my other half

Postby iDoof » December 16th, 2011 5:44 pm

if i want to describe a girl as my 'other half', i.e. my soulmate, what's a good, poetic way to express that? is 마음의 상대자 ok?

You could use 나의 반쪽 literally meaning 'my other half' but it's hardly poetic in my opinion.

(below is straight from naver)
Where could my other half[soulmate] be?
나의 반쪽은 어디 있을까?


Other suggestions:
내가 소중하는 사람

아니면 "아름다운 나의 사람아" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l0aR5i74E8 어떨까요? 물론 농담이고요

I will say "내 짝이다"! :) It's pretty fitting cos "짝" can be used as one of a pair e.g 양말/구두/장갑 한 짝 - one side of a pair of socks/shoes/gloves, and it can also be used to mean "mate" or "partner"...

Sorry, I forgot about the "poetic" bit. How about the slightly modified "내 운명의 짝..."?
