NaeNae Recommends: Favorite K-pop Translator "KookieCane14"

If you are looking for the best place to go for easy to read Korean and English subs for studying, KookieCane14 has the BEST Youtube channel. This user used to also be known as KookieCane13 and there are all kinds of wonderful videos there as well.

The translations are usually spot on, and the Korean subs are very easy to read and follow. Also a fan of the fact they don't only translate more than just the kiddy k-pop groups. For example I'm a little in love with K. Will and he has his own playlist. I could listen to Come to My Crib all day long.

KIIP Level 5: Unit 22 Video Summary

Korean Grammar: I thought so

KIIP GRAMMAR NOTES

동사/형용사 + 을 줄 몰랐다/알랐다 = I didn't know that would happen / I thought that would happen

Important Breakdown

동사/형용사 + 을 = future tense

줄 = a fact (marker has been dropped)

모르다/알다 + 었다 = something you didn't know/knew in the past

An awkward, but more direct translation that helps in some cases:

난 너가 갈 줄 몰랐어요. You were going is a fact I didn't know.
난 너가 갈 줄 알았어요. You were going is a fact I knew.
