Chukha is pronounced like chuka anyway, so it doesn't really matter. =/ If someone were to say chuk-ha stressing the ha, then he/she would sound akward. And to be really picky, habnida sounds like hamnida.

The question has already been answered by beckii and dr who by the way, who explained different politeness levels of the phrase. ^^;


I can't be your prince riding on a white horse, but I can be your soldier who will protect you forever.


I'm not sure why you're asking these... You might use them wrong. ><; Korean is really picky, so there are tons of words for uncle and aunt depending on the relationship. For example, there's a word for the guy married to your mother's sister, there's a word for your dad's older brother, etc... There are also many words for she, he, I, you, and etc... and they are all used differently depending on age, politeness, etc. Also, Korean does not use pronouns that much... but rather titles or just context. I can't answer your question unless you are specific and at least know basic Korean. =/

Same thing can be said for some of the other words you asked about before... like "bye" depends on politeness and situation. lol


Where'd you get that? It means "I love (insert boy's private part here)"

edit - I doubt it's peppers

"I want to see my father even just for once in my life."

can you translate it in korean? Oh please..

^

사는 동안 우리 아버지를 단 한 번만이라도 보고 싶어요. / polite form

what's a word for strong and beautiful in korean + romanization?

strong
강하다 kang-ha-da (strong, mighty)
강력하다 kang-nyuk-ha-da (same as above)
힘세다 him-seh-da (strong, powerful)

beautiful
verb
-미인이다 mee-een-ee-da (is beautiful 美)
-아름답다 ah-reum-dap-da (is beautiful)
-곱다 gohp-da (is lovely, fair)
adjective
-미인 mee-een (a beauty 美)
-아름다운 ah-reum-da-oon (beautiful)
-고운 go-oon (lovely, fair)

choose? ^^

^thank you so much. you rock!!


doesn't MI HYANG mean most beautiful one or some?
my friend needs some name in her fics LOL and she wanted unique names of beauty and strength.

thankss Jaeho =)

Just to clarify:

미인 (mi in) is a beautiful person. (美人, if you read Chinese.) It's a noun, and it obviously it doesn't apply to beautiful landscape, weather, etc.

힘세다 (him se da) connotes the strength to do things. For example, you could say "힘세다" about President George W. Bush of the United States (beause he is a very powerful person), or "힘세다" about an Olympic athlete. The word "strong" in English has an overlapping but slightly different meaning. For example, a weak person who is dying of cancer may nonetheless be described as "strong" in English, if that person is striving with all her will to survive, but it wouldn't make sense to say "힘세다" about such a person in Korean. 강하다 (gang ha da) would be more appropriate to describe this sort of person.

hey...anyone know a site for english - romanized korean??? i found one last time..but i lost it and can't find it anymore..i'd be so happy if anyone here can help me...THANKS!!

uh...my friend ask me if i know what that means b/c it was in someone's profile

GEEZ jaeho! You're so good at explaining everything. O___O. ahahaha. I was reading through the questions and I was like "how in the world can I explain something like that?" and then you come along and whabam! ahaha.. you're really good at explaining everything, is basically my point in this comment to you. (: ahahahahaa
but.. does Korean have a "correct" romanization? I didn't think so... O_O I thought it was only Chinese and Japanese.. but I could be wrong... ahaha


(: 부럽다. A lot of my white friends ask me about those things too, and I just can't find a way to explain it to them. ahaha.I guess I'll have to take the way you explained it... if that's okay with you? (:

I guess I'll insert a little helpful hint that someone asked for a few pages back. Someone was asking for "hello" and "bye bye." A lot of people get mixed up over this so I'll just clarify it..

I'm not 100% POSITIVELY sure, so feel free to correct me if there's something wrong. Most of them I checked with my mom so they should be right.

"hello"
Formal: "ahn nyong ha seh yoh" 안녕하세요
Informal: "ahn nyong" 안녕

"goodbye/bye/see ya"
Formal: (There are several for different circumstances
If you're staying at your house and the person you're saying goodbye to is leaving your house:
"ahn nyong hee gah seh yoh" 안녕히 가세요
Kind of means "Have a safe trip".. kind of..-___-x. aaaha
If you're leaving somebody's house:
"ahn nyong hee geh seh yoh" 안녕히 계세요
"stay safe" .. aiiish. nvm..-__-x

There's also a way to say it differently, but I don't know the circumstance...
"geu rom... ee mahn" 그럼... 이만..
I don't know the direct translation either..ahaaha.. sorry..-__-x

Informal:
"ahn nyong" (yes it's the same as the informal "hello") 안녕.

