“I dream a dream.”
꾸다 is the verb for to dream. 꿈 is the noun form of the verb: a dream.
This is similar to another sentence in this lesson: 자다→잠 (sleep)
By adding ㅁ to a verb root, you nominalize (“noun-ify”) it. (Things get a little tricky with verb roots that end in consonants, but there are regular rules and you will probably learn them in much later lessons.)
anyone else completely struggling to retain information aside from "dog, I, man, woman, book, and room?"
You could also learn on the website talk to me in korean. Com. It's free and each lesson has an audio clip for pronunciation. I love studying with both
Yes, but using strengthen which makes new sentences from sll the lessons already passed. Have to go over old lessons until answers start to seem obvious.
+library, singer, sing, swim, park, and child
However yes. It's totally frusterating!!
It technically is "I dream a dream." However, "I dream," (my answer) was accepted and I agree with it because it is simplifying an otherwise redundant sentence.
I too am confused. I've always written "I dream" (even though it sound(ed)(s) wrong), because it never dawned that the answer was "I dream a dream"; yet I always get it right; but I just realized that there were comments, hence my being here. Some sentences DO seem inconsistent, so THAT'S confusing! ALSO, I've emailed Duolingo twice, in the last week (today's 9/24), regarding a glitch, and I've yet to hear from them! I CAN'T get past Adverbs, Lesson 3 because there's NOTHING to "select" AND the TEST OUT has the same, exact glitch; so I'm hoping someone reads this...please!!!
As a native (British) English speaker, I don't think "I dream a dream" is that uncommon, it's even referenced in past tense form in a Susan boyle song
I think that this isn't the present, it just says "I dream", and not "I am dreaming right now". The thing you are saying would be "저는 꿈을 꿉고 있어요", because it is happening right now. -고 있다 is used for actions happening at the moment of speaking. If this isn't correct, somebody please correct me.
It is still a perfectly fine sentence to say, "I dream." For present progressive tense, I think there is another way to phrase it. Translated, to say you are dreaming, you would turn it into an adjective... "I am a dreaming person." -> "I am a person who is dreaming"
I'm surprised I don't see any EXO fans here talking about the song 꿈. It's a lullaby
Does that translate to "I dream of dreams"? What is the literal translation of this?
It seems like the answers aren't consistent. For this one, it's "I dream a dream," but when you change the subject to the woman, the answer is "The woman has a dream."
dreaming~, yeah yeah yeah yeah, all around the world now, all around the world now
If we write 저는 갑니다 (Umm sorry hope you understand there is double ㄱ I couldn't type it) it should be accepted right?
From what I have observed
을 shows that an action is being acted upon that noun which this case is "dream"
니다 shows the tense (which present tense) of the sentence. 꿉니다 shows the action that is happening, which is dreaming/to dream.
Therefore I think the redundancy is appropriate because it shows in which way the sentence must be perceived.
