You were dating a girl you met in Korea for five years…then she dumped you. Now, you sit in a small Korean Tea House talking with your best friend in Korean about the six different women you have had horrible dates with in Korea since your ex-girlfriend broke-up with you. He tries to comfort you…but after you tell him what happened on each of your disastrous Korean dates, he doesn’t know what to say! Finally, your friend tells you in Korean that maybe you should make a change in your life. Desperate for answers, you tell him he is right in Korean and cry out, “여자 끊었어!” People from all over the tiny Korean Tea House turn around and stare at your table, whispering amongst themselves in Korean! Embarrassed, your friend explains-quietly in Korean-that maybe now is not the best time to talk about it!

I have never smoked, I was always been too scared to start ever since my first health class in elementary school, I saw really graphic photos of lung cancer.

나 담베 끊었그 십어. — > 나 담배 끊고 싶어(요).

선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Edward,

yeah - those scary photographs of gray lungs are one of the reasons I haven’t started smoking yet, too hehe :D
(네, 저도… 허파가 회색으로 나와 있는 무서운 사진들이 제가 아직 담배를 안 피우는 이유 중 하나예요. :-) )

_petiteclaire_ says:

I never smoked (I wasn’t part of the “cool” gang at school to which smoking came naturally…) but I had the hardest time shaking off my sweets addiction… :roll:

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

manyakumi, really?

it was easy ? hehe. :D According to 설, (or her father) I can’t be friends with you !! ㅋㅋㅋ or maybe you were just not so much of a heavy smoker.

Jeff,

what do you draw on your hands(손) and arms(팔)? :-)

petiteclaire,

hehe, I guess sweets are even harder to completely ‘quit’ than cigarettes! ^^

Andy R. says:

An interesting English translation of “Ei…Chinccha?” is “Really?” with a high pitch (higher than normal) for the first syllable and a low pitch for the second. This English equivalent can mean either you don’t believe someone or you’re really surprised, while the Korean “Ei…Chinccha?” is only used when you don’t believe them, right? In the States we can also say “I find that hard to believe” or “yeah, right” (sarcastically) or “you’re pulling my leg” or I’ve even heard “get out of town.” I’ve been looking for the Korean equivalent of these expressions for some time, so I’m glad you provided them in this lesson. (I used to teach English in Korea and Japan–can’t you tell by the way I think?)

스카트 “Scott”

작년 부터 나 한국어 공부. I hope that’s correct, I had to borrow google to doublecheck, lol.

I started learning korean last november, but didn’t really have much time the first while. I’m hoping i’ll have more time now :grin:

avatar
CanadianSeoul says:

on a side note, I smoked for about two and a half years, I quit about two years ago. I won’t lie and say it was easy, lol, it took me about two weeks, stretching the time between each cigarette each time. I realized that as long as i had any in my possesion, i’d be more likely to give in to the craving if/when i had one, so i crunched up my pack of smokes, tossed it in the garbage bin near our house, tossed my lighter, and haven’t touched one since. so for anyone on here thinking of quitting smoking, it can be done.

Annyeonghaseyo :)

Do you have to add yo to words like buteo, jinjja and yeogi in the formal politeness level?

Thank you :grin:

Koreanclass101.com says:

:razz: Hello Vivian,

For sure, you can say 부터요, 진짜요(jinjjayo), and 여기요(yeogiyo) to make those words polite.

You can simply add the particle 요 to nouns to make sentences in the formal politeness level.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
