Daily Korean practice in the comments! Feel free to write your own Korean sentences or correct my mistakes 🙂

Today I did TTMIK level 4 lesson 8 which was on -도 돼요 and 안 -도 돼요 which mean “it is okay if you do…” and “it is okay if you don’t do…”
1. 제이비 오빠! 피곤하는 것 같아요. 안 공연해도 돼요. 오늘 쉬어도 돼요.
2. 난 한테 안 가르쳐도 돼요. 저는 교과서를 읽어도 돼요.
3. 오늘 날씨가 좋아요. 나는 학교에 걸어도 돼요.

1. JB oppa! You seem tired. You don’t have to perform. You can rest today.
2. You don’t have to teach me. I can read the textbook.
3. The weather is nice today. I can walk to school.

1- I think that 피곤해 보여요 would be more appropriate in this context.

Would you mind explaining the difference? I’m not familiar with that 🙂

Something 보여요 would mean “you look” (tired/ busy/ happy…); 것 같아요 would rather mean be alike / similar or be used to make a guess.
I’m sorry I’m so poor at explaining… 😣 Do you use Naver translate ? (http://translate.naver.com/#/ko/en/%20%EA%B2%83%20%EA%B0%99%EC%95%84.%20): they have a list of examples which could help you grasp better the meaning.

1- 안 와도 돼요, 회의가 중요하지 않아요.
2- 그 책을 빌려도 돼요, 지금 안 읽으니까요.
3- 여기 기다려도 돼여, 곧 올 거에요.

1- You don’t have to come, it is not an important meeting.
2- You may borrow this book, since I’m not reading it at the moment.
3- You can wait here, he is coming soon.

1- 이 회의는 중요하지 않아요. A better correction is 중요한 회이가 아니에요. Because in your sentence you don’t put the “it” part in the korean sentence. The corrected sentence doesnt either but it’s assumed in it because the verb comes first similar to they way a verb starts a sentence and assumes the subject as “i”.
2- 그 책을 빌려도 돼요, 지금 안 읽으니까요.
3- 여기 기다려도 돼여, 곧 올 거에요.

On top of Delsatu and seoul_searcher’s corrections 🙂
1. 공연 안 해도 돼요. “안” should come before the verb.
3. 걸어 가도 돼요.

3. Where did 가 come from?
Thanks so much! I found this gif of my Day6 bias and couldn’t resist sharing it 🙂 (I’ll get back to your groups on the next one 😉)

3. 걷다 is the original verb but when you put direction in it changes to 걸어 __다. If we fill in the blank the usual directions are 걸어 가다 (walk to) or 걸어 오다 (walking from towards a “now” location). So in you case, you have a destination “school” you are walking to. So you are “walking towards school” according to my translation, but also it simply means “walking to school”.
