I am a native Korean speaker yet a large part of my own language had been a mystery to me until I watched videos like this (English speakers explaining Korean grammar). I actually teach Korean and here's how I explain 는데 to English speakers. It has three uses: 1) BUT 2) AND (with a sense of UNPREPAREDNESS) 3) INVITATION 1) BUT Used as "but". Couldn't be simpler. Use 는데 for any English sentence with a "but" in it (a single t please). 마가리타 비디오는 좀 긴 데 재미있어요. Margarita's videos are a bit long but fun 2) AND (with a sense of UNPREPAREDNESS) Used to transition to the next sentence that the listener or the storyteller was not prepared for. Often contains an element of surprise. Often works like a sudden "cut" in a scene of a film. 버스에 탔는데 누가 오줌을 싸고 있었어요 I got on the bus and someone was peeing there (Don't tell me you would be totally prepared for such a scene). 마가리타 비디오 보고 있는데 마가리타 뒤에 귀신이 보였어요 I was watching Margarita's video and saw a ghost behind her (I am only kidding.... or am I?). In the second example, the storyteller is showing two very different perspectives back to back, which is what a "cut" does in film editing. The perspective jumps from Margarita talking about Korean grammar right to (BAM!) the ghost behind her. The sentence coming after 는데 doesn't have to be as surprising as the examples above. It can be simply something you didn't have any information about. 마가리타라는 유튜버가 있는데 한국말을 잘해요 There is an KZreadr named Margarita and she speaks Korean well. Mind you, I would say it only to someone who doesn't know who Margarita is. They have no idea who she is and can't possibly be prepared for the information I am about to deliver after 는데 3) INVITATION Used to invite the listener to participate in what you think or how you feel. This 는데 is very often followed by a question or a suggestion. 마가리타 새 비디오 나왔는데 같이 볼래? Margarita's new video came out. Do you want to watch it together? 나 스타벅스 가는데 뭐 사다줄까? I am going to Starbucks now. Do you want me to get you something? 나 내일 결혼 하는데... I am getting married tomorrow (use your K-drama imagination and insert a question here). That's it! Took me a long time to write it but I feel I got smarter for it.

Omg thanks for this explanation. Now I understand.

I study listening English by watching your youtube videos. Your youtube videos are so helpful to me who is a korean, too.

I want to thank you for this video. I stumbled on your weekly korean vids last Thursday starting from future tense video and continued watching until this video. Then on the Saturday I had a Korean exam and 는데 was in it even though we never learnt it in class(yeah I dunno). If i hadnt seen your video I would have left the whole section blank. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!

Ohhhh I can't wait for your blog!!! I know how you feel, I'm getting ready to start my own Website/Blog to help Beginner learners and just blog about my own learning experiences, and I'm *SO* excited!!! But it's still in the works so it's like... *agh!* Again, thank you *SO MUCH* for this!!! Your ways of explaining things are so good. *:)

Thanks a ton for all the effort you put in to help us :)

I really like the way you explained this, even though I've already studied ~는데, it's nice to refresh what I know

I'm not hearing the "안" (in the meat sentence).

thanx alot for this lesson.it was very useful..

Again, i'm AWED at ur accurate explanation. Really really well -explained. : ppl may use this video as a lecture for Korean Class. 1) first part,,, where u explained about "하는 (space) 데" is SO~ accurate. At here,, the "데" is called 'Incomplete Noun" meaning "a PLACE". - NOTHING TO ADD UP !!.- 2) second part ... about "하는데~" is sort of.. the compound of "하다"+"그런데" (this is the most easiest way to accept the basic meaning of it.) But when u go deeper,, as u've properly specified...it has couple more functions slightly different from the basic meaning. - i'm in the process of (Verb)ing /i'm in the mid of (Verb)ing. or, - i'm in the state of (adjective, or Gerund) The reason of this has versatile usages is mainly due to the "그런데" --which is, let say, a "transitional conjunction". ex) 걸어가는데 누가 말을 걸었다 (someone talked to me while on walking.) 책을 읽는데 잠이 왔다. ( i got sleepy as i was reading.) 슬프지만 웃었다. ( I laughed though it was sad.)

thanks a lot for this lesson! I was (and keep) stuck with this topic..

