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"
You are correct. However, when a consonant is followed by ㅇ, as we see with 멋없습니다, the consonant would take the place of ㅇ and the ㅅ will be pronounced as you originally would (as an 's') like so:
머섮습니다 (Meoseobseumnida)
that's not correct !! ㅅ at the end sounds like d 멋없다 [머덥따] < from naver dictionary
When ㅅ is in bachim (last consonant in a block) postion it is pronounced as T
"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
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 :)
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.
No. You have to make sure to pronounce the ㅂ symbol. Its more like "mush-ee-sum-nida" and the second more like "mush-op-sum-nida".
●When the final consonant sounds as "ㄱ" "ㄷ" or "ㅂ" and the next syllable begans as "ㅁ" or "ㄴ".
"ㄱ" changes to "ㅇ", "ㄷ" changes to "ㄴ", and "ㅂ" changes to "ㅁ".
ㄱ + ㅁ/ㄴ = ㄱ↠ㅇ
ㄷ + ㅁ/ㄴ = ㄷ↠ㄴ
ㅂ + ㅁ/ㄴ = ㅂ↠ㅁ
So 습니다 is pronunced [슴니다]
Love your profile picture! Also, is uncool a word? I thought the words for that was not cool.
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..
it sounds more like "matobsumnida" (not tasty) than "meotobsumnida" (not cool)
가수는 - Singer 멋없습니다 - It's not cool.
So, together it becomes -
가수는 멋없습니다 - The singer is not cool.
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".
I dislike the randomness of these sentences. I wish Duolingo were thematic.
Talking about school.
Talking about work.
Talking about entertainment.
sigh
Absolutely; it's wonderful that Duo provides so much free language learning, but if only they had got some advice on modern methodology before embarking on their courses.
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".
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
You have the change the particles in think, search about that and you'll understand a lot, isn't difficult
I'm confused... Doesn't "맛" means "taste" or "flavour"? then why in this sentence it means "cool"? I may be wrong but I'm just confused.
맛 means "flavor", yes that's correct. But, as I have observed, 맛없습니다 means "No taste" 멋없습니다 means "It's not cool".
