How to say “Wazzup” in Korean!

‘Wazzup’ would be '모함?’ in Korean!

What’s up? is a conversation starter in English and ‘뭐 해?' would be the correspondant expression in Korean.

Same as in any language, there’s a chat language in Korean that ignores spelling and abbreviates everything.

모 is abbreviation of 뭐 since it sounds similar but needs one less vowl to write.

~함 is noun form of the verb '하다’

and Koreans use this form since it has a playful nuance if you say this in this way in chat language. 

“뭐 해?“ is the grammatical correct version of “모함?"

Korean Buzzword!

"1도 모르겠다" = “I don’t get it”

Actually this is not a proper Korean expression!

This expression was first used by Henry from Superjunior-M who is very famous for his talent in music.

Him being not fluent in Korean language, he tried to say in a TV show : “하나도 모르겠다" which is a Korean expression for “I don’t understand a thing”/”I don’t get it” but instead of saying “하나" which is number one, he made a mistake of saying this as ‘1′/’일' which is also number one.

This was a very funny and cute mistake that native Korean speakers started to use this expression too!

"모르다" = don’t know/ don’t understand

"~도" = even ~ / ~ too
