[Korean Archive]Han Gook beh wuh (Learn Korean!!)

[Jess]

Haha.. this thread is basically like the other thread, "Learn Japanese." I read in there that some people were interested in learning Korean, but no one really knew how... so I thought I would offer my Korean-speaking services!! :D There has got to be some advantage knowing some Korean and living in a Korean family.... so... basic words/phrases of today:

By the way, I don't know how to put korean in english words, so these are probably incorrect translations. I'm just typing them how you pronounce them, so please don't throw rocks at me if they're not perfectly translated into english words...

Ahn-nyung ha-seh-yo: Hello (formal)
Ahn-nyung: Hello (informal)
Yo-bo seh-yo: Hello? (as in answering the phone..)
Ahn-nyung-hee ga-seh-yo: Goodbye (if they're leaving)
Ahn-nyung-hee geh-seh-yo: Goodbye (if you're leaving)
Gam-sah hap-nee-da: Thank you
Ban-gap sup-nee-da: Nice to meet you (formal)
Bang-gah wuh: Nice to meet you (informal)
Byun-soh uh-dee-yip-nee-ga?: Where is the toilet?
Hwa-jang-shil uh-dee-ssuh?: Where is the bathroom?
Jeh-song hap-nee-dah: Sorry (formal)
Mee-yan-heh: Sorry (informal)
Ye: Yes
Ah-ni-yo: No
Cho-nun-____-im-ni-da: My name is ______.

Hahaha... that should get you through the introductions of a conversation. Tune in next time for "Han Gook beh wuh!!!" Hahahaha...

[Chun Li]

The grammer structure is similiar to Japanese, I believe.

What is the word for "Want" and "Eat" ?

What is the word for "I" ?

Is "want" "shi-po?"

[dudett09]

i only know how to say stupid/ idiot and eraser in krn

stupid: pabo (i believe?)
eraser: Jee-u- Geh

and also AISH

[Jess]

hahaha, lmao Chun Li... BASICALLY, your question is, how do you say, "I want to eat?"

Na: I
Shi-puh: Want
Muk-go: Eat
Na-bap muk-go shi-puh: I want to eat food
Muk-goo shi-puh: I want to eat
Bae-go-pah: I'm hungry

Bap generally means "food" but also means "rice."

Bap-joo-sae-yo: I want rice (polite)
Bap-jo: Give me rice (impolite)

Korean is kinda like Spanish; you don't need to always say "I" when you're saying something, it's implied. Like for spanish, "I am tired" would be "Estoy cansada" rather than "Yo estoy cansada." Same with Korean. Rather than "Na bap-joo-sae-yo" it can just be "Bap-joo-sae-yo."


Dudett, that's hilarious!! Why do you know how to say eraser?!? That's so random..... Pabo DOES mean stupid, btw....

The first things I learned in Korean were profanities and "inappropiate" words, like penis and b*tch and stuff. I don't think I'm allowed to post those here, though. If I am, then.. woo, I have a long list for you guys.

Aish is a typical thing that all Koreans say, I think. Even though they never learned it, I think it's like NATURAL or something. I haven't met a Korean that doesn't say "AISH" when they're frustrated. I don't even know what aish means. Weird..

Do you guys want to "learn" Korean by me answering questions, or by topics (like, what to say in a restaurant, what the names of people are in your family like brother and sister...)? Also, I know how to read Korean.. so if anyone wants to know how to read the Korean characters then I could help with that too. Does everyone's computers read Korean like mine automatically reads Chinese?

RANDOM WORD OF THE MOMENT:
Ban-gu: Fart

[dudett09]

haha! i know ...its wierd. HUNTER is overpopulated with krn and other azn's so there are lil groupies in my class..

theres this lil "jee u geh crew" in my class. they jsus fool around and such. good friends tho

[xiaoli]

I think my NJ star program can read Korean.
Maybe you could type out the alphabet for us? ^_^

"Aish', that would probably be equivalent to what "aiya" is in Chinese, I think.

Sarang hae oh~~
that's all I know :]

[bubbletgurl]

HAHAHA. i was just abouta post up the ban go, fart thing.. hehe.. and also
yak sok - promise [i learned from h.o.t. song (^_~) "the promise of h.o.t." which wasn't even a promise!!! .\/.]
my chinese girlfriends and i r gonna take korean our first quarter at uw this fall!!! FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN :o) we can get some hot korean guys to tutor us.. heh.. heh..jp!
oppa - brother
hyung - boss or like "dah guh" in mandarin
i'm currently watching "glass shoes" IT'S SOOO GOOD.. so i'm picking up a lot more korean here and there.. i've learned some from "autumn story" "winter sonata"...etc! heh..

[Jess]

Hahaha.. actually, I think 'hyung' means older brother, but with a lot of added respect. So you may affectionately call your older guy teacher 'hyung'.

