I'm Chinese.
How to say and write in Korean.
Today, I will tell you when you introduce yourself which country you are from. Shall I try "I am Chinese." first?
I am Chinese.
나는 중국인입니다.
naneun jung-gug-in-ibnida.
First of all, I will write 'I' in Korean.
I
나
na
Shall we write it together? The Korean consonant 'ㄴ nieun' is written first. When writing 'ㄴ nieun', you can hang it by straightening it down and twisting it to the right. This looks like the lower left corner of the square. Like this.
ㄴ
Nieun
Now that I wrote'ㄴ nieun', I add the vowel 'ㅏ ah' to it. The consonant 'ㄴ nieun' is appended with the vowel 'ㅏ ah' to become 'I 나 na'.
I
나
na
Now write 'am 는 neun'. This also begins with the consonant 'ㄴ nieun'. It goes down vertically and turns to the right to finish. Think of it as the lower left part of the rectangle. 'ㄴ nieun' is the English pronunciation of N. Now that I’ve written'ㄴ nieun', I have to add a vowel next contains the vowel 'ㅡ eu'. The vowel 'ㅡ eu' is drawn horizontally from left to right. Then the consonant 'ㄴ nieun' and the vowel 'ㅡ eu' are combined to form '느 neu'. Now we add 'ㄴ nieun' below of '느 neu' as the final consonant complete 'am 는 neun'.
I am
나는
naneun
Now that I have become 'I am 나는 naneun', I will write the next 'Chinese 중국인 jung-gug-in' in Korean. First of all, I write the consonant 'ㅈ jieuj '. Draw a straight line to the right, turn the diagonal line to the left, and mark it as if it were a dot. In this way, 'ㅈ jieuj' is completed. Add the vowel 'ㅜ u' to the completed 'ㅈ jieuj' below. Because the vowel 'ㅜ u' is a vowel attached to the bottom of the consonant. The consonant 'ㅈ jieuj' is added with the vowel 'ㅜ u' to become '주 ju'. Put the base 'ㅇ ieung' here to complete '중 jung'. The vowel 'ㅜ u' is attached under the consonant, and the base is attached under it. Like this. '중 jung'. If the syllable ends with a consonant, the consonant is written below the vowel, and it is called '받침 batchim'.
I will write the next '국 guk'. Shall we write it together? It goes horizontally to the right and down vertically. You can think of it as the upper right corner of the square box. Like this 'ㄱ giyeog'. Now add the vowel 'ㅜ u' to the consonant 'ㄱ giyeog'. I said earlier that the vowel 'ㅜ u' is attached to the bottom of the consonant, right? The '구 gu' is completed by adding the vowel 'ㅜ u' under the consonant 'ㄱ giyeog'. Attach 'ㄱ giyeog' as a final consonant (받침 batchim) below the '구 gu'. Now '국 guk' is completed by adding 'ㄱ giyeog' under '구 gu'.
China
중국
jung-gug
I will write the next 'people 인 in'. I write '이 i' first. If you draw a circle, that is 'ㅇ ieung' in Korean. In this way, 'ㅇ ieung' is completed. I'll add the vowel 'I i' next to 'ㅇ ieung'. The vowel 'ㅣ i' is a vowel attached to the right side of a consonant. Therefore, to the right of 'ㅇ ieung', put the vowel 'ㅣ i' Like this '이 i'. Now '이 i' is completed. I'll attach the final consonant (we call it '받침 Batchim' in Korean.) 'ㄴ nieun' under '이 i' like this. '인 in'! Now, '인 in' is completed.
people
인
in
When you combine China and people, you become Chinese. This is how 'Chinese 중국인 jung-gug-in' are done in Korean.
Chinese
중국인
jung-gug-in
Up to now, I've even done 'I'm Chinese. 나는 중국인 na-neun jung-gug-in' and to make this a sentence, we need to add '입니다 ibnida' to the end of 'I'm Chinese. 나는 중국인 na-neun jung-gug-in'. In English, 'I'm Chinese. 나는 중국인 na-neun jung-gug-in' and 'I am Chinese. 나는 중국인입니다. naneun jung-gug-in-ibnida.' are equally 'I am Chinese.', but in Korean they are different. I say 'I'm Chinese. 나는 중국인 na-neun jung-gug-in', when I say it to my friend. I say 'I am Chinese. 나는 중국인입니다. naneun jung-gug-in-ibnida.' when I say it officials or adults.
Shall we write '입니다 ibnida' in Korean now? First of all, I write 'ㅇ ieung' and to the right side of it, put the vowel 'l i'. Now it has become '이 i'. I'll add 'ㅂ bieup' under the '이 i' as a final consonant, which we call '받침 batchim' in Korean. So now it has become '입 ib'. Now, '니 ni' is made by adding the vowel 'ㅣ i' to 'ㄴ nieun'. And '다 da' is made by adding the vowel 'ㅏ ah' to 'ㄷ digut'. Shall we put the three together? '입니다 ibnida' is created like this.
am
입니다
ibnida
Now let's write everything we've learned so far. I am Chinese.
I am Chinese.
나는 중국인입니다.
naneun jung-gug-in-ibnida.
