different is also fascinating to me. 선생님 감사합니다!
I don't know, but watching these lessons I feel like I already know where and how to use different words but not depending on a specific rule.. it comes out naturally when I try to speak korean. what do you think about that?
Your Korean is good. But I just want to correct your Korean as Korean if you don't mind. :) 어느 선생님이 좋아해요? -> 여러분은 어느 선생님이 좋으세요? SUN HYUNWOO씨 정말 좋아해요! -> 저는 SUN HYUNWOO선생님이 정말 좋아요!
Music Lover! You can use 어느 and 누구 and also 어떤 for a person. For example, "어느 선생님이 좋으세요?" "어떤 선생님이 좋으세요?" "누가 좋으세요?" These sentences are all correct. but it's wrong if you say "누구 선생님이 좋으세요?". --> You have to say "선생님들 중에 누가 좋으세요?" "선생님들 중에 누가 좋으세요?" = "어느 선생님이 좋으세요?" They are same. 1) 어느 선생님이 좋으세요?: Which teacher do you like? 2) 선생님들 중에 누가 좋으세요?: Who do you like among the teachers? 3) 어떤 선생님이 좋으세요?: What kind of teacher do you like? 4) 누가 좋으세요?: Who do you like? I hope it is helpful to you. Good luck!
I'm sure I'm not the only one but I think y'll should open a school haha Y'all explain everything in such detail and with so many examples! I have the level 1-4 books (waiting for the level 5 workbook) and have learned so much! 너무 감사합니다! 너희 모두 광장해요!
I also would rather spend my summer/money crash coursing at TTMIK language school instead of other big name universities. You should seriously consider opening one. You can start small with only 8-10 students per beginner, intermediate or advanced learner. Keep the classes to 3 hrs in the am and 3 hrs after lunch. Hold the length to 6 weeks so there are no visa problems. Assist students with discounted hotel reservations within walking distance of school. Incorporate field trips into the curriculum e.g. bus/train trips (after teaching directions) restaurant trips and shopping trips after teaching money, etc. I'm sure it would be a very profitable school and students throughout the world can share their cultural backgrounds. I hope you give this serious consideration, thank you. READERS: PLEASE LIKE THIS COMMENT IF YOU AGREE!
I like this teacher, he teach clearly and I really understand anything thank you so much. I've watched other Korean lessons here on youtube but I don't understand anything, it's a good thing I saw this youtube channel and I learned a lot from it because the teacher is so good at teaching. Now I have learned something new again and I'm taking notes. What a great teacher🤗
Bruh this is the best channel on the yt! You have no idea how helpful your videos are for people who try their best but fail on basic parts of a new language. Honestly, I wanted to give up, but now I have even more energy cause if I don't understand smth i can search for it here and boom! Learning is fun (I can't believe I said that, me from 2015 would kick me in the head for saying that if it was possible lol). Thank you so much for your hard work! ♡
우와 너무 감사합니다 선생님들이 🌹 .in a fact I think your website is the best ever ✌ every lesson, boadcast and your books that you are mad it it means that you are want all of the word aware about Korean language included me. actually I'm still learning English and Korean at the same time so your efforts are helpful to makes me and each person here to keep going 🌷 정말 수고했어요 . I wish in one day i'll becames afluent in korean 😊 all the love and appreciation to the greatest teachers from Egypt 💜💜
you are really good at explaining, honestly i don't know how my korean learning would go without you. thank you so much for all the effort, talk to me in korean as a whole is perfect and very helpful. ☺️
I thought about this exact question yesterday!!! Great help! It's still a bit confusing since English is not my first language but you go through it in detail and it's easy to follow.
Thank you for this video! It was very useful. You explain things really clearly. Your books are good too. I'm learning Korean as a hobby and TTMIK makes it so much easier.
선현우 선생님, funny enough I did not come across the word "어느" till now, so I just learnt a new word today!! Also did not quite grasped the correct use of "어떤": it practically demands a more elaborate and detailed response. 감사합니다! 🙏🏻🤗🤗
I always feel //so good// when I end up understanding a concept like this, just that feeling u get when things suddenly make sense and everything clicks in place.. I love it :3
I am learning Korea in English as a Chinese person and I found this video really helpful. I subscribed with out any hesitation. Thank you so much for making this nice tutorial
Even though I never studied these words, I was able to understand them already just from listening to people talk. Just shows that you should supplement your study with actual listening to, because you never know what you'll pick up. Good job everyone
I should have looked for this channel a long time again because the lessons is so simple and understandable at the beginning I only knew the alphabet but know I think I will be able to make simple sentences and I start to see how the vocabulary and grammar comes together. Thank you so much Sir :)
Thank you so much for this! After googling this and reading through endless long explanations online for the past couple of hours, I found out that I could have just watched this 12' video and have all my questions answered. 감사합니다!
I from Africa madagascar I follow You during 3 years old ;the korean language is very hard for me but now I car read;i can write;i can talk korean ☺ 100% 진짜 감사합니다!!!!!
