Sogaeting

Answer 42

In Korean, 선배 (Seonbae) means “senior” or “mentor,” typically referring to someone who is more experienced or older, especially in school, work, or social groups.

However, for a “blind date,” the term is 소개팅 (Sogaeting), which is short for 소개팅팅 (Sogae-ting), combining 소개 (“introduction”) with “팅,” from the English word “meeting.” So:

소개팅 (Sogaeting) - Blind date

선배 (Seonbae) - Senior

Answer 62

The phrase “갈게, 일단” (Galge, Ildan) translates to “I’ll go for now” or “I’ll be going for now” in casual Korean.

갈게 (Galge) – “I’ll go” (polite but casual; implies the speaker is leaving and may return).

This phrase is commonly used when you’re leaving temporarily or wrapping up a conversation. It’s friendly and informal, suitable for friends or close acquaintances.

It’s often used in contexts requiring prompt action.

The phrase “백굴이여” (Backgugileyo) doesn’t directly translate to “I’ll give up” in Korean. It seems like there may be a typo or misunderstanding of the expression.

Here’s the breakdown:

포기하다 (Pogi hada) – To give up.

할게요 (Halgeyo) – I will do (polite future tense).

Question 63

Geumanha bwa isseoyo

Yeogiseo jago shipeo?
Sagwa halkkayo?
Jeo yeoriseulttaeneun mani norasseoyo

Answer 63

“그만해 봐 있어요 (Geumanha bwa isseoyo)” could be an attempt to say “Stop saying anything”, but the phrase isn’t perfectly clear in terms of structure. A more natural way to say “Stop talking” or “Stop saying anything” in Korean is:

“그만해 주세요” (Geumanhae juseyo) – Please stop (polite form).

“그만해!” (Geumanhae!) – Stop it! (informal, direct).

In these phrases, 그만해 (Geumanhae) means “Stop,” and the endings adjust for politeness or formality.

For example, if you’re asking about a thing or object, you can use this phrase to inquire about its nature or type:

It’s a casual and common way to ask “What is this?” when you’re curious about something.

The phrase “자고?” (Jago?) translates to “Sleep?” or “Sleep here?” in casual Korean. It is an informal way of asking if someone is sleeping or if they want to sleep in a certain place.

“여기서 자고 싶어?” (Yeogiseo jago shipeo?) – “Do you want to sleep here?” (informal, friendly)

“여기서 자고 싶으세요?” (Yeogiseo jago shipeuseyo?) – “Would you like to sleep here?” (polite form)

Question 64

Museowoji
Nollassji

Answer 64

It seems like you’re asking about “무서워지” (Museowoji) and “놀랐지” (Nollassji), which can be interpreted in two different ways depending on the context. Here’s a breakdown:

무서워지 (Museowoji) – This phrase is the verb “무섭다” (Museopda), meaning “to be scared” or “to be afraid.” “무서워지” could imply “to become scary” or “to become afraid.”

놀랐지 (Nollassji) – This comes from “놀라다” (Nollada), which means “to be surprised” or “to be shocked.” “놀랐지” would mean “I was surprised” or “I got shocked,” in an informal or conversational way.

If these phrases are from a song or specific context, they could be referring to emotions like fear and surprise, often used in descriptions of unexpected situations. Would you like more specific examples or context based on their usage in a particular song or conversation?

Question 68

Geurimeul bwayo
Yeonghwareul bwayo
Chingureul bwayo
Jeo giga bogosipeo
Wa, boya? Yeppeuda!
Boya ige?

Answer 68

Yes, 보다 (boda) is the root verb meaning “to see,” “watch,” or “look.” Its usage depends on the context:

1. To see/look at:

그림을 봐요.
(Geurimeul bwayo.)
“Look at the painting.”
저 기가 보고싶어 (Jeo giga bogosipeo) translates to “I miss that place” in English.

저 (Jeo): “That” (far from both the speaker and listener)

기가 (Giga): A location marker or reference to “that place”

보고싶어 (Bogosipeo): “I miss (it)” or “I want to see (it).”

This phrase expresses longing for a specific place. It could be used when reminiscing about a location with fond memories.

2. To watch:

영화를 봐요.
(Yeonghwareul bwayo.)
“I’m watching a movie.”

3. To meet (someone):

친구를 봐요.
(Chingureul bwayo.)
“I’m meeting a friend.”

In 보고 싶어 (Bogo sipheo), it literally means “I want to see (you),” but it is commonly interpreted as “I miss you,” emphasizing emotional longing.
와, 뭐야? 예쁘다! (Wa, boya? Yeppeuda!) translates to “Wow, what is this? It’s pretty!” or “Wow, what’s this? So pretty!”

와 (Wa): “Wow” (an exclamation of surprise or admiration).

뭐야 (Boya): “What is this?” or “What’s this?”

예쁘다 (Yeppeuda): “Pretty” or “Beautiful.”

This phrase is commonly used when someone is pleasantly surprised by something visually appealing.
뭐야 이게? (Boya ige?) translates to “What is this?” in English.

뭐야 (Boya): “What is it?” (informal/casual).

이게 (Ige): “This” (subject marker for something close by).

This phrase is often used when someone is confused or curious about something they see or experience. It expresses surprise or inquiry in a casual setting.
잘 갔다 (Jal gaetta) translates to “It went well” or “It was good” in Korean, depending on the context. However, this phrase is not commonly used as a standalone expression. Instead, you might encounter similar phrases such as:

잘 갔다 왔다 (Jal gatda watda): “It went well, and I came back.”

잘 갔어요 (Jal gasseoyo): “It went well” (past tense polite).

Could you clarify how you want to use the phrase?

Question 69

Geureom daeume bwayo

Answer 69

Ah, now I see! “그럼 다음에 봐요 (Geureom daeume bwayo)” would be the correct way to say “Then, see you next time” in Korean.

그럼 (Geureom) means “Then” or “In that case.”

다음에 (Daeume) means “next time” or “later.”

봐요 (Bwayo) is the polite form of 보다 (boda), meaning “to see.”

So, “그럼 다음에 봐요” is a friendly and polite way to say “See you next time” when parting ways, commonly used in conversations or when leaving.

Question 70

sip-eunde mworeogeoso

Answer 70

The phrase “싶은데 뭐로 게어서” (sip-eunde mworeogeoso) seems to be an attempt to say “I want to, but what should I do?” or “I want to, but what can I do?”

싶은데 (sip-eunde) is derived from 싶다 (sipda), meaning “to want.” It’s used to express desire but is followed by -는데 to imply a contradiction or difficulty.

뭐로 (mworo) means “with what” or “by what,” and could be used when asking about the means or method.

게어서 might be a misspelling or a non-standard construction. If you intended to use “게” (ge) as a verb ending, it could imply an intention but seems out of place here.

A more standard way of saying this could be “싶은데 어떻게 해야 할까요?” (sip-eunde eotteoke haeya halkkayo?), which means “I want to, but what should I do?”

Let me know if this was the intended meaning, or if there’s a different context you were referring to!

Question 71

Jan kaman gabolge

Answer 71

잠깐만 가볼게 (Jan kaman gabolge) translates to “I’ll go for a moment” or “I’ll be back shortly” in English. Here’s a breakdown:

가볼게 (Gabolge): Future tense of 가보다 (gaboda), meaning “to go and see” or “to check out.” It’s often used to indicate that you’ll leave briefly or explore something.

