Korean Language Asked by Ian Lau on August 24, 2021
Sorry if it’s a stupid question, I’ve picked up the Talk To Me In Korean Real Life Conversations E-Book as previously advised in my first question on here. There could just be several grammatical rules that I simply haven’t learned about yet.
I understand that :
아요 – If the verb stem’s last vowel is ㅏ or ㅗ you add 아요.
어요 – If the verb stem’s last vowel not ㅏ or ㅗ you add 어요.
여요 – Add this to the verb stem that ends with 하.
But why does the 오 suddenly get a whole new vowel added to it?
Thanks to anyone who spends the time to help me on this 🙂
If the verb stem’s last vowel is ㅏ or ㅗ you add 아요
So, to 오 we would add 아요 = 오아요.
But remember that at the beginning of a character, ㅇ represents no sound - a 'null', if you like. So it makes perfect sense to remove that ㅇ in the middle...
오아요 = "오ㅏ요" = 와요
