The opposition "but" in Korean

Dans ce cours : 지만 / 하지만

In this chapter, we're going to learn how to create an opposition between two elements. In English, this corresponds to "but", "however", "nevertheless", etc…

"But" in a single Korean sentence

It is possible to express opposition in only one sentence. For that, one simply links the two elements of the sentence by adding -지만 after the stem of the first verb, in the following manner:
[Action 1: … Stem]지만 [Action 2]

제 개는 귀엽지만 성격이 나빠요.
→ My dog is cute, but he has a bad personality.

그 가수는 노래를 잘하지만 안 유명해.
→ This singer sings well, but she's not famous.

민지 얼굴은 예쁘지만 성격은 별로야.
→ Minji's face is pretty but her personality isn't very good.

그 친구는 무섭게 생겼지만 사실 착해.
→ That friend looks scary, but he’s actually nice.

주말에 서울에 갈 거지만 민주를 볼 시간은 없어.