[babyxv]

if you want, you can go to http://strawberry-rock.org/~aheeyah and theres a section where you can learn the korean alphabet and learn to romanize. i tried and i got really confused T_T i've watched enough korean dramas to know common phrases.. like sorry, i know, yes, no, mom, dad, sister, brother, i love you, etc. haha

[jayholic]

hmm yeah i say "aish" alot and my korean friend said that i sounded really korean.

don't koreans say "aigoo" alot? my friend uses it alot when she talks about homework. i think it means "oh no".

oh yeah, alot of people like to say "jooguleh" or "chooguleh" (wanna die?) cuz of my sassy girl. before, when only a few people knew what it meant, it was really fun to say. it's sorta annoying now.

[Quiet Boy]

Jess, are you sure you cant teach us at least a few offensive profanities in Korean?

I mean, it never hurts to know a few swearwords in different langauges just in case you know :whistle:

[ashley]

I envy, envy, envy you - students in other countries, where you get to learn languages when you're in school.

Over here, you need to PAY to get into some private classes. I know they do offer Chinese, Arabic & japanese, at the university level but the extent of what you learn is nothing to be proud of.

So I learn the hard way - by watching the serials, the movies and trying to capture the subtitles for its translations.

[jAy is a s h y_ b o i]

wow i can't believe we got this goin on.


well if you want some profanity......

i'll leave jess to do the explainin hehehehehe it says that you're only 13?? then you'll hafta call me nuna/unnie hahaha :D

shibal
gochu
chamji
sekki
kesekki


bo guh shippuh- i miss you
no- you
na do- me too
seh sang- world
kwen ja nah- it's ok (i think lol)
jal jah- good night
babo- stupid (correct konglish.. err more COMMON konglish)
sarang- love
chingoo- friend
uh tuh keh- what do i do

ehhhhhh i dunno what else to write i just know a bunch of words haha



jess--i think you should teach by "how to order in a restaurant" or whatevers

[vv99]

Wow ~~~interesting man....

I Love You = ??

[jAy is a s h y_ b o i]

I love you is

sarang hae... to someone older sarang hae yo

or sarang ham ni da can work too

[xiaoli]

ashley:
I don't know about those other languages you mentioned, but there are normal government schools in Malaysia that teach Chinese and they're not expensive at all. My cousins go to Chinese schools and it's at a much higher level than they teach here (Aust.)

[june]

yah! we hv chinese schools in malaysia as well as indian schools.

but i think what ashley means is at an older age.
if we want to learn other languages, we have to pay
i think tht's what she means.

i know some words here.

mister - ajashi
correct or OK - kure

[ashley]

ashley:
I don't know about those other languages you mentioned, but there are normal government schools in Malaysia that teach Chinese and they're not expensive at all. My cousins go to Chinese schools and it's at a much higher level than they teach here (Aust.)

My mistake here. Chinese is taught extensively in some government schools in malaysia but to be really serious , you got to know where to go to. For example, I studied in a Polytechnic and the Chinese courses were pathetic bcos the lecturers were not experts in the language, just mere Chinese educated lecturers who specialised in other Engineering fields.

[Jess]

Yay!! Are you Korean, Maggie nuna? Your profile information doesn't give me any hints... :-x


well if you want some profanity......

i'll leave jess to do the explainin hehehehehe it says that you're only 13?? then you'll hafta call me nuna/unnie hahaha

shibal
gochu
chamji
sekki
kesekki

I am 13!! Nuna!! Nuna sounds better than unnie. I had to call my older sister unnie. I don't call her that anymore ^___^

Wow, those are pretty good. Let's bleep some of them out so lepencil doesn't attack me :) (I'm jk)

Shibal: a REALLY bad curse word.. I don't know how to exactly put it into context, but just think of the top three worst curse words you know, and there you got it.
Gochu: penis (HOW DIAO IS THAT haha)
Chamji: Vagina
Sekki: B*tch
Kesekki: Again, this is hard to explain. It's basically b*tch (directly translated, "dog bitch"), but in a harsher context.

Here are some more vulgar/inappropiate words to add to your list.

Ddonggomong: Butthole
Chi chi (like that guy from DBZ! i hate that anime.): BOOBIES!!! (or, breast)
Jjut: Nipple

And then, like said above, bangu is fart and stupid/idiot is pabo (equivalant of Japanese "baka")

Does anyone have any requests on what to learn next in this thread? Or should I just go ahead w/ the restaurant thing like Maggie (NUNA) suggested?

[jAy is a s h y_ b o i]

hahaha jess you're so young so you don't understand... so close your eyes little dongseng~~


shibal = f*ck basically


ahh... jess lol! you know nuna is for boys right? you should be calling me unnie instead haha but whatever floats your boat i guess....and am i korean? kiki molla~~~~~ you'll have to guess! ^^

[Jess]

Augh!! You're making fun of me!! ::sob::

..I didn't know that about the unnie and nuna thing. Woops. I should let you take over, Maggie unnie, :unsure:

I think you ARE Korean... because I doubt any tutoring you got of Korean would teach you cuss words like that. Unless you have Korean friends.. the first thing foreign language friends want to teach you is the cuss words.

My friend tried to explain shibal to me, and she said that it was worse than f*ck. Hmpth.

[Chun Li]

Maggie is from the planet JTL. I thought everyone knew that?