This phrase is commonly used when someone plans to step out temporarily or check on something. Let me know if you’d like more context or usage examples!

Question 72

Jeonhwa galge

Answer 72

전화 걸게 (Jeonhwa galge) means “I’ll give you a call” in Korean. Here’s a breakdown:

전화 (Jeonhwa): “Phone” or “call.”

걸게 (Galge): Future tense of 걸다 (Geolda), meaning “to make a call” or “to dial.” The ending -게 indicates intention or promise.

You might use this phrase when letting someone know you’ll call them later. For example:

나중에 전화 걸게.
(Najunge jeonhwa galge.)
“I’ll call you later.”

몰라서 (Mollaseo) comes from 모르다 (Moreuda), which means “to not know” or “to be unaware.”

The -서 ending implies a reason or cause, so 몰라서? can imply:

“Is it because you didn’t know?”

“You don’t know (that)?”

If you want to say “You don’t know?” in a direct way, it would be “몰라?” (Molla?) in casual speech.

Question 74

Answer 74

Yes, 하긴 (Hagin) is an informal Korean word that translates to “I suppose” or “Indeed” in English. It’s used to agree with or acknowledge something while implying a certain level of reflection or resignation.

(Hagin, geureol sudo itji.)

Question 76

Da

Da joayo-

Amugeona gwaenchanayo

Examples:

1. 다 좋아요.
   (Da joayo.)
   “Everything is good.”
2. 아무거나 괜찮아요.
   (Amugeona gwaenchanayo.)
   “Anything is fine.”

Jogeum seounhaesseo

“Seonanae” (서운해) is a casual way of expressing disappointment or feeling let down. It conveys a sense of mild sadness or dissatisfaction, often when expectations aren’t met or when someone feels overlooked.

For example:

너무 서운해. (Neo-mu seounhae.) — “I’m really disappointed.”

서운하게 생각하지 마. (Seounhage saenggakaji ma.) — “Don’t feel disappointed.”

If you want to soften the tone, you could say:

조금 서운했어. (Jogeum seounhaesseo.) — “I was a little disappointed.”

Question 87

Siheom mangchin geot gata

Question 88

Jal jasseo.
Eojesbame jal jasseo
Swipji ana
I il-eun swipji ana
Geugeon swipji ana

Answer 88

밤에 잘 잤어 (Bame jal jasseo) is the casual way of saying “I slept well last night.”

To phrase it more formally:

어젯밤에 잘 잤어요. (Eojesbame jal jasseoyo.) — “I slept well last night.”

If someone asks how you slept, you could respond:

잘 잤어. (Jal jasseo.) — “I slept well.”

별로야. (Byeolloya.) — “Not really.” (If you didn’t sleep well).
To say “It’s not easy” in Korean, you would say:

쉽지 않아 (Swipji anha) — “It’s not easy” (casual)

쉽지 않아요 (Swipji anayo) — “It’s not easy” (polite)

This expression is often used to describe something that is difficult or challenging. The verb 쉽다 (swipda) means “easy,” and negating it with 않다 (anta) makes it “not easy.”

For example:

이 일은 쉽지 않아. (I il-eun swipji ana.) — “This job is not easy.”

그건 쉽지 않아요. (Geugeon swipji anayo.) — “That’s not easy.”

Question 89

Geumanhaji
Geumanhae
Geumanhaji ma!

Answer 89

“Geumanhaji” (그만하지) translates to “Stop it” or “Let’s stop” in Korean. It comes from the verb 그만하다 (geumanhada), meaning “to stop” or “to quit.”

그만하지 마 (Geumanhaji ma) — “Don’t stop it” (informal)

그만하세요 (Geumanhaseyo) — “Please stop” (polite)

그만해요 (Geumanhaeyo) — “Stop it” (polite, but more casual)

It’s commonly used when asking someone to stop doing something or when you’re telling them to quit an activity.

For example, if someone is talking too much, you might say:

그만하지 마! (Geumanhaji ma!) — “Stop it!”

Question 90

Josimhae
Josimhabsio
Gireul geonneol ttae josimhae!

Answer 90

조심해 (Josimhae): Casual, used with friends or people of similar age.

조심하세요 (Josimhaseyo): Polite, used in formal or respectful situations.

조심하십시오 (Josimhabsio): Very formal, used in official or serious contexts.

Question 91

Ah banhae
Ah, gasseo
Ah, gabeoryeosseo

Answer 91

In Korean, “Ah banhae” (아 반해) literally means “Ah, I’m impressed” or “Ah, I like her/him”, but if you’re looking for “Ah, she left”, it would be expressed differently:

Correct expression:

아, 갔어 (Ah, gasseo): “Ah, she left” in casual Korean.

아, 가버렸어 (Ah, gabeoryeosseo): Adds a nuance of finality, like “Ah, she’s gone.”

Let me know if you need further clarification!

Question 92

Geureul ireun jeoldae eobseo Vs.
Geureul ireun geureul liga eobseo

Answer 92

그럴 일은 절대 없어 (Geureul ireun jeoldae eobseo) translates to “That will never happen” in English.

Breakdown:

그럴 일 (Geureul il): “Such a thing” or “That kind of event”

절대 (Jeoldae): “Never” or “Absolutely not”

없어 (Eobseo): “Does not exist” or “Will not happen”

This phrase is often used to express strong confidence that something will not occur. It’s casual, but to make it more formal:

그럴 일은 절대 없어요 (Geureul ireun jeoldae eobseoyo).

The phrases “그럴 일은 절대 없어” and “그럴 일은 그럴 리가 없어” are similar but differ slightly in nuance:

1. 그럴 일은 절대 없어 (Geureul ireun jeoldae eobseo)

Translation: “That will never happen.”

Nuance: This phrase expresses strong certainty that a particular event or situation will never occur. The word 절대 emphasizes absolute negation.

2. 그럴 일은 그럴 리가 없어 (Geureul ireun geureul liga eobseo)

Translation: “There’s no way that could happen.”

Nuance: This phrase is slightly softer and suggests disbelief or doubt rather than absolute certainty. 리가 없어 conveys logical impossibility or incredulity.

Key Differences:

Tone: “절대 없어” is more definitive and absolute, while “리가 없어” carries a tone of reasoning or logical rejection.

Context: Use 절대 없어 to emphasize that something will not or cannot happen under any circumstances. Use 리가 없어 when you’re reasoning or expressing disbelief based on logic or current understanding.

Both are used to deny the possibility of an event but with different emphases.

Question 93

Neomu chakhae
Got dashi mannaja
Na gago sipeunde, da manghaesseo

Answer 93

The phrase “착해” (Chakhae) means “He’s/She’s nice” or “kind” in Korean. However, if you want to express that someone is “too nice,” you could say:

너무 착해 (Neomu chakhae) – Casual

너무 착하시네요 (Neomu chakhashineyo) – Polite and respectful

Adding 너무 (neomu, meaning “too” or “very”) emphasizes the extent of their kindness.
No, “곧 다시 보지” (Got dashi boji) is not a natural or correct way to express “Let’s meet again soon” in Korean. The word 보지 could be misunderstood because it carries an unintended meaning in Korean. Instead, stick to these more standard phrases:

곧 다시 만나자 (Got dashi mannaja) – Casual, meaning “Let’s meet again soon.”

곧 다시 만나요 (Got dashi mannayo) – Polite.

