Korean Sentence Connectors With Billy Go | #8: As Soon As
My free course on YouTube teaches over 270 sentence connectors over 20 lessons. This week’s newest episode is about how to say “as soon as,” and covers the forms ~자마자, ~자, ~는 대로, ~대로, ~기가 무섭게, and more.
Hello Billy,
I have a question about the last example that you used for “~자”: I am confused as to why we wouldn’t not use “~자마자” since the person that turns off the air conditioner and the person that feels the heat are the same. Why do we use here “~자”?
Many thanks for all the work you do. It is awesome! Have a great weekend! Babette
The actual Korean sentence doesn’t use the subject as a person, but as “heat” so it’s fine 🙂 It’s a passive voice sentence (느껴지다). It only translates that way in natural English.