[jAy is a s h y_ b o i]

lol Chun Li! haha ^__^ i like being ambiguous


haha Jess.. you never said nuna to another girl have you? ^^;; yeps unnie is what girls say.. nuna is what boys say. also, oppa is for girls and hyung is for boys.

ah.. well let's just say shibal is sorta like f*ck and definitely not something you just yell out, especially in front of anyone older than you lol.

[yukiko]

hi all. i've saw all ur weblog. n i hope u can visit my yahoogroups too. onegaishimasu.

::LEAPS INTO THE THREAD WEARING A LOINCLOTH:: REVIVE!!! REVIVE!! I must REVIVE THIS THREAD!!!

Maggie, how do you say, "I will rip your legs off and eat your nostrils out"

My Korean vocabulary does not stretch that far.

[jAy is a s h y_ b o i]

yukiko--------- what are you doing advertising......... -__________- komarimashita ne.......



jess--- .......................



'eat your nostrils out' doesn't even make sense
babo ya -____-;;;;;

[sawmui13]

how about: guess what? i can speak korean!
so i can give my friend a little shock hehe.

[babyxv]

how do you say.. "i like to pick my nose and lick the boogers off my finger?" HAHA i really wanna freak out my korean friends :D

[Jess]

Sawmiu, I'll get back to you on that one. Actually, I forget how to say it. Maggie UNNIE, help me out!!!

For babyxv's...

I like to pick my nose and lick the boogers off my finger: Nah neun ko hoo bee goh kok ddak jee leul muh guh.

Actually, that means more of a, "I like to pick my nose and eat my boogers."

Kok ddak jee = boogers

[xoxo]

i am so envious of you guys! basically, the only korean words i know, even after watching korean drama series are WON BIN. enough said. :twisted:

but thanks for these words and phrases, Jess and company. wo hui nu li de!

and here's a question, is Korean written in a way that is derived from pronounciation? like Stenography?

[yukiko]

ahn nyung...i wanna know how to say
hello. im july. im busy rite now. just leave ur msg.
hahha. i wanna use it in my phone. :p
[yo bo seh yo. chonun july imnida. ------??]

[minwoosarang]

Ah...nice thread. Hopefully you will post more korean words soon. So far, the things you have posted are general things which I already know, so if you could be generous enough, could you help us out more with trying to hold a proper conversation with other Koreans? I've got Korean friends myself, but it really does get annoying trying to ask them for new words and stuff every now and then.

[shouling]

i got a question! now, most of us saw the MTV Asia awards but when JTL won their award for best Korean singer they did a chant like thing after the speech. the question is this. what did they say? (teanslation please) if anyone knows. it would be much appreciated!

[lepencil]

I don't know what they chanted, but I have the entire performance recorded and stashed away. I'll try to extract that bit so that someone else may be able to help you.

~lepencil

[angelyen]

oOO.. i have a question for you... do you know how to translate a chinese name to korean? cux i know a lot of korean characters are from chinese characters.. So i was wondering if you do.. do you think you can translate my chinese name to korean? thanks~! ~_^

[shouling]

angelyen:
i am currently upset at Tony An from JTL because of what he said on the MTVAsia award.. so i took his banner off.. =T

What do you mean? what did he say to make you mad at him?
i didn't see anything wrong.

[angelyen]

What do you mean? what did he say to make you mad at him?
i didn't see anything wrong.

MTV Asia Award was airred in So. California recently, i basically anticipated jay's and jtl's perf and their acceptance speech for favorite artist (esp. when Tony knows english, i was excited to hear him speak), but i was upset, actually me and my sister were upset at what JTL said when they accepted their favorite korean music award because Tony was rude to only acknowledged the "fans in Korea." Basically neglecting the rest of the fans around the world that supported them. I am a total H.O.T fan, i bought all their cds, went to their concert when they came to L.A and supported them, but on the MTV Asia Award they only acknowledged the fans in Korea, so i was disappointed by that. :depresse: THey should have recognized all the fans, i mean.. they WERE in singapore and there are LOTS of HOT and JTL fans.. so that is why.

[shouling]

oh i see.. Hey im not in KOREA ither.
i forgive him,but only cuz hes my Hun. :love:

just incase you haddn't figured that out! :blush:

[dudett09]

hmm.. would it be b/c there was a lack of vocab?

[shouling]

hmm.. would it be b/c there was a lack of vocab?

huh? :? what u mean?

[cmy_185]

to shouling..

do u mean the chant " Dae Han Min Gook" ? i guess it means go Korea..
they used it a lot during the world cup..

[shouling]

cmy_185: thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you!!

it has been plauging my mind in wonder!

[Chun Li]

I was wondering why they only thanked their Korean fans. I thought that was rude.

How do you say, "What the hell?" in Korean?

[Jess]

What the hell? I don't believe there's an exact word by word way to say that, but most people (when in the situation) say:

Ee-guhn-moh-yah?!?!

in an extremely angry voice. That basically translates to "What is this?!?!" which could be interpreted as "What the hell?!?"

[jAy is a s h y_ b o i]

oing i don't think you can say "guess what" in korean. *shrugs*


maybe tony oppa only thanked fans in korea because that's how they got to mtv asia in the first place. they were voted "best artist from korea" so you know, thank the fans in korea for getting them there.

