@all.libertas: how to say "wouldn't have" in korean, and it's just one word away from "would've." 안 샀을 거야 (an sa-sseul geo-ya) means i wouldn't have bought it. it comes from 사다 (sa-da), to buy. first you need would've, 샀을 거야 (sa-sseul geo-ya). then put 안 (an), not, right in front. 가다 (ga-da) becomes 안 갔을 거야 (an ga-sseul geo-ya), i wouldn't have gone. 먹다 (meok-da) becomes 안 먹었을 거야 (an meo-geo-sseul geo-ya), i wouldn't have eaten. how do you get would've? take the past tense, like 샀어, i bought it, drop 어 and add 을 거야. then 안 goes in front, and that's it. if you really mean it, add 나라면 (na-ra-myeon), if it were me, and 절대 (jeol-dae), never. 나라면 절대 안 샀을 거야 means if it were me, i would never have bought it. it's what you say when your friend shows you something they really shouldn't have bought. a few more things. with 하다 verbs, 안 sits in the middle, so 공부하다 becomes 공부 안 했을 거야, i wouldn't have studied. in writing you'll also see 사지 않았을 거야, same meaning but more formal. and if you mean you couldn't, not that you wouldn't, use 못 instead. 못 갔을 거야 means i couldn't have gone. to someone older or someone you just met, end it with 거예요. 마시다 (ma-si-da) means to drink. so how do you say "i wouldn't have drunk it"? answer below. #LearnKorean #KoreanGrammar #KoreanForBeginners #KoreanLanguage #KoreanPhrases
