*Tip: 그런데/근데 is the only sentence connector that has different


rules for Adjective and Verbs. (in most cases, adjectives and verbs
are treated pretty much the same.)

근데 : 2) By the way (sentence starter)


(when saying something out of the blue or to break silence)

근데 저 부탁 하나 해도 돼요?
근데 나 핸드폰 좀 빌려줄 수 있어?
근데 여기 진짜 예쁘다!
4. 그러나: “But” in a very formal sentence (usually used in writing)

Conjugation Form)

Present: Base Stem + 나


Past: Past Stem + 으나

Level of Formality (seriousness, not necessarily politeness)

그러나 > 하지만/그렇지만 > 그런데/근데


그런데/ 근데 are most commonly used in speaking, and most difficult to learn..
(oh the irony…)
