~의 & ~도

의

This particle is super easy to understand, because it is really similar to the possessive "'s" (?

지민의 가방

Jimin's bag

지민= Jimin

지민의= Jimin's

Be careful with the pronunciation tho. 의 is pronounced as the "e" in "bed". So 지민의 would be pronounced like. 지민에 (Jimin-eh)

Now, what happens if it's not Jimin's bag, but mine? Are there words like "my, your, his, her..."?

Good news, to don't need to learn any new vocabulary!

You can just use the correct pronoun and add 의 behind it. However, the sound gets contracted:

저+의= 제

나+의=내

너+의=니

And with 우리 you could keep it that way, or say 우리의.

Then...

야! 지민의 가방이 아니야! 내 가방이야!

Hey! It's not Jimin's bag! It's my bag!

도

This particle is super duper easy too~! I promise uwu

It is used to express the meaning of "Too" or "also". But, in English you usually drop the word "too" wherever you want and you kind of get by context what you're referring to, right?

Ex: I speak Spanish too.

Could mean two different things:

     1-In a conversation that someone else started with "I speak Spanish.", this means you can speak it as well.

     2-In a conversation that you started yourself saying "I speak English", you are adding that as well as English, you speak Spanish.

In Korean, for this reason, you must pay attention to where you write this particle:

Now, let's change the example phrase, I haven't taught the grammar of the last one, 미안해용~ ㅎㅎ

I have a bag too.

1- The person has a bag, and you want to say you have one too:

저도 가방를 있어요

2-You've got a cute sweater, and you want to point out that you have a bag as well as the sweater:

저는 가방도 있어요.

Alright? I feel like I made the explanation harder than it actually was ;~;

Now, I give you a little practice. Let's see if you can translate this short conversation!

A: 지민의 가방 좋아해요!

B: 네! 저도 지민의 가방 좋아해요.

(Write down your translations in the comments. I am going to tell if it's correct or not)

This is the end of the lesson~
