Idk why but I just got so concentrated in Billy's whole explanation that I couldn't get myself to take notes. And, when he was putting on the space head thing, I was like: Is it already over?! 15 mins flew by quick! But I understood! Now I'll rewatch and take my notes! heh
THIS. IS. EXACTLY. WHAT. I. HAVE. BEEN. LOOKING. FOR. FOR. MONTHS. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have been trying to study verbs that end with the 히 and so on bc I knew what it meant but I wanted to know how many verbs could be affected by this! EDIT: so i have a question, if I got pushed by someone I would say "내가 밀렸어" and not 나를 right? bc if I wanted to say that I myself had pushed someone/something it would be "내가 밀었어" ? and that goes for all the other ones too?
Great lesson.... Went a little bit too fast for me. But I got the gist of it. The example you were using about changing the light was funny. ㅋㅋㅋ. So is this how Korean humor comes into play?
This is an abridged video, so it's as fast as possible on purpose (for quick review). I recommend watching the uncut full live stream on my channel if this is your first time learning about the topic.
Hello teacher, For the passive verbs I noticed that the passive suffixes like 이 are not attached to the verb stem. For instance, 보다 becomes 봐요 in the present form, so in the passive form 보 + 이 are not attached, is it to “mark” the passive form? Thank you 😊
@ I am sorry! I mean that, as you taught us, in the present, when a verb stem adds a suffix, this suffix becomes ONE in the new syllable: For instance, in the present; 보다 becomes 보 + ㅏ = 봐 Verbs in ㅜ become ㅝ Verbs in ㅣ become ㅕ Etc, In the passive form, 보다 becomes 보이다 and not 뵈다, why? The reason behind that is it to “mark” the passive (in the verb) po-이-da？ My question might sound strange, but I always look for a logical explanation behind linguistic rules! Thank you
@@xopowo1979 Combining the syllables is for conjugating verbs to the 요 form, but it doesn't always happen. There's a separate verb 뵈다 that came from 보 + 이 but is not used the same way, so it would be confusing to write it that way.
Great lesson! But I have a question. You said that if there is a subject marker in the sentence, it is never a passive voice, but then give the example “사랑을 받다”. Isn’t that passive?
The verb 받다 by itself is not passive, so it takes an object. 사랑을 받다 literally means "to receive love", and that is how Koreans say 'to be loved'. The translation is passive, which is why it was included in the lesson, but the actual phrase is grammatically active.
I have come here straight from your causative verbs video and think I might be very confused. The traffic light was changed (passive) and the active voice can't be used for that sentence but I don't understand why; you said that the active voice implies a direct object (e.g. the traffic light changed something) but can that something not be itself? As in, the traffic light changed [itself]? I feel like 'the traffic light was changed' is really unnatural in English which is causing my confusion as change can be both transitive and intransitive in English but my understanding from your video is that, in Korean, it's always transitive? Or do I need to go back and watch the causative video again? 😅
If you wanted to say the traffic light changed itself (let's just say it does), then you'd still need to add that object into the sentence. Then in that case you could use the verb 바꾸다, although the sentence would sound strange. As for translation, that's just a translation issue - everything in Korean needs to be translated back and forth in a different way so it sounds natural. Even something as simple as 저는 미국인이에요 "I am American person" needs to be changed to "I'm American" to sound natural. So it's just something you'll adapt to with more practice :)
Thank you! So, are there *any* rules for how to make verbs into passive form? Or is there a good resource that gives an explanation or listing? Also, thanks for using BTS in one of your examples. 💜
Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean wow! I learned some when i was 18 but didn’t take it seriously. Now I am more interested. Do you sell your book online?
That sounds like I am learning English, not Korean because the teacher never puts students into practicing Korean repeatedly, no Korean practice at all. Practice makes perfect! Please make us practice Korean by speaking slowly and repeatedly because we all want to acquire Korean. Anyway, thanks a lot for your channel!
I heard that this was one of if not the most difficult part of learning Korean. I totally get why now
how is Korean still so fun!!
One example one thing that you are familiar with makes you remember it all
thank you again
I really needed that lesson. I was struggling with the passive verbs and I couldn't find good resources. Thank you so much! :)
I really need practice with these Passive Verbs! Thank you! :)
한국말 공부하는 거 동안 영어도 배워요 ㅋ 가끔 어렵지만 다르고 재미있는 공부 해용
Excellent lesson as always Billy - I appreciate your passion for Korean and making it accessible for us all!
I love your channel 'cause you're always explaining interesting grammar and i'm a grammar lover lol

I just purchased your korean beginner’s guide and workbook #1 from amazon. :D
Thank you billy for all your videos!^^ i ve learnt a lot😀
This guy is amazing
You are the best Billy
I think an easier way to explain some things is to simply specify the difference bewtreen transitive and intransitive verbs.
I made a video about those too here: ua-cam.com/video/iNdKtSPcsUA/v-deo.html
helpful for my midterm tomorrow; thank you :-)
Thank you so much for your lessons, Billy! ^^

Anyhow I like the passion of Billy when he explains Korean grammar. :)
Which one is correct 먹이다 or 먹히다 , in my grammar book it is 먹이다.
They're both correct, but different verbs. 먹이다 is causative ("to feed") while 먹히다 is passive ("to be eaten").
Hello teacher,
For the passive verbs I noticed that the passive suffixes like 이 are not attached to the verb stem. For instance, 보다 becomes 봐요 in the present form, so in the passive form 보 + 이 are not attached, is it to “mark” the passive form?
Thank you 😊
I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but can you rephrase what you mean?
@ I am sorry!
I mean that, as you taught us, in the present, when a verb stem adds a suffix, this suffix becomes ONE in the new syllable:
For instance, in the present;
보다 becomes 보 + ㅏ = 봐
Verbs in ㅜ become ㅝ
Verbs in ㅣ become ㅕ
Etc,
In the passive form, 보다 becomes 보이다 and not 뵈다, why?
The reason behind that is it to “mark” the passive (in the verb) po-이-da？
My question might sound strange, but I always look for a logical explanation behind linguistic rules!
Thank you

Thank you teacher! I am truly thankful for your quick answers and great patience! I appreciate it a lot! Thank you
So if you can’t use 되다, what is the passive form of 좋아하다?
Well you could just use 좋다 ("to be good") which doesn't use the subject marker.
Hi billy I ve seen passive verb used with 있다 before, like 문은 열려 있어요, how is that different from just 열려요 or 열렸어요 ?

what about 「~게 되다」 which you haven't mentioned in the video and I'm rather confused about.

I've been binge-watching your videos recently and I have to ask: who's Chul-soo?
An old Korean name that used to be more common than today. Kind of like "Bobby" or something like that. Often used in textbook example sentences.
@@GoBillyKorean Oh! I thought it was the name of your wife or someone close to you. Thanks for clarifying!
