Missing Cat

안녕하세요? 2023년 5월 13일 한국어 강사 Sadie예요.
오늘은 일상생활 속에서 자주 시용되는 문법을 하나 배워볼까해요. 
Today, we are going to learn a grammar that is often used in everyday life.

* Vern stem + 아/어/해 본 적이 있다 (없다)

과거의 무언가를 시도한 경험의 유무를 물어볼 때 쓰는 표현이에요. 
Which means to have the experience of having tried something. 

예를 들어 볼게요. Let me give you a few examples.
- 가다 to go / 가 +(아)본 적이 있다 have been to
- 먹다 to eat / 먹+어 본 적이 있다  have tried
- 사용하다  to use / 사용+해 본 적이 있다  have used 
- 만나다 to meet / 만나+ (아)본 적이 있다 have met 

- 가다 to go / 가+본 적이 없다 have never been to 
- 먹다 to eat / 먹+어 본적이 없다 have never tried 
- 사용하다  to use / 사용+해 본적이 없다  have never used
- 만나다  to meet / 만나 +(아) 본 적이 없다 have never met 

- 저는 미국에 가 본 적이 있어요. I have been  to the U.S. 
- 한국 음식을 먹어 본 적이 없어요. I’ve never tried Korean food. 

그럼 짧은 대화를 통해서 이 표현이 어떻게 쓰이는지 들어볼까요? 
Let's listen to a short conversation using this expression

1) 
A 어제 명동에서 연예인을 만났어요.   Yesterday, I met a celebrity in Myeongdong. 
B 와， 난 지금까지 한 번도 연예인을 만난 적이 없어요.  Wow, I’ ve never met a celebrity.  

2)
A 시장에서 물건 값을 잘 깎아요? Can you bargain well at the market? 
B 아니요， 깎아 본 적이 없어요. No, I’ve never been able to bargain. 

어땠나요?  어렵지 않죠?  그럼 아래의 연습문제도 한번 해보시기 바랄게요. 

1. Have you seen this guy before? (to see = 보다, this guy = 이 남자) 
2. Have you attended before? (to attend 참석하다)

그럼  다음시간까지 안녕히 계세요.

Hi, I'm Anatoly here and today I'd like to talk about vague language in an interview. 

So what is vague language? 

When you're trying to communicate something to an interviewer and you use vague terms like I'd like to help the company achieve its goals, I like this industry overall. Or this position is very exciting. 

Can you hear that there's no specificity when it comes to showing exactly that you've thought about an issue, showing the recruiter that you've gone through their website, you've looked at their products, you've considered their mission and vision and maybe you've seen their market share or the size of the company or if you've dug a little deeper. 

Maybe you've seen some reviews from people who work there, like on Glassdoor, right? 

Because you want to come into an interview from the perspective of being an employee. What does that mean? It's knowing enough so that when they're communicating with you, they feel like you're one of them.

And when they feel that you are one of them, what happens? They start to, well, it starts to diminish the doubt in them or they start to have less and less doubt about you because they are like, well, he or she is one of us. They communicate as if they know exactly who we are or they use the vocabulary that we use or they are aligned with our mission.

Enjoy the rest of the podcast and let me know how valuable it is to you.

To your success!

남편! 이리 좀 와봐요. 침대 밑에 왜 30만 원이 있는 거죠?
老公! 你过来一下。床底下怎么有三十万韩币呢?		

여보! 화내지 말아요. 이거 비상금이에요.
老婆! 你别生气, 这是应急钱。
老公, 你瞒了我几个月呀?	

여보, 날 몇 달이나 속인 거예요?
老公, 你瞒了我几个月呀?

아니, 처음 모았던 거고, 일부러 당신 속이려고 했던 건 아니에요.
没有啊, 我刚开始存, 不是特意要骗你。

* 침대 밑 床底下 
* 비상금 应急钱 
* 속이다, 감추다 瞒 
* 모으다, 저축하다 存
