I live in Hawaii . The winter weather is much nicer than in Korea! How do you write “I live in Hawaii.” in Korean?
Some of the sample questions are very difficult for an absolute beginner. I could not find “쓰고 ” in the dictionary. Is is a form of “to wear”? Thank you.
Wednesday at 2:13 pm
I heard that Hawaii is nice place to live. lol
—————————————————————————————
Where do you live?
I live in Hawaii.
Korean answer or
—————————————————————————————
쓰고’s basic verb is “쓰다” (to wear)
But It has another meaning which is “to write”.
편지를 쓰다./글씨를 쓰다.

I noticed in the “writing questions” section that the student is required to read the Korean word and write (type) the English equivalent. Does the student have the option to read the English word and type the Korean equivalent?
Saturday at 8:39 pm
Hello Yaoshi - Thanks for your inquiry. Currently, the writing questions only support entering answers in English. With that said, I really like your suggestion and will be sure to pass it along to our product development team for possible inclusion in a future release.

안녕하세요?
May I ask what is 화이팅?
감사합니다.
Tuesday at 9:45 am
화이팅! is actually word for ‘Fighting’. It sounds like ‘Piting’ when Koreans say.
When Koreans try to make you get motivated or cheer you up, they say ‘화이팅’. It’s like ‘Cheers’ or ‘Good Luck!’
Wednesday at 9:25 am
안녕하세요?
A silly question. If they say 파이팅!, why they write ‘화이팅’? It is a common word in some Kdramas.
Are there other words, where the writing differs from the saying?
싸샤
Wednesday at 11:16 am
You can write both 파이팅(Piting), 화이팅(Hwaiting) for writing ‘Fighting’. Since there is no sound for F, Koreans write it down both in ㅍ(pieup) or ㅎ(hiet). For example, Koreans read ‘Fire’ as ‘파이어(pier) and also 화이어 (hwaier)
So it doesn’t matter which way you choose to read and write.

annyong-haseyo,
what is “이번 레슨은 재미있었죠?” ?
Monday at 9:56 am
I’m Jaehwi from Koreanclass101.com
이번 레슨은 재미있었죠 means ‘This lesson was interesting, wasn’t it?’
이번 means This, or This time
레슨 means Lessons, its pronunciation in Korean is resun.
재미있다 means ‘to be interesting’ and if you combine the verb-stem with 었죠? (the particle means ‘Wasn’t it?’) then it becomes 재미있었죠?
I hope this would help you.
Thank you. 감사합니다.

annyong haseyo, jaehwi-nim, how do I say “if you understand then lets go”..
the thing that I know here is “lets go” which is “kap-shi-da” and the word if which is “myeon” …..
Tuesday at 9:10 am
안녕하세요.
Nice to meet you here on Koreanclass101.com, too, after Facebook. It is great to see you studying Korean with our lessons : )
To mean ‘if you understand, then let’s go’, you can say
‘이해했으면 같이 갑시다’
Ihaehateumyeon katchi gapsida.
이해하다 is the verb meaning ‘to understand’ and as you mentioned, you can add the particle ‘면’ to mean ‘if’. So, you can say 이해했으면 to literally mean ‘If you understood’
To say ‘Let’s go’, you can say ‘갑시다(gapsida)’ as you mentioned. But, to be more friendly, you can also say ‘가요’(gayo / will go), or 갈까요?(galkkayo? shall we go?)
I would like to recommend you say ‘이해했으면 같이 갈까요?’ (ihaehaseumyeon gatchi galkkayo?) because it is more friendly and also polite.
I hope this would help you.
Thank you.
