How to say: Are you free?

[hwnstylez6298]

I heard Jason ask Pil Sook "Are you free?" in Dream High episode 7 after he punches the lockers.

It's something like "...심한댄야" lol that's what I heard.

Want to know because I could see it being useful in everyday conversation

I didn't watch that drama though,
Just guess it must have been "시간 되냐?"
It is extremely intimate expression so you could only use it to your best friends.

Or you could say it more softly as
"시간 있어?"
"시간 괜찮아?"

These are also able to be used to elders with "요" ending.
Hope this helps.

Hello 안녕하세요! hwnstylez6298님

Are you free? - we usually say "시간 있어?" or "시간 있냐?"

Your 심한댄야 seems like "시간 되냐?" I guess. You can use any of them.

Sean! You were faster than me.,.. 4min


감사합니다.
안녕하시죠?

여러분 고마워요!

Oh, one more question, I'm writing an e-mail to my summer school teacher, Kim 선생님, and I want to inform her that I'm no longer going to be attending because it's not the right level for me while being polite. How would I phrase one or two sentences regarding this?

Would this work? I appreciate it, thanks guys.

Teacher's name 선생님,

죄송합니다. 이수업이 좀 쉬워요. 그런데, KOR 102 만 들려고할거예요. 이제 부터 난 KOR 101 수업을 안 들어요.

감사합니다,
My name here

Sorry, one more thing!

I think there's an idiom "Please become rich everybody!" that goes something like "하 들 그저 되세요!"
Please correct my sentence >-< I was unable to figure out the words by ear :/

[julialim]

Your sentence is Good!! lol

I revised your sentence a little... Just have a look.

"죄송합니다. KOR101 수업이 저에게 좀 안 맞는 것 같아서
이제부터 KOR102만 들을려고 합니다. "


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

And "여러분! 부자되세요~~~"


Have a nice day! 좋은 하루 보내세요.

Sean you are amazing --how you can understand what people meant to say is such a talent!

I only wish we had been able to meet when I was in Korea -- it looks as though I will be there with my family the first 3 weeks of July -- nothings is definite yet -- but it would be cool if we could meet then -- I mean if we do indeed go. You still owe me some soju and a black eye -- I won't even defend myself .. but it has to be at a pojang macha that serves the best ojingo in the world -- ok?

[hwnstylez6298]

You guys are the best! I'm glad I invested in this community

But sheesh when I use Korean in public people must be laughing behind my back lol xD

Hi Julia, if you don't mind, just for the sake of helping me learn the language a little more what would "저에게" translate into, is that like saying "for me" ? And "좀 안 맞는 것" translates into "(I) would not be a good fit" ? I haven't learned how to use 것 properly and am new to the verb modifier (if 맞는 is in fact the verb modifier lol). I appreciate the help. I have an interview at the end of the summer to join the Korean Flagship program at my university which is a sure shot way to be able to go to Korea for a year and I'd love it if I could make my sentences sound more sophisticated than mere "subject + object + verb + ㅂ 니다" haha.

There's a phrase that translates into "Please take care." but it's something I haven't run in to before.

By ear it sounds like:
들어오 가세요.

Please correct me if I'm wrong

It has to be "들어가세요" and it literally means 'please go in (to your place)'.
Kind of short for "잘 들어가세요(please go in well)" or "조심해서 들어가세요(please go in carefully)"

It was easy for me because there were their English translations.

I only wish we had been able to meet when I was in Korea -- it looks as though I will be there with my family the first 3 weeks of July -- nothings is definite yet -- but it would be cool if we could meet then -- I mean if we do indeed go.

도전이 있으면 응전해야죠, 얼마든지... ㅋㅋㅋ
Please come.

It's undeniable that you all here are talented, not to mention very helpful; but most of all, you guys are the most encouraging bunch I've come across!

Even when we ask silly questions or write in Korean wrongly, you guys always praise us for our efforts and correct us ever so gently. It means alot to me who is learning the language and is not confident of speaking/writing yet...

진짜 감동받았어요ㅠㅠ