My first language is brazilian portuguese, we also have some words and terminations that work like this so for me it was really clear to understand, thank you for your video ♡

i love using 는데 because i find it quite easy but when you talked about knowing some complex stuff but not knowing some basic stuff i can relate 😂

Hi! c: I was wondering whether there is a way for you to reverse the order of your videos, so that they are played in the right order in the playlist? (From number one to the last, rather than from the last to number one?) Anyway, I love your videos, and just wanted to thank you for making them, it's really making my learning experience a lot easier! ^-^ You're also a very talented singer c: Keep up the good work, stay awesome, and I hope you have a great day!

Thanks!Please more video about learn korean language.

Oh i love you..❤️

this really helped👍🏽

thank you! I think your pronunciation is very good ^^

For someone just learning Korean, do you recommend books or videos on youtube to begin? I don't want to overwhelm myself and get discouraged. Thanx!

I was wondering if you could explain this concept using a concrete example. I am learning a song and one of the lyrics is 왜 전화 안받아 왜 답장이 없어? 왜 나를 힘들게만 하는데? What is the ~는데 doing? To me, they look like two separate sentences.

Your blog is not opening why?????? Please answerrr

Can you do a video about fansign? like when you goes to a idol's fan sign meeting. That would help the international fans a lot!

Jesus. I think I got it but I have to watch it again and again. I am at TTMIK but did not understand still. I don’t know if you are listening to TTMIK but it’s free. Talk to me in Korean

Same explanation as what she explained. It's just that it is attached to nouns. 인데 = 이다 + (으)ㄴ데 저는 변호사인데 우리 엄마는 의사예요. 저는 학생인데 할인 요금을 내야 되잖아요.

💕💕💕

So kinda like cause and effect?

We have the same website that I using to study Korean

ok so one thing im not sure about (and native speakers can def help explaining) is the whole politeness thing. I thought I understood it completely (you speak to people you just met and people who are older in a more polite form) but I caught my korean friend speaking informally to her mother (and i figured it was ok since ya know it is her mother and they should be close lol) but when i asked her about it she said that everyone speaks informally to everyone. But when i see like kpop groups speaking to each other the younger ones speak formally (is it just for broadcast?) but they should be close with there hyungs right???? I'm just confused on how close you have to be with someone, like when do you know for sure to use 반말 or 존댓말?

Ok so I'm not a native Korean speaker but I can tell you for sure that there are as many answers as there are people. What I mean is, it really depends. I prefer speaking formally to everyone unless we are extremely close. I think there are situations when you have to be polite and there are situations where you can choose according to your preference. I would not speak informally to strangers even if they are younger than me because that's my preference. I'm not sure what your friend meant when saying that everyone speaks informally to everyone but I doubt your friend would speak informally to their teacher or the president for example, you know? :)

Смотрю все твои видео в надежде увидеть видео на русском языке когда-то когда ты пела песню бумбокс ты сказала что выпустишь такое видео,но до сих пор его нет... со своим незнанием английского(ну как не знанием,я не все понимаю на этом языке)я стараюсь все ровно смотреть твои видео и у меня просьбы:пожалуйста делай видео и на русском и на английском чтоб всем твоим подписчикам был интересен твой контент Удачи в продвижении канала)))

Во первых, спасибо большое за то что смотрите мой канал, тем более если вы не все понимаете на английском. Мне это очень приятно и я это честно очень ценю! Во вторых, я честно уже давно хотела делать видео и для русской аудитории но к моему большому сожалению я получаю слишком много негатива в ответ. Доброжелательные и теплые люди как вы есть конечно, но мраси просто больше увы. Я ютьюбом занимаюсь не как профессией а как хобби и времени не хватает снимать больше видео. Это гораздо сложнее чем кажется и занимает очень много времени. Я надеюсь что в скоре сниму еще видео на русском но петь на русском я больше не буду, хватит с меня. Вы же сами видите как русско-язычные люди комментирую на моих видео (в том числе и на кавере песни бумбокс), так что я надеюсь вы меня поймете. Спасибо еще раз за ваши теплые слова.

Thanks for the video. It's quite helpful but maybe less English speaking and speak slower in Korean. Lesser hand expression will be appreciated as it is quite disrupting.

Pronunciation is wrong
