Learn Korean with KoreanClass101.com! You know those friends - everyone has one…sometimes more - that only show up when they need (want) something? Yeah, you know the ones I’m talking about. Last week, my “friend” showed up at my house in Korea and surprised me with a cake! I couldn’t believe my eyes…that is, until she began speaking. She told me in Korean, “I brought this cake for you in order that you might do a favor for me.” Humph! It’s one of “those” cakes…the ones with strings attached. You reply in Korean, “You brought this cake for me to eat just so I would do something for you?! What do you want me to do for you?!” Sheepishly, she replies in Korean, “Well, I was hoping that you would like the cake enough that you might work for me this weekend so I can go out with my boyfriend.” She must be crazy, right? You reply in Korean, “Thanks, but you can keep your cake. My boyfriend works so that I don’t have to AND he brings me enough cake to eat so that I don’t need yours!” That might have been a bit brutal.
