I think the '쁩' looks like a smile so it helps to stick in my head

What is the difference between 기쁩니다 and 행복합니다? Are they interchangeable?

[oee16]

행복하다 - be happy, be contented/satisfied with the situation one is in.

기뻐하다/기쁘다 - be glad; be cheerful, joyful; feel a momentary happiness usually created by some specific event.

Like in English, 행복하다 expresses a more profound and longlasting emotional state than 기뻐하다/기쁘다. 행복하다 also gives the lasting sense of wellbeing.

In speech, 행복하다 can replace 기뻐하다/기쁘다 but it does not always work the other way around.

[lgbtkpopnerd]

Why is it '쁩니다' and not '쁩합니다'? Is it simply for ease of pronunciation?

[oee16]

These are called psych adjectives and psych verbs.

A psych adjective is used to describe the (static) states, emotional or psychological, of the subject. e.g. be sad, be ashamed of etc.

When '-아/어하다' is added to these adjectives, it creates psych verbs.

A psych verb is used to express an active state of/action created by the emotion concerned.

So:

기쁘다 (psych adjective) = be glad / contented / cheerful

기뻐하다 (psych verb) = to rejoice

사람들이 기쁩니다. = The people are joyful (static state)

사람들이 기쁩합니다. = The people are rejoicing (active state/action)

Nice Ending after saying people are Boring

[ph.FZcvHc]

들 why this is used??? Can any one explain it it was also used with 동물들이 means???

[oee16]

들, as an emphasis on the plurality of the attached noun.

사람 can be person or persons/people;
사람들 can only be people (plural)

Similarly,

동물, animal or animals; but
동물들 can only be animals (plural)

"들" is seldom used with inanimate objects.

[DearGulbad]

Whats the difference between ㅃ, ㅂ and ㅍ?

[Bita_Ola]

If we use 사람은 only, can it mean the same (people)?

[oee16]

Same difference as "every•one" and "everyone" in English.

사람 = person or persons

▪사람들

The use of -들 is to acknowledge plurality of the subject, but it also focuses on 'individuality'. 사람들 means each and every individual member of the group "people", i.e.

사람들 = every•one(2 words); every person

사람들-이 => '-이' marker is used to introduce/set up "사람들" as topic for discussion.

사람들이 기쁩니다 [= Lit. Of being contented, every•one is.] = Every one is contented.

▪사람은

'-은' is used for reference (to a known/established topic) and for generalization.

사람은 = People, i.e. "all the people" or "everyone (one word)"

사람은 기쁩니다 = [Lit. About people, they are happy.] = People are contented / Everyone is contented.
