Irregulars Part 3: ㅂ

This is quite a extensive post so grab a pen and some paper andbrace yourselves! XD There’s also a really helpful table at the bottom of the post so please check that out for help with honorifics!

If the last letter of a word stem ends in ㅂ (쉽다 = easy), the ㅂ changes to 우 when adding a vowel. 우 then gets added to the next syllable in the conjugated word.

This is mostly done with adjectives. Many verbs end with ㅂ but this rule is rarely applied to verbs (some of the few verbs where this rule applies are: 줍다 (to pick up), 눕다 (to lie down)). For example:

쉽다 = to be easy 쉽 + 어 = 쉬 + 우 + 어 = 쉬워 그것은 쉬워 = That is easy

어렵다 = to be difficult 어렵 + 어요 = 어려 + 우 + 어요 = 어려워요 그것은 어려워요 = That is difficult

In the words “돕다” (to help) and “곱다” (an uncommon way to say “beautiful”) ㅂ changes to 오 instead of 우. For example:

돕다 = to help 돕 + 았어요 = 도 + 오 + 았어요 = 도왔어요 저는 저의 어머니를 도왔어요 = I helped my mother

Note: The ㅂ in 돕다 and 곱다 changes to 오 only when ~아/어 (or any derivative like ~았/었다 or ~아/어요) is added. When adding any other vowel, ㅂ changes to 우. As of now, you haven’t learned when you would need to add a different vowel.So don’t worry too much yet!

Because the ㅂ irregular is found in adjectives, you will be conjugating it not only at the end of a sentence, but also in the middle of a sentence (before a noun). Remember the difference between these two sentences.

사과는 크다 = Apples are big 나는 큰 사과를 좋아한다 = I like big apples

In the first sentence, ‘big’ is an adjective that describes the noun (apple) at the end of the sentence. In the second, ‘big’ describes the apple (as ‘a big apple’) and then “like” acts on the noun.

Day 36 of My 2020 Quarantine Challenge!

✨ 18th August ✨ Would you prefer your summer to be shorter or longer?

i really don’t think it would matter to me because honestly every summer i’ve had, no matter the length, has felt like the same amount of time. so i think i would say shorter if it meant i would get less heat

click on the pictures for better quality and to see that i did actually write stuff in those places where it looks blank (i love using pastel colours but they basically become invisible in pictures).

here’s another of my set of cacti! these are probably the coolest ones i have because of the insane pattern of the spikes because it is so perfect. these are called James, Betty and Inez (100 points if you can tell me what song inspired those names…)

top surgery fund

hey there everyone, i’ve been pretty radio silent since my a levels ended because i am not really working. i am a trans guy who has been on testosterone for five months now and really want to start getting myself to a position to be able to get top surgery. i have been binding since i was about 14 (i’m 18 now) and with asthma and hypermobility mean that the several intercostal muscle sprains because of both of those things, bindings a pain in my ass i can’t be bothered with and also, i don’t want to bind, want to yeet my tit.

as of right now i am looking at surgeons and speaking to my GIC about a referral to a surgeon (which will be about £300) and then a consultation which will likely be no more than £200 as far as I have seen and then hopefully no more than £7k for the actual surgery + all of that jazz.

i’m working on getting some money from various places but would really appreciate it if people were able to chip in just a lil bit via my paypal (paypal.me/jusafn). i’d really appreciate anything people are able to do, be that a small contribution or just reblogging.

tldr; gay, trans, nd, mentally ill, asthmatic guy w/ hypermobility n semi fucked up ribs wants top surgery bus has no money pls help :”) link is paypal.me/jusafn
