Suffixes That Suffice. (둥이, 쟁이, 보)

One fun to learn language is to make it your own, in a way. Learning things like “중독 - addict”, I would have fun practicing by attaching random things to it. There are plenty of these suffixes that are commonly in Korean, and you probably have heard them in some form before (쟁이 is probably the most common). This can be a great way to learn words and understand them. 

Here are some suffixes, and commonly used versions: 

~둥이 - Child, Kid

늦둥이 - Baby of the family (last child born much later than siblings)  쌍둥이 - Twins  귀염둥이 - Cutie pie  사랑둥이 - Darling  바람둥이 - Cheater 

~쟁이 - Monger, Person that does something a lot (negative connotation) 

겁쟁이 - Fearmonger (Coward)  술쟁이 - Alcohol-monger (Drunkard)  고집쟁이 - Stubborn Person (Pigheaded)  떼쟁이 - Unreasonable Person  거짓말쟁이 - Liar  욕심쟁이 - Greedy Person 

~보 - Holic 

잠만보 - Snorlax / Sleepaholic  먹보 - Foodaholic (Glutton)  일름보 - Snitch, teacher’s pet 

If you look at the first word most are self explanatory, 늦다 > 늦 = Late, 겁 = Fear, but some origins are a little less straightforward because of how they’ve evolved (open for interpretation!)  

잠만보 is the Pokémon Snorlax (잠 = sleep + 많다 > 많  > 만 or 만 = only, unsure!) 일름보 seemingly is from how kids pronounce it (이르다 > 이름 > 일름 = snitch)

Though it might not make 100% sense, or be widely used, making terms up can be a great way to learn and even make a language feel a bit more like your own. For instance, I was called a “떡보” because I love 떡, which was a bit silly, but fun to say.

So get out there, and try adding your own flare to the language!

Feel free to follow for more posts coming soon.