This one means "I'll go"
"Gal kkeh" or "Gal kkeh yo" (latter is a TAD bit more formal) 갈께 and 갈께요.

Here's kind of another one (GEEZ why are there so much. >_<) ahaha
"Gah bah ya gess so yo" ahah horrible romanization.. I apologize majorly.
가봐 야 겠어.
The spelling for that one is totally wrong.. i could sense it, but yeah.. ahhaha
This one kind of means "I'll have to be going now" or something like that

There's even more than this.. there's "nae il bah" or "nae il beh yo" ahaha. which means I'll see you tomorrow. Or you can say "daeum eh bah" or "daeum eh beh yo" which means "See you next time" or "eedda[ga] bah" or "eedda[ga] beh yo" Which means I'll see you later. *the latter ones are the more formal ones*

*I'm trying to think if there is anything else...
I'M SUPER DUPER SORRY FOR MY "UNSURE-NESS" T____T 미안.

wat does this mean...a friend post it up on my myspace and im dont noe wat it means:bae go pa yo...choo wuh...joo seh yo

I'm hungry.. I'm cold... give me _____.

____ joo seh yo means give me ________..

My boyfriend knows Korean (he takes classes at University) so he always gives me texts in Korean for things he's too shy to say. haha. It's the sweetest thing ever!

Anyway, just one question: What does "na nuen" mean? I really have no idea. I'm guessing it means "I want?"

^ I'm pretty sure that it's "Me"

Question:
What does 메롱 mean? I see it quite often ^___^

There are many Korean dramas, game shows, interviews... being broadcast on
KBS WORLD with English subtitle.
So anyone know how to see KBS WORLD TV detail schedule and how to download
or watch online videos that were broadcast on KBS WORLD before?
Hope someone could help. I would really appreciate

^ I don't know whether it really means anything, but it is the sound effect which accompanies sticking one's tongue out at someone (like "pfft" or "nya-nya" in English). Google brings up these images:

pls. help me. i'm currently studying japanese and become interested with korean language.. um..can you help me translate these in korean romanization pls.

welcome. (as by welcoming a visitor)
nice to meet you.
hope we can all be friends.

kamsahamnida.

Ohhhh~ Thanks for explaining!
PS: That cat is SOO CUTE :D

If you have pronunciation questions, just read these like you would read Japanese, except for "uh", which is like uhhhhhhh sound, I'll explain.

어서오세요 usuh oseyo (it's like "Usher" with "S" instead of "sh" and less tongue rolling.. haha)
만나서 반가워요 mannasuh bangawoyo

Mr. Dong-Won No (teacher) asked during the morning session, "Who's on duty this week?", and after much thought, I realized it was me.

In Korean schools, there are people picked in each class to be on duty for cleaning and other tasks...

how do you say.
"_____ language. i don't know, i don't understand , i don't speak"
in polite & formal form?

^_____ mahl. moh la yo. iiieh (kind of like Japanese "no" iie) anhehyo. mahl mothehyo. ahaha.

(I'm not sure if this is totally FORMAL formal but ..yeah..




Bae go pa yo - I'm hungry
Choo wuh - I'm cold
Joo seh yo - Give [it] to me. The "it" is implied. (:

Hi it's me on about Full House again,

Does anybody know a site where Ican find lots of animated gifs from Full House? I already have all the ones in the gif thread here. I know there is a Korean site that has them called rnadms but I can't navigate it because I don't know Korean. Could someone perhaps provide me with the exact link?

Any help would be much appreciated

I don't know Korean site but I think you can search in www.lovekoreastar.com (Chinese site), a lot of them.

Thanks for replying. I went to the site but I can't read Chinese either so I'm a little stuck

Not the literal translation, I think, but it's essentially "I'm taking this." So if someone posts a pretty picture of some celeb on his or her cyworld, a person might reply with 퍼가요 to let the original poster know that he/she will be taking it to post it on his/her own cyworld.
