He has got a hot body!

Hi all. I guess it is mandatory for a singer to have a hot body these days. :) Have you heard about Rain? He is like a Korean version of Usher. He starred in a move called "Ninja Assassin" recently. I think he has the best body out of all singers in K-pop. He definitely deserved "Biggest Badass Star" award at 2010 MTV Movie Awards. :)


He has got a hot body!
그는 몸이 끝내줘요!


그는, genun, he + suffix
몸이, momi, body + suffix
끝내줘요, ggennejuoyo, wonderful (끝내주다)


그는 몸이 끝내줘요!
genun momi ggennejuoyo!


끝내주다 literally means it finishes off everything else, hence it is the best! You can use this expression for anything; taste, appearance, movies, idea, event, anything. :)

맛이 끝내줘요. -> Absolutely delicious.
영화가 끝내줘요. -> The movie is fantastic.
파티가 끝내줬어요. -> The concert was great.

You can also make 끝내주다 more a form of adjective and say 끝내주는 맛, 끝내주는 영화, 끝내주는 파티 etc.

BTW, there is an interesting word, 짱 (jjang) which means something is the best of the best. So, 몸짱 (momjjang) indicate a person with a hot body while 얼짱 (earljjang) means a person with a beautiful face. You can also say noun + 짱 to mean that object is the best of the best. E.g. 동방신기 짱, Learn Korean Easily 짱 etc ;)

Rain is 몸짱 as well as 얼짱! Check out his latest music video from here.
Bye!

Please top up 5000 won on my card.

Hi all. Isn't it daunting to figure out a bus fare, find the right coins or notes and make sure you get the correct changes and so on when you visit a country for the first time? I hereby declare that it is a thing in the past! :) We have something called T-money which you can use on bus, taxi and subway in Seoul and some other cities. You can even use it at a convenient store to pay for the goods. Most convenient stores sell T-money cards and you can top up T-money from there too. So use this when you visit Seoul if you don't want to come back with a bag full of coins. :) Please top up 5000 won on my T-money card. 티머니 카드에 오천원 충전해 주세요. 티머니, T-money, T-money 카드에, cardae, card + suffix 오천원, ohchunwon, 5000 + won 충전해, chungjonhae, recharge (충전하다) 주세요, jusaeyo, give me (주다) 티머니 카드에 오천원 충전해 주세요. T-money cardae ohchunwon chungjonhae jusaeyo. The won is the Korean currency. Thanks to the inflation over the past half-century, the numbers are quite big compared to their value. Your ch

From which exit should we meet?

Hi guys. Let's say, you have arrived at your subway station safely. That's great! But it is too soon to be relieved. You have accomplished only a half of the challenge and the second half is finding the right exit. :) You will see what I mean if you take a look at this map . It is where the city hall is and shows how many subway stations multiplied by the number of exits are concentrated in a small area. So, include the right exit number to your planning before you travel. A subway exit is great for a meeting spot so this expression might be helpful. :) From which exit should we meet? 몇번 출구에서 만날까요? 몇번, myotbun, which number 출구에서, chulgooaeso, exit + suffix 만날까요, mannalggayo, should we meet? (만나다) 몇번 출구에서 만날까요? myotbun chulgooaeso mannalggayo? 몇 means 'some unknown number' and 번 is a count word. There are different ways of counting in Korean as describe here . In short, '일, 이, 삼..' style is used for things in order while '하나, 둘, 셋..' style is for counting

And then, and then

I have a couple of international colleagues at work. They are quite eager to learn Korean so I teach or correct them whenever I have a chance. Yesterday, we were going to have coffee after lunch and one guy said, "밥 먹은 다음에 커피 마셔요" It is totally correct. But we can also say, "밥 먹고 나서 커피 마셔요". Let's have coffee after lunch. 밥 먹고 나서 커피 마셔요. 밥 먹은 다음에 커피 마셔요. 식사하고 나서 커피 마셔요. 식사한 다음에 커피 마셔요. 밥, 식사, meal ~고 나서, after something ~은/는 다음에, after something 마시다, drink 마셔요, let's drink 밥 먹고 나서 커피 마셔요. bab mokgo naso kopi mashoyo. 밥 먹은 다음에 커피 마셔요. bab mokun daumae kopi mashoyo. 식사하고 나서 커피 마셔요. siksahago naso kopi mashoyo. 식사한 다음에 커피 마셔요. siksahan daumae kopi mashoyo. One of the hardest things of learning any language is the fact that there are usually more than one way of saying the same thing. But knowing different expressions for the same meaning will make your speaking more rich! Hope you don't give up!! :-)