곧 다시 뵙겠습니다 (Got dashi boepgetseumnida) – Formal.

Using proper expressions avoids potential confusion or awkwardness.

The phrase “나 가고 싶어 근데 뱃소” (Na gago sipeo geunde baeseo) appears to be a mix of informal Korean and possibly a typo or misunderstood phrase. I think you’re trying to say “I want to go, but everything’s gone wrong.”

Here’s how you could express that more naturally in Korean:

나 가고 싶어, 근데 모든 게 잘못됐어 (Na gago sipeo, geunde modeun ge jalmot dwaesseo)
Translation: “I want to go, but everything has gone wrong.”

나 가고 싶은데, 다 망했어 (Na gago sipeunde, da manghaesseo)
Translation: “I want to go, but everything is ruined.”

In these examples:

가고 싶어 (Gago sipeo) means “I want to go.”

근데 (Geunde) means “but.”

모든 게 (Modeun ge) means “everything” or “all things.”

잘못됐어 (Jalmot dwaesseo) means “went wrong” or “is wrong.”

망했어 (Manghaesseo) means “ruined” or “failed.”

This should accurately convey the sentiment you’re trying to express!

Question 94

Jeom gaseyo
Ildan na yeolsimhi hangukmal gongbuhae
Jeon mollayo

Answer 94

The phrase “점 가세요” (Jeom gaseyo) appears to be a slight variation or misunderstanding of the common phrase “잠깐 가세요” (Jamkkan gaseyo), which translates to “Let’s walk for a little bit” or “Let’s go for a moment”.

Here’s the breakdown:

잠깐 (Jamkkan) means “a little bit” or “for a moment.”

가세요 (Gaseyo) is the polite form of “go” or “let’s go”.

If you meant “Let’s walk for a little bit”, “잠깐 걸어요” (Jamkkan georeo-yo) would be more accurate, where 걸어요 (Georeo-yo) is the polite form of “walk.”
The phrase “일단 나 열심히 한국말 공부해” (Ildan na yeolsimhi hangukmal gongbuhae) roughly translates to “For now, I will study Korean hard” or “First, I will study Korean seriously.”

Here’s the breakdown:

일단 (Ildan) means “For now” or “First” (indicating something to start with).

나 (Na) means “I” (informal).

열심히 (Yeolsimhi) means “hard” or “diligently.”

한국말 (Hangukmal) means “Korean language.”

공부해 (Gongbuhae) means “study” (informal).

So this sentence reflects someone planning to focus on studying Korean with dedication. If you’d like a more formal version, you could use “공부합니다” (gongbuhamnida) instead of “공부해”.
The phrase “전 몰라요” (Jeon mollayo) translates to “I didn’t know” in English.

전 (Jeon) is a contraction of 저는 (Jeoneun), which means “I” or “I am” in polite language.

몰라요 (Mollayo) is the polite form of “모르다” (moreuda), meaning “to not know.”

This sentence is commonly used to express that you were unaware of something or didn’t have knowledge about it. It’s a polite way of admitting a lack of knowledge or information.

Question 95

Gieok an na?
Mworago? Deunachin
Jinjja Chwihaetda

Answer 95

기억 안 나? (Gieok an na?) is the correct way to say “Don’t you remember?” in Korean.

Breakdown:

기억 (Gieok): Memory, recollection.

안 (An): Not (used to negate a verb).

나? (Na?): A casual or informal question ending, meaning “do you?”

This phrase is informal and casual, so it’s commonly used with friends or peers.
If you want a more polite version, you can say:

기억 안 나요? (Gieok an nayo?)
The phrases you provided can be broken down as follows:

1. 뭐라고? (Mworago?):

This means “What did you say?” in casual Korean.

It’s used when asking someone to repeat themselves or expressing surprise at what was said.

2. 드나친 타고 (Deunachin tago):

This seems like a combination of words that may not make full sense in this form.

드나친 (Deunachin) could relate to “frequenting” or “going in and out.”

타고 (Tago) generally means “riding” or “by” (like riding a bus, train, etc.).

If you meant “You’re extra drunk?” the Korean phrase would more accurately be:

너 취했어? (Neo chwihaesseo?): “Are you drunk?” (informal).

너 너무 취했어? (Neo neomu chwihaesseo?): “Are you too drunk?”

Could you clarify further if this is what you meant?
To say “really drunk” in Korean, you can use the following phrases:

1. 진짜 취했어 (Jinjja chwihaesseo):

Informal, meaning “Really drunk.”

Commonly used among friends or peers.

2. 완전히 취했어 (Wanjeonhi chwihaesseo):

Informal, meaning “Completely drunk.”

Emphasizes being fully intoxicated.

3. 너무 취했어 (Neomu chwihaesseo):

Informal, meaning “Too drunk.”

4. 진짜 많이 취했어요 (Jinjja mani chwihaesseoyo):

Polite, meaning “I’m really drunk.”

For a more casual way, you can simply say:

취했다 (Chwihaetda): “Drunk.”

진짜 취했다 (Jinjja chwihaetda): “Really drunk” in casual situations.

Question 96

Nan jeongmal un joeun saramiya
Apeunde
Yeoboseyo, joesonghajiman jalmos geosyeosseumnida

Answer 96

The phrase “진짜 힘언다” (Jinjja himeonada) does not translate to “I’m really a lucky guy”. Instead, it seems to mix unrelated elements. Let’s correct and refine this:

Correct Phrase for “I’m really a lucky guy” in Korean:

1. 정말 운이 좋아요 (Jeongmal uni joayo):

Polite form, meaning “I’m really lucky.”

2. 난 정말 운이 좋아 (Nan jeongmal uni joa):

Casual form, meaning “I’m really lucky.”

3. 정말 운 좋은 사람이에요 (Jeongmal un joeun saramieyo):

Polite, meaning “I’m a really lucky person.”

4. 난 정말 운 좋은 사람이야 (Nan jeongmal un joeun saramiya):

Casual form for “I’m a really lucky guy.”

If you’re looking for a colloquial or expressive version, let me know, and I can adjust it further!
Here’s how the sentences break down and what they mean:

1. 아픈데 (Apeunde) -
   Means “I’m not feeling well” or “It hurts.”

You can use it casually or contextually to express discomfort.

2. 여보세요, 미안해요. 전 거십니다 (Yeoboseyo, Mianhaeyo. Jeom geusimida) -
   This translates to “Hello, sorry, you’ve got the wrong number.”

A more natural phrasing would be:

여보세요, 죄송하지만 잘못 거셨습니다. (Yeoboseyo, joesonghajiman jalmos geosyeosseumnida).

Formal, polite way of saying “Hello, sorry, you’ve got the wrong number.”

Let me know if you’d like to practice these or adjust them!

Question 97

Donggeo
Gachi salda

Answer 97

The word “Teongeo” (텅거) does not naturally mean “living together” in Korean. Instead, there might be confusion or a misunderstanding of the term.

If you want to express “living together” in Korean, here are appropriate phrases:

1. 같이 살다 (Gachi salda) - “To live together”

같이 (Gachi): Together

살다 (Salda): To live

2. 동거하다 (Donggeo-hada) - “To cohabit” or “to live together” (usually used for unmarried couples or roommates).

동거 (Donggeo): Cohabitation

하다 (Hada): To do

Let me know if you’d like clarification or examples using these expressions!

