Did not drink (polite) in Korean 🇰🇷

안 마셨어요 info.

Tips to Remember:
• “안” means “not” and is used to negate the verb.
• The base verb is 마시다, meaning “to drink.” Notice that 마시 is shortened before adding the ending.
• In 마셨어요, the ending –셨어요 marks the polite past tense. Remember that you add the past ending to 변형된 (modified) verb stems.

Explanations:
• 안 마셨어요 literally means “did not drink” in a polite past tense form.
• The negative particle 안 is placed before the verb to indicate a negation without changing the verb’s form.
• An alternative negation structure uses “지 않다” as in 마시지 않았어요, which carries the same overall meaning.

• 마시지 않았어요 (masiji anasseoyo) also means “did not drink.”
