So you saw the pattern? Yea I was feeling crazy one time and just asked my friend to translate phrases for me. She didn't have time to explain them to me though, and those were the ones she came up with. I just had to ask for the literal meanings! Those were the last ones on death, some are equally as stupid though!



Oh another one!! I asked one of my friends to translate "Where's the toilet, I want to barf." But he personally refused to translate the barf part, and ended up with 화장실이 어디에요? Someone else translated it for me (I wanna barf), 드림 하고싶아.

I showed it to my friend again and he said it was correct. But he didn't want to give out 드림 하고싶아, or I think 드림 exactly. He was saying something about me saying the phrase, and then I'd get a retort and made fun of. ANYONE KNOWS...WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THAT?

For the record, I'm not really using any of these. Just doing them for fun.

For "I wanna barf" you should say 토할래(요) or 토하고 싶어(요). But why would you say "wanna" instead of "have to"? lol

^ You might be right. LOL my poor English
Thanks thanks!

Ermmm... if you wanna say "I have to barf" then it's 토해야 돼. lol The other translations mean "wanna."
Wait... Do you WANT to barf or do you HAVE to? XD

i realize that some words in japanese and korea are very similar. is this because of previous japanese invasion?... because i would think these words existed before that. like promise is "yakusoku" in japanese and "yaksok" in korean, and newspaper is "shinbun" in japanese and "shinmun" in korean. there are a lot of other words too...

^well, it's more likely because the Koreans and the Japanese borrowed a lot of their languages from the Chinese. Although the Koreans can borrow words from the Japanese, the similarities you see is most likely because of this

No. Like theedqueen said, it's because Japanese and Korean have borrowed a lot of Chinese words. However, Korean has borrowed a few Japanese words, but mostly older people use them (for example, saying "ippai" meaning "a lot"). There are also some Japanese dialects that have borrowed a few Korean words.

^ so that means those words will almost sound the same in chinese too?

(sorry if it's a dumb question...)

If I want to send a package to Korea and I have the korean address, how would I write it on the package? I have no idea what any of this means

부산광역시 연재구 연산3동 산161-1 번지 611-834

I had a great laugh. haha
I normally speak English to the youngsters and Korean to elders.

I'm not exactly sure what I was thinking when I formulated the question (I wanna barf - in a sarcastic way or I really have to barf). I think I changed my purpose in between. XD But I have the translations either way, so that's good.

Do you happen to know though why my friend didn't want to tell me about 드림? There seems to be a cultural context behind that. He was telling me something about me saying it, and then being made fun of (like they'll say something back).

can someone please translate this into korean please??

I have some questions....^^

A: 한국어를 그렇게 배우고 싶니?

B: 그래, 좀 가르쳐 줘/그래, 좀 가르치면 안 될까? (Are both styles of saying it ok?)

A:It depends... 밥을 사 주면 가르칠 게 (I would like to know how to say "Well...it depends" in Korean, like in an evil tone....hehe)


Is the grammer alright in this? I wrote what I would like to say in English below:

내가 고등학교를 졸업한 그 년에 SARS가 생겼가지고 대만에 못 갔어요.
I couldn't go back to Taiwan the year I graduated from High School because of SARS

how do you say 입원 ? i know it means to be admitted to a hospital or be hospitalized but does the b sound transfer to the won sounds so itll be like i bon or ib won

just wondering..
you know how you can translate korean names to chinese, and chinese names to korean..
how would you translate this --> 陈士嘉?
thanks!

I have a question. I've been hearing this word for the past couple of weeks and have yet to figure out what it means.

It sounds something like Meadah

I hear it in everything! The MC on Star Golden Bell says it during the Speed English game when then are running out of time. I was watching the news just last night and they said it numerous times.. They even say it on this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=hc_8zu3C62k.

The word is driving me crazy!

eep won, the second one.



if only I knew chinese =_=



I'm not sure what that is but are you talking about when she says

shigan upsume ni dah? you no how it says NI DAH? is that what your asking?

If it is then those are ending words to the sentence.

"there is no more time left"

shigan upsume (ni dah) <
No time (ni dah)

sorry if Im confusing you or you were talking about something else

Thank you so much! It was driving me crazy! I thought it had something to do with time but couldn't understand.. and I didn't help that I was thinking it was an M sound!

드림 is a formal way to say throw up, but it's still awkward to say you have to vomit if you're being polite. The person who translated "where's the bathroom" translated it into a polite form.

노래를 굉장히 잘한다고 생각합니다.
영원히 그대의 넘버원 팬.
Karen 올림

Either is fine, but officially it's romanized AGASSI. Still, it sounds more like ah-gah-shi.

Both are OK, but say 그래, 좀 가르쳐주면 안 될까 instead of 그래, 좀 가르치면 안 될까. Also, write 밥을 사주면 가르쳐줄게.

I'd just say 글쎄 for "it depends" but in an evil way

Also, the grammar is kinda off in your sentence. SARS 때문에 제가 고등학교를 졸업한 해에 대만으로 못 돌아갔어요. But of course there are many other ways to write the same thing. ^^

It sounds like I-BWON 이붠. Saying it like IP-WON would be awkward.

It translates to 진사가. Jin Saga. Nice name.

Nida is a formal/very polite way to end sentences.

