Hi Colin,

Thanks for the comment. As for the links, we couldn’t see the links on the page 4 of the PDF note on this lesson.

Could you let us know if you can see the links?

Thanks.

Hi Collin,

여전히 means still and 아직 means yet.

So 여전히 is when something is there for a long time and 아직 is when something had not happened yet.

Hope this helped!

Thank you,

To join consecutive nouns,

과/와, 하고, and 랑 can be used ^_^

-도 is to express “also”

ex)
나, 저 = me
나도, 저도 = me too

And -(이)라고 is for ‘quotation’

ex)
-라고 하다 = to say ” ”
선생님이라고 하다 = to say that he/she is a teacher

And among 과/와, 하고, and 랑,
-하고 is the most neutral one,
랑 is more casual and 과/와 is more formal ^^

If you are not sure, please try making some sentences on your own here, and I’ll let you know if they are natural ^_^!!!

What is the difference between using
도 to join consecutive nouns
and 과/와?
or 라고?

Wasn’t there a previous lesson that used 라고 in a similar way?

How do you know when to use which word?

Trent, you might be onto something. But Korean dramas drag on way too long. Is there anyway we can get to the end sooner.

I don’t know why, I just have a feeling that in this ‘drama’ Keith and Seol will get together by the end of the series…

Keith,
It seems your cohosts are typical Korean girls. They don’t get American humor like when you jokingly praise yourself. They are so blunt and harsh to you. How do you keep up your confidence being around them so much. You are so 짱 for not feeling hurt.
Girls,
When an American guy talks about himself in a joking way, it is the same as a Korean guy feigning humility. Both are considered good in their respective cultures. So don’t be so hard on him.

If you want to say something similar to 비행기 태우지 마세요 but still use a little advanced vocab, you can say “과찬이십니다” or “과찬이세요” ^^ too.

과찬 = 과(extra) + 칭찬 ^^

착하다 is another one of those words that translates strangely between English and Korean. I’m glad you helped put it in context, and explain that if you cleaned your 하숙집 living space and were told by the 하숙집 아줌마 that you’re 착해, she’s not saying you’re “kind” necessarily, but rather that you did the right, good thing.

Ah, language nuance subtleties. Vive la difference…
