The purpose of this study is to distinguish various meanings of the Korean adnominal endings '-ten' and '-essten', and to analyze the Chinese learner's use of those endings. Korean adnominal endings '-ten' and '-essten' have many similarities and differences in regard to the semantic functions. And when '-ten' and '-essten' combine with the temporal adverbs, verbs, and nouns, they are also restricted. For these reasons, it is difficult to learn '-ten' and '-essten' for Chinese learners. To suggest the teaching methods of '-ten' and '-essten' for educators teaching Chinese learners, this study distinguished the similarities and differences in regard to the semantic functions base on precedent research. Secondly, this study examined the Chinese learner's use of '-ten' and '-essten' by analyzing their language corpus. Thirdly, this study analyzed the reasons for Chinese learners' performance errors.
