Becky: Hi everyone, I'm Becky.

POST
Becky: Listen again to Jaewu's post.
Jaehwi: 올해엔 제발 좀! (olhae-en jebal jom!)
Becky: "PLEASE win this year!"
Jaehwi: (SLOW) 올해엔 제발 좀! (olhae-en jebal jom!) (Regular) 올해엔 제발 좀! (olhae-en jebal jom!)
Becky: Let's break this down. First is an phrase meaning "this year."
Jaehwi: 올해엔 (holae-en)
Becky: In spoken Korean, people shorten particles with two syllables. So, for example, the particle..
Jaehwi: 엔.
Becky: Should actually be pronounced..
Jaehwi: 에는
Becky:.. as in
Jaehwi: 올해에는,
Becky: But for spoken Korean or on social media, it sounds more natural to say..
Jaehwi: 올해엔
Becky:.. and use the particle in a shortened form. Listen again. "This Year" is...
Jaehwi: (SLOW) 올해엔 (holae-en) (REGULAR) 올해엔 (holae-en)
Becky: Then comes the phrase - "please!."
Jaehwi: 제발 좀! (jebal jom!)
Becky: Here, we have the word..
Jaehwi: 제발
Becky: By itself, it means "please", but if you add the adverb..
Jaehwi: 좀
Becky:.. meaning "more", it emphasizes that you really want something to happen. Listen again. "Please!" is...
Jaehwi: (SLOW) 제발 좀! (jebal jom!) (REGULAR) 제발 좀! (jebal jom!)
Becky: All together, "PLEASE win this year!" or literally “Please, in this year.”
Jaehwi: 올해엔 제발 좀! (olhae-en jebal jom!)
