No! You don't need to feel sorry about that.
Saeyun, it's because you're busy, right?
Yesterday was the last day of vacation.
I went to school but I just can't seem to adapt.
Keke. Listening to lectures is boring and makes me sleepy.

I'm doing fine too. Since I can't speak English that well,
I'll write in Korean. Huhu.
Your BG music is even set to Se7en...
Keep it in mind!

-휴... 영어로 쓰려고했는데.. 제가 한글로 쓰는 것 보다
의사전달이 더 안될것같아서... 쓰다가 포기하고..
제가 잘하는! 모국어...! 한글을 선택해서 보내요^.^...

대신.. 언니께서 해석하시는데.. 조금 어려움이 있으실것같아서.. 넘 죄송해요...ㅜㅜ

개강이라서.. 바빠지시는거예요?
언니께서 쓰신 싸이방명록봤는데~ 흠... 영영~ 헤어지는 사람처럼
써놓으셔서 ㅜㅜ 슬펐어요..

전 해드린게 아무것도 없는데 고맙다구 말씀해주시고.. 감사합니다..^^

언니덕분에 영어배울 수 있어서 너무 좋았구...
또 진솔한 얘기들을 나눌수있어서 너무 좋았어요^.^
정은언니 얘기뿐 아니라... 사적인 얘기들두..^^

영어만 잘했어두.. 연락 더 자주 드렸을텐데 ㅜㅜ 너무 아쉬워요..

언니! 영영~ 떠나시는건 아니시죠? 다시 돌아오시는거죠? ... 흠...
섭섭해서 어떻게 해야할지 모르겠어요.......ㅜㅜ


help much appreciated again and again here!~~ thanks!

haha thanks jaeho...always a help=]

yes I must. lol I always believe in crediting--especially since you took the time to do it--and everyone is totally thrilled they finally know what it means. ^^ Thank you again. I'm going to post it in the Take thread now, so there will be more spazzing.

Whew, I was gonna write in English, but I knew I wasn't gonna be able to express myself well in English, I gave up in the middle of writing..
What I can do well! my native language..! Korean is what I have chosen to write in^.^

But.. it might be a little difficult for you to translate.. I'm so sorry T_T

Since it's the beginning of the school year, are you gonna be busy?
I left a message on the guestboard on your cyworld.. hmm.. you wrote as if you were gonna leave forever T_T I was so sad..

I couldn't do anything for you but you said you were appreciated.. thank you^^

I was very happy that I could learn English all because of you..
and I was also very happy to be able to talk about things earnestly^.^
Not just about Jung-Eun.. and other private conversations^^

Only if I could speak English more fluently.. I would have kept in touch more often.. I'm so disappointed...

Unnie! You're not gonna leave forever,r ight? You gonna come back, right? ..hmm..
I'm so disappointed that I don't know what to do.... T_T


(When she said she's disappointed, she's not saying she's disappointed at YOU.. just saying that she is because she wished she had spent more time with you, but that didn't work.. etc.. k? ^^)

im deeply moved on what her message is all about. thank you. im on the verge of tears now,thanks a alot dr. jung...you made my day!~~thanks thanks thanks!!~

Thanks for the dictionaries!

hello once again!!!
just want to ask what's the meaning of this --> 오랜만이다

and also, can someone help me and translate these two messages??
i got it from cyworld.. i only know a sentence or two, but not the whole messages... can someone kindly translate this for me??
Thank you so much!!!!! ^^


페니야 안녕~~ 진짜 오랜만이다^^
싸이도 하네? 너무 신기해!! 대단한데? ㅋㅋ
나는 그동안 몽골-중국으로 선재수련 갔었어~
필리핀은 어때??
사진으로라도 얼굴 보니까 반갑다^^
---
아 피곤해.. ㅋㅋㅋ

누가 그랬어. 공부가 제일 쉽다고..

하지만 나는 공부가 제일 어렵다고 생각해.

자기 자신과 싸우는거잖아?

아!그리고 내 전공은 precision machine

그리고 이번학기에

배우는 것들은 대부분 dynamics ...

ㅋㅋ 그리고 보니 세윤이의 전공은 뭐야??
-----------
Thanks once again!!!

오랜만이다 = long time no see

---
Hey Penny Hi~~ Really long time no see^^
You use Cy(world) as well? Incredible!! That's amazing, no? keke
For a time, I was in Mongol-China for a peace camp (i'm assuming)
How is Philippines? (sorry for the mispelling if it is)
It's good to see you even in pictures^^

---
Ah I'm so tired kekeke
Who said that studying is the easiest? (thing in the world, probably^^)
But I think studying is the hardest.
It's something in which you battle yourself, right?
Ah! My major is Precision Machine.
And in this semester, most of the things I'm studying are Dynamics...
keke, while on the subject, What's Saeyun's major?