Thank you for this!✨ I've always thought 어떤 is a less formal version of 어느. Orz Come to think of it, 무슨 is just 무엇 with an (으)ㄴ to make it an adjective. Also, I think 어떤 is related to 어때 'how (something is).' I'm glad I speak other Asian languages for me to understand this.
Amazing how you seem to read my mind and anticipate the things that have been confusing and bothering me! Thanks for the excellent explanation! (My Korean friends have been more or less useless in clarifying this stuff!)

- Teacher, what did you do at the weekend?
- I went to the cinema.
- What kind of movie did you see?
I sometimes had this conversation with students when I came to teach in Korea. I was puzzled to know why they were only interested in knowing the genre of the film, not the title. Now I know what they meant.
about the 어떤 , i understood it as , they ask as like, our personal opinion . Not just the facts, "its a romance book"," its a fiction book", but mostly , what do we think of the book? So 어떤 is more like "how did you like the book? what do you think of the book?"
@@spiritmoonwalker same
So 무슨 is for general description / facts and 어떤 is for the specific description / what we think of it?
@@spiritmoonwalker i mean 어떻다 can technically also mean "how" so it wouldnt be wrong
For people who speak French fluently, 무슨 is kind of the equivalent of "quel". For example , you wouldn't say "tu regarde quoi filme?" You have to say "tu regarde QUEL filme?" Think of 무슨 as "quel" basically.
imaneak 1 It’s funny how a comment meant for French speakers about Korean is written in English
I find it funny and also amazing that I totally understand this :)) cuz I speak 3 these languages
It‘s the same in German, you don‘t say „was Film guckst du“, you would say „welchen Film guckst du“ (if there is anyone who speaks german)
this is an old comment, but i have to agree that if one speaks a language besides English already, these differences become quite easy to understand! in czech, for example, we have multiple 'what's and that makes it so much easier to distinguish! i generally think that while everything is available in English, the language itself isn't the most helpful and/or varied :D
Mais du coup pour 어떤 tu traduirais comment ? Moi je dirais que c'est genre " comment sont" les films que t'aimes bien ?
I really love the production quality of your videos, just shows how much thought you put into them and how passionate you are about language learning, thank you so much ttmik! My korean journey has been easier because of you :D
You are totally right
someone's been working out hahaha thanks for the lesson
I hope i'm not weird, but I actually LOVE learning about the grammatical differences between words like these when studying Korean...or just the grammar in general. Understanding the cultural differences of why the phrasing or structure of sentences may be different is also fascinating to me. 선생님 감사합니다!
Lol no you're not weird, it's super interesting!
No I‘m exactly the same! :)
I think so too :)
Honestly, grammar is the main reason why I like Korean. You're not weird! :)
I don't know, but watching these lessons I feel like I already know where and how to use different words but not depending on a specific rule.. it comes out naturally when I try to speak korean. what do you think about that?
YasoHofe same here
That's great!! :)
I sometimes get it as well, before even learning about a verb or a phrase, i kind of know what its about just by the "vibe?" Idk how to explain it ;-;
Same! But not with Korean yet just with French because I've been learning French for longer
감사합니다 !
어느 선생님이 좋아해요 ?
SUN HYUNWOO씨 정말 좋아해요 !
Your Korean is good. But I just want to correct your Korean as Korean if you don't mind. :)
어느 선생님이 좋아해요? -> 여러분은 어느 선생님이 좋으세요?
SUN HYUNWOO씨 정말 좋아해요! -> 저는 SUN HYUNWOO선생님이 정말 좋아요!
Peter Is it ok to use 어느 for a person? Can I use 누구 instead? or is it very wrong? hahaha
Peter Thank you ! ☺️
Music Lover!
You can use 어느 and 누구 and also 어떤 for a person.
For example, "어느 선생님이 좋으세요?" "어떤 선생님이 좋으세요?" "누가 좋으세요?" These sentences are all correct.
but it's wrong if you say "누구 선생님이 좋으세요?". --> You have to say "선생님들 중에 누가 좋으세요?"
"선생님들 중에 누가 좋으세요?" = "어느 선생님이 좋으세요?" They are same.
1) 어느 선생님이 좋으세요?: Which teacher do you like?
2) 선생님들 중에 누가 좋으세요?: Who do you like among the teachers?
3) 어떤 선생님이 좋으세요?: What kind of teacher do you like?
4) 누가 좋으세요?: Who do you like?
I hope it is helpful to you. Good luck!
Peter Thank you sooooo much. ㄱㅅ
howtostudykorean lesson 22-23 give a lot of great detail on these words.

외국인한테는 이런게 헷갈리는구나..
우리가 영어 배울 때 헷갈리는 것 처럼...^^
우리는 이런 문법 생각안하고 막 쓰는데..
영어원어민도 자기들도 문법 생각안하고 막 쓴다고 하던 말이 완전 통감되네요!
저는 역으로 여기에서 영어 배웁니다!^^
감사합니다 ^.^!!
Thank you so much for such useful information!
감사합니다 선생님 It helps me a lot!
Thabk you very much
Sometimes I have to watch these videos more than once because 선현우 선생님 is so dreamy that I'm distracted ...
