Hyunwoo here. : ) Here is a very common mistake that a lot of Korean learners (and even some Korean people) make. When you want to say, “what should I do?” or “what are we supposed to do?” you can say 어떡해? But a lot of people write 어떻게? What’s the difference? 어떡해? vs 어떻게? 어떡해 is a combination of 어떻게 +해. So if you just write 어떻게, it means “how” or “using what kind of method” so it does not convey the complete meaning of “What am I supposed to do?” Well, when you are SPEAKING, those two phrases sound the same, but when you write, it is important to be able to distinguish the two. So remember : ) 어떻게 = “how” 어떡해 = “What am I supposed to do?” Thanks for reading! – Hyunwoo Out of the four above, two are wrong! Can you guess which ones they are? ^^ If you said it was the last two, you are correct! ^^ The last one is most obviously wrong, but I’ve seen some people using the 3rd one and probably the beginners might be a little confused between the first two! First, let’s compare between 어떡해 and 어떻해. 어떡해 is the shortened version of 어떠하게 해 which roughly translates to ‘how/what should we do’. When a phrase is shortened, the vowels generally get axed before the consonants do. So if you apply that rule, it becomes 어떠ㅎ게 해 –> 어떻게 해 –> 어떻ㄱ 해. And finally the ㅎ get axed to form 어떡해. Pretty logical right?! And if you look at the pronunciation, you will understand why it’s not 어떻해. 어떡해 [어떠케] while 어떻해 becomes [어떠태] which is wrong. And now for 어떻게 versus 어떡해. Although they are pronounced as [어떠케] and [어떠캐] respectively, it’s very very similar and a cause for much confusion. 어떻게 comes from 어떻다 which means something like ‘be how / how is ..’. 예) 이거 어때요? 어떡해, on the other hand, comes from 어떡하다 / 어떠하게 하다, which means ‘how/what should we do’ roughly. 예) 그 사람 안 오면 어떡해? I hope that makes things a little clearer! NOTE: Explanations adapted from 인터넷에서 가장 많이 틀리는 한국어. It’s an awesome book and I’ve reviewed it before. It’s written entirely in Korean so I thought I’ll share some of the interesting bits here. Please go get the book if you can read Korean! ISBN: 89-8499-594-0 |
