my friend needs help translating this quote for her fanfic!

"I know she likes you, but is it okay if i like you too?"

Hi...I was just wondering, is there some kind of trick or something you can use to figure out when you're supposed to use ㅐ or ㅔ when you write certain korean words? Like when you write "dog" in korean, you use to first one, and when you write "crab" in korean, you use the latter, but both words sound the same (to my ears atleast).

Are you just supposed learn by memory which words use which of those compound vowels, or is there some other way you can tell?

For me, this is hardest part about writing korean...

ummm i think you just have to figure it out from sentence

"(insert name)이/가 널 좋아하는거 알아.. 아는데, 나도 너 좋아하면 안되겠니?"


Yes, it can get quite difficult and confusing sometimes, but as the saying goes, practice makes perfect.
I don't know how I got the hang of it, but you DO get used to it after a while.
Just write write write, see how it goes(: If you still have trouble, hmm.. I don't know how I can help you.^^;
But firstly. JUST PRACTISE(:
Good luck!


muchlove!

could someone please tell me what this says



(let me know if you have trouble seeing it..I can make it bigger =P)

NEW POST: apparently i clicked "new topic" instead of "add reply" in this section.. so kinda made a new thread in general discussion section.. ma bad..

ok.. anyway, the real thing i need help with is..

1. Im learning Han'gul from a newly made friend who recently arrived from S. Korea, she's really nice and really pretty .. anyway.. she helped me alot with Korean alphabet, now just 2 weeks after my alphabet lessons, i can read/write korean characters.. sooo cool .

anyway, I can read korean newspapers, but really really slow, as in syllable by syllable, though i cant understand what i read sometimes.. im still learning.. "hangugeo chogum hasuisumnida" ~ if im right, it roughly translates to: "I know a little korean".. well back to topic.

She just got here in the US, and her English isnt perfect, she often asked me to correct her English whenever she makes a mistake. but to me she speaks very well, she just needs the confidence, she's a bit shy did i mention she's cute?

anyway, i said ill teach her english if she helps me learn korean, and well she did that.. but i dunno how to teach her English.. or at least gain confidence in speaking it. been 2 weeks since i saw her, I've been busy looking for bookstores everywhere, anything that might help boost her confidence. Then I found book + audio CDs titled: "Fluent English" then i said: "YAY!" so i bought that for her.. i gift wrapped it, now im just waiting till this Sunday to give it to her.. *I attend a Korean Church, but im Filipino* my question now is this:

"how do I write "hope this helps" in Korean?" ~if you can type in korean that would be nice, so i can copy it and put it in the card.. if not, could you try to romanize the phrase? if you can do that I can try converting it to Han'gul. Thank You!

and another thing:

2. anyone here plays Trickster Online?

Can't help you with "Hope this helps" but it's "hangukeo chogeum hal su isseumnida" or in 한글, 한국어 조금 할 수 있습니다. and btw, that's really formal.

Sorry I have to ask you guys again....>___< But can anyone type the hangeul for "blossom"? Thank you!

It says 'You f_cking stalker I said to come here and do some briefing'. o_o hmm..


"hope this helps"- 도움이 됬으면 좋겠다. doh eum ee dwe sseu myun joh ket da.


송이? songee? is that what you wanted? o_o

can someone please translate this to korean for me?
"please cancel the yellow one for me but keep the black as is. Thank you"
&
"please change the yellow to white for me but keep the black as is. Thank you"

I know how to swear in Korean and that is about it.

LOLL ,, thanks..I thought I saw a swear in that comment looks like LSE has a stalker

^ 강성훈 - 아껴둔 이야기


I've only seen a little bit of Bad Family... Was it 흙 냄새 맡고 싶냐? Heuk nemse matgo shimnya?


검은 건 그대로 두시고 노란 건 취소해주세요. 고맙습니다.
검은 건 그대로 두시고 노란 건 하얀 걸로 바꿔주세요. 고맙습니다.



"Please leave me alone."

thanks

"Oops! I'm turning red,
Who could this be?"

Can I get that into lyrical korean?

Umm.. I've never heard of Bad Family but if you wanna say "Do you want to smell dirt?" it'd be...

