To not give/offer in Korean 🇰🇷

안 주다 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of 안 as meaning “not” in Korean, and 주다 as “to give.” Combining them, 안 주다 literally means “not give.”
• Remember that in Korean, the negation comes before the verb, so practice placing 안 before other verbs you learn.

Explanations:
• 주다 is the basic verb for “to give/offer.”
• 안 is an adverb that negates the verb following it. Together, 안 주다 means “to not give/offer.”
• In formal contexts or when addressing someone respectfully, the honorific form 드리다 (and its negated form 드리지 않다) may be used instead of 주다.

• 주지 않다 – another grammatical way to express the negation of 주다
