Like all the other verbs we've learned so far, 보다 is an active verb. We haven't learned the Korean passive yet. We won't learn the passive in this lesson either, but we will learn the verb 보다 in the passive voice and why we often use it in the passive in Korean and how to use it correctly. If we happen to see a cat walking by on the street, we would say, "Ich sehe eine Katze" (I see a cat) in English. In Korean, however, we would use the Korean passive, so literally, we would say, "Eine Katze wird von mir gesehen" (A cat is seen by me). 📚 Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/koreanischk... 📚 Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/koreanischk... 📚 ... Now we just need to learn how to use 보다 in the Korean passive. We won't learn everything there is to know about the passive voice in this lesson. The Korean passive is a bit complicated. We'll learn it later, in the advanced lessons. To put the verb 보다 into the Korean passive, we add 이 to the verb stem. In the infinitive, 이 is placed between the verb stem and 다. 보이다 therefore means "to be seen." That's how the Korean passive works, but other verbs also use syllables other than 이 to form the passive. In this lesson, we'll only learn how to form the passive of 보다 using the syllable 이. 고양이가 보여요. = The cat is seen. 고양이가 보여요, “the cat is seen,” is what we say when we see the cat by chance, not when we are looking at it intentionally. So how do we say it when we are looking at the cat intentionally? We use the same sentence, but 보다 is in the active voice. 고양이를 봐요. = I see a cat. 고양이를 봐요 could be translated as “I am looking at the cat,” because we are looking at the cat consciously and intentionally, because we wanted to look at the cat. Perhaps because it is very cute or very beautiful. So we use 보다 when we are looking at something intentionally, while we use 보이다 when we see something by chance or incidentally. We could translate 보다 as "look at" and 보이다 as "see." N이/가 보이다 When we want to show someone something and ask if they see what we want to show, we always use 보이다. If the cat walks past the window and I want to show it to Gerhard, I would ask, "고양이가 보여요?", "Do you see the cat?" Gerhard may have already seen the cat, but even if he did, he saw it by chance. Therefore, I am literally asking if the cat is seen by him. We are using the passive voice. If I were to ask 고양이를 봐요?, for example, it could be that Gerhard has been staring at the cat the whole time, and I want to make sure with the question whether he is really staring at the cat. In this case, Gerhard would be consciously looking at the cat, whereas if I ask “고양이가 보여요?” (Do you see the cat?), he may or may not have seen the cat, but it's certain he isn't consciously looking at it. I ask him this way because I want to show him the cat. In Lesson 36, we learned how to ask someone for something in Korean by adding 아/어 주세요 to the verb stem:    • Jemanden auf Koreanisch um etwas bitten | ...   For example, we can say “buy something for me” or “cook something for me.” We can combine 보이다 (see the cat) with 아/어 주세요 (see the cat) to ask someone to show us something. As always, we remove 다 (see the cat) and add 어 주세요 (see the cat) because of 이 (see the cat). This results in 보여 주세요. N처럼/같이 보이다 In the previous lesson, we learned how to express similarity or equality with 처럼/같이. When we use 처럼/같이 with 보여요, 보여요 no longer means "to see," but rather "to look like." So, 서윤이가 곰처럼 보여요 literally means "Seoyun is seen like a bear," but the sentence means "Seoyon looks like a bear." 서윤이가 곰처럼 보여요. = Seoyou looks like a bear. A아/어 보이다 With nouns 처럼/같이 보이다, we can say that one noun looks like another noun. We can use 보이다 as 아/어 보이다, but also attach it to adjectives to describe what something looks like. To do this, we attach 아 보이다 to the verb stem if the last vowel is ㅏ or ㅗ, and 어 보이다 to the verb stem if the last vowel is anything other than ㅏ or ㅓ. In Lesson 70, we learned 겠:    • Mit 겠 auf Koreanisch eine Vermutung ausdrü...   With 겠, we express a guess. We use 겠 when we react directly to something. For example, if I see a photo of food on Instagram, I can use 맛있겠어요. to express that I suspect the food is delicious. Alternatively, I could also say 맛있어 보여요. With 맛있어 보여요, I'm saying that the food looks delicious. N같이/처럼 A아/어 보이다 We can also use N처럼/같이 and A아/어 보이다 to express that one noun has similar or identical properties to another noun. When we say 게르하드 씨는 곰처럼 귀여워 보여요, it means Gerhard looks as cute as a bear.
