Korean Learn (Level 2 part 14) [-do for verbs]

now we wanna learn Using -도 [do] with verbs

Using -도 [do] with nouns and pronouns is relatively simple, since you just have to add -도 [do] after a noun or a pronoun as explained in the previous lesson.

Let us review.
물 주세요. [mul ju-se-yo.] = Give me water, please.
물도 주세요. [mul-do ju-se-yo.] = Give me water, too, please.

내일 갈 거예요. [nae-il gal geo-ye-yo.] = I will go tomorrow.
내일도 갈 거예요. [nae-il-do gal geo-ye-yo.] = I will go (again) tomorrow, too.

Now, in order to use -도 with verbs, we need to learn how to change a verb into a noun

.
Using - 도 with verbs
=> Noun form of the verb + -도 하다

You can’t just use -도 [do] with the verb itself, and you have to change the verb into the noun form. By doing this and adding the verb 하다 [hada], you are literally saying “to do + the verb in the noun form + also”. It may sound complicated but this is no different from any other verb conjugation. Just remember -도 하다 [-do hada] as a set.

How do you change a verb into a noun?

There are a few different ways to change a verb into a noun. This is similar to using verbs in the “to do” and “doing” format and also using the nouns for the verbs (i.e. act and action, sing and song, etc.) but today we are looking at just one of those ways.

Adding -기 [-gi] to the verb stem to change a verb into a noun


example
보다 [bo-da] = to see
Noun form: 보 + -기 = 보기 [bo-gi]보다 --> 보기도 하다 [bo-gi-do ha-da] = to also see, to even see

먹다 [meok-da] = to eat
Noun form: 먹 + -기 = 먹기 [meok-gi]먹기 --> 먹기도 하다 [meok-gi-do ha-da] = to also eat, to even eat


More examples
잡다 [jap-da] = to catch--> 잡기도 하다 [jap-gi-do ha-da] = to also catch, to even catch

팔다 [pal-da] = to sell--> 팔기도 하다 [pal-gi-do ha-da] = to also sell, to even sell

사다 [sa-da] = to buy--> 사기도 하다 [sa-gi-do ha-da] = to also buy, to even buy


Note that verbs that are in the form of “Noun + 하다” already (i.e. 공부하다, 청소하다, 노래하다, 준비하다, 요리하다, etc) don’t have to be changed in this manner. You can just separate the noun part from 하다 and add -도 after the noun part. (i.e. 공부도 하다, 청소도 하다, 노래도 하다, 준비도 하다, 요리도 하다, etc)

공부하다 = to learn
청소하다 = to clean
노래하다 = to sing
준비하다 = to prepare
요리하다 = to cook


Sample sentences 1.

저는 영어도 가르쳐요. [jeo-neun yeong-eo-do ga-reu-chyeo-yo.] = I teach English as well.

저 는 영어를 가르치기도 해요. [jeo-neun yeong-eo-reul ga-reu-chi-gi-do hae-yo.]= I also teach English.= I even teach English.= I also work as an English teacher.

Sample sentences 2.

컴퓨터도 고쳐요. [keom-pyu-teo-do go-chyeo-yo.] = I fix computers as well.

컴퓨터를 고치기도 해요. [keom-pyu-teo-reul go-chi-gi-do hae-yo.]= I also fix computers.= I even fix computers.
