From now on, I think i can make korean lesson feature within this blog.
So i added one of my lesson for you, if you are really interesting in learning korean.
Actually, I have been publishing the english lesson in pretty famous monthly magazine in S.korea. I used to take a role of article explaining the meaning of sentence with cartoon like above which is drawn by SAKIROO, my old good buddy and character designer.
However, I think I can use it as a korean lesson for forigners by way of contrast.
Today is the first topic for the korean lesson in OKIROO's blog
A : Why don’t we do it this way?
이런 식으로 하면 어떠한가요? (E RUN SIKURO HAMYEON U TTER HANN GA YO? )
B: Are you serious? Let it remain as it is
진심이야? 그냥 그대로 나둬 ( JINSIM E YA? Keu-Nyang Keu Dae Ro Na Dwo. )
I hope i made good letters to pronounce with your accent. I really tried my best.
Incase of the first sentence,
E RUN SIKURO HAMYEON U TTER HANN GA YO?
E Run Sik... means This way
And When you try to suggest some thing you want
You would say like Why don't we ... blahblah
In korean, however, you can say blahblah~ U TTER HANN GA YO?
Yo is alway added on end of sentences you make if you try to make respectful way of speaking.
Korean use the couple of diffent respectful way of speaking according to the relationship with the someone you talking to.
When you talk with your close friend, you don't need to add the YO things. But when you try to speak with some one you first to see each other or who is older than you etc
You should remember the word 'YO' you have to add on every end of speaking.
Got it?
hahahaha
Next is the Are you Serious?
진심이야? 그냥 그대로 나둬 ( JINSIM E YA? Keu-Nyang Keu Dae Ro Na Dwo. )
JIN SIM mean your the whole[true] heart or sincerity.
진심(眞心)
In chinese letter we can pronounce it as a korean way.
진 JIN 眞 True, sincerity..etc
심 SIM 心 heart
There are too much to explain the whole bunch of meaning with chinese.
Let me briefly talk only about uses with JIN SIM E YA? things
I hope you can't directly say that word to your partner if you are not familar with him or her.
As i said, Always remember the word, YO.
If you want to use that kind of way asking for their intend or thought by some one you are not that close with or older than you, you have to be careful and show repectful expression with.... YO.
You have to change the someword, E YA within JIN SIM E YA . OK?
You 'd better say JIN SIM E SE YO?
진심이세요?
Feel free to ask me if you have a question about korean plz~~!!