Okay. Can someone translate these for me? These are once again some of the lines that weren't able to be translated from the chinese sub for SBS X-Man. I know it's a lot but I seriously thank those that are able to help. I'll even credit whomever translates when I finish subbing. And an early thank you to whomever is able to translate these for me .

in my understand your saying
A. you want to learn korean like that? (sounds a bit sarcastic)
i would say
한국어를 어떻게 배우고 싶어?/싶니?/싶습니까?/싶어요? (how would you like to learn korean?)

by the reply of B, i would say 한국어를 가르쳐 줄까?/한국어를 배우고 싶니?

B. 그래, 좀 가르쳐 줘 is ok
the other part i would say 그래, 좀 가르쳐주면 안 될까?
the "가르치면" doesn't really sound that natural to my ears

A. 뭐... 니가 밥을 산다면 내가 고려해보지 would be
A. well... i'll think about it if you buy me a meal

제가 고등학교를 졸업한 해에 대만에서 SARS가 퍼져서/생겨서 돌아가질 못 했습니다.



to say it like a korean news anchor, you would pronounce it EEB WON
but most koreans say it eebwon

notice that the tv people would pronounce each and every word
but most of us would just pronounce it together but you might hear it as
이붠



i wasn't able to see the clip since i'm at work
the only word that comes to mind is "meter"

No, I don't think she means that. 그렇게 also means "really/that much/that badly" depending on context.

한국어를 그렇게 배우고 싶니? - Do you wanna learn Korean that badly/that much?

hmmm... ic ic

in that case yea. that's alright too.

but it does get confusing since it wasn't spoken

this wouldn't be bad either

한국어를 그렇게도 배우고 싶니?

again, if it was spoken, it would of made more sense to some

THANKS A LOT chewy117 and Jaeho for both of your wonderful explanations and suggestions~!!!!! They really helped me out a lot!!! By reading what you guys wrote, I can get a feel for what is natural to say in Korean. So cool you guys can use your ears to tell you whats right and whats awkward. I am working on that (kinda) by watching as much Korean talk shows and dramas as I can...lol...but there are so many expression patterns, so its hard to pull them out of my head when I need it.

*edit*

한국어를 가르쳐 줄까? <~~~Does this mean, Can you teach me Korean?

If so...how do you say....Want me to teach you Korean?

Can anyone translate this link for me? It's something new that is flashing in clubbox.

http://www.clubbox.co.kr/event.fld/halftime/main.html

Sure would appreciate it!

wheee.. can you translate my chinese name into korean too? thankss. im just curious. haha.

my chinese name: 粱淑盈.

Can someone please TYPE this for me? I can't type Korean cause I don't have them Korean keyboard stickers x____x' please help, thank you <3


btw -- Thanks Jaeho, for helping <3
But HOW DO YOU SAY IT? ><'

^ I think it's 재니.

I've always wondered how to translate mines.
Can you translate mines as well? Thanks =)

陆嘉敏 (Mandarin: Lu Jia Min)

no problem

한국어를 가르쳐 줄까? would be the opposite of "can you teach me korean?"
if you want to be very direct -> 내가 한국어를 가르쳐 줄까?
but since your telling/asking already you may ignore the "내가"

and "can you teach me korean?" would a bit similar what we have talked about earlier->

저에게 한국어를 가르쳐 줄수 있습니까?

저에게 한국어를 가르쳐 주실수 있으시겠습니까? <-are you able to teach me korean?

저에게 한국어를 가르쳐 주실 의향이 있으십니까? <-do you mind teaching me korean?

당신이 저에게 한국어를 가르쳐 주세요
당신이 저에게 한국어를 가르쳐 주셨음 합니다
^i would like you to teach me korean
unlike asking this would be a request
in english you would use "please" when you request something
but "please=제발"
well, kinda... if you use 제발, that would be more like begging

당신이 저에게 한국어를 가르쳐 주길 바랍니다 <-i hope you may teach me korean.

well, i think this would be enough for now


its a World Cup event for "quick down load"

ahh thank you soo much!!
hehe thats my chinese name =P

Is my chinese name 宋美慧 ; Song Mi Hye in Korean?
Thanks in advance^^


Another question...
Why do people say Kim Tai Hui, instead of Kim Tae Hee?
And also Kim Hui Sun and Lee Yeon Hui instead of Kim Hee Sun and Lee Yeon Hee..
Is it correct to write it that way?
When you pronounce, its the same way too?

Personally, I think the Hui thing opposed to Hee is wrong. Because when I see "Hui," I read it like "Hwee," which is not how you pronounce it in Korean. 희, as in Kim TaeHEE or Kim HEESun or Lee YeonHEE, is pronounced like HEE (as I said several times, haha).

^
Ahh. No wonder.
Thats why I always got confused.
I thought they were Hee not Hwee/Hui.
And if I write it out, its different and kinda weird.
Thanks^^

I'm guessing it should sound like je-ni? (Romanized as jae-ni)...
Did I get that right?

can you guys help me translate this...i have no idea what it said...thank you

wrong thread?

한국어를 가르쳐 줄까? means "Shall I teach you Korean?"


Your Korean name is 양숙영. Yang Sugyeong / Yang Soo Gyoung

Your Korean name is 육가민. Yuk Gamin / Yook Ga Min


Yup, it's Song Mi Hye (Hye sounds like Heh) 송미혜

People write 희 as "hui" sometimes because it's spelled like that in Hangul, but it's pronounced like HEE/HI.

Good luck trying to pronounce this.

How did you learn your 한문??
