Don't call me out like this, Duo.

[the_crait]

Duo wants you to get that streak up!

[Knoebel_Joseph]

Dont say 그녀... people will either laugh or be offended. Its only used in writing.

[Ash-Fred]

In spoken language, one might laugh, but it is not an offensive word. 그 여자, or politely 그 여자분, is also accepted.

When do you use -데 vs -지만?

[SvedishPlumber]

The recording for 게을러요 sounds like 게을로. Is this just a shortened or contracted pronunciatjon?

[Ash-Fred]

I think it's just mumbling for "러요". You may pronounce it normally ignoring the TTS for this one.

[MsShaddYLu]

How is "데" used for? Are they used as saying "but"??

[daeya_]

For this kind of phrase using "데" is like saying "but" also it can be like"however"
saying "예쁜데" is softer sounding than "예쁜지만".
Such as this phrase "좀 바쁜데 즐거웠어요" - (I'm) a little busy but (I) had fun/enjoyed."
But it does have many uses, If you keep going with this course it will teach many different ways "데" is used. keep going :)

[FA_Silence]

Why isn't it '그녀는 예뻐지만 게을러요.'?

[daeya_]

Using '데' makes it sound a bit softer.

[fmorillas85]

You have there the abbreviation of 예쁘다+그런데=예쁜데, and you can say as well 예쁘지만

[Vmk15]

Isn't "그녀는 여쁜데 게을립니다" also correct? What did I do wrong

[bluem0use]

게을러요 or 게으릅니다 is correct answer!

게으르-(-다) + -어요 -> 게을러요 because there is ㄹㄹ rule.

게으르-(-다) + -ㅂ니다 -> 게으릅니다

[GabrielCal174353]

So the "예쁜데" = ".. pretty, but.."??

[troublemaker_tw]

I just can't seem to pronounce 게을러요 right

[Barnabas972647]

Duo says 그녀는 예쁘나 게을러요. is also correct, but i can't explain myself why 예쁜나 should end with -나

[RWang2017]

How does 게으른 become 게을러?

[Ash-Fred]

게으르다 is the original form. It is a 르-irregular verb where the syllable 르 becomes ㄹㄹ before the ending -아/-어.

게으르 + -어(요) → 게을ㄹ + -어(요) → 게을러(요)

[PMIP19]

I wrote 그녀는 예쁜데 하지만 게을러요 and got it wrong. Why?

[troublemaker_tw]

~데 is but, and 하지만 is also but, so you wrote "she is pretty but but lazy"

[SUDIBTSOT7]

Can we say ~대 is 하지만 but used for 2 adjectives phrases rather than adjective clauses?
