KIIP Level 1: Unit 6–Essential Words and Phrases about Native Numbers, Times, and Basic Verbs

 

In KIIP Level 1, Unit 6, we explore native Korean numbers, time expressions, and basic verbs. This unit is crucial for discussing schedules, arranging meet-ups, and expressing time-related actions.

    (Lunch break is from 12 to 1.)
  • 수업은 9시부터 시작해요.
    (The class starts at 9:00.)

2. Negation in Korean: grammar

The word is used to negate a verb, meaning "not." It is placed before the verb:

  • 출근 해요.

  • 공원에 가요.
    (I’m not going to the park.)
