We call it "Filmriss" - "torn film" - when you have a blackout. Thanks for this lesson, Keith and Hyunwoo :) Funny thing is that we have almost the same expression in German.

(Why are you here? or What brought you here? or What are you doing here?) but after all, it all comes from the meaning "HOW" ;-) So I think even when 어떻게 means "why", it still has the meaning "how" in it ;-) And yes, quoting is easy. Just use the [blockquote] [/blockquote] command.. (but change "[" and "]" to "< " and ">") ^^ 오민 ;-)

How did you go home? = 어떻게 집에 갔어? = 어떻게 집에 간 거야? Does this really mean "how" or can it also mean "why" as in 어떻께 왔어요? and... how do you quote from a previous blog post so that the quote is slightly indented with the red bar? 현우…

How did you go home?
= 어떻게 집에 갔어?
= 어떻게 집에 간 거야?

Does this really mean “how” or can it also mean “why” as in 어떻께 왔어요?

and… how do you quote from a previous blog post so that the quote is slightly indented with the red bar?

Then he said he would think about and get back to me. The next day he had it figured out! I think it would be easy to attach too much significance to it, and that might slow things down. Anyway, I like it just fine! Only two characters, so its a bit unique. Since the Korean spelling of m name already begins with a common surname 오 he kept that.

I've been asking a friend for a Korean name but he said it's not easy; he has to think about it, research the meaning, find out the Chinese characters, etc. I'll just stick with '제임스'. It sounded like so much work to nickname me.:shock: How did your 동료선생님 go about naming you? How do you like your new name Austin?

These two are the same in the PRESENT tense. :-) Then why bother to have two forms? Because they can express different things in other tenses. [PAST] 그녀가 울었어요. = She cried. 그녀가 울고 있었어요. = She was crying. [FUTURE] 그녀가 울 거예요. = She will cry. 그녀가 울고 있을 거예요. = She will be crying. :-) hehe... looking at the sample sentences I wrote, ... it's funny . hehe. she was crying in the past, she's crying now, and she'll be crying in the future... ;-) ㅋㅋㅋ Jacqueline,
