Learn when to use "Ser" in Spanish

在汉语中，词序和虚词是表达语法意义的重要手段。很多时候变换词序就能改变句子原本的意思。于佑任先生是一位著名的书法家，他的墨宝千金难买。曾经有一段时间于先生住在乡下，居住环境不是很好，总是有人在他的房子附近小便，于是，他写了一句话禁止路人小便。他的秘书拿到这句话，心里冒出了一个主意……

Grammar Point: The verb (to be) boodan
While reading the Conversation, you might have wondered why the counterpart of the English verb “is” in Farsi (ast )
had different forms in different places. For instance, when Nasrin introduced her husband to her mom, she said, In
Dānieleh (This is Daniel). In another place, Nasrin asked her mom, Farzād kojāst? (Where is
Farzad?).
Like English, Farsi also uses both full and contracted forms of the verb to be. In English, we can say, “I am happy,” “Jane is
beautiful,” and “You are smart,” or we can contract the verb and say, “I’m happy,” “Jane’s beautiful,” and “You’re smart.” In
the same way, Nasrin used contracted forms of the be-verb.
Like most Indo-European languages, Farsi verbs are conjugated. Conjugation means that speakers attach endings to verbs
that provide information about the person, number, and tense of a verb. In Farsi, very often pronouns are omitted from
sentences because the verb endings imply the pronoun.

more examples:

مُعَلِّمَم=معلمم   moallemam = moallem hastam = I'm a teacher.
دُکتُری= دکتری؟  Doctori?        = Doctor hasti?        = are you a doctor?
تاجِره= تاجره       Tajere            = Tajer hast              = he's/she's a business(wo)man.
خُوشحالیم = خوشحالیم   khosh'halim =khosh'hal hastim= we're happy.
ناراحَتین؟= ناراحتین          narahatin? = narahat hastin? = are you unhappy?
تو راهَن؟= تو راهن؟         tu rahan? = tu rah hastan? = are they on the way?

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.
