One-Page Masterlist

안녕하세요! Hey everyone! I recently got an ask about my old masterlist, which is the same as my broken-down masterlist except it has all of my lessons on one page, rather than on multiple separate posts. Some may find this expanded version easier to navigate, so I’ll keep this up for y’all! My broken-up masterlist, of course, will still be available for those who find that more helpful :)

What I Learned

[thekimchibear]

Korean Slang을 좀치네요~

A casual phrase that was been around for a while 

뭐뭐.. “좀 하다”

“Done a bit of this / Dabbled in / Done this a bit in my day”

Simply put, it is a playful way of saying someone has done something quite a bit or is pretty good at something. Which is why it’s generally used with the ~네(요) or 거든(요) grammar endings. 

For example

“야 너 롤 해??”

“Do you play LoL (League of Legends)?”

“응, 나 좀 하지”

“Yeah, I play a bit”

But this has changed from 하다 (To do) to 치다 (To play a sport or instrument) but still can be used in everyday context.

So instead of saying “너 베이킹 잘 하네!”

“You’re pretty good at baking!”

You can say

“와아, 이 빵 잘 구웠네. 너 좀 치네”

“Woah, you baked this bread so well. Guess you’re pretty good at baking”

As always, it’s not a direct translation, but you get the gist of it. 

이제 구독자분들도 한국어를 좀 치시네요~

(Now you (the readers) know a bit of Korean too)

HD'S K-POP BOOKCLUB: Read The Album March 2024: Book 1 & Song 1 Korean Vocabulary Study Lists! (K-pop artists in focus: Aespa)

I had so much fun reading the book for this song in the album! Plus I absolutely love this song! Aespa what a bop you have created!

For the vocabulary for the song I used dictionary form verbs so that they would be easier to study and use with other grammar forms

For the book vocabulary I thought of the themes expressed in the book and translated them into korean using an online Korean dictionary.

I hope this helps with your Korean studies and hopefully you enjoy reading DallerGut Dream Department Store!

(If you would like to see what album I read this for and what other books I read for this album, please feel free to check out my previous post!)

Korean Familial Terms Part 1

I've mentioned before that Korean has a very complicated and extensive system of familial terms (at least compared to English). So in this post I'll explain a bit more in depth of how these terms work!

Part 1: Immediate Family

부모(님) (bumo(nim)) - parents

Mother:

엄마 (eomma) - mom (informal)

어머니 (eomeoni) - mother (standard, formal)

어머님 (eomeonim) - mother (formal, used when referring to someone else's mother)

Father:

아빠 (appa) - dad (informal)

아버지 (abeoji) - father (standard, formal)

아버님 (abeonim) - father (formal, used when referring to someone else's father)

Sister:

누나 (nuna) - male to female

누님 (nunim) - male to female (formal)

언니 (eonni) - female to female

형님 (hyungnim) - female to female (formal): people very rarely know that "hyungnim" is actually a term that can be used by women as well in specific contexts. if you're a woman that's formally referring to an older woman then yes, you would use hyungnim. this is most common when referring to your sister in-law on the husband's side.

여동생 (yeodongsaeng) - younger sister

자매 (jamae) - sisters

Brother:

형 (hyung) - male to male

형님 (hyungnim) - male to male (formal)

오빠 (oppa) - female to male

오라버니 (orabeoni) - archaic version of oppa

오라버님 (orabeonim) - archaic version of oppa (formal)

남동생 (namdongsaeng) - younger brother

형제 (hyeongje) - brothers

Bonus

Cousin: you would use the same terms as sister and brother except you'll add the word 사촌 (sachon) in front of it when you need to specify that it's a cousin of yours.

Part 2: Grandparents, uncle/aunt, niece/nephew - coming soon!

Part 3: Father's side of the family, mother's side of the family, in-laws - coming soon!

how to say good morning in korean

Looking to kick off your day in a Korean way? Simply greet your family and friends with a bright "안녕하세요", which means "good morning in Korean".

Speaking "Hello good morning in Korean” is not just good manners, but also a conversation starter.

The literal translation of "good morning" in Korean language is 좋은 아침! (joeun achim)좋은 (joeun) means “good” and 아침 (achim) means “morning”. In Korean, "good morning" is typically expressed with "안녕하세요", which means "hello".

however, one word can be too short for a greeting, to wish morning in Korean language and it can give you away as a tourist.

This guide offers a variety of ways to say "Good morning" in Korean. It covers formal and casual phrases, along with practical examples and exercises.

