  • Let’s talk about punctuation rules and styles in Korean - this includes all of the most common things you’ll want to know. Most things work the same as in English (since punctuation in Korean came from Western influence), but a significant amount does not.

    I always found reading Korean sentences difficult because of the lack of komma's !
    Knowing what verb endings to look for would be very helpful !

    in my country we write the date like so : (day).(month).(year)г.
    example:21.03.2008г.
    г. comes from година wich means year and its optional
    (i dont know who would like to know this...lol)
    Edit : Thx for the likes

      In Germany we write it the same way as you (minus the cyrillic letter of course), while in Britain we also use 21/03/2008 for example.
      I am not aware of an official rule so I think you can also write 21.3.2008 or, 21/3/2008 (without the 0). And obviously you can also say 21st March 2008 in English or 21. März 2008 in German

    Best video i've seen on Korean punctuation marks and uses. 👍🏻
    Horizontal writing adapts heavily from American english, vertical writing is kind of similar to Japanese. (with some differences) 🤷‍♂️

    Just to answer you in the video : French uses double arrows called "guillemets" to quote what someone is saying. But nowadays a lot of people use " because it's easier on the keyboard. Word processors would change it automatically but stuff like internet browser won't. (it's not the same as putting 2 < or > but it is a good alternative).
    French also use the rule that if the punctuation has 2 strokes, you put 2 spaces (before and after), it it has only one it's none or one after.
    I am french, learning korean from english. let me tell you, punctuation is VERY confusing haha

    Interesting video! Another symbol I've seen, which is not typically a punctuation sign, yet it's used to separate paragraphs, or as a bullet point, is the ※ sign, 참고표 (chamgopyo, “reference mark”) or 당구장표 (danggujang-pyo, “billiard-table mark”). Interesting that it may have derived from the Chinese character 米 (uncooked rice).

    Another great topic I'd love to learn more about is spacing. It can be super tricky in Korean, right?

    I think that the lack of the space with regard to parentheses is due to the fact that CJK parentheses are full-width, not half-width (as are all punctuation marks in Latin alphabet-based fonts) so, in a sense, the spaces are “built in.” (I’m _always_ telling my Korean and Chinese friends to _put the space in_ (!) before the left parenthesis when they write in English.)
    One use of the tilde I’ve seen that is Korean-related, if not strictly-speaking Korean, is to show some grammatical pattern that is bound to something preceding it (e.g., ~ㄹ/을 수 있다). The tilde works better than a dash because, if you're searching for that pattern online, the dash can be interpreted as “without” and would return results _without_ the part right after it.

    I have seen this use of a full stop in Korean that I haven't seen used in English when we would use a comma. - 피곤해요. 그렇지만 영회 보고 싶아요. I'm tired, but I want to see a movie. This example is from TTMIK's Level 2 book pp38. Are there other examples like this please?
    Thank you Billy for all your lessons :) I have been studying with TTMIK but when I finished Level 3 I thought I would work my way through your Beginner videos as a revision. It has been really good and I've also learnt more grammar points that I wasn't aware of:)

    I've seen in quite a few Korean programmes that they also use "(?)" after a word or even a whole sentence, so like 반가워요(?) or 할 수 있어(?) and we also use (?) in Italy but I didn't quite understand if they use it in the same way. We use it for example to say that we're not pretty sure about what we're saying or that we're not sure IF we should say the thing we're saying. So I was wondering if you could help, 고맙습니다.
