Key ideas in Coreano Cotidiano: Fluidez y Matices

- Los adjetivos descriptivos usan -ㄴ데 tras vocal y -은데 tras consonante final.
- Las raíces con 있다/없ta siguen la regla de los verbos y toman -는데.
- Cerrar la frase con -는데요 deja el resto en el aire para suavizar un 'no' implícito.
- Permite al interlocutor deducir la negativa sin obligar al hablante a rechazar abiertamente.
- El sufijo de cortesía -요 al final mantiene el registro 존댓말 intacto aunque la frase quede incompleta.
- -아/어서 expresa vínculos de causa natural o reacciones emotivas espontáneas
- No se usa -아/어서 cuando el hablante busca justificar una exigencia o juicio personal
