You’re going out on a secret date, and somebody asked you “어디 가는 길이에요?” - How would you answer in Korean?

하하하 “그냥 돌아다니고 있어요” ^^;;
저는 한번도 그렇게 대답해 본 적 없는 것 같아요. 아마도 사람들이 ‘너 참 할 일 없구나’라고 생각할까 걱정돼서 그랬나 봐요. ㅎㅎ (I’ve never given such an answer before. Maybe because I was afraid that people might think ‘oh you’ve got nothing to do’ LOL)

“왜요”라고 되물으면 사람들이 대부분 “아… 아니 그냥…” 이라고 대답할 거예요 ㅎ 원래부터 물어보는 데에 특별한 이유가 없었을 테니까요.
(If you ask them back ‘why?’ most people will just say ‘um… just … no reaosn/just checking’ because they probably didn’t have a reason for asking in the first place anyway.)

Hello everyone,
This website is really great. I have been in Korea for almost 5 years and I could not talk in proper korean with my friends. They gave up on my learning the language. But with this website, I began to understand common conversations/phrases when I listen to my friends.

어디에 가는 길이다
어디에 가는 중이다
don’t these two sentences mean the same thing?
Wednesday at 3:02 pm
marcus
네, they can mean the same thing. But 가는 길이다 is more specifically for the meaning of ‘on one’s way to a place’ for example, you can say ‘집에 오는 길에 Sally를 만났어요’ but you ‘집에 오는 중에 Sally를 만났어요’ is not very natural
And in the same way, you can say ‘지금 밥 먹는 중이에요’ but not ‘지금 밥 먹는 길이에요’

question, so you said that people often greet others with “where are you going?” but you said that they don’t mean that literally. so how would someone reply if this is the greeting but not meant literally?
Wednesday at 4:26 pm
Andrew
Good question.
좋은 질문이에요.
You can just say 네, 그냥 어디 좀 가요. (yeah I’m just going somewhere) or 네, 갈 데가 있어서요. (yeah, I have a place I have to go to.)
Thursday at 1:46 am
another question for you. lets say that i’m meeting you for lunch today and i’m a little late. so you call me and ask 어디 쯤/즘/좀(
Thursday at 2:03 am
sorry that didn’t post correctly. so if you call and ask me 어디 즘이아? how would i reply? normally i say 아, 거의 다 왔어. but the confusing thing is 와 is used in reference to someone coming to my location and 가 is used for me going to someone else’s location. example: 네 집으로 갈께. 우리집으로 와. or 가는길이야. you would never say 오는길이아 unless maybe 갔다 오는길이아.
Thursday at 8:42 pm
is this construction just for going to a place, or can it be used for other ‘movement’ verbs like 달리다 e.g. 저는 지금 달리는 길이야.
And can it be used for specific methods of going/coming like driving or walking? e.g. 나 아까 우리 엄마 집에 저녁 먹으러 운전하는 길이었어
Friday at 12:55 pm
Andrew
That’s 어디쯤 .
And I would say 어디쯤이에요? to ask whereabout you are.
And what you said is right. It’s usually “가다” when you are going somewhere and never “오다” but in the case of “거의 다 왔어”, please think of 오다 as ‘to arrive’
so you arrived…almost but still not there, so you can say 거의 다 왔어.
Friday at 12:57 pm
KiwiKoreanStudent
It’s usually only for going somewhere, if you use it with other movements, it gets a different meaning, for example, 달리는 길 would sound like a ‘path’ where you run

In this lesson you mention a 책배우점 (is that the right spelling?) which rents books. How does that work? And where do you find these places?
Friday at 1:12 pm
Hello Tamar,
hmm… do you have two faces?? one male an one female…??
Anyway… this is Tim from KC101.com.
You wrote, 책배우점.
It’s 책대여점 [chaek-dae-yeo-jeom] “stores which rent books”
How does that work? Haven’t you rent a DVD or movie something??
It’s just like that. Rental video / movies…
hope my explanation helps,
cheers,
Tim

Dear KL101 staff,
Please note that the line-by-line audio buttons are missing on this lesson (”Lower Intermediate #8 - I’m on My Way”). I assume others have the same problem with this.

Dear, Lori.
I’m Jaehwi Lee from Koreanclass101.com
First of all, we are sorry for the inconvenience. We’ve checked the line by line section and found out the same problem. Our Audio team is now working on these files, and We’re sure that the files will be uploaded soon. I’ll let you know when they are ready, on this comment section.
We’ve checked the following lessons of this series, and it seems like only this lesson has the problem.
Thank you for letting us know the issue.
감사합니다.
