The man is not popular... *wrong the right answer is the man is not stylish.... Very confusing
인기가 is popular! It's a different word than they used before to mean "stylish or cool" though they're just similar adjectives....
Am I correct if I say 멋있습니다 is "mush-is-nida" and 멋없습니다 is "mudh-obs-nida"?
For 멋있습니다, it would be "mush-is-sum-ni-da" and for 멋없습니다 "mudh-obs-sum-ni-da. ㅂ makes a very soft b sound so its prounounced more like an m. Like in 감사합니다 (thank you). I dont think it applies to all words though like 방탄 (bulletproof).
Why is it "mudh-obs-sum-ni-da" if the character is written 멋 없 ... It looks like "mus-obs"
When ㅅ is at the end of the bracket things or "blocks" (sorry i don't know what they're called) it then sounds like a "T"
When ㅅ is in bachim (last consonant in a block) postion it is pronounced as T
If u wanna clear about its pronounciation as M u should watch 90 min class by learn korean with go billy on utube
멋있슴니다 is pronounced as "meot-it-seum-ni-da" and 멋없슴니다 is pronounced as "meot-eob-seum-ni-da". If you're still confused listen to the recording for the word or look up the pronunciation online :)
"Meot-it-sum-nida" and "meot-ot-sum-nida" if its a consonant at the end specifically ㅈ and ㅅ and any of their variations it ends in a t but not a hard t. Its like you fix your mouth to say the sound but dont actually say it. I believe these are called 바지 words buy dont quote me. I learned in a grammar book the any korean word that ends in a consonant the consonant is silent but you still fix your mouth to say it. For instance 정국 his name is actually pronounced "Jeong- guk" but the k is barely spoken if at all it sounds more to english speakers as "jeonggoo" if you pronounce the ending speaking the sound as you normally koreans will think you said consonant+으. So instead of 정국 they'll hear 정구그. Becareful with this it can lead to some weird misunstandings
Safibta , The first one goes 'mush-is-simmida' The second one goes 'mudh-obs-simmida' I know the spelling says '-nida' but if you listen closely the pronunciation and ultimately the sound comes to '-mmida' . Saying '-nida' will make it difficult to say. Try '-mmida' and see how it goes.
They're pronounced "meositsimnida" and "meoseopsimnida" respectively.
This is finally starting to click for me!
(subject)(description)없습니다 = (sub) is not/is lacking (description).
(sub)(description)있습니다 = (sub) is/has/exhibits (description).
Because
(sub)(vrb)습니다 = (sub) is/is doing (vrb)
없 = not/without/lack
있 = affirmative/includes/having
Put it all together:
(sub) (description) 없습니다 = The book is without interest/not interesting/lacks excitement = 책이재미없습니다
(sub)(description) 있습니다 = The woman has taste/is stylish/is fashionable/is cool = 여자이멋이있습니다
This whole time the language instruction developers have been teaching us extremely basic sentence structure, not pop-culture philosophy. So, yeah...
...Thanks! 고맙습니다!

I keep hearing "mat" - 맛 when it is written "mot"- 멋. Can someone explain this? Is it a mistake? I only hear it when it is about people. The other things like food it wrote and it sounded likemail mat-맛. Which means flavour
Anytime a syllable ends in ㅈ or ㅅ the word has a soft t sound or barely spoken t. Its called 바지 I believe. Its when a word ends in a consonant. The ending isnt said but you still fix your mouth to say the word. For instance the name "정국" most english speakers will hear "jeonggoo" instead of "jeongguk." If you were to say guk with a normal ㄱ instead of a silent or 바지 "ㄱ" koreans will hear "정구그" instead of "정국"
Earlier in the lesson 멋있습니다 is taught as 'awesome' so this is a bit misleading.
멋 = To be awesome, to be cool 있습니다 = It is (has) 없습니다 = It isn't (does not have) It might be hard if they didn't teach you though..
By the way, these two words--멋 and 맛--are slightly similar and very easy to get confused with one another for us English speaking learners.
멋있습니다: is cool/is fashionable/has style/HAS GOOD TASTE
맛있습니다: has good flavor/TASTES GOOD
For all those who are learning Korean: 멋없습니다 is very uncommon word. I finished five levels of Korean (from 6 levels) in 어학당 and I lived in Korea for more than two years and I've never heard anyone to use this word. So If you want to sound more natural you should use synonyms. 인기가 없습니다 sounds more natural and can also mean "isn't cool".
Seriously!? When are they going to fix this question? There is some issue with the voice matching on this question.
the phrase has "modopsimida" written in Hangeul, but will only accept if I say "moshisimida"...
How long will it take Duolingo to fix this question? Do I need to report it on Facebook or some other Social media sites?
가수는 - Singer 멋없습니다 - It's not cool.
So, together it becomes -
가수는 멋없습니다 - The singer is not cool.
same, so I tried to pronounce it with every syllable and it said correct when I pronounce it as "뭇없습니다".. they rlly need to fix that
it's like that for me too, so I tried pronouncing other syllables and it said correct when I pronounced "멋없습니다" as, "뭇없습니다"
Don't feel bad. My Korean spouse cannot satisfy the speech detection algorithm either.

Oh my god. Thank you. I thought I was gonna break something trying for it to accept my pronunciation...

Same here. I noticed it easily accepts it when i say 멋있습니다. I think this is clearly an error
This question cycles over and over again when the app is unable to accept my pronounciaton of "meodeopsibnida" the lesson should end instead.
it sounds more like "matobsumnida" (not tasty) than "meotobsumnida" (not cool)
shouldn't this be pronounced as meos-eobt-seum-ni-da because when an s at the end of a syllable precedes a placeholder and a vowel the s sound comes through?
-
맛 = "flavor" or "taste". So 맛없습니다 is "tastes bad".
-
멋 = "stylish" or "cool". So 멋없습니다 is "not stylish/cool".
-가 is a topic marking particle while -는 is a subject marking particle so it kinda means the same thing? I think you default to 은/는 if the subject is also the topic.
I don't know a lot about korean language How should I know if it's cool or uncool or it's famous or not
I dislike the randomness of these sentences. I wish Duolingo were thematic.
Talking about school.
Talking about work.
Talking about entertainment.
sigh
Since "는/은 " are topic markers, it means that the subject in this sentence could either be "Singers" or "The singer"?
가수는 is a general reference for singerS not a specific singer. idiot translation
At first I thought it was "the singe is not tasty or delicious" then I was like wait what?
I'm not confused at all. I just wanted to make it clear that not all singers are uncool
"Books are meaningless" "The singer is uncool"
Me, a bookworm and a music lover: offended
Why in one sentence it is "uncool" or "not cool" and in another it is "unattractive" or 'not attractive"?
Im saying this correct every single time, but the app does not pick up what i say. Only o this word
The pronunciation acceptance for this is wrong. If i say meodobseumnida it's wrong if i say meoseobseumnida its right
I have pronounced it correctly but it was not accepted, while the other words I do not pronounce correctly was accepted?
My answer is same with the answer but it says it is wrong? The same words...
I've tried like 20 times to pronounce this. I've sounded out every letter, every syllable, slowed it down, sped it up. It still won't take my answer ❤❤❤ is going on. I've been speaking korean for 10 years and this is the only question giving me issues!! I'm so frustrated
Oh my god i said the singer tastes good and it finally took my answer lmao what even. 가수는 맛있습니다.
