| INTRODUCTION |
| Becky: Must-Know Korean Social Media Phrases Season 1. Lesson 17 - At the Local Market. |
| Becky: Hi everyone, I'm Becky. |
| Jaehwi: And I'm Jaehwi. |
| Becky: In this lesson, you'll learn how to post and leave comments in Korean about something weird you found at a local market. 재우 (Jae-Wu) finds an unusual item at a local market, posts an image of it, and leaves this comment: |
| Jaehwi: 이런 거 처음 봐! (ireon geo cheoum bwa!) |
| Becky: Meaning - "Never seen this before!" Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| Becky: Listen again to 재우 (Jae-Wu)'s post. |
| Jaehwi: 이런 거 처음 봐! (ireon geo cheoum bwa!) |
| Becky: "Never seen this before!" |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 이런 거 처음 봐! (ireon geo cheoum bwa!) (Regular) 이런 거 처음 봐! (ireon geo cheoum bwa!) |
| Becky: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "a thing like this." |
| Jaehwi: 이런 거 (ireon geo) |
| Becky: The formal version of this phrase will be.. |
| Jaehwi: 이런 것 (ireon geot,) |
| Becky: but in daily conversation, Korean people use the noun.. |
| Jaehwi: 거 (geo) |
| Becky: to mean “a thing” instead of the noun.. |
| Jaehwi: 것 (geot.) |
| Becky: Listen again- "a thing like this" is... |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 이런 거 (ireon geo) (REGULAR) 이런 거 (ireon geo) |
| Becky: Then comes the phrase - "to see something for the first time." |
| Jaehwi: 처음 봐! (cheoeum bwa!) |
| Becky: This expression can be used when you see something for the very first time and you want to express your surprise. Listen again- "to see something for the first time" is... |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 처음 봐! (cheoeum bwa!) (REGULAR) 처음 봐! (cheoeum bwa!) |
| Becky: All together, "Never seen something like this before!" |
| Jaehwi: 이런 거 처음 봐! (ireon geo cheoum bwa!) |
