Anneong haseyo

I’m an absolute beginner of Korean language.
Do you have any suggestion to start with writing in Korean? I may be able to say some fundamental expressions, but I can not write or read!

Gamsa hamnida and anneongha geseyo!

Hi Huong,

재미있다 means ‘interesting’ ‘having fun’.

어렵다 is the word meaning ‘difficult’, for example, 이 레슨은 어렵다. (This lesson is difficult)

Thank you!

Hi, Na Kib.

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.

Hi, Nakib. 안녕하세요–

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.

Hi Sasha,

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.

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

Sasha,
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!’