Nu huk naemsae matabogoshipu?

isn't it saeng il chuk ha hae (생일 축하해)?
i learned that from my korean friend.

yeah it is 생일을 축하해 and for elderly its 생신 instead of 생일 =]
hope that helped =]

i am a korean american, and whenever i speak in korean, people say that i have an american accent. is there any way to get rid of that accent when i speak or am i stuck with it?

Never mind i found his name, hehe whoever wrote it down wrote it wrong! i was like, why cant i find this guy??? anywho neverminds now! i know his name and the song name!

The only thing I can think of is Practice. Your tongue/vocals have to get used to it.

But I bet you'll always have at least a small accent when you speak.

Huh? I replied and gave the name and title in my post up there... or are you saying I was wrong?

Can someone translate these for me?

1.

세상이 다 뜻하는돼로 돼는거라면 다하죠
왜그렇게 우울해있어요.. 그런다고
다돼는줄알아요? 기죽지말고 이럴수록 힘내요
저두 힘든일많고 세상이 호락호락하지않으니
더욱기운차리고 사는거에요!
당신 일어설준비됐죠? 힘내요! 내버려두면
뭐가 변할줄알고그래요? 바보처럼
혼자그런다고 누가다해준대요? 결국은
혼자라는거 잊지말고 힘내요
그쪽을어떻게하다 알게됀사람으로써 하는말입니다.. 귀에새겨들으세요!

and these..

can someone tell me what's my chinese name in korean?

thanks!

???

That's really encouraging xD

But yeah, only thing you can do is practice. I have seen complete mini cooper accents become native-level, so keep using korean. I'm guessing for someone like you, who was raised by a korean mommy but grew up completely with english, it'd take a few years.

In korean, how do you say "Don't ever leave...."

절떼로 가지마 ....

Just a little correction.
It's 절때로 가지마...
also I would think that it's more natural to say 절때로 떠나지마 because 가지마 means more like "don't go", 떠나지마 means "to leave"
Romanization (just in case you want it ) is
절때로 가지마 juhl ddeh lo gah ji ma
절때로 떠나지마 juhl ddeh lo dduh nah ji ma



The Chinese characters are not working, I suggest you try writing it on Paint and post it as a picture file.

If I could do anything I want in life, I would
Why do you look so down? do you think things are gonna work out if you stay like that?
Don't be down and be stronger.
There are hard things in this world for me as well, but I try to be more optimistic!
You're ready to get yourself up, right? CHeer up!
Do you think anything's gonna change by remaining like that?
Do you think anyone's gonna do it for you if you act foolish like that?
At the end, don't forget that you have to be independent, and cheer up
I'm saying this as a person who somehow got to know you. Please remember this

Hi,I'm from 1st year Tonwon College. nice to meet you haha
Seems like you have something bad going on, I hope that the dark clouds in your mind get cleared and the cool wind and the bright sunshine will light your ways (basically, CHEERUP)
Please FIGHTING (Korean expression... for like let's go!! do it!! blah blah).. I hope everything works out for you! aja aja (another Korean expression)

노래 좋다 (나의 반쪽쟁이) - The song's good (My half)
짜증 - Frustration
뭐 안좋은 일있나봐 왜 하염없이 눈물이 흐르는데 (예쁜강정미님) - there must be something bad going on, why are the tears rolling down endlessly (Pretty Jung-Mi Kang)

whats the tone when people say 'e saram ah!'

like is it meant to sound mean or harsh?

cos its so annoying when my dad says it

^ it's usually said when someone's annoyed with you, probably for saying or doing something they think is dumb. people also say it jokingly, so i guess it depends on how your dad's using it.

Could someone translate this

Whats a good place to translate english to korean online? I just want to know how to spell simple things in korean for a short thank you letter.

Kim Choong Gon: Jung Mi sshi (respective particle)... I don't know what's wrong, but I'm always looking out for you! Become a strong woman...

Well, instead of 'looking out', it actually means 'watching you' but that's kind of scary o_o and it's not what you think it means.. Korean is confusing hey hahah -0-


I suggest you don't use online translators because they give false info(:
Just ask here.. and if it's too personal, just PM a person =D



muchlove!
-jisoo

well none of the sites are really good or even good since translating from english to korean is more difficult and doesn't follow english grammar. but try zkorean.com for words and babel altavista for sentences but know that it might not make sense all the time or even 80% of the time.

That's cool, thanx!
