Isn't 춤 - dance??? o.0

I believe there really isn't a 'Please' in Korean.

과헤- I think is the word for teaching by private tutoring. No? I'm not sure how it's spelt. So I'm confused.

or is it 과의??

글쎄요 means more like, "Not so sure". "maybe" is 아마(도)
춤=dance=/=please
"Please" would be 부탁합니다, 부탁드려요 (in English, they'd mean "please do this favor for me")



과외

just wondering, but doesnt '힘내요' mean 'get well' or something? or can it also be used for 'happy'?

also, what is the diff between '도' and '또'? and the diff in '안' nd '않' when negating something?

annnnd how would u say 'need to use', 'need to have'...something like that [stupid double verb sentances]...thanks heaps!

p.s out of curiosity...would anyone actually say 'annyong hamnida' instead of 'annyong haseyo'? haaha.

'힘내요' means 'Be Strong' or litterally 'Give Strength/Use your Strength' but it can be used to impliment 'Get Well'

또 is 'again' - 또 하고싶다. (I want to do [it] again.). 도 is like 'too' or 'also' I believe. 이거 사고싶어. 이것 도 사고싶어. (I want to buy this. I want to buy this too/also.)

Need to use - NOUN + 써야되. Need to have - NOUN + 가저야되.

I believe nobody uses ~합니다 to ask. I don't think it's even 사투리 (slang).

I can't think of the 안/않 right now.

Like everyone said, 춤 means dance. I think you were trying to write 좀 which serves many purposes... it can mean "a little/a bit" and "please" and so on... In Korean, "please" like when saying "Please do this" is often implied with polite forms... like 하세요 literally means "do it" but since it's polite, it's like saying "please do it." HOWEVER, there are many ways to say "please" in Korean... like 제발, 부디, 부탁, etc... all used in different context...

모르겠습니다 is a very formal way to say "i don't know."

I think the book you have is teaching formal Korean...


힘내요 isn't really "get well" but it's more like "hang in there/cheer up/do your best/be strong" kinda thing...

도 is a particle that is similar to "also/too." like 나도 몰라 = I don't know either. 빵도 주세요 = Please give me bread as well.
또 = again. 또 먹니? = Are you eating again?

안 is used in front... like 안 가고 싶어 = I don't want to go.
않 is usually after ~지, like 가고 싶지 않아 = I don't want to go.
So basically, they're just two ways to say the same thing.

안녕하세요 is actually a question, meaning "Are you at peace?" So, nobody says 안녕합니다. You can say 안녕하십니까 though. Because it's a question, most people reply by saying "네. 안녕하세요"


You need to work on your spelling and spacing.

need to use = +++을/를 써야 한다 OR +++을/를 써야 된다
need to have = Well, this one is tricky to explain... there are times when you can say ~을/를 가져야 한다/된다, ~이/가 있어야 한다/된다, or just ~이/가 필요하다
Also, take note that 한다 and 된다 change into 해 and 돼 in certain speech forms... like 나는 이것을 써야 돼요.

사투리 (slang) doesn not mean slang...it means dialect.

Slang is like teenage lingo.

thanks once again joonage, jaeho nd agashi [even though ur just correcting joonage haha]...so 된다 is liek a higher polite word to replace 한다?

and say...if u wanted to say someting like "no, it [sounds] like this...'blah blah' "...would you say something like "anieyo, i kot chorom 'blah blah'" ? does that make sense. like if u were trying to explain how to say something or a situation, etc.

hmm ok nd also on the all abt dbsk dvd yunho was always saying sth like 'mot poda do' ...although im not sure abt the 'mot' bit...so he was trying to say 'more than...'? more than what? anything? =S sorry=P

Ah this is pityful >< for me to ask since I'm part korean .. T_T .. but I've been getting messages from creepos on my cyworld thinking I'm older, and them saying bashful pervy things because my friend seemed to screw up on the aging when I signed up for cyworld and I'm not really good at telling people off, especially since my grandma wont teach me 'vain' words.

So could someone PLEASE help me say something rude?

I need like insanely b&tchy and rude lol.

THANKS!

can someone pleasseee translate some korean into english for me???

it's kinnnda personal. so..please PM or reply to this message so i can PM you the message?

thanks so much =)

no, 된다 is not a formal way of saying 한다. 된다 is 'can/is able to do~'.
I don't get your second question..^^;
I think he was saying 무엇 보다 더 which means 'more than anything else'. (:


TOKIII =D YOU CAN ALWAYS ASK ME ONLINE =D


You can PM me if you want(:

다녀왔어 ^^

비가와서 걱정을 했는데, 오히려 비가 와서

시원한 날씨에 자전거를 탈수있었어.

힘들었지만 재밌었어..^^;;

여름방학이 끝나가.. 아쉽다..

참 걱정해줘서 고마워^^

thanks a lot!!!

saeyun ^^; I like your banner.

I decided to post this in here. It's the lyrics to part of a song that one of our Take members did when he was a guest for another artist. My Hangukmal is limited t_t. I do understand parts, but I don't want to mess with it. Could someone kindly translate the whole thing for us? You'll be credited in Take thread, as well as our forum.