Question 98

Silheo neomu bogosipeo

Answer 98

Your phrase “싫어 너무 보고싶어 (Silheo neomu bogosipeo)” combines contrasting emotions, making it expressive yet conflicting. Here’s the breakdown:

1. 싫어 (Silheo): “I hate it” or “I don’t like it.”
2. 너무 (Neomu): “Too much” or “so much.”
3. 보고싶어 (Bogosipeo): “I miss you” or “I want to see you.”

Combined, the phrase could translate to:
“I hate it; I miss you so much.”

It expresses the feeling of frustration from deeply missing someone. Would you like to refine this expression or use it in another context?

Answer 102

To express “Right now I will buy something” in Korean, you can say:

“지금 바로 뭐를 살게요.”

Himdeureo (힘들어): “It’s hard” or “I’m struggling” (derived from the verb 힘들다, meaning “to be hard” or “to be difficult”).

Gochi (고치): This could come from 고치다, meaning “to fix” or “to correct,” but it appears to be in a casual spoken form.

In context, it might mean “It’s hard to fix” or “I’m struggling to fix it” depending on the situation.

Question 105

Why is geoseun used and what is the meaning

Answer 105

In the sentence “Saeroun eon-eoreul baeuneun geoseun jami-isseubnida” (새로운 언어를 배우는 것은 재미있습니다), the word “geoseun” (것은) plays an essential grammatical role. Let’s break it down:

1. “Geoseun” (것은):

“Geot” (것):

Literally means “thing” or “something.”

In this context, it acts as a nounifier. It transforms the verb phrase “baeuneun” (배우는, “learning”) into a noun phrase, meaning “the act of learning” or simply “learning.”

“Eun” (은):

A topic marker that emphasizes or highlights the subject of the sentence. It attaches to “geot” to form “geoseun”, meaning “as for the act of learning” or “learning is.”

2. Why is it used here?

Korean often requires a noun or noun phrase as the subject of a sentence. Since “baeuneun” (배우는, learning) is a verb, it cannot directly act as the subject. By adding “geot” (것), the verb phrase becomes a noun phrase: “baeuneun geot” (배우는 것) = “the act of learning.”

Then, the “은” topic marker emphasizes that this is the subject being discussed. Together, “geoseun” (것은) makes the phrase grammatically correct and emphasizes the topic: “Learning new languages.”

Literal breakdown of the sentence:

1. Saeroun eon-eoreul (새로운 언어를): “New languages (object).”
2. Baeuneun geoseun (배우는 것은): “The act of learning (new languages) is.”
3. Jami-isseubnida (재미있습니다): “Fun.”

Full meaning:

“Learning new languages is fun.”

Answer 106

The phrase “Gabolge” (가볼게) is a casual and colloquial way of saying “I’ll be right back” or “I’ll go and come back” in Korean. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Structure of “Gabolge” (가볼게):

“Ga” (가):

The root form of the verb 가다, meaning “to go.”

“Bol” (볼):

가보다 means “to try going” or “to go (and see).”

“Ge” (게):

A contraction of “-ㄹ게,” which is a polite/casual sentence ending used to indicate the speaker’s intention or promise. It can be translated as “I’ll” or “I will.”

2. Meaning and Usage:

“Gabolge” (가볼게):

Literally: “I’ll try going” or “I’ll go (and come back).”

Commonly used in casual situations to mean “I’ll be right back” or “I’ll go for a bit.”

3. When to use:

When stepping away temporarily and implying that you’ll return soon.

Nalssi jota, geuchi?

Answer 107

The word “Sangseun” (상슨) is not a standard Korean term, so it might be a misspelling or an incorrect romanization. However, if you’re referring to “sang-sang” (상상), it means “imagination” or “imagining” in Korean. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Correct word: 상상 (Sang-sang)

Meaning: “Imagination” or “the act of imagining.”

As a verb, it becomes 상상하다 (sang-sang-ha-da), meaning “to imagine.”

2. Examples of usage:
3. 상상은 자유야.
   (Sangsang-eun jayuyah.)
   “Imagination is free.”
4. 그는 항상 미래를 상상해요.
   (Geuneun hangsang miraereul sangsanghaeyo.)
   “He always imagines the future.”
5. 상상 중이에요.
   (Sangsang jung-ieyo.)
   “I’m imagining it.”
6. If you mean something else:

The phrase “Wae Ireoke Yeppeu Yeo?” (왜 이렇게 예쁘셔요?) is a casual way of saying “Why are you so pretty?” in Korean, but it could be more formal or polite depending on the context.

Breaking it down:

1. Wae (왜):

Means “why.”

2. Ireoke (이렇게):

Means “like this” or “so” (indicating a manner or degree).

3. Yeppeu (예쁘):

The root form of “예쁘다” (yeppeuda), meaning “to be pretty.”

4. Yeo (셔요):

A polite, formal ending often used when talking respectfully to someone, especially when the person is older or in a higher position than you.
Polite alternative:

If you’re using more formal language or a respectful tone, you can say:

“왜 이렇게 예쁘세요?” (Wae ireoke yeppuseyo?)
This is a polite version of “Why are you so pretty?”
Casual version:

If you’re speaking to a friend or someone close, a more casual version would be:

“왜 이렇게 예뻐?” (Wae ireoke yeppeo?)

The word “Anha” (안하) on its own does not mean “Don’t laugh.” However, it can appear in phrases where “안” (meaning “not”) is combined with other verbs. Here’s a detailed explanation for expressing “Don’t laugh” in Korean:

1. Correct phrase for “Don’t laugh”:

웃지 마 (Utji ma) - Casual.

웃지 마세요 (Utji maseyo) - Polite.

2. Breaking it down:
3. 웃다 (Ut-da):

The verb “to laugh” or “to smile.”

2. 지 마 (Ji ma):

A negative command meaning “don’t do [something].”

3. 웃지 마 (Utji ma):

Literally translates to “Don’t laugh.”

4. 웃지 마세요 (Utji maseyo):

The polite version of “Don’t laugh.”

Where does “Anha” fit in?

“Anha” is the combination of “안” (not) and a verb stem with “하다” (to do).

For example: 안 웃어 (An useo) = “I’m not laughing.”

Examples in context:

1. 웃지 마! (Utji ma!)
   “Don’t laugh!” (Casual, commanding tone)
2. 제발 웃지 마세요. (Jebal utji maseyo.)
   “Please don’t laugh.” (Polite and softer)
3. 너 진짜 안 웃어? (Neo jinjja an useo?)
   “Are you really not laughing?”
   The phrase “Hoksi jigeum baro gal geoyeyo” (혹시 지금 바로 갈 거예요) can be translated as:

“By any chance, are you going to leave right now?”

Means “by any chance” or “just in case.”

It’s used to politely ask or inquire about something uncertain.

2. Jigeum (지금):

Means “now” or “at the moment.”

You can use this phrase to ask someone if they are planning to leave or go somewhere immediately. It’s polite and often used in formal or semi-formal situations.

Yes, “Dalla” (달라) means “different” in Korean. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

1. Meaning of “Dalla” (달라):

Derived from the adjective “다르다” (dareuda), which means “to be different.”

When conjugated to 달라 (dalla), it is the informal form used in casual conversation.

