Poem Corrections

Postby alinilinguini1953 » February 10th, 2011 12:45 am

Hello!
I wrote this little poem for a Korean friend (Dami) and she said that I had some misspellings. She still understood, but can someone help?
Thank you! Here it is (I don't know if you could call it a poem though...well it's writing :) ) :

“식당”
신당: 알리나
실례합니다, 아저씨
내가 미극사람.
아침식사 먹고싶슾니다.
웨이터 어디 있읍니더?
어디?
검사헢니더.
웽이터!
성선이 줗아합니다.
얼마입니다까?
한국둔?
미국둔?
상선이 주세요.




Thank you!

Hello alinilinguini1953,

Hello alinilinguini1953,
This is Tim from KC101.com.
Here are my helps for you... (I really don't think it is a poem though... I feel like it's a Korean lesson though...)
anyway...

“식당”
신당: 알리나 => 식당
실례합니다, 아저씨
내가 미극사람. => 내가 미국 사람입니다.
아침식사 먹고싶슾니다. =>먹고 싶습니다
웨이터 어디 있읍니더? => 있습니까?
어디?
검사헢니더. => 감사합니다
웽이터! => 웨이터
성선이 줗아합니다. => 생선? => 생선을 좋아합니다
얼마입니다까? => 얼마입니까?
한국? => 한국돈
미국? => 미국돈
상선이 주세요. => 개산서 주세요 (I guess)

After fixing it, I am 100% it's a dialogue NOT a poem.
it's a dialogue taking place in a Korean restaurant.
cheers,

woops...It's worse than I thought...but 정물 감사합니다! It's a start.
So, what would make a Korean poem Korean? (Other than it being in Korean :D )
What would be the biggest thing that I could learn from this? I see the difference in characters, but I don't fully understand....I know sometimes I see 니다 and sometimes 싸, when do you use which?
도와줘서 감사합니다!
