Hoya the tiger

This unit is part of the Level 4 Pass — opening soon.

Until then, you can find your level with the level test, or start at the beginning of Level 1.

  • V/A-(으)ㄹ 정도(로) · N 정도To the point of… (a degree shown by its effect)
  • V/A-(으)ㄴ/는/(으)ㄹ 만큼 · N만큼As much as… (matching one amount or degree to another)
  • V-다시피 · V-다시피 하다As you know / as I said · practically doing it
  • V/A-듯이 · V/A-(으)ㄴ/는 듯이Just as… / as if… (the manner of an action)

Sori’s tips in this unit

  • 정도, 만큼 and 처럼: three ways to measure
  • -(으)ㄴ/는 만큼 as 'since', and -는 정도 for a real level
  • As I said: 말했다시피, 말했듯이 or 말했잖아요?
  • -듯이 idioms, and -는 것처럼 in everyday speech

The scene opens

  1. Sori

    호야 씨, 한 시간이나 늦었어요. 무슨 일이 있었어요?

    Hoya, you're a whole hour late. What happened?

  2. Hoya

    죄송해요, 소리쌤. 호떡 가게 앞에 줄이 끝이 안 보일 정도로 길었어요.

    Sorry, Sori-ssaem. The queue in front of the hotteok shop was so long you couldn't see the end of it.

  3. Sori

    호떡 하나 사려고 한 시간을 기다렸어요?

    You waited an hour to buy one hotteok?
