Introducing oneself using Equational expressions

Àú´Â À̹μöÀÔ´Ï´Ù.
Çѱ¹ »ç¶÷ÀÌ¿¡¿ä.

  • Equational expressions indicate that N1 = N2. N ÀÌ¿¡¿ä is used when N(oun) ends in a consonant, and N¿¹¿ä is used when N ends in a vowel.

  • Negative equational construction: N1 =/= N2. ¾Æ´Ï¿¡¿ä is the negative counterpart of ÀÌ¿¡¿ä/¿¹¿ä, that is, meaning N1 is not  N2.

  • In conversation, the particle ÀÌ/°¡ for N2 is frequently omitted.
