여러분… 집에서 몰래 나가 본 적이 있나요?
(Everyone… have you ever snuck out of your house?)

집에서 몰래 나가 본 적이 없어요 ㅋㅋㅋ. 몰래 나가는 것을 못해요. 집에 아빠랑 엄마랑 저 밖에 다른 사람이 없어서 제가 갑자기 없으면 they are sure to find out! haha.

btw, happy birthday to keith too! =)

first!

wait - maxiewawa! you beat me anyways - happy birthday keith!

Thanks Matthew

Yes Rigo, today’s my birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !

오, Keith씨 생일이었나 보네요.

늦게나마 축하해요!

when is ~라 used?

ex. 수고해라

Jacqueline,

-라 is used for imperatives , from someone who’s older to someone who’s younger

Most of the time ‘수고해’ is enough as an imperative, but putting -라 at the end makes it more masculin (not all the time, though) and more casual.

I use both 수고해 and 수고해라 equally often.

고마워요 현우!

Wow thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! My birthday is pretty low key usually, but I feel special today hehe.

I had a really good birthday!

생일…미안해요

집에서 몰래 나가 본 적 없어요.
저는 그렇게 해보면 어머니가 저를 죽일꺼에요
그래서…무서워요.

늦어서 죄송합니다…I’m always late ㅋㅋ:
Keith씨,belated 생일 축하해요! 미역국 먹었어요?
I’ve heard that you should not eat 미역국 when you have to take an exam, because if you do, you’ll fail…anyone else heard of that, too? ㅋㅋ

“belated 생일 축하해요” can be translated into Korean as

“늦었지만 생일 축하해요”

oh Happy Birthday Keith! is it today? *popo*
more blessings to come. =)

^ 같은 이름이에요! 하하! only the spelling is different.

저는 집에서 몰래 나가 본 적이 많이 있었어요.
내 방이 땅에서 너무 가까워서 창문으로도
나갈 수 있거든요. ㅋㅋㅋ
하지만 우리 부모님의 방은 내 방 앞에 있고
우리 엄마 귀가 아주 좋아서 언제나 저 집에서
나가면 알세요.
밤에 늦게 돌아오면 깜짝 놀라는 번이 많이 있었어요.
왜냐하면 집 안에 불이 없고 엄마는 문 앞에 있으면
진짜 무서워요!!

So, ” 너 누구랑 같이 있었어 ”
would be the same as ” 너 누구랑 있었어 ” ?

maybe including 같이 it would translate: who were you together with? … but in English it’s ok to leave the “together” out.

Since 같이 and 랑 share the same meaning (with) in this kind of sentence, is it necessary (or is it common) to have both of them in Korean?

thanks!

Robert,

Yes! 너 누구랑 같이 있었어 and 너 누구랑 있었어 have the same meaning!

And also,
나랑 같이 갈래?
and
나랑 갈래?

these two have the same meaning too - they both mean ‘do you want to go with me?’

So what you said is correct, you don’t really need the 같이 there, but it’s very common to find -랑/이랑 같이 or -와/과 함께 in every Korean conversations.

It’s not a matter of which one is more correct, but people tend to prefer adding ‘같이’ in there, just to make sure they deliver the meaning of ‘together’