2. Usage Examples:
3. Casual Speech:
   이거 달라.
   (Igeo dalla.)
   “This is different.”
4. Polite Speech:
   이거 달라요.
   (Igeo dallayo.)
   “This is different.”
5. Comparison:
   그 사람은 나와 달라.
   (Geu sarameun nawa dalla.)
   “That person is different from me.”
6. Emphasis:
   생각이 달라.
   (Saenggagi dalla.)
   “The thoughts are different.”
7. Common Mistake:

Be careful not to confuse “달라” (dalla) with “달라” (dalla) meaning “I want” (from the verb “달라다”). Context usually makes the meaning clear. For example:

돈 달라. (Don dalla.)
“I want money.”

Would you like examples for more nuanced uses of “dalla”?
Yes, “Geuchi” (그치) is a casual way to say “Isn’t it?” or “Right?” in Korean. It is often used in informal conversation to seek agreement or confirmation from the listener.

Breaking down “Geuchi” (그치):

Derived from “Geuraeji” (그래지) or “Geureoji” (그러지):

그래 (Geurae): “That’s right” or “Yes.”

지 (Ji): A casual particle that adds a sense of seeking agreement.

Over time, this was shortened to “Geuchi” (그치) in spoken Korean.

Usage Examples:

1. 날씨 좋다, 그치?
   (Nalssi jota, geuchi?)
   “The weather’s nice, isn’t it?”
2. 우리 이제 가야 돼, 그치?

   “We have to go now, right?”
3. 그 사람 정말 웃기다, 그치?
   (Geu saram jeongmal utgida, geuchi?)
   “That person is really funny, isn’t he?”

Formal Alternative:

In formal situations, you’d say “Geujyo” (그죠) or “Geujogeoyeo” (그죠거예요) instead of “Geuchi.”

Question 108

Sigan eopseo
Sigani eolma an namasseoyo
Sigani bujokhaeyo
Sigan aneunde
Sigani eolma an namasseoyo. Ppalli gaya haeyo
Badaga eodiechi?

Answer 108

The phrase “Sigan aneunde” (시간 아는데) does not directly translate to “We’re running out of time. Let me break it down and explain its meaning:

1. Breaking down “Sigan aneunde” (시간 아는데):

Sigan (시간): Means “time.”

Aneunde (아는데):

Derived from the verb 알다 (alda), meaning “to know.”

The -는데 ending is used to add context or contrast, as if saying “I know (about time), but…”

Thus, “Sigan aneunde” translates to something like:
“I know about the time, but…”
It suggests there’s more to say after this phrase.

2. Correct way to say “We’re running out of time”:

To express “We’re running out of time” in Korean, you could say:

“시간이 부족해요” (Sigani bujokhaeyo):
“Time is lacking” or “We don’t have enough time.” (Polite)

“시간이 얼마 안 남았어요” (Sigani eolma an namasseoyo):
“There’s not much time left.” (Polite)

“시간 없어” (Sigan eopseo):
“There’s no time.” (Casual)
—

Example in context:

시간이 얼마 안 남았어요. 빨리 가야 해요.
(Sigani eolma an namasseoyo. Ppalli gaya haeyo.)
“We’re running out of time. We need to go quickly.”

Here’s the breakdown of your sentences in Korean:

1. “Badaga eodiechi?” (바다가 어디에치?)

바다가 (Badaga): “The sea” (subject marker -가 indicates the sea is the subject).

어디에 (eodie): “Where” (indicating location).

치 (chi): This seems like a colloquial or incorrect form of 있지 (itji), meaning “is at.”

The intended sentence is likely:
“바다가 어디에 있지?”
(Where is the sea?)

It translates as: “Where is the sea?”

2. “Badaga boyeyo” (바다가 보여요)

바다가 (Badaga): “The sea” (subject marker -가).

보여요 (boyeyo): “Can be seen” or “is visible” (from the verb 보다, “to see”).
This means: “I can see the sea” or “The sea is visible.”

Combined Context:

If you’re asking where the sea is and then stating you can see it, the conversation might go:

“바다가 어디에 있지?” (Where is the sea?)

“바다가 보여요.” (I can see the sea.)

Question 109

Wae beolseo yeogi ireoke wasseo?

Answer 109

The phrase “Wae beolseo yeogi ireoke?” (왜 벌써 여기 이렇게?) seems to be trying to express “Why are you here so soon?”, but it’s slightly off. Let’s break it down and correct it:

1. “Wae” (왜):

This means “Why.”

2. “Beolseo” (벌써):

“Beolseo” means “so soon” or “already”. It’s used to express that something has happened earlier than expected.

3. “Yeogi” (여기):

“Yeogi” means “here.”

4. “Ireoke” (이렇게):

“Ireoke” means “like this” or “so” (indicating manner or degree).

Corrected Phrase:

“Wae beolseo yeogi ireoke?” (왜 벌써 여기 이렇게?) can be corrected to:

“왜 벌써 여기 이렇게 왔어?” (Wae beolseo yeogi ireoke wasseo?)
“Why are you here so soon?”

Explanation:

“Wasseo” (왔어) is the past tense of “오다” (oda), meaning “to come,” so the correct phrase would imply that someone has arrived already.

“Ireoke” means “like this,” so you’re emphasizing the manner of arriving “so soon”.

Polite version:

If you want to say it more politely:

“왜 벌써 여기 이렇게 왔어요?” (Wae beolseo yeogi ireoke wasseoyo?)

Let me know if you’d like more details or further examples!

Question 110

Neo eonje wasseo?
Wasseo” and “Watda
Yeogi watda!
Igeoneun wasseo, batchi?

Answer 110

Great question! “Wasseo” (왔어) and “Watda” (왔다) both relate to the verb “오다” (oda), which means “to come” in Korean. However, they are used in different contexts and conjugated differently. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Wasseo (왔어):

Wasseo is the informal past tense form of 오다 (oda), meaning “to come.”

It is used in casual conversations with friends or people you’re close to.

Root verb: 오다 (oda) — “to come.”

Conjugation:

오다 (oda) → 왔어 (wasseo) (informal, past tense)

Example:

너 언제 왔어? (Neo eonje wasseo?)

2. Watda (왔다):
   Watda is also the past tense of 오다 (oda) but written in a slightly different form. The difference is simply in spelling, as “왔다” is a standard spelling used in dictionaries and writing, while “왔어” is a more colloquial version used in speech.

Root verb: 오다 (oda) — “to come.”

Conjugation:

오다 (oda) → 왔다 (watta) (informal, past tense)

Example:

여기 왔다! (Yeogi watda!)

“I came here!” or “I arrived here!” (informal)

Key Difference:

“Wasseo” is an informal past tense form that you’ll use in everyday speech.

“Watda” is the verb in its dictionary form (past tense). It’s a more standard written form and can appear in different contexts like announcements or more formal speech.

Summary:

Both “wasseo” and “watda” are related to “오다” (to come), with “wasseo” being more conversational (informal) and “watda” being more formal or dictionary-based.

The phrase “Igeoneun wasseo batchi” (이거는 왔어 바치) doesn’t quite form a grammatically correct sentence in Korean. It seems like you’re aiming to say something like “You were here, right?” Let’s break it down and correct it:

Possible intended meaning:

You might be trying to say: “You were here, right?” or “You came here, right?”

In this case, the more accurate expression would be:

Corrected version:

1. “Ige oneun wasseo, batchi?” (이거는 왔어, 맞지?)
   “You were here, right?” or “You came here, right?”

Breaking it down:

1. Igeoneun (이거는):

“Ige” means “this” (thing).

“-neun” is a topic marker, emphasizing “this.”

