Hyunwoo here. : ) Here is a very common mistake that a lot of Korean learners (and even some Korean people) make. When you want to say, "what should I do?" or "what are we supposed to do?" you can say 어떡해? But a lot of people write 어떻게? What's the difference? 어떡해? vs 어떻게? 어떡해 is a combination of 어떻게 +해. So if you just write 어떻게, it means "how" or "using what kind of method" so it does not convey the complete meaning of "What am I supposed to do?" Well, when you are SPEAKING, those two phrases sound the same, but when you write, it is important to be able to distinguish the two. So remember : ) 어떻게 = "how" 어떡해 = "What am I supposed to do?"

Hi Hyunwoo here. I hope everybody is having a wonderful day and enjoying your Korean studies. Some might think there's enough variety to the list of categories on this blog already, but I've just added one more category to it. And as you can see, it's about how to translate certain words or phrases between English and Korean - sometimes from English to Korean, and other times, the other way around. I'd like to start with a very basic word describing a very important behavior, which, however, is not translated very correctly all the time. It's  'to eat.' What's the Korean word for it? It's very easy. 먹다. But the thing is, when you use it in a sentence, you always need an object noun. So for example, if you want to say "I'm... Show more