아름다운 별이 된 너를 이렇게 항상 바라만 보며 그리워하네 돌이킬 수

없는 시간은 추억으로 이젠 묻혀버리네 Baby~ 다시 볼 수 있다면 만져
볼 수 있다면 얼마나 좋을까? 항상 꿈을 꾸곤해 이별을 알았다면
조금 더 잘해줬을 텐데 그렇게 널 보낸게 너무 가슴이 아파

what this means?

언제가는 널 꼭 볼거같은 좋은 예감과 함께


thank you everyone for help.

Ahh ... my sister told me it was right ....

She came from Korea only 3 years ago ... little liar.

I'm not the best at spelling and spacing. I'm more of the person that can speak and understand really well.

here you go saeyun

I've arrived from the place ^ ^

At first I was worried about the rain, but it in fact due to its fresh air I was able to ride my bike.

It was difficult but also fun..^^;;

Sadly summer vacation is coming to an end..

Thanks for your concern ^^

and MythnoonA you don't have to credit, hun *^ ^*.

I can only look upon with longing to your beautiful existence of that a star, times that can't be taken back are buried into memories baby~ If I can see you again, feel you again, how great would that be? I always dream that if we didn't drift apart I could've done better..to let you go like this pains my heart.


Me, too . Can help with simple translations, that's it ^.^

되다 and 하다 are just interchangeable when you're trying to say "need to/have to." Like you can say 가야 해 and 가야 돼, but they still mean "I have to go." However, the use of 하다 is preferred when saying "need to/have to" because it's more gramatically correct.

되다 and 하다 means many, many things and serve many, many purposes... They're used a lot in Korean. It's like trying to explain what "do" and "be" are in English.

When you say "it sounds like this," you don't literally mean "sound" right? But like "It sounds like that person is trying to leave." Right? lol

If so, then "같다" is the simplest way to say such an expression. Literally, it's just "like" but can have the meaning of "I think/sounds like/looks like"
저 사람은 가려고 하는 것 같아요 = It looks like/it sounds like/I think that person is trying to leave.

However, there are ways to literally say "sounds like/looks like" but I think you should try the simplest way first.


"I have a hunch that I'll see you someday no matter what"

Does anyone know how to say flexible hours in korean??

I'm talking about flexible hours when pertaining to work and hours...I mean you wouldn't like 휘기 쉬운 시간. Or 구부리기쉬운 시간 would you?

that's the literal dictionary definition.

Please Help! I will be sooo grateful.

thank you so much, ,333

ahhh.... thanks a lot for your help!!!!! ^^;;

can someone tell me what this means plz? ^^;

I hear on a CF but I think I hear it wrong. Speaker sounds like she's not from Seoul too. Sounded like:

"하야... 참 코코나..."

But she is saying "참 곱고나", am I right?

- Thanks~

^ something abt food, ahhaha...



thanks jaeho...umm actually i was asking sth else! say for instance ur trying to teach someone how to say something, and they pronounce it wrong, so u say "no, it should sound like this 'blah blah' "...but thats pretty inisgnificant. i was only curious, hahaha..

oh yeah and by itself, what does 'machi' mean?

Food? The CF had nothing to do with food though o_O.

EDIT:
Sorry beckii, I thought you were talking to me xD

Hello!

I just want to ask how to introduce yourself in korean
(Hello! My name is *Insert name here*).

thanks

Some questions here:
Why is there a need for spacing? Why aren't the words lump together like eng or chinese in a sentence? Is there any puntuations in korean..?

formal, usually to someone your age that you meet for the first time, or to elders
안녕하세요. 제 이름은 xxx 입니다.
ahn-nyung-hah-seh-yo. jeh ee reu meun xxx ib nee dah.

informal to people younger than you
안녕. 내 이름은 xxx (이)야.
ahn-nyung. neh ee reu meun xxx (ee)yah.

pronounce "ee" if your name ends with consonant. I'm probably describing it wrong, so here's an example.
Christina is without consonant at the end.
Jack is with consonant at the end.



Spacing generally to avoid confusion.
I sometimes don't use spacing just to piss people off, but too bad this is only effective when typing (so on MSN online chatting^^).

For example,
아빠가방에들어갔다 (a-ppa-gah-bahng-eh-deu-luh-ga-ddah)

I know that it's obvious what the actual sentence is, but if the sentence were in a science fiction book or something, you might be wondering,
Does the sentence mean "My dad went into the room"?... or does it mean "My dad went into a bag"?
See it?

Words do "lump" together. One specific rule is that the topic markers and the prepositions stick to whatever the word you're using.
For example,
방에 (bang eh) - to room, 방 being "room", 에 being "to"

Punctuation? Just like English.
There are some differences, but majority of same rules in English apply in Korean.

im supposed to ask that too.. please anyone? coz i went to the news thread and tried to see the Complete Ratings Archive but unlike before.. its not updated anymore...

Food - Want You


You need to specific!

You should say 발음은 이렇게 돼, which literally means "The pronunciation is like this."

마치 = http://endic.naver.com/endic.nhn?docid=2260420

"just" as in "just like"

그는 마치 바보처럼 울었다. - He cried just like a fool.