[angelyen]

maybe tony oppa only thanked fans in korea because that's how they got to mtv asia in the first place. they were voted "best artist from korea" so you know, thank the fans in korea for getting them there.

umm.. i voted for them :dry: it's not just korean fans that vote, but everyone, as long as you go to the mtv asia voting site and vote.. i voted for jay in taiwan, and jtl for korea.. stuff like that..

also.. i'm not angry at tony anymore.. he's too cute to get mad at.. :wink2:

[jAy is a s h y_ b o i]

i know, everyone can vote. i voted as well. but ehh i guess if you're voted best in your country, you'd thank your country's fans.

[shouling]

i know, everyone can vote. i voted as well. but ehh i guess if you're voted best in your country, you'd thank your country's fans.

thats the way i looked at it. thats why i didnt think any thing was wrong with what he said. so he didnt thank the world. thats ok! i still adore him!

[taiwanguonanhai]

I know this is kind of a super old thread but I wanted to know how to exactly say "I'm busy". I was watching the Korean noodle commercial(which many probably know)and wanted to know how to say it.
Is it like na chin ba po?

[xOsocrazy]

if anybody's interested in learning how to romanize korean, then go to http://www.catcode.com/kintro/index.htm .. it's a good site and he explains it slowly so it's easy to understand ^^ that's where i learned to romanize ~

[shouling]

WOW~
xOsocrazy: thanx soo much it will deffinately come in handy for me.

i am currently learnig Korean, and i think this might help me along.

thanx again.

[Jess]

The way I learned how to say "I'm busy" in Korean is na ba bbuh.

na chi geum ba po/bbuh means "I'm busy right now." (might be where you got "na chin ba po")

[retrobaby]

last summer i joined a tour to korea and the tour guide taught us some korean. she said "dok dok keh" was clever boy or sumthing (to praise a kid) and "yak keh" was weak(as in to make the fire weaker in steam boat). both of those mean bad things in cantonese (the whole tour were all hk people). "dok dok keh" dok means point/press and keh is a bad word for sh*t and "yak keh" is a bad word, means eat sh*t. you can guess how much we laughed when she taught us these words.

[cmy_185]

hmm.. when i went to korea, my tour guide didn't teach us many words.. just the necessities! like,
Aggashi ( Miss ) - he asked us to remember the tennis player, Andre Aggasi! haha....
Hwa Jang Sil oddeh suh yo ( where's the toilet! i actually used it when i was looking for one in Lotte World.. after one of the rides after dinner, i had to throw up ! )

ahh.. i wanna learn korean so bad.. i wonder will i be able to cope with learning 2 languages at the same time?! cos i'm learning japanese too..hehe..

Jess give me some personal tutoring! :P

retro baby, yak keh means eat shit??? is that cantonese?!

[bumble]

retrobaby...its really funny
i m laughing by myself when i read the dok dok keh and yak keh

[GuArDiAn AnGeL]

i call my korean pple who are older than me... like "oppa" - older brother..."oni" - older sister....and i know lots of swear words too...i love this thread..very resorceful!

[shouling]

where have you pp been?!?!?!?!?!
this thred has been here for ages!

dok dok keh and yak keh!~!~!~
LOL~ *laughing so hard......need AIR!*

[JiE_LuN'z_BabE]

The way I learned how to say "I'm busy" in Korean is na ba bbuh.

na chi geum ba po/bbuh means "I'm busy right now." (might be where you got "na chin ba po")

go Food!!! :icecream:

i luv jay. hehe.. and his music! .. hehe. (jus had to say that.)
:huglove:

[Sporks]

Jess and I must band together and teach Korean! :wink2:

If you people out there want to know how to say something specific, I'll try my best to translate it for you. :D And if I can't do it by myself, I can always round up my Korean friends (who are MUCH better at Korean than I am) and get them to help me :shifty:

Yes. Ummm... So post away, I guess!

[JiE_LuN'z_BabE]

[xOsocrazy]

mm.. se7en~! he's gooood..

anyways.. i was just wondering.. what is hangul & what is hangook?

[Sporks]

umm..are u korean???

how do u say...
-can i have your autograph?

-i really like ur music...
-i think u guyz are really cool

*incase i meet some gasoo* :yeah:

*cringe* Sorry about that! I don't know how to say that... :oops: *feels guilty* I'm so bad at Korean... :cry: I'll ask my friends and post later, though.

I'm sorry... :sad:

I think hangul is the written form of Korean, and hangook is a way of saying Korea (as in the country) and a way of saying the language itself.

I think.

[Smonkkey]

umm..are u korean???

how do u say...

I think.

Don't worry spork, don't let other people push your around. Your shouldn't be sorry, you should tell people to back off, stand up for yourself. They shouldn't expect so much for you. Get A DICTIONARY!!!!!! DON'T USE OTHER PEOPLE!!!!!!

Well maybe i should shut cuz i know no korean.

[Jess]

Smonkkey that would be a good idea if this thread wasn't here so the Koreans could help the non-Koreans learn how to say certain things =p

[Smonkkey]

Sorry, i'm just really hyper, i'll stop, i'll even participate,

How do you say, I am crazy in Korean.

