Once you arrive, the teacher is terribly busy taking headcounts for everything! You have to wonder to yourself if that’s all she does all day! The kids line up for a restroom break and she begins counting them in Korean, “One, two, three, four…get back in line…five.” When they leave the bathroom, she does the same thing.

“아스크림” –> 아이스크림 : )

“저는 아이스크림을 안 좋아하지만, 아이스바를 너무 좋아해요.” :)

한국에 와서 초코파이 많이 먹어 되었다. 서양 간식 더촣다. 그레서 게나다에서 서양간식 가져왔다. 채일 한국간식은 아이스크림이다. 한국 아이스크림 찐자 촣아하다.

at first, sorry, english is not my native language, but i hope my question will be understandable.

when the teacher is saying
다 먹을 거예요
she is saying 다 on a strange(? i guess, it’s not the right word) voice.

it seems to me that she is emphasizing 다 with this tone. i hear this “deep-throat tone” many times in korean dramas. what is the role of this tone exactly?

KoreanClass101.com says:

:razz: Hi, Kissja5302. I understood your question, so don’t worry about it : )

When Koreans want to emphasize the meaning ‘ALL’ or ‘EVERYTHING’, they read the word ‘다(da)’ with strong and long accent. That’s why it sounds like ‘Ta’, not ‘da’. Since there is no adverb ‘타(ta)’, people understand that it means ‘all’.

So, it is okay if you read the word like ‘ta’ if you want to emphasize the meaning.

Thank you.