을/를 is used for to indicate the direct object.
은/는 is hard to describe b/c korean has subject and topic markers, so i don't want to get the terms confused, but, anyway, 은/는 is called a "topic" marker, but in english terms, it is used with the subject of a sentence. actually, the difference between 은/는 and 이/가 is much more complicated, imo.

Would someone please translate this song title for me? It's track 6 for the OST from My Name is Kim Sam Soon. Thanks a lot!
이별 못한 이별 (지선 from 러브홀릭)

Hehe, I posted that in november of 2005 and already had it answered long ago. Someone (I think it was Jisoo or Jaeho) answered it and my parents took it further by giving me examples in korean.

Thanks a lot though dr who :]

oh... thank you so much dr jung^^;;
i really appreciate it!
and oh... can i ask anyone for another translation of this??
its very short...

안녕
미안해 계속 연락을 못했네..
나 ROTC라서 한달간 군사훈련을 받고 오늘 복귀했어 ㅋㅋ
그래서 연락 못한거고


THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!!

oh really? weird. i don't get how i even saw that post. oh well...

Breakup that cannot Breakup. (Jeesun from Loveholic)

Yeah ... there's the litteral/rough translation.

^that song is so good=] hahaha...이별 is like farewell tho, right?
umm ok i dont kno if my question is going to make sense or not...but when would you use the base form of a verb, etc? i.e the 'da' form, e.g 'mianhada', 'haengbok hada' etc...

also, why is 'ne' added to the end of some sentances? e.g 'i miss you' = 'pogo shimneyo' ...hope that makes sense. thanks!

Yeah ... 이별 can be farewell, breakup, goodbye ... all the 'Ending' Relationship words. xD

I couldn't think of the word 'farewell' so I used breakup. haha Same meaning pretty much.

Sorry, I should have included a sound file. I found the dancer in the CF is the same voice here, so she is from North Korea (pretty voice!). I can't make out some of the words she says. Can anyone find out in addition to my original request?

This is what I hear:
"효리를 처음은 순간
하야... 참 코코나
같은 윤설이 했어
만나 보고싶어
얘기 하고싶고"

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?acti...8CED8EE63C4CC67

- Thanks

She says '만나 보고싶고' I believe.

That's all I heard in it besides what you already wrote.

Also, it sounds like 연변사투리. Yonbyun Dialect.

It's the part of China above North Korea where Korean is one of the languages.

Oh, you're right! My mistake.

She's from Pyongyang. But if 연변 sounds like that, I like it! Seoul dialect is boring. (Probably cause I was born around it)

Oh Pyongyang?? Does she live in South Korea?? o.0?

Seoul dialect really isn't a dialect ... it's just basic. xD

I like JeJu Island's dialect ... 안녕하시다이다이다이.

Pyongyang is the capital of North Korea! =D

I thought every province had their own dialect (you always hear [province name] followed by dialect), Seoul being the most understood/practiced because it's the capital and most dominant state.

That's Jeju? I thought it was 안녕후아과 (how awkward! xD)

lol. I just heard that 다이다이다이 was what the elders spoke. xD

I knew Pyongyang is the capital of N.Korea ... I was just wondering if she lived in South or North.

Because I'm from Seoul, but I live in Washington.

People born in North Korea are there forever. They did however agree to let her shoot this CF with a South Korean company (and with Hyori), but it was in Shanghai lol.

To answer your question about Seoul dialect,
It's called 표준어, the standard dialect/language.

Jeju Province's is like.. blah blah blah 감수광 or something like that.. haha.



It's obviously not 연변사투리 because she's from North Korea... it's 북한사투리-



효리를 처음 본 순간.. 이야.. 참 곱구나.. 같은 여자로서.. 만나보고 싶고.. 또 얘기하고 싶고

There.

YAY.

Thanks dr jung. <3

Thank you, joonage!!

I know that now. Don't correct me dr jung!!

jkjk.

Either way, they're all 사투리s xD

shame on me, i'm taking korean and I have difficulty just reading the instructions.

can anyone translate the following:

영어 속담과 한국어 속담에서 비슷한 것과 차이가 나는 것에 대해 이야기해보세요. 이야기한 내용을 정용을 정리하고 보족한 내용은 더 조사하여 "영어의 속담 한국어의 속담 비교"라는 제목으로 글을 써 보세요.

all i can make out is that it wants me to write something about a comparison of Korean and English folktales.