[Sporks]

Smonkkey-

I am crazy = nah neun mi chuh suh or nah mi chuh suh

JiE_LuN'z_BabE-

Can I have your autograph? = Sign heh joo seh yo (please sign this)

Can I have a picture taken with you? = Sah jeen joom hae joo sae yo (please take a picture...I'm not too sure about that one)

I really like your music = juh neun oppa deul eu mahc jo wah he yo (I like your - older male - music)

I think you guys are really cool = oppa deul eun jjang ee eh yo (it's like saying...you guys - older males - are the coolest)

I hope that's right :unsure:

[Jess]

Nice Christie!! :wink2: My mom was helping me out on the questions from JiE_LuN'z_BabE and she said it in Korean and I asked if she could write it down.. and she said no. But what you have up there is very good :D

[Sporks]

Hahaha, Jess, I got it because I asked Gene ¬¬

However! I am...yeah. I forgot what I was going to say. :dry:

[Jess]

Haha! I used to ask you and Gene on some of them. Having Korean friends is very helpful, no?

Anyone else have anymore questions? That we can direct to Gene? :excited:

[JiE_LuN'z_BabE]

For everyone else, post if you want to know how to say anything else :wink2:

[xOsocrazy]

yong won ee = forever
hal mon ni = grandmother [right? not sure..]

and i think I miss you = Bogoshipoh yo.

or something like dat..

[Sporks]

bumble:

Ugly = mee wuh or mot seng gyuh suh

Bo go shi poh yo means I want to see you. I guess that would work for "I miss you."

[bumble]

thanks for yr help sporks!!

[GuArDiAn AnGeL]

hey does neone know how to say something like...

give me a kiss right here (and points to cheeks)...haha...

if i love u is sa rang hae...then wuts i hate u?

[Sporks]

Give me a kiss right here = Yuh gee eh kiss joh (...Not too sure about that..)

I hate you = Nuh nuh moo shi ruh (It means "I really don't like you," but most people use that for "I hate you.")

[JiE_LuN'z_BabE]

umm..how do u say..

you've got a really sweet smile..

<gahh!!imagining me saying that to dongwan n hwanhee.. ackkk!!! they got killer smiles!! >

im enjoying this thread..hahaha...

[wrx'03]

This looks like a fun thread. I'm actually Chinese, but I dated a Korean girl for 2 years and have numerous Korean friends. Someone correct my poor spelling, but this might help those of you in college:

Shibal Sekki ya - F****** B*** (get ready to throw down after you say this to a person, or if you hear it from someone)

Bali- Hurry

Kaja- Let's go

Bali Kaja (for the the asian laggers out there)

Dambeh- Cigarette

Dambeh Pija- Let's go smoke

Dambeh Iso?- Do you have a cigarette? (Iso=there)

Dambeh Op Soh- I don't have a cigarette (Op Soh=not here)

Bul Golgi- The thin marinated meat you can order at a restaurant

Kalbi- Beef Short Ribs (yummy, I love making this stuff)

Dok Bok Gi- The chewy ricecakes

Tae Ji Golgi- marinated pork (Tae Ji=pig)

Kimchee Ji Geh- Kimchee soup

More to come later!

[cmy_185]

LOL!

learning swear words are fun..^__^

after watching the Movie my Tutor Friend, i learned some.. man they say it like it's so normal. scary!

"Shibaaaaaaalll nom, kesheki ya" ! ( F*** U, SOB!)

" Mee Chin Nyun!! " ( B****)

can i ask a question, what's the difference between Abuji and Abunim??

right now i'm watching Attic Cat and here are words they always use..

Haraboji - Grandpa
Haramoni- Grandma
Muk Go - eat!
gokjong ha ji ma - don't worry
chakamanyo - wait a sec
dorawa - come back
naga - get out
to' o ke - ill be back
i ro na - lets go
o di ga - where u going?

ahh the romanization is all wrong, i'm just writing based on what i hear. correct me if i'm wrong... :?

ah can't remember them all.

[muzikanjel]

wow! i luv this thread!! read the whole thing=p very useful u know... :shifty:
i only learnt how to say hello and thankyou watching FRIENDS...i cant even say it properly..owellz...thx heaps pplz!

how do u say poo and wee in krn?? heehz..

[cmy_185]

poo poo or poo?

poo is Dong.

" dong mukgo ".. :wacko:

[Sporks]

You've got a sweet smile - oppa oo seum ee yeh puh yo

Poo - Ddong! :D

Pee - oh jeum or shee

can i ask a question, what's the difference between Abuji and Abunim??

I don't think there is a difference. I always thought that abunim was more formal, but my friend told me that they're pretty much the same...

[xiAoJie]

just wondering wat hajima and damyon is.....not sure if its romanized like that, but i always hear it in songs

[Sporks]

Hajima - Stop it
Damyon - ...Not too sure about that one... I don't think that's a word...o_O Are you thinking of "da eum"? That means next. Or maybe "da eum nyun"? That means next year... Or could you possibly be thinking of "geu ruh tah myun"? That means if you're going to do that/because.

Yeah, I'm still not too sure about that second one...

