Unit 13: A little, Very, Really

Let's make our sentences richer in Easy Korean by using adverbs to describe how much.

1. 조금 (A little / A bit)

Used to describe a small amount or degree. Often shortened to 좀 in spoken Korean. - 조금 바빠요. (I am a little busy.) - 물 좀 주세요. (Please give me a little water.)

2. 아주 (Very)

Used to emphasize the degree of a state or action. - 이 사과는 아주 맛있어요. (This apple is very delicious.)

3. 정말 / 진짜 (Really)

Used to emphasize truth or intensity. '진짜' is very common in casual speech. - 정말 감사합니다. (Thank you really much.) - 이거 진짜 매워요! (This is really spicy!)

4. 너무 (Too / Very)

Originally, 너무 meant "too much" (in a negative way). But in modern Korean, it is widely used to mean "very" in both positive and negative contexts. - 너무 비싸요. (It is too expensive.) - 너무 좋아요! (It is so good!)
