How about KFC?

Hello everyone! I just had KFC Mega meal with friends. Yummy! :) So here is today's expression. How about KFC for dinner? 저녁은 KFC 어때요? 저녁은, cho-neok-en, dinner 어때요?, a-dae-yo?, How about something? 저녁은 KFC 어때요? cho-neok-en KFC a-dae-yo? The primary meaning of 저녁 is evening. But in this context it means meals for dinner. It is similar for breakfast and lunch. 아침, a-chim, morning or breakfast 점심, chum-sim, afternoon or lunch 은 that follows 저녁 is one of the suffixes. Suffixes are very common in Korean grammar . 어때요? is also a very common expression that has versatile usages. Use this when you want to ask about a state of things or someone's opinion on something. It is also useful when you suggest something to someone. For example, "날씨가 어때요? nal-ssi-ga a-dae-yo?" means "How's the weather?". "영국은 어때요?, young-guk-en a-dae-yo? means "What's it like in England?" or "How about England?" depending on the context. Have a good evening! :...

Let's have some food.

I was thinking about this week's theme and I thought why not talk about food! Yep, it is a ground breaking idea-- Not. ;) Is there anyone who doesn't like food? I love food. Korean, Japanese, Thai, Indian, Greek, American, Brazilian, Turkish, Vietnamese, Mediterranean, Chinese of course, Spanish, you name it. Anyway, let's learn how to suggest someone to eat. 뭐 좀 먹을래요? Would you like to have some food? 뭐, mo, what 좀, chom, little bit 먹을래요?, mo-gul-le-yo?, eat? 뭐 좀 먹을래요? mo chom mo-gul-le-yo? First of all, I think I need to mention that in Korean, we tend to omit a subject from the sentence when it is obvious. Actually, it sounds a bit awkward if I try to add a word for "you" to this sentence. But it is OK if you use a title. For example, "선생님, 뭐 좀 먹을래요?" or "학생, 뭐 좀 먹을래요?" 선생님, sun-saeng-nim, teacher 학생, hak-saeng, student 좀, chom, is commonly used just like we use a lot of "a bit" or "a little bit", in English sentences. ...