2. Wasseo (왔어):

The informal past tense of “오다” (oda) meaning “to come.”

“Wasseo” means “came” or “were here” in informal speech.

3. Batchi (맞지?):

“Batchi” is the casual way of asking “right?” or “isn’t it?” It comes from “맞다” (matda), meaning “to be correct.”

Final version:

So, “Igeoneun wasseo, batchi?” (이거는 왔어, 맞지?) could be used to confirm if someone has arrived or if they were present, like saying “You were here, right?” in a casual, informal way.

Question 111

Sasil ireona
Sasil ireona! Uri neujeosseo

Answer 111

The phrase “Sasil ireona” (사실 일어나) can be translated as “Actually, get up” or “To be honest, get up” in Korean. Let’s break it down:

Breaking it down:

1. Sasil (사실):

This means, “Where did you live when you were young?” in a polite, respectful form.

For a more casual version, you could say:

To ask “When you were young, where did you used to live in Korea?” in Korean, you can say:

“어렸을 때 한국에서 어디에 살았어요?” (Eoryeosseul ttae hangukeseo eodie salasseoyo?)

Question 123

Pildeu-eseo yeolsimhi ttwieosseo
Urineun pildeukkaji georeogasseo
Beolseo kkeutnaesseo?
Deudieo seonggonghaesseo!
Beolseo haesseo!

Answer 123

Here’s the breakdown of the words:

1. 필드 (Pildeu)

Meaning: “Field”

It is a Konglish term derived from the English word “field.” It can refer to a literal field (like in sports or outdoors) or metaphorical fields, such as areas of study or expertise.

Example: “필드에서 열심히 뛰었어요.” (Pildeu-eseo yeolsimhi ttwieosseoyo.)

“I worked hard on the field.”

2. 필드까지 (Pildeukkaji)

Meaning: “Up to the field” or “All the way to the field”

까지 (kkaji) means “up to,” “until,” or “as far as.” When combined with 필드, it describes going as far as the field or including the field in some context.

Example: “우리는 필드까지 걸어갔어요.” (Urineun pildeukkaji georeogasseoyo.)

“We walked all the way to the field.”

Your sentence, “Beolseo dodeo,” is almost correct in meaning, but there is a small adjustment needed in spelling and grammar for proper Korean:

The correct form should be:
“벌써 했다” (Beolseo haetda) or “드디어 했다” (Deudieo haetda).

Explanation:

1. 벌써 (Beolseo):

Means “already.” It indicates that something has happened earlier than expected.

Example: “벌써 끝냈어?” (Beolseo kkeutnaesseo?) - “Did you already finish?”

2. 드디어 (Deudieo):

Means “finally.” It is used to express achieving something after effort or waiting.

Example: “드디어 성공했어!” (Deudieo seonggonghaesseo!) - “I finally succeeded!”

3. 도더 (Dodeo):

This word is not used in Korean. It might be a typo or confusion.

To express “I finally did it,” you would typically say:
“드디어 해냈어!” (Deudieo haenaesseo!) in casual form.

If you meant “I already did it,” it would be:
“벌써 했어!” (Beolseo haesseo!) in casual form.

날씨가 안 좋아서 (Nalssiga an joaseo):

“The weather is not good.”

Question 129

Nado hanaman mureobolge
Nado mwo hanaman mureobwa-do dwae?
Nado hanmadiman halge
Nado ttak hanaman mureoboja.
Nado mwo hanaman mureoboryeogo

Answer 129

The phrase “나도 뭐라고 보자” (Nado mworago boja) isn’t a direct way to express “Let me also ask just one thing.” Here’s how you can naturally say it in Korean:

“나도 한 가지 물어보자.” (Nado han gaji mureoboja.)

This translates to “Let me also ask just one thing.”

Alternative Variations:

1. “나도 하나만 물어볼게.”
   (Nado hanaman mureobolge.)

Let me ask just one thing too.
2. “나도 뭐 하나만 물어봐도 돼?”
(Nado mwo hanaman mureobwa-do dwae?)

Can I ask just one thing too?

3. “나도 한마디만 할게.”
   (Nado hanmadiman halge.)

Uri mwodeunji gachi haja!
Na rang kkeutkkaji hamkke haja!
Na rang jeulgeopge da gachi haeboja!
Na rang sijakbuteo kkeutkkaji da gachi haja

Answer 130

The phrase “나랑 대자” (Na rang daeja) might not be the best way to express “Let’s do everything together” in Korean. A more natural and accurate way to say this is:

“나랑 다 같이 하자!” (Na rang da gachi haja!)

This translates to “Let’s do everything together!”

Here are some additional examples and variations:

Sample Sentences:

1. “나랑 모든 걸 같이 하자!”
   (Na rang modeun geol gachi haja!)

Dan han beon-do seonggonghaji mothaesseo

Answer 131

The phrase “단 한 번 더” (Dan han beon deo) means “Just one more time” in Korean, but if you’re asking about “not even once,” the correct Korean expression would be “단 한 번도” (Dan han beon-do). It emphasizes that something has never happened, not even once.

Question 135

Nalssiga oneul chupgo, baramdo bulgo, nuni ogo, bami dwaesseo. A, jinjja nalssiga an joa.

Answer 135

To include “windy” in the sentence, we can modify it as follows:

“날씨가 오늘 춥고, 바람도 불고, 눈이 오고, 밤이 됐어. 아, 진짜 날씨가 안 좋아.”
(Nalssiga oneul chupgo, baramdo bulgo, nuni ogo, bami dwaesseo. A, jinjja nalssiga an joa.)

Translation: “The weather is cold today, it’s windy, it’s snowing, and now it’s night. Ah, seriously, the weather is so bad.”

Explanation:

1. 바람도 불고 (Baramdo bulgo)

“It’s windy too.”

“불고” (bulgo) means “blowing and…” to connect it with the rest of the sentence.

This addition makes the sentence complete and fully descriptive of the cold, windy, snowy night! Let me know if you want more tweaks!

Question 141

Hana, dul, set! Annyeonghaseyo, Ive-imnida!

Hana, dul, set! Annyeonghaseyo, Ive-imnida! Oneul jal butakdeurimnida!

Answer 141

K-pop idols typically use a group introduction format during concerts or venues to greet fans. Among your examples, the most common and natural choice is the second one:

Example:

“하나, 둘, 셋! 안녕하세요, 아이브입니다!”
(Hana, dul, set! Annyeonghaseyo, Ive-imnida!)

Translation: “1, 2, 3! Hello, we are IVE!”

Why is this the preferred choice?

1. “Hana, dul, set”:

This countdown is a common practice for idols to synchronize their greeting.

It builds excitement and ensures they greet in unison.

2. Group Name Introduction:

Idols almost always say “안녕하세요, (Group Name)입니다” (Annyeonghaseyo, [Group Name]-imnida).

This introduces the group name in a respectful and collective way.

Why the Other Examples Aren’t Common:

1. “하나, 둘, 셋! 안녕하세요, 우리 아이브야입니다!”

This is grammatically incorrect because “야” is informal, while the audience context typically requires a polite tone (입니다).

2. “하나, 둘, 셋! 안녕하세요, 이름 아이브입니다!”

This would mean “Hello, name IVE,” which doesn’t make sense. K-pop groups don’t introduce themselves with “이름” (ireum), as it’s redundant.