[muzikanjel]

last summer i joined a tour to korea and the tour guide taught us some korean. she said "dok dok keh" was clever boy or sumthing (to praise a kid) and "yak keh" was weak(as in to make the fire weaker in steam boat). both of those mean bad things in cantonese (the whole tour were all hk people). "dok dok keh" dok means point/press and keh is a bad word for sh*t and "yak keh" is a bad word, means eat sh*t. you can guess how much we laughed when she taught us these words.

:roll: WAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHAHAAHHAHAZ!!!!!!!!!!! thats so funni!!! ahahaahahhaz! bout to 'shee' my pants! wahahahahaz!

[Melvin]

Gam-sah hap-nee-da (thanks) for the translations... Could be useful if i ever go to korea next time.... :)

I noticed that its much harder to say something in korean...
For example:

Ahn-nyung ha-seh-yo... Thats like 5 words... It's much easier in english... Just 1 word - hello...

Anyway thanks for all the korean-english translations.. :)

[Jo]

that may just be the nation's formalities

isn't Ahn-nyung the informal way of saying hello? and ahn-nyung ha-seh-yo is the formal way

if you think about it...hello and ahnnyung both have two syllable...its like the difference between hello and greetings my friend, or how do you do.

[shouling]

o.k. we all know that, sarang hae = i love you
but what does one say in return?
in English we'd say i love you too.
what is that in Korean?

[Sporks]

Jo: yes, the ahn nyung is the informal way of saying it. It's like saying it to your friends, and ahn nyung hah se yo is for parents, or teachers, people like that.

Shouling: I'm not sure how to say "I love you too." I never thought about that o_O I'll ask my friend about it and then I'll edit this post when I get home (I'm at my dad's restaurant right now, but I'll be home in less than an hour).

[edit] My Korean expert friend said that you could say "nah doo nuh sa rang hae." That's a literal translation of "I love you too." I hope that helps :happy:

[lil~jo]

Oh my gosh, I love this forum!!
I've always wanted to learn Korean phrases!
I love listening to the music etc.
Unfortunetly my computer can not read korean or chinese -__-"
but yeah, could you please tell me which website to go to for a Korean dictionary?
thanks

[Sporks]

but yeah, could you please tell me which website to go to for a Korean dictionary?
thanks

I'm not really sure if you'd want an ACTUAL Korean dictionary, because if you can't read Korean, there's not really a point to it. But if that IS what you want, here's a site for a English to Korean dictionary (there's also Korean to English).

http://www.sigmainstitute.com/koreanonline/dictionary.shtml

I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, but they also have clips of native speakers of Korean saying phrases, if you want to learn how to pronounce the words properly. This site seems to be really great for learning all things about the language and culture of Korea. The only thing I don't like is how they romanized Korean, but that's probably just me.

I hope that helps, Jenen :happy:

[lil~jo]

Thankyou so very very much.
I really appriciate that, it is going to make my life a lot easier to learn Korean. I'm thinking of attending a Korean language school.
Could you give me a list of all of your favourite Korean singers and band groups?
I seem to only have knowledge of one group, and thats Shinwha.
Thanks

[Sporks]

Jenen, no problem! I'm glad I could help :)

For the Korean singers/groups, you could check out this thread: http://jay-chou.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6408

There are a bunch of really good recommendations in there, and I've posted in there too. I hope that you'll like it!

[lj4]

Been reading the entire thread and I thought this was great and all. Learnt some new phrases. Had learnt some words and somewhat understand what my friends are talking about. *phew. Korean still seems like greek to me. Hmm, but I guess I shall take some time and learn slowly =] Anyway I was wondering if anyone could teach on how to write Korean? Like how do we fit the characters together? This is rather hard I guess. I always seem to fit them in the wrong places. Eh, I guess i'm rather lousy at time.lol

[lil~jo]

Yeah, I'd like to learn how to put them together. Like, I know the alphabet and all, but when I put them together it just doesn't make the word I'd like it to be. TT^TT (sadly)
Thanks

[jessica]

i think the Korean language is very similar to Japanese... at the beginning i was confused with the two, but after a while of listening to the Korean language, i find some differences.

i only know how to say (not perfectly) thank you in Korean and it takes five syllables to pronounce .><.

[Charles]

what 'jalka' mean..still wondering what it mean cuz my korean friend said it mean 'bye'..but for some weird reason i don't trust them bout it...*LOL*

[Sporks]

i only know how to say (not perfectly) thank you in Korean and it takes five syllables to pronounce .><.

Yeah, the words tend to be overly long o_o I guess you get used to it though.

And for the question about jalka... OHH I GET IT! At first, I had no clue what you were talking about, but now I think you're talking about "jahl gah" which is literally saying, "Leave well." I guess it's kinda like saying, "Take care of yourself."

:wacko: Things can be hard to translate sometimes.

[pop]

:laughing: sometimes learning foreign language can be so frustrating and funny at the same time

what? in korean is :mo?

and chikoro:shut up

that's what i caught after watching so many korean movies! haha

[Sporks]

pop: Yeah, "what" in Korean is "moh?" And "shi keu ruh wuh" (chikoro, lol) is saying, "it's too loud." Which could be used to say, "shut up," I guess.

I don't watch Korean movies o_o My parents do though.