Alright world, Let’s dive in (to the core

좋은 아침이에요" is a direct translation of "good morning" but it's not commonly used. To say "good morning in Korean", you often say "안녕하세요" (hello). Informally, you can ask friends "잘 잤어?" (did you sleep well?). For elders, use "잘 주무셨어요?" or "안녕히 주무셨어요?" meaning "Did you sleep well?". "

Here are the 7 most common ways to say good morning in Korean language, depending upon politeness level (the other person's age) and situations.

좋은 아침이에요(joeun achimieyo).

잘 잤어? (jal jasseo)

안녕히 주무셨어요? (annyeonghi jumusyeosseoyo).

주무셨어요? (jal jumusyeosseoyo)

잘 잤어요? (jal jasseoyo)

좋은 아침! (joeun achim)

좋은 아침입니다 (joeun achimimnida)

examples

잘 잤어요? 아침 잘 먹었어요? (jal jasseoyo? achim jal meogeosseoyo?

Did you sleep well? Did you have a good breakfast?"

잘 잤어요? 어제 숙제 잘 했어요? (jal jasseoyo? eoje sokje jal haesseoyo?

"Did you sleep well? Did you do your homework well yesterday?"

좋은 아침이에요, 친구야. (joeun achimieyo, chinguyo)

Good morning, friend.

좋은 아침이에요, 선생님. (joeun achimieyo, seonsaengnim.

Good morning, teacher.

잘 잤어? 어제 일찍 자셔서 그런가? (jal jasseo? eoje iljjik jasyeoseo geureonga?

Did you sleep well? Did you go to bed early yesterday?

좋은 아침, 친구야. (joeun achim, chinguyo. - "Good morning, friend."

잘 주무셨어요? 어제 일찍 자셔서 그런가요? (jal jumusyeosseoyo? eoje iljjik jasyeoseo geureongaoyo?

Did you sleep well? Did you go to bed early yesterday?

yyxy (LOONA) - one way | K-Pop Breakdown

안녕하세요 여러분! It's been a while! I recently got a request for a breakdown of this song, so here it is! I'll link my full-length lessons for the grammar structures I include, so check those out for more explanations and examples. I hope you enjoy, and feel free to check out my other K-Pop Breakdowns and request a new song!

Also, I used colorcodedlyrics.com to help me with my translations :)

Vocabulary

낯선 = unfamiliar

길을 잃어버리다 = to be lost

쪽 = way

미로 = maze

속에 = inside (of)

멍하니 = absent-mindedly; blankly

약속 = promise

기억 = memory

묻다 = to ask

혼자 = alone

계속 = continuously

걷다 = to walk

Grammar

어느 쪽으로 가야 할까 / 미로 속에 갇힌 듯이 / 멍하니 걷고 있어

Which way should I go? / As if I'm caught in a maze / I'm walking absent-mindedly

-아/어/여야 하다

Attach this structure to a verb stem to mean "have to/should [verb]." 가야 하다, which uses the verb 가다 (to go), mean "should go" or "have to go."

-ㄹ/을까?

In this case, this structure is basically used the same way we would use "I wonder..." in English. 어느 쪽으로 가야 할까? essentially means "I wonder which way I should go?"

-ㄴ 듯이

When attached to a verb stem, this means "as if [verb]" in the past tense. 갇히다 means "to be confined" or "to be locked up" or "to be trapped." So, 갇힌 듯이 means "as if I was trapped," or "like I'm trapped." I believe the reason why it technically uses the past tense form is because the speaker has already been locked up, if that makes sense!

-고 있다

Attaching this to a verb stem gives you the present-progressive form, which is equivalent to the English -ing. 걷고 있다, therefore, means "walking."

널 볼 수 있다면 널 보게 된다면 / 어디로 가야 하는지 한번쯤은 묻고 싶어

If I could see you, if I get to see you / I want to ask you where I should go

-(ㄴ/는)다면

This structure means "if," and is usually used for talking about hypothetical situations or situations that are not likely to happen. In this case, the speaker implies that it is unlikely that they will see this person, but are saying what they would do if they did.

-ㄴ/는지

This structure is used to ask indirect questions. 어디로 가야 하는지 한번쯤은 묻고 싶어 is an example--it does not mean "where should I go?" but "I want to ask you where I should go." 어디로 가야 하는지 means "where I should go."

-고 싶다

Attach this structure to a verb stem to mean "want to [verb]."

우리 사랑은 나 혼자 one way / 계속 가고 있잖아

Our love is one way for me alone / I'm still going

-잖아(요)

Attach this to a verb or adjective stem to give it a nuance of "you know..." It is used to point out something that the listener does or should already know. 계속 걷고 있잖아, therefore, has the nuance of "I'm still walking, you know."

That's all for this breakdown! I hope it was helpful :) Thank you to whoever requested it! I am still taking requests (although it may take me a while to fulfill them), so please don't hesitate to ask me! Thanks for reading! 화이팅!
