The scene — Always, sometimes, never
Nujoom got a step-counting app and has appointed himself the group's fitness officer. Sama is holding the phone like it personally lied to him.
- 저는 매일 운동해요!I exercise every day!
- 앱에는 일주일에 한 번이에요.In the app, it's once a week.
- 화요일에는 안 해요. 화요일은 보통 자요.On Tuesday I don't. On Tuesday I usually sleep.
- 저는 가끔 걸어요.I walk sometimes.
The idea — Always, sometimes, never
항상 (always), 보통 (usually), 가끔 (sometimes), and 매일 (every day) go right before the verb, and 전혀 (never) needs 안 before the verb too — like 전혀 안 봐요 (never watch).
Next time someone asks how often you do something, you can answer in one clean Korean word instead of waving your hands around.