[Jess]

Christie, ddong ko mokk jjoo sae yyo!

:realcool:

[Sporks]

Christie, ddong ko mokk jjoo sae yyo!

:realcool:

:glug: Please give me your butthole?? Nah, I think I'll keep it.

Nuh neun nuh moo ee sang hae.

8)

[Jess]

beh.. go.. pah... yo quiero tus dedos del pies

:welcome:

and i am not weird!

(Nuh neun nuh moo ee sang hae. = you are very weird)

[Sporks]

beh.. go.. pah... yo quiero tus dedos del pies

o_O Beh go pah = I'm hungry.

Then she switches into Spanish. Yo quiero tus dedos del pies = I want your toes.

:offtopic:

MORE KOREAN! Nah neun shim shim hae.

(That means that I'm bored.)

[cmy_185]

lol. i like to say shi keu ruh..

sporks, does yugioh means look here?

[Sporks]

Yuh gi oh (haha that reminds me of Yu Gi Oh!) kind of means, "right here." You could use that to say, "look here" because it would draw the person's attention to whatever you're talking about.

Did that make any sense? I'm in a strange mood right now, and not sure if I'm making any sense whatsoever.

[cmy_185]

haha, Yu Gi Oh!

anyway, what u said made sense...
i always thought it meant Excuse Me. then i asked ppl what excuse me in korean meant..but it wasn't this.. so i kinda quessed it was, look here! cos they said it to get the other person's attention most of the time..
thanks!

[kahel]

Question: What's the Korean term for "music", "dramas", "movies"? I'm doing research for my site.Ü Any suggestions for Korean dramas, movies + artists to watch out for? Thanks.

[cmy_185]

Music = Eumak

i think. i translate from the programma MBC eumak camp! in english its called music camp.. so should be eumak ..

the others i dunno, sorry!

research? what's your site about?
have u watched any k dramas or movies b4? what type of movies do u like??
i can talk abt loads of artists or dramas or movies.. dunno where to start.hehe.

[kahel]

cmy_185 thanks for that. that's a big help. the site is actually under construction right now but it's about asian artists.

if you want to PM and let's talk about korean artists, drams, movies, etc. :wink:

[Sporks]

Question: What's the Korean term for "music", "dramas", "movies"?

Music = eu mahk (like cmy_185 said :happy: )
Drama = deu rah mah. It's just the same thing, just more syllables, haha~
Movie = young hwa

I hope that helps, kahel!

[jessica]

Any suggestions for Korean dramas, movies + artists to watch out for? Thanks.

i don't watch much Korean dramas or movies, but the ones that i've watched and liked were:
drama - Bodyguard (i don't know the Korean name for it)
movie - Volcano High (something like the matrix)

i don't know much Korean artists except BoA, Lee Horli (not sure of her name, but she sang "10 Minutes"), and Se7en.

[shouling]

o.k. my friend wants to know how to say....

-I am sorry for the late reply
-I miss you
-I look forward to see you again
in Korean, but only in konglish.

your help will be verry appreciated~!
man i love this thred. so useful.

[lil~jo]

Hi, but could someone here tell me all about SM Town? Like, who is in it? etc?
I heard one song, "summer" and I really like it.
So I would like to know a website, which is,...hopefully in English, and yeah, thats all
thanks

[cmy_185]

SM TOWN
it's a lot of artists under this music company SM Entertainment. H.O.T , SES, Shinhwa , used to be in it..
right now, who's left is
Kangta, Moon hee Jun, Shoo( SES) , Blackbeat, MILK, DANA , BoA , Fly to the Sky .. anymore? Isak & Jiyeon ..

the MV u saw was probably Summer Vacation rite?
then Shinhwa was still in it.. ^_^

u can prolly find out more stuff at the website,
www.smtown.com
u can view it in english too.

[lil~jo]

Is that the website that we can get free MP3s of SM town?
I would love to hear more of their combined music!
Its so, cool!
The mixture of voices is good.
So far I have only heard hello summer, it is good!

[l3abystarz704]

Question...how would you say..do you still love me in korean? i know in chinese it would be ni hai ai wo ma...or in mandarin...but what is it in korean? is it ajikdo naruel sarang hey? spelling problems lol

SMTOWN is the entertainment that H.O.T, S.E.S, shinhwa, ftts, boa, etc. is under...if you go back far enough in their first album boa wasn't in it yet...they sing for their christmas albums i think they have like 4 so far or there's gonna be four and so far they have only two summer albums....it's kinda sad now cuz in their mv for the latest winter song...there's a lack of people...it looks so empty is what i mean compared to all their other mvs cuz shinhwa is gone as well as h.o.t, s.e.s, blackbeat isn't in there xept for one person i think...but yeah they're all gone....

[Sporks]

!! This thread is alive again! Yeah, I refer inanimate objects to be dead or alive. Like my computer. Okay, that has nothing to do with this.

Anyway, l3abystarz704, you were right. Do you still love me is "ah jik doh nah reul sa rang hae." Yeah, my romanization is retarded. I don't know the proper way to do it :shy: But I hope that you guys all know what I mean.

