물론파티합시다!!!!

We could meet on cyworld ! :mrgreen:

I’m a complete cyworld newbie, but I think you can have clubs there (like Mixi’s communities); Jpod and Epod both have communities on Mixi …

And besides, I already have a cake :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I think we need a lesson on 그렇다 and demonstratives with their constant changes and meanings in certain situations, especially when this verb us used as a single sentence.

I think it’s funny how birthday parties are by invite only, yet weddings are open to everyone in the world!

I love this 당근 송 :D :D :D ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I heard it a few years back for the first time and it stuck in my head! :-)

petiteclaire :-)
Nice to see you on Cyworld!!! I think I’m the first one to write in your guestbook hehe. :-)

민식, :-)
그렇습니다! :-) It’s a good idea! 그렇다 can be used for so many purposes. :-)

Nan :-)
Haha, yes, then there’s this congratulatory ‘money’ you pay if you go to a friend’s wedding. ;-)

I’ve been to a couple Korean weddings… At the first one, I heard the priest/officiating official mention something about money. I asked my Korean friend if they were announcing how much money, and he said yes: they were announcing how much gift money the bride and groom had respectively brought in!

Austin (오민) says:

Let’s not forget that the money is really for the parents of the the couple.

My principal’s son got married last year, and the next week she showed up at school with a brand new car! :wink:

선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

And that’s EXACTLY why when I go to a friend’s wedding, I don’t put my 축의금(congratulatory money) into the big white box - I usually try to get there early, just meet my friend in person and give the money directly to him/her. That way, they can spend that money on their honeymoon or whatever in the future. :D

선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Today’s Audio Blog is going to be about weddings in Korea, so be sure to listen to that! :D

What’s the difference between 둘이서 and 둘이라서?

avatar
Jeff (Javis) says:

“저희를 사랑해 줘서 감사합니다”
Don’t worry, Hyunwoo, we do

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

:-) Jeff ㅎㅎㅎ 고맙습니다 ^^! Thanks!

Jacqueline,
the difference between 둘이서 and 둘이라서 is :

둘이서 = two people together
둘이라서 = because we’re(they’re/you’re) two .

Claudia 규리 says:

왜 코끼리들 항상 코끼리끼리 놀고 싶어?
Isn’t that racism or something? :neutral:

avatar
현우 says:

코끼리들? :D 무슨 말이에요? :)

avatar
Claudia 규리 says:

Oh, it had nothing to do w/the conversation that was going on. I just studied the “끼리” pattern and had to think of 코끼리 (I hope I spelled it right…).
:grin:

I haven’t written about elephants since first grade Korean school :roll: :wink:

현우 says:

규리 :D

Now I get it!! ^^