Variations You Might Hear:

1. “하나, 둘, 셋! 안녕하세요, 아이브입니다! 사랑합니다!”
   (Hana, dul, set! Annyeonghaseyo, Ive-imnida! Saranghamnida!)

“Hello, we are IVE! We love you!”

2. “하나, 둘, 셋! 안녕하세요, 아이브입니다! 오늘 잘 부탁드립니다!”
   (Hana, dul, set! Annyeonghaseyo, Ive-imnida! Oneul jal butakdeurimnida!)

“Hello, we are IVE! Please take good care of us today!”

This cheerful and polite tone is characteristic of K-pop idol introductions.

Museowo? Wae geurae? Gwaenchanha
Museowo? Wae geurae? Gwisin bwasseo?

Answer 142

The phrase “무서워 왜 그래?” (Museo wae geurae?) can be translated as:

“Are you scared? What’s wrong?”

Or more casually: “Scared? What’s the matter?”

Breaking It Down:

1. 무서워 (Museowo):

Means “scared” or “afraid.”

It’s a casual or informal form of 무섭다 (museopda), which means “to be scary/afraid.”

2. 왜 그래 (Wae geurae):

Means “Why are you like that?” or “What’s wrong?”

Used to ask someone why they are acting a certain way or expressing concern.

Example Situations:

1. Comforting someone:
   “무서워? 왜 그래? 괜찮아.”
   (Museowo? Wae geurae? Gwaenchanha.)

“Are you scared? What’s wrong? It’s okay.”

2. In a surprising situation:
   “무서워? 왜 그래? 귀신 봤어?”
   (Museowo? Wae geurae? Gwisin bwasseo?)

“Are you scared? What’s wrong? Did you see a ghost?”

3. Casually joking:
   “무서워? 왜 그래, 겁쟁이야?”

Answer 143

The phrases “지금부터” (Jigeum buteo) and “지금 바로” (Jigeum baro) both relate to the present moment, but they are used in different contexts. Here’s a breakdown:

1. 지금부터 (Jigeum buteo)

Meaning: “From now on” or “Starting now.”

Usage: Refers to starting something at this moment and continuing into the future.

Example Sentences:

2. 지금부터는 건강에 신경 쓸 거야.
   (Jigeum buteoneun geongang-e singyeong sseul geoya.)

Geureom sijakhalkkayo?
Geureom baro sijakhalkkayo?
Geureom daeum dangyero sijakhalkkayo?
Geureom jigeum sijakhalkkayo?

Answer 144

The phrase “그럼 가 시작할까요?” (Geureom ga sijakhalkkayo?) can be translated as:

“Shall we begin then?”

“Then, shall we start?”

Breaking It Down:

1. 그럼 (Geureom):

Means “then” or “in that case.”

It connects the conversation logically, implying agreement or readiness to proceed.

2. 시작할까요? (Sijakhalkkayo?):

시작하다 (sijakhada): “to start” or “to begin.”

Adding -까요 makes it a polite suggestion or question, meaning “Shall we start?”

Corrected Example:

If you want to say “Shall we begin then?”, the phrase should be:
“그럼 시작할까요?” (Geureom sijakhalkkayo?)

Sample Sentences:

1. 그럼 바로 시작할까요?
   (Geureom baro sijakhalkkayo?)

“Then, shall we start right away?”

2. 그럼 다음 단계로 시작할까요?
   (Geureom daeum dangyero sijakhalkkayo?)

“Then, shall we start the next step?”

3. 그럼 지금 시작할까요?

Jamsiman jusipsio, got cheorihagetseumnida
Jamsiman jusipsio. Jeonhwa yeongyeol jungimnida
Jamsiman jusipsio, jega dasi hwaginhagetseumnida.

Answer 145

The phrase “잠시만 주십시오” (Jamsiman jusipsio) translates to:

“Please wait a moment.”

It is a formal and polite way of asking someone to wait.

Breaking It Down:

1. 잠시만 (Jamsiman):

Means “just a moment” or “for a short time.”

It’s derived from 잠시 (jamshi), meaning “a moment,” with the suffix -만 (man), meaning “only” or “just.”

2. 주십시오 (Jusipsio):

Means “please give” or “please do” in a highly formal and polite way.

Derived from the verb 주다 (juda, “to give”) in its formal honorific form.

Usage Context:

1. Formal Situations:

When speaking to someone in a higher position, such as customers, superiors, or strangers.

2. Everyday Equivalent:

“잠시만요.” (Jamsimanyo.)

A slightly less formal but still polite version often used in casual situations.

Example Sentences:

1. 잠시만 주십시오, 곧 처리하겠습니다.
   (Jamsiman jusipsio, got cheorihagetseumnida.)

“Please wait a moment, I’ll handle it right away.”

Question 146

Jeo maeuri boyeo? Vs Neo maeuri boyeo?

Answer 146

The correct way to say “Do you see that village?” in Korean is:

“저 마을이 보여?” (Jeo maeuri boyeo?)

Explanation:

1. 저 (Jeo):

Means “that” (referring to something far from both the speaker and listener).

Used when pointing out a distant object, like “that village.”

2. 마을 (Maeul):

Means “village.”

3. 이 (-i):

A subject marker indicating “the village” is the subject of the sentence.

4. 보여? (Boyeo?):

Comes from 보다 (Boda, “to see”).

보여 is the casual form of “Do you see…?”

Polite form: 보여요? (Boyeoyo?).

Why Not “Neo maeuri boyeo?”

Neo (You):

“너” (Neo) means “you,” so the sentence “너 마을이 보여?” translates to:

Question 147

Yojeum iri manhaseo bappeuji ana?

I munjereun jom bokjapane.
Hagin, geureokido haneyo.
Geu sarameun geureoke saenggakhal sudo ikketji.
Hagin, geureol sudo ikgetne
Geureoji vs Hagin

Answer 147

The word “하긴” (Hagin) is often used in Korean to express a sense of agreement or acknowledgment with a slight hesitation or realization. It can be translated as “I guess…”, “Well…”, or “Come to think of it…” depending on the context.

Breaking it Down:

1. 하긴 (Hagin):

It comes from “하긴”, which is a shortened form of “하기는” (Hagin), where “하기” comes from “하다” (hada, “to do”), and “는” is a particle used for emphasis or contrast.

“하긴” indicates that the speaker is acknowledging something, often with the implication that the fact is somewhat obvious or logical, but they’re considering it in the moment.

Usage and Examples:

1. Realizing or Acknowledging Something:

A: 요즘 일이 많아서 바쁘지 않아요? (Yojeum iri manhaseo bappeuji anayo?)
“Aren’t you busy these days with all the work?”

B: 하긴, 일이 많아서 바빠요. (Hagin, iri manhaseo bappayo.)
“I guess… I’m busy because of all the work.”

2. Expressing Agreement:

A: 이 문제는 좀 복잡하네. (I munjereun jom bokjapane.)
“This problem is a bit complicated.”

B: 하긴, 그렇기도 하네요. (Hagin, geureokido haneyo.)
“I guess, that’s true.”

3. A Mild Way to Agree or Hesitate:

A: 그 사람은 그렇게 생각할 수도 있겠지. (Geu sarameun geureoke saenggakhal sudo ikketji.)
“That person might think that way.”

B: 하긴, 그럴 수도 있겠네. (Hagin, geureol sudo ikgetne.)
“I guess, that could be the case.”

Alternatives for Similar Meanings:

그렇군요 (Geureokunyo) - A more formal way to acknowledge or express realization.

