LEVEL 5 LESSON 7
In this lesson, we are going to introduce how to say as soon as you something or right after you do something
in Korean.

The key structure you need to learn in order to say this is - [-ja-ma-ja].

Conjugation
Verb stem + -

Examples:
[bo-da] = to see
+ - = [bo-ja-ma-ja] = As soon as you see/meet/look,

[kkeut-na-da] = to finish
+ - = [kkeut-na-ja-ma-ja] = As soon as it finishes/ends

Just like as soon as + S + V or right after + S + V is not a complete sentence in English, you still need to complete the sentence in Korean by adding other parts. Unlike in English, however, the tense is not applied to the -
part.

For example, even when you say something like As soon as I got there, I realized in English, you dont have to
say the to get part in the past tense in Korean. The tense of the entire sentence is expressed once through the
main verb of the sentence.

Ex)
.
[ga-ja-ma-ja jeon-hwa-reul hae-sseo-yo.]
= As soon as I went there, I made a phone call.

** Note that its just and not - the past tense is expressed only through the part,
the main and final verb of the sentence.
