Learn Korean Easily

Hi guys. Some stars really good at maintaining a perfectly elegant persona publicly, they just make me wonder if they ever burp or release gas inappropriately. Let me give you examples. 이영애 from 대장금 and 배용준 from 겨울연가 . I wouldn't be surprised even if they never do such gross things. lol. Anyway, we have a perfect expression in Korean for that kind of people. She is so elegant whatever she does. 그녀는 뭘 해도 귀티가 흐르네요. 그녀는, genyuonun, she + suffix 뭘, mual, whatever 해도, haedo, even if.. does something (하다) 귀티가, guiteega, sense of elegance + suffix 흐르네요, huruneyo, run or flow (흐르다) 그녀는 뭘 해도 귀티가 흐르네요. genyuonun mual haedo guiteega huruneyo. It is literally saying the sense of elegance is flowing out of that person. How graceful is this. :) The opposite is not that different. If you say 촌티 (chontee), that is exactly opposite of 귀티. Do you remember when Susan Boyle first appeared on 'Britain's Got Talent' show? At first, 그녀는 촌티가 흘렀어요. But since the show, she has transformed a...

Hi guys! We have the first female Prime Minister in Australia ! How great is that! :) She will be a great role model for young girls not just in Australia but around the world. I wish her all the best! While our new PM sort out the big issues, let's go back to my trivial problem. Hang on. Maybe it is not so trivial, if you consider acne could affect self-esteem. :( What if it never goes away? 영원히 안 없어지면 어쩌지요? 영원히, youngwonhee, forever (영원하다) 안, an, not 없어지면, upsojimyeon, disappear (없다) 어쩌지요, ajjuajiyo, what should I do (어찌하다) 영원히 안 없어지면 어쩌지요? youngwonhee an upsojimyeon ajjuajiyo? I covered a conditional case using -도 some time ago. -면 in today's sentence also has the similar meaning. I thought about the differences between two for the last 30 minutes! And my conclusion is if the sentence makes sense when you replace 'if' with 'when' -면 can be used. 시험에 떨어지면 어쩌지요? -> What should I do if/when I fail the exam? 시험에 떨어져도 괜찮아요? -> Is it OK even if I fail the ex...

Hi! Social network services such as facebook and twitter became part of our lives these days, at least for most of whom I know. Then there are technologies that allow us to take photos and upload them instantly using mobile devices. It is so easy to forget that there are people who don't like their photo being taken not to mention shared on the internet. Let's not forget to get their consent before we press the share button. :) Is it OK if I upload this picture to facebook? 이 사진을 페이스북에 업로드해도 괜찮아요? 이, yi, this 사진을, sajineul, picture + suffic 페이스북에, pacebookae, facebook + suffix 업로드해도, uploadhaedo, if uploaded (업로드하다) 괜찮아요, gwenchanayo, it is OK (괜찮다) 이 사진을 페이스북에 업로드해도 괜찮아요? yi sajineul pacebookae uploadhaedo gwenchanayo? upload하다 is a loanword and there are a lot of these in Korean as in Japanese. download하다, login하다, logout하다, invite하다, follow하다, cool하다, sexy하다 and so on. It is quite convenient to turn English words to Korean just by adding -하다. But their are some bad examples...
