Day 9: 안 + 동사

Level 1 · Korean Grammar in 10 Minutes a Day

▶️ This lesson starts at 14:43 in the Level 1 video — press play and repeat after me!

Grammar Point

안 + 동사
= "don't / doesn't ___."
Regular verb 안 right before the verb — 마시다 → 안 마셔요
하다 verb (noun + 하다) 안 between the noun and 해요 — 공부하다 → 공부 안 해요

💡 안 vs -지 않아요? Both are correct. 안 is more casual. That's all you need for now.
