Let's learn about "그는 내 타입이 아니에요"

그는 내 타입이 아니에요 : He’s not my type; He’s not my kind of guy; I don’t like that type of man; That type of man is not my cup of tea.

* 취향에 맞는 것 / 기호 : one’s cup of tea

ex)

A. 그녀는 내 타입이 아니야 : She’s not my type.

B. 한 번 만나 보고 어떻게 아니? : How can you tell after just one date?

[other expressions]
- 그는 내 타입이 아니다. (to younger people or friends)
- 그는 내 타입이 아니네. (to younger people or friends)
- 그는 내 타입이 아니야. (to younger people or friends)
- 그는 내 타입이 아니네요. (honourific by ‘-요’)
- 그는 내 타입이 아니에요. (honourific by ‘-요’)
- 그는 내 타입이 아닙니다. (formal; honourific by ‘ㅂ’)

[explanations]
* 그 : he
* -는 : a particle makes 그 subjective after a word ends in a vowel

* 내 : a short form of 나의(my)
* 나 : I (non-honourific word)
* -의 : a suffix makes 나 possesive form

* 타입 : type
* -이 : a particle makes 타입 the topic of the senetence after a word ends in a consonant

* 아니다 : be not <--> 이다(be)

* 아닙니다 : 아니(the stem of 아니다) + -ㅂ니다(an honourific descriptive verb ending suffix)

* a verb + -다 / -네 / -야 : a non-honourific descriptive verb ending suffix
* a verb + -네 + -요 : an honourific ending suffix
* a verb + -에요 / ㅂ니다 : an honourific descriptive verb ending suffix by ‘-요’ / ‘-ㅂ’

* 그녀 : she <-- 그(that) + 여/녀(woman); When "female" is used as the first letter of the word, it is changed to "female" by 두음법칙

* 두음법칙이라? (What is 두음법칙?)

It is kind of initial law. There are ㄴ and ㄹ initial laws in Korean. 

ㄴ initial law means that you should not use ㄴ in initial syllable, when vowel is ㅣ , ㅑ , ㅕ , ㅛ , ㅠ.
남녀(o) : you can use ㄴ ㅕ, because it is not initial sound.
녀자(x) 여자(o) : you can’t use ㄴ ㅕ, but you should use ㅇ ㅕ, because it is located in initial sound. 

One more thing, ㄹ initial law means that you should not use ㄹ in initial syllable.
로인(x) 노인(o)

However, you know, there is no rule without exception

* 한 : one
* 번 : a unit counts numbers

* 한 번 : one time

* 만나다 : meet
* 보다 : see

* 만나 보다 : meet and see

* 보고 : 보(the stem of 보다) + -고(and; and then)

* 어떻게 : how

* 알다 : [ㄹ 불규칙] know

* 아니 : 알(the stem of 알다; ㄹ erased before ㄴ) + -니?(a non-homourific interrogative verb ending suffix)