[cmy_185]

yay! let's revive this thread..hehe.

i'm learning korean now! and it's fun.. it took 3 lessons to learn the entire hangul alphabets..hehe. now we're going into sentences and greetings..lol

ahn nyong ha se yo! chong mal panga wo yo! :)
( hello, nice to meet you..) :)

[shouling]

ahn nyong ha se yo~!
revival is good~! oh and ignore my previous post.. it has alredy been taken care of~!
cmy... just wait till you get to numbers. there are two ways to say them.. scary huh? all i know number wise is.. 1 hana, 2 duol, 3 set, 4 net~! after that is a blurr right now. LOL~!

i love learning other languages. i am surpried i didnt revive this one myself~! LOL~!
oh well..

[cmy_185]

oh yeah! there's the Sino-korean numbers..

il, i, sam, sa , oh, yuk, etc..hehe.

and then there's the native korean numbers, hana, Deul Set.haha.

both are used differently.. ahh, it's quite confusing to me now.

[cutie-pie]

[l3abystarz704]

wow thanks for the clip i remember minwoo singing that song at shinhwa's concert...kwon sang woo has a good voice ^^

[cmy_185]

really??? Min Woo sang that?!?! the 2nd concert?! how come i missed it?!? :(

[l3abystarz704]

really??? Min Woo sang that?!?! the 2nd concert?! how come i missed it?!? :(

uh i think he did...cuz i remember hearing clips of him singing that just before the vcd or the concert came out...unless that was someplace else...man i have such a horrible memory.

[destined]

after listening to park ji yoon songs i'm dying to learn korean as well as japanese,

[Sporks]

cmy_185, I'll try my best! I don't have a lot of time at the moment (I'm supposed to be doing homework ), but I'll watch it over one or two times and try. But my Korean is really bad, so you might not get every single word.

MC: Here is Kwon Sang Woo!
KSW: Hello.
MC: You just sang a song called "I Want to See You" (Boh Goh Ship Dah). People who actually sing sang this song. I always thought that you couldn't sing because you were an actor... But you sing very well!
KSW: Today when I sang, I think this was the first time that I had a dry mouth.
MC: Yes, maybe a little. Well, since you're not a singer, but an actor, I think that if you sing like this, it's very good.
KSW: Thank you.
MC: [something something] Do you like people saying that you have a nice body or a nice face?
KSW: Although I like both, I’m not very handsome (I think), and I think that my body is..pathetic! *laughs* Sorry!
MC: You're right, you're right. I saw you on TV one day, and your body was shown, and it seems like [something something]. Do you exercise regularly?
KSW: Lately, since I’ve been filming movies and dramas, I don’t have time to do things. I haven’t been very fit. When everything is done, I will start exercising again.
MC: You should do push ups, and things like that.
KSW: Yes.
MC: My hand keeps wandering away from the mic without my knowing! *touches KSW creepily* Would you like to cut my hand and take it? To my knowledge, you came out in [some drama]. Last year you came out in [some drama]. I wonder what kind of student you were? I just was in a band, instead of studying. I used to like [some artist] and tried to be like him.
KSW: when I was young there was New Kids on the Block.
MC: *laughs* Since New Kids on the Block had 5 members, all of your friends could have been one of the members.

Oh wow. The video kept pausing without me doing anything, and it did it every half a second so I couldn't hear it :oops: So I listened to it like 6 times, haha. And I STILL didn't understand it all. :dry: Egh, I need to brush up on my Korean more often. Sorry that I couldn't translate all of it... but I hope that this is enough for you to get the gist of the conversation.

[cmy_185]

Thank You So Much Sporks!!!! i'm sorry u couldn't watch it properly. i should've posted the download link..anyway. thanks again!!

[Sporks]

cmy_185: It's okay! It's nice that I have some place to brush up on my crappy Korean. Sorry that I couldn't translate any better... I got too fed up with the video to watch it again, so I just posted what I had so far.

Anyone else have any translation requests? :happy: However... if it's more than like.. 5 minutes long, then I won't have time for a long time to watch the whole thing through and translate it all.

[shouling]

Anyone else have any translation requests? :happy: However... if it's more than like.. 5 minutes long, then I won't have time for a long time to watch the whole thing through and translate it all.

i am gonna hold you to that~! LOL~! i will do all the uploading and such later. i dont want to overload you~! LOL~! i can wait till a less busy time as well~! :)

[l3abystarz704]

really??? Min Woo sang that?!?! the 2nd concert?! how come i missed it?!? :(

i was going through some videos that i had and i came across two vids where he was singing that song would you like for me to post it?

[cmy_185]

Yes Yes!! thanks babystarz!

[Viv]

Ahn-nyung everyone!! Thanks so much for the help in Korean. I'm currently trying to learn some words here and there with the help of this thread, Korean friends and websites. It's so hard though... I dunno where to start. The Alphabet sounds like a good idea though.

Just some random words I know:

-Gasoo(singer)
-Ahn-nyung(hello in an informal way)
-Nah neun mi chuh! (I'm crazy!)

err...my mind just went blank :dry: lol sorry.

Funny story though. Ahn-nyung sounds like the english word "Onion" so everytime me and my korean friend see each other we go "onion!"

Thanks again for the help!~
