You have been trying to think of a way to strike up a conversation with new people in Korea…make some new friends, but you are very shy. Today is such a beautiful summer day in Korea…it sure would be nice to have some new Korean friends to chat with in Korean! Instead, you sit down at an outdoor Korean café, order a coffee, and take a huge drink, not thinking about how hot it might be! Seconds later, as it scalds your tongue, you look around you for help and beg the table of young people next to you in Korean, “please, help! It’s hot!” Laughing they jump to your aid and hand you their ice cream. You shove mounds into your mouth to soothe your ailing tongue…screaming moments later in Korean, “It’s too cold!” Well, you have broken the ice with some new Korean friends, so to speak!

더워요… 아이스크림 주세요! ^^ (It’s hot… Please give us some ice cream!) What do you do when it’s extremely hot? 너무 더울 때, 여러분은 뭐 하세요?

I studied Chinese in a university where half of the students were 한국사람. Every time we’d go out, you’d hear lots of people muttering 추워, 추워… there were that many Koreans and they said it that many times that I think the whole campus knew what 추워 meant after a while.

더울 때, 어떻게… it’s getting a little 더워 now!

너무 더울때 저도 밭빙수 먹어요! 지금 맛있겠네!!

(ㅁ,,, - I’m trying to express “drooling at the mouth” in hangul emoticons - how do you really do it?)

Ed says:

쭈쭈바… Sounds like “Otter Pops”!

theresa says:

i go play at the playground!!!

아니면 밖에 안 가고 에어콘을 켜요.

it’s either you sweat alot or you don’t sweat at all! haha.

더울때 땀이 많이 나면 날씨가 더 시원하게 될 것 같아서 우리 보통 매운 음식을 먹어요. ㅎㅎ

너무 더울때 아침에 수박을 사러 시장에 가고
냉장고에 넣고 하루정읻 먹어요.
그리고… 오늘 질문이 없어요 :grin:

Margaret says:

하루정일! Again :grin:

Ed :)

I don’t know how to make a ‘drooling at the mouth’ face in emoticon either. hahaha. it sounds difficult! 입에서 침을 흘리는 얼굴을 어떻게 이모티콘으로 표시하는지 모르겠어요. 하하. 어려울 것 같아요.

Theresa :)

I agree!!!!
땀을 ‘정말’ 많이 흘리면, 더위를 잊을 수 있는 것 같아!! ^^ But I never eat anything spicy when it’s hot… haha.

선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Margaret :)

사실, all day long은 :) “하루 종일”이에요.

Watermelon sounds soo good. I can easily buy some watermelon here too but I haven’t had it in such a long while… 수박 먹어 본 지 너무 오래 됐어요. Maybe I’ll go buy one one of these days. 조만간 한 통 사러 가야겠어요 ㅎㅎ

Shan says:

Singapore는 너무 더워요! We have lots of cold desserts over here too! “Ice kacang” is a favourite here: a mountain of shaved ice over a bed of red beans, corn and fruits.. :)

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Oh :) Shan, I see! That’s what you call it in Singapore. “Ic kacang” - in Korea we call it 팥빙수 (pat bing su) :)

팥 = red bean
빙 = ice
수 = water

Hehe. I LOVE ice kacang too :)

We call it 과일빙수 if there’s fruit on it. :)

Margaret says:

현우 :smile: Thank you for correcting my mistakes :smile:
잘 쓰지 못하지만 좋아해요! :razz:
지금 폴란드도 더워요! 오늘은 수박을 벌써 먹었어요!

선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Margaret,

많이 틀릴수록 빨리 늘어요! :)
(the more mistakes you make, the faster you improve) :mrgreen:

저도 수박 먹고 싶어요.
집 앞에 있는 시장에서 수박을 파는데… 조금 비싼 것 같아요.

There’s a Filipino version of 밭빙수/ice kacang - it’s called “halo-halo”. (”비빔비빔”이라고 생각하는데요…)

The special version not only has ice, fruits, beans, evaporated milk, and young roasted rice, it also has purple yam jam (called “haleyang ube”), egg custard (”leche flan), and even a scoop of ice cream on top!

emily (holdfast) says:

i saw them make halo-halo on top chef :mrgreen:

theresa says:

eek. i don’t like ice kachang. because of the milk thing. haha.

shan,

i’ll take the cheng tng please. haha.

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

I’d love to try all different versions of ice kacang in every country :D

비슷해도 조금씩 다를 것 같아요 :)
(I think they will be a little bit different from each other although they are similar).

Shena says:

I love halo-halo during summer…try it everyone! ^^ you’ll love it!

Angie says:

PLease help:

What is evaporated milk (conensed milk) in Korean? Also if you could give the hangeul it would help. Anyone please! I need to make candy for my students!

avatar
선현우 says:

Angie :)

I hope this answer isn’t too late ! “Evaporated milk” in Korean is “연유” or “무가당 연유” ^^

스카트 says:
