Lesson Notes
17.1. Uses of the Infinitive III: Turning Descriptive Verbs into Processive Verbs with -어해요
1.

Everyone was envious of the groom.
2.

3.

The Korean language does not ordinarily allow a speaker to state flatly what another person feels or thinks: such inner processes can be known only secondhand, and Korean grammar requires a separate, more indirect pattern for those occasions when one needs to refer to them.
One way of doing this is to combine descriptive verbs that refer to emotions and feelings (“sensory verbs”) like dislikes and is glad with 해요. This combination externalizes the emotion and, in grammar, changes the descriptive verb into a processive one. Observe the list of such sensory verbs on the next page.
All of the expressions in -어해요 in the second column are transitive: they take as direct objects a noun expression with the particle 을 ~ 를. Here is an illustration of the difference in usage between describing your own emotions and those of someone else.
