"Let's not study today."

Translation: 오늘 공부하지 맙시다.

[LastSeong]

this is my favorite grammar form in korean. you hear it all the time. I just love it. litterally translates to "let's not"

[yoongiibae]

Me to my mind EVERYDAY

[KYHwi]

"오늘'은' 공부하지 맙시다" is more natural form

[Nemomeori]

I think it depends on the situations

[nhasnar]

When i put a lot of effort to learn language, but suddenly this phrases came out... Me:

[MackenzieC14]

is that what it said during one of the lessons? if so that is really funny!

[angela.h82]

The ㅂ or "b - sound" in 맙시다 shouldnt be prounounced, it should be silent

[Nemomeori]

I always pronounce it as a native.

[Tytonnn]

마시다 is to drink. You should be pronouncing the ㅂ.

[HobiTae]

why do we add 하지 after 공부?

[Silverita91]

Because 'to study' is 'to do study' in Korean, so you're writing the negative form of 하다 (to do) that is 하지. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm learning this language too.

[Mir975943]

"to study" in Korean is 공부하다, which isn't conjugated

https://koreanjun.com/core-grammar/verb-conjugation-hada/

^As this website outlines, and as Silverita91 touched upon, 하다 means "do"

공부 means "studying"

So, when put together, 공부하다 literally translates as "to do studying"-->"to study"

I learned this from another commenter on a separate post (and from the websites linked below), but when -지 않다 is added to a verb, that creates a negative statement (not ____). In this case, 공부하지 압시다 means "let's not study"

(the -시다 ending is used when saying, "let's ___" [See https://sayhikorean.blogspot.com/2018/11/korean-grammar-v-asking-opinions-and_10.html?m=1])

[miraiguess]

does 맙시다 basically mean not in this sense?

[Tytonnn]

공부하 - Study
지 마 - Negative
ㅂ시다 - Let's