그렇지 (Geureoji) - A casual version of “I guess…”, often used to express agreement.

Answer 150

The phrase “맛있게 먹어” (Masitge meogeo) is the correct way to say “Enjoy your meal” in a casual tone. Here’s more detail:

Breaking It Down:

1. 맛있게 (Masitge):

Comes from 맛있다 (masitda), meaning “delicious.”

Adding -게 makes it an adverb, so 맛있게 means “deliciously” or “in a tasty way.”

Casual form of 먹다 (meokda), meaning “to eat.”

Together, 맛있게 먹어 means:

“Eat deliciously.”

I yeonghwaga jeongmal jaemiitdae
Geuranga? Hanbeon bwayaetne.
Naega jalmothaesseo
Geuranga? Jeongmallo?
Geurangayo?
Geureon geo gata

Answer 152

The phrase “그런가?” (Geuranga?) translates to:

“Is that so?”

“Really?” (with a slightly questioning or reflective tone).

Breaking It Down:

1. 그런 (Geureon):

Means “like that” or “such.”

Refers to something previously mentioned or implied.

2. 가? (Ga?):

Indicates a question.

In this case, it implies curiosity or seeking confirmation.

Nuance:

“그런가?” is a casual way of saying “Is that so?” and is often used when you’re pondering or doubting something.

It’s less formal than “그런가요?” (Geurangayo?), which is a polite way of asking the same thing.

Example Situations:

1. Hearing Surprising News:

A: 이 영화가 정말 재미있대. (I yeonghwaga jeongmal jaemiitdae.)

Question 153

Nae baemi appa
Maeumi neomu appa
Nae gaseumi appa
Na maeumi appa

Answer 153

The phrase “내 배미 아파” (Nae baemi appa) is not a standard way to say “My heart hurts.” It seems like a mix-up or a casual expression, but it could be interpreted as:

“My tummy (or insides) hurt” if it was meant to say “배” (bae, meaning stomach).

However, if you’re specifically referring to “heart” (emotionally or physically), the correct phrasing is different.

Correct Ways to Say “My Heart Hurts”:

1. Emotionally Hurting (Heartbroken):

“내 마음이 아파.” (Nae maeumi appa.)

Literal: “My heart hurts.” (Used emotionally)

“마음이 너무 아파.” (Maeumi neomu appa.)

“My heart hurts so much.”

2. Physically Hurting (Chest Pain):

“내 가슴이 아파.” (Nae gaseumi appa.)

Literal: “My chest hurts.” (Used for physical pain, but also metaphorical heartache)

Casual and Polite Forms:

1. Casual (with friends or peers):

“나 마음이 아파.” (Na maeumi appa.)

2. Polite (for formal situations):

“제 마음이 아파요.” (Je maeumi apayo.)

Question 154

Geureota
Eoje neo sukje haesseo?
Geuraetjiyo.
Geuttae jaemiisseotjyo?
Ne, geuraetjiyo.
Igeol dowajul su isseo?
Geureomyo!

Answer 154

The phrase “그랬지요” (Geuraetjiyo) can be translated as “Of course,” but its meaning and nuance depend on the context.

Breaking It Down:

1. 그랬 (Geuraet):

Comes from the verb 그렇다 (Geureota), meaning “to be like that” or “to agree with what was said.”

그랬 is the past tense form, indicating something that already happened or was agreed upon.

2. 지요 (-jiyo):

A polite sentence ending that confirms or emphasizes something the speaker assumes the listener agrees with.

Together, “그랬지요” means:

“That’s right.”

“Of course.”

“Yes, it was like that.”

Usage Context:

1. Confirming Agreement or Memory:

A: 어제 너 숙제 했어? (Eoje neo sukje haesseo?)
“Did you do your homework yesterday?”

B: 그랬지요. (Geuraetjiyo.)
“Of course, I did.”

2. Affirming Politeness:

그때 재미있었죠? (Geuttae jaemiisseotjyo?)
“It was fun back then, wasn’t it?”

네, 그랬지요. (Ne, geuraetjiyo.)
“Yes, it was.”

Alternatives for “Of Course”:

If you meant “of course” in a more casual or definitive way, these are better:

1. 물론이에요 (Mullon-ieyo): Polite/formal
2. 당연하지 (Dangyeonhaji): Casual
3. 그럼요 (Geureomyo): Polite, commonly used in speech

Example:

A: 이걸 도와줄 수 있어요? (Igeol dowajul su isseoyo?)
“Can you help me with this?”

B: 그럼요! (Geureomyo!)
“Of course!”

Question 155

Geu chaek na hante jwo
Wae na hante mureobwa?
Na hante doneul billyeosseo
Geuga na hante seonmureul jwosseo
Jeoege malsseumhae juseyo

Answer 155

The phrase “나한테” (Na hante) translates to “to me” or “from me” depending on the context. It’s a casual form used to indicate that something is directed toward or involves the speaker (me).

Breaking It Down:

1. 나 (Na):

Means “I” or “me” in informal speech.

2. 한테 (Hante):

A particle used to indicate the target of an action, meaning “to,” “from,” or “by” in casual contexts.

한테 is informal; the formal equivalent is 에게 (ege).

Usage Examples:

1. “To me”

그 책 나한테 줘.
(Geu chaek na hante jwo.)

“Give that book to me.”

왜 나한테 물어봐?
(Wae na hante mureobwa?)

“Why are you asking me?”

2. “From me”

나한테 돈을 빌렸어.
(Na hante doneul billyeosseo.)

“You borrowed money from me.”

그가 나한테 선물을 줬어.
(Geuga na hante seonmureul jwosseo.)

“He gave me a gift.”

“한테” is informal, so avoid using it in formal or professional situations. Instead, use “저에게” (Jeoege) or “나에게” (Na-ege) for politeness.

Example: “저에게 말씀해 주세요.” (Jeoege malsseumhae juseyo.) - “Please tell me.”

Question 156

Jamsiman jusipsio, got cheorihagetseumnida
Jamsiman jusipsio. Jeonhwa yeongyeol jungimnida
Jamsiman jusipsio, jega dasi hwaginhagetseumnida

Answer 156

The phrase “잠시만 주십시오” (Jamsiman jusipsio) translates to:

“Please wait a moment.”

It is a formal and polite way of asking someone to wait.

Breaking It Down:

1. 잠시만 (Jamsiman):

Means “just a moment” or “for a short time.”

It’s derived from 잠시 (jamshi), meaning “a moment,” with the suffix -만 (man), meaning “only” or “just.”

2. 주십시오 (Jusipsio):

Means “please give” or “please do” in a highly formal and polite way.

Derived from the verb 주다 (juda, “to give”) in its formal honorific form.

Usage Context:

1. Formal Situations:

When speaking to someone in a higher position, such as customers, superiors, or strangers.

2. Everyday Equivalent:

“잠시만요.” (Jamsimanyo.)

Answer 157

The phrase “그럼 가 시작할까요?” (Geureom ga sijakhalkkayo?) can be translated as:

Breaking It Down:

1. 그럼 (Geureom):

Means “then” or “in that case.”

It connects the conversation logically, implying agreement or readiness to proceed.

2. 시작할까요? (Sijakhalkkayo?):

시작하다 (sijakhada): “to start” or “to begin.”

Adding -까요 makes it a polite suggestion or question, meaning “Shall we start?”