Yes, it's telling you to write about similarities and differences between English proverbs and Korean proverbs.
The Title should be "영어의 속담 한국어의 속담 비교". You should neatly organize your stories and whatever you are missing in the story, you should research.

Did you actually type this yourself? I see some typos, and one word (정용) doesn't seem to fit in the sentence (for me, anyways). Please double check.

lol thanks, I hastily typed it while reading it from my text book. bleh, so it wants me to compare and contrast them. i have a hard time translating these 속담 let alone undertand the meaning of it

anyways, 고마워요!

If you need any help with them, post here. I (and others) may be able to help.

thanks! one more for today

속담: 암탉이 울면 짐안이 망한다.

A: 오늘 안민자 대리가 또 한바탕 얀단쳤대요.
B: 암탉이 울면 집안이 망한더는데 안 대리가 요즘 히스테리가 너무 심해.

Im supposed to write a dialogue between A and B using a folktale, such as the example above. I'm having a hard time translating the example's dialogue to begin with

A: today, something deputy, something
B: if a hen cackles, the house will be ruined..something these days very histeric something

암탉이 울면 집안이 망한다= When a hen cackles, an ill (or something bad) will happen in a house.
This proverb is just.. to make the females feel inferior. How it's formed is..
Ages ago, people knew that a hen (female chicken) does not cackle in nature (always the male ver [cock] does).
Likewise, according to the female inferiority idea that existed in Korea, in a household, a wife should not interfere with important matters in place of the husband; if the wife does, the family will malfunction.

A: Today, Deputy Min-Jah Ahn (female, hinted by her name with Jah at the end..) once again had created a chaos.
B: The saying goes if a hen cackles, an ill will happen in a house, nowadays, I think Deputy Ahn's hysteria is way over the top.

Hope this helped. ^^

Thanks! I had a hard time with it because I kept looking at the dictionary for anminja.. i didn't realize it was a name lol. I've never seen anyone with that name (Minjah). In any case I finally completed it, although its probably full of grammatical errors.

interestingly, we have this Tamil guy in class, its amazing how many words that are similar between Tamil and Korean. The teacher was very shocked. He's quite good at Korean too.

Yay. Good luck on the other things.

Just for your information, 안민자 IS a female name. I doubt any female Korean person from the new generation (those born after 80's or as early as 70's) to have the name. It's pretty "traditional" (being euphemistic) or.. oldie names... 촌스럽다.. would be the correct term in Korean.
You will see similar names (영자, 미자, 기자, 이자, 순자, 형자, etc). Do you see a pattern? LOL.
자 (子) is a Chinese character that means son/child. Korean women used to have this in their names because of the Japanese influence during the colonial period in early 1900's. Koreans have somewhat (or almost totally) grown out of this trend of nomenclature because, like I said, it's soo 촌스러워~ 영자야~~ ~ *ek*
"Jah" is the Korean pronounciation, but in Japanese, it's こ(ko). So you see lots of Japanese women (still) have names like Ryoko, Yoko, Mitsuko, Matsuko, Kumiko, etc.

it seems that nobody read and answered my last message here
haha just kidding!!
well anyway, like i asked from my last post, can you guys help me in translating this messages???
oh.. 2 short messages to be exact.

안녕
미안해 계속 연락을 못했네..

Hope that Helped.

thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!
don't worry, you helped me alot... thanks once again joonage!!!

Curious, what words were? I know only Na (me), Nal (day).

I read a hypothesis in wikipedia that japanese also may be linked to Tamil as they have similar vocabulary and phonetics. Pretty interesting stuff.

click 'PAUSE' button when you see the image you want to capture appears. Go to FILE and pick "SAVE IMAGE" on the drop down menu.

you would use the base form, -다, when you are using the intimate speech, you know the, verb + 어/아, like 이걸 봐, or 빨리 가. Korean ppl when using the intimate style switches b/w the 어/아 ending, and the 다 ending a lot, so its hard to exactly explain when you would use it. But from my experience, 다 is used more in first person speech, like I'm tired, I'm hungry, This is hard, etc

네, "ne", at the end of a verb signifies something unexpected, something that you are surprised about, or did not expect it to happen. Like if the clothes you want are really expensive you would say, 이옷 비싸네~!! or if someone you haven't seen for a long time got really pretty, you'd say 예뻐졌네~. But you wanna be careful when using that, since you might offend someone, cuz it basically means "you've gotten really pretty", and some ppl might think that you mean they looked ugly b4

and that 보고 싶네요, it can be expressed as, gosh, i really miss you. So you miss that someone more than you expected
