저기요. 지금 몇 시에요

Unlike English, you should say 개(meaning ‘thing’) behind the counting numbers. For example, you should say 두 개 to mean ‘two (thing)’.

For counting animals, you can say the noun 마리 with counting numbers such as 두 마리 (two animals)

거 is as same as 것 which means ‘thing’ so, 싼 것 means ‘cheap thing’ or ‘cheap one’.

Please let me know if you have other questions.

Thank you.

안녕하세요.

You need to say 지금 ‘jigeum’ to mean ‘now’ when you ask time to make the meaning clear, but it’s okay you just say ‘몇 시예요?(meot siyeyo?) to mean ‘what time is it now?’

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Do you have to add jigeum when you ask for the time or is myeot si-yeyo enough?

Thank you
Vivian

Well, not really. In that case specifically, you can use “죄송합니다(joe song hamnida)”

Hangul was easy to learn, but it takes time to reckognise the syllable blocks. It was reaaly nice to be able to see that today’s lesson had ㅈ,ㅊ, and ㅉ, because I still have problems hearing the difference (and I can forget about ever being able to pronounce them).

Bouks,
ㅋㅋㅋ i know what you mean I don’t have to worry about making the owner of the restaurant worried because I usually don’t leave much food untouched, but sometimes when I do, I get this look from 아줌마 or 아저씨 of the restaurant, and i can read their mind “왜 다 안 먹어? 아깝잖아. (Why aren’t you eating all of it? It’s gonna be wasted.) ” ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

저도 그 얘기 들어 본 것 같아요 ㅎㅎㅎ

Once at an Italian restaurant, I couldn’t finish my pasta because the serving was huge. The manager was walking around and when he got to my table and saw how much food I’d left, he said in a very concerned way, “What’s the matter? You didn’t finish your pasta!” He wasn’t rude, just…maybe worried that I didn’t like it? It was cute. That’s the first and only time I was asked that in a restaurant.

and thank you Shan, Hyunwoo, and Jacqueline
you guys create such a positive learning environment

There’s a Chinese restaurant in London’s Chinatown that’s also infamous for rude service and mediocre food. But curious tourists just flock there!! If there are, say, only 2 of you and it’s a 4-seat table, they make you sit side-by-side so as to share the table with other customers! Extremely strange. And when you ask for more chilli oil, they will point to the bottle and say there’s some more, use up to the last drop before you ask for more!!

Please go here and find out a little more If you still have some questions, feel free to let us know.

Jason - Was the food good at least? I’ll take a free meal any day. And they seemed to really deserve losing out on a check

Jeff - Great to hear that you feel like you’re progressing! Some of the future Newbies are good to listen to. But how about jumping into the Beginner Lessons? Maybe Season 1 if you’re up to it

Jacqueline - Do you have a saying like that in the Dominican Republic? How’s the service there?

Jeff
Congratulations!! 축하 축하!!

Jacqueline
yeah you can say 손님은 왕입니다, 손님이 왕이다, 손님이 왕이에요, whichever you want

Jeff (rooster),졸업 축하해요!

and im happy cause i finally think ive graduated from newbie lessons the past few lessons, ive been able to understand the whole thing!….cool

We loitered at the cash register a minute, and then just left without paying. That was bad service and it cost them.

I just hope in this lesson that 손님 hasn’t lost his wallet.

That seems to happen often around here!
