Korean Language and Culture

Take life as it comes.

Well, here are some very basic words to help you get started:

네. (ne) = yes.

아니요. (a-ni-yo) = no.

안녕하세요? (an-nyeong-ha-se-yo) = hello.

안녕히 가세요. (an-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo) = goodbye. (when you are leaving and the other person is staying)

안녕히 계세요. (an-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo) = goodbye. (when you are staying and the other person is leaving)

미안해요. (mi-an-hae-yo) = i'm sorry.

감사합니다. (gam-sa-ham-ni-da) = thank you.

아니에요. (a-ni-e-yo) = you're welcome. (in response to 'thank you')

어디예요? (eo-di-ye-yo) = where is it?

전는 _____입니다. (jeo-neun [your name here] im-ni-da) = my name is ______.

사랑해요. (sa-rang-hae-yo) = i love you.

지금 몇 시예요? (ji-geum myeot-shi-ye-yo) = what time is it right now?

얼마예요? (eol-ma-ye-yo) = how much does this cost?

이게 뭐예요? (i-ge mwo-ye-yo) = what is this? (you can replace 이게 with 그게 [geu-ge] (that thing closest to you) or 저게 [jeo-ge] (that thing over there)

[note: this sound 어 (or 'eo') sounds very similar to how you would pronounce 'uh.' i'm not even sure how to describe the pronunciation of 으 ('eu'). you're best bet is to learn the alphabet. it's pretty straight forward. of course, there are irregularities/exceptions to pronunciation]

oh WA (it what it sounds like)

but in English it is written .....wau

Crazy in Korean is "Mechaso".

Guh-sah-lahm-up-go, which literally means: "Without that person."

" 천국", pronounced "chun-gook"

Sujan or 수잔

Ajumma in Korean refers to a woman who is old enough to be married.

통통 (tong tong)

같이 가자 [gatchi gaja]

literally: "together go let's"

'ken nun' 큰눈

내 아들을 사랑 = i love my son

셔론 (Syeo-ron).

appa means daddy

oppa means older brother or boyfriend

No. Korea has their own very strong cultural identity.

The same way you did.

Juh nuen yul nesal eeb nee da (저는 열내산(14 years old) 입니다) polite

Yul ne sal een dae (열내살(14 years old) 인대) talking with friends

Wife in Korean is 아내 (A-nae). For your information, husband in Korean is 남편 (Nam-pyeon). Hope this helped you. (:

just say :

Saranghe sergie

All human beings have eyelashes.

Dream in Korean is written as 꿈 (kkum).

하구 (ha Goo)

동생, 잘 지내? (dong-saeng, jal ji-nae?)

Jay-ee-reum-eun...eem-nee-da.

Now, with the "eu" sound, it's very hard to explain how to do it RIGHT; you kind of make an "ooo" sound with your teeth closed and without your lips. I mess up sometimes too, because I didn't start to learn Korean until 3 years ago(and I don't get much practice). I suggest you look at youtube videos to see how it's done.

As for the "r", it's a mix between L and R.
