아니에요 (Not to be) in Korean || Informal

Now, we will learn how to politely and informally write and say sentences like:

👉 "It is not (a) noun"

in Korean.

In Korean, we achieve this using 아니에요 (anieyo), signifying "not to be." This is commonly used in casual or informal conversations.

I've introduced specific nouns below to aid in understanding the sentence structure. Familiarize yourself with these nouns before proceeding:

Written Syntax:

Apply these syntaxes when writing.

for nouns ending with a consonant sound:

Noun + 이 아니에요 (i anieyo) = It is not (a) noun.

Note:

• 이is a subject particle. Its meaning is not crucial.
• Maintain a space between이and아니에요.

Examples:

for nouns ending with a vowel sound:

Noun + 가 아니에요 (ga anieyo) = It is not (a) noun.

Note:

• 가is a subject particle. Understanding its meaning is unnecessary.
• Keep space between가and아니에요.

Examples:

Spoken Syntax:

Use this syntax when speaking.

Noun + 아니에요 (anieyo) = It is not (a) noun.

Note:

• 이/가is often omitted.
• Making the sentence more informal.
• Certainly, you can also utilize Written Syntax while speaking.

Examples:

Note:
Keep a space between a noun and아니에요.

Remember:

In Written Syntax, every noun ending with a consonant should have a subject particle starting with a vowel sound. Conversely, every noun ending with a vowel should have a subject particle starting with a consonant sound—like opposite attraction 🧲.

Finally, we have these sentences with their Korean meanings and pronunciations:

1. It's not food.

2. It's not a bag.

3. It's not a cat.

4. It's not an apple.
