- goodie. ive been really curious about suffixes. is there a trend?

im getting a bit confused with the (nida) (chi) and (yo) sometimes i hear the word ani as in (no) but sometimes i hear it used as ani-da, ani-o. ana-chi(?)

i dont know if it\'s a stupid question but im a lazy learner, i learn by listening and copying. this holds a set back.

kamsaminda hanguk saram - cool site. very helpful.

actually what i dont understand is the (chi) suffix. (yo) and (imnida). i sorta get. but i wonder about the suffix chi. in this case.

ani(o) or ani(da) to just ani.

i tried listening to some korean audio file. a polite basic korean converstation. and i havent heard the \'chi\' suffix being used...is \'chi\' suffix a slang?

- hello, eager filipina learner of korean

No, chi is not a slang at all
its just the ending of the casual speech either when u ask something or when u answer somethin...like

aratji(or--chi)? means \'did u get it?\'
aratchi(with falling intonation) means \'i get it\'

is it help u?

what else?

jungmal kamsamida, sensingyim ^^ - it is really helpful. thank you very much. i have yet to read the webpage you suggested. i am still going thru some articles.

nanen arachi. hehe.

i havent really started learning the romanized version of korean yet. but i can recognize and remember some vowels and consonant now. now, i have a rough idea how the korean language was formed. i think it\'ll be more easy for me to remember hangul.

and if i bucthered the romanized korean with my ignorance. forgive me. ill repay it with my proper korean once i get around it.

yes u r quite right that u are really recommended to learn Hangeul first than romanized, which will guides u more effecient in learning korean language although it would be quite patient to get familiarized and to memorize the letters for the time being when u start it

wish ur success in improving ur korean profiency within sooner time
