POST CONVERSATION BANTER
Keith: All right, Miseon-ssi.
Miseon: 네 (ne).
Keith: What do you usually bring when you go to a housewarming party?
Miseon: Well, in Korea they usually bring like, candles, and detergents, and bathroom tissues and something like that. Yeah, that …
Keith: Well, the bathroom tissues and the detergents; I can understand. You are helping out with the house. But, why the candles?
Miseon: Candle … when you lit the candles actually, then it becomes bright. So, they’re actually a blessing, You know.
Keith: Kind of a blessing for the house.
Miseon: it’s kind of like, yeah, symbolize the blessing of that space.
Keith: Oh wow, Okay.
Miseon: Yeah.
Keith: Well, one thing that I know not to bring or not to give, is knives. Because I asked my mum for a knife when I was moving to college, and going to new apartment. So, mum, give me a knife, I need to cook or something, all right? She was like, no, and she was really like no, I’am not giving you a knife, and I was like, why, what happened. She said that in Korea this’s just not a gift that you give to someone. You don’t give anyone a knife because it symbolises you know, bad things like killing, death or all the negative stuff. So she said, buy your own knife.
Miseon: I mean, it does make sense but I never heard that in my whole life, actually.
Keith: Maybe it’s different from where my mum is from, may be, but she said it was a Korean thing. May be my mum is lying I don’t know. It’s a fair thing.
Miseon: You know one thing I remember [that] my friend’s best friend actually is a cook.
Keith: Okay.
Miseon: So you know, when she have a housewarming party actually. We as the people actual friends, you know, pay a little bit of money and then bought a knife for her.
Keith: Really. How did she react?
Miseon: She was so happy.
Keith: May be it’s like an old Korean thing to not give knives.
Miseon: Yeah, maybe.
Keith: Maybe.
Miseon: But nowadays it doesn’t matter, right?
Keith: Just give whatever you want.
Miseon: You know, right. And what they need.
Keith: Candles are always a nice gift to symbolize a happy home.
Miseon: Yeah, that’s true.
Keith: All right, so let’s have a look at the vocabulary for this lesson.

Miseon: 너무 (neomu) [slowly - broken down by syllable]
Miseon: 너무 (neomu) [natural native speed]
VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE
Keith: All right, so let’s have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson.
Miseon: 네 (ne). The first word we look at is 이사하다 (isahada).
Keith: To move, to move into a new house.
Miseon: 이사하다 (isahada), 이사하다 (isahada).
Keith: Okay, now 이사하다 (isahada) is the general word for moving. But in Korean, there are two more ways to describe whether you are moving out or you’re moving in.
Miseon: 네 (ne). So, if you’re moving out from this house and going away to different place, you use the verb to go “to go”, 가다 (gada), and say 이사 가다. (isa gada.)
Keith: And what’s the opposite if you’re moving in?
Miseon: If you’re moving into a house from somewhere else, you use “to come” 오다 (oda), and say 이사 오다. (isa oda.)
Keith: So that’s 이사 가다 (isa gada) and 이사 오다. (isa oda.) And the general verb to move is:
Miseon: 이사하다. (isahada.)
Keith: Right, so we’re just changing 하다 (hada) at the end to 가다 (gada) or 오다 (oda).
Miseon: 네 (ne), 맞아요 (majayo). And you know one interesting thing about this verb, is the first two letters 이사 (isa), they sound like numbers. Right?
Keith: Right, 이 (i) and 사 (sa).
Miseon: 네 (ne). Did everybody guess what number that is?
Keith: Oh, I did, I did. I know what they are.
Miseon: Oh, not you, not you.
Keith: I’m going to say it anyway. Two and four.
Miseon: 네 (ne), 맞아요 (majayo). 이사 (isa).
Keith: 이사 (isa), two four.
Miseon: So, a lot of moving agencies have this number repeated in their phone number. Like, 555-이사이사 (isaisa).
Keith: That’s 555-2424 이사이사 (isaisa), and I also see 2482 , 이사팔이 (isapari), 2482 이사 빨리 (isa ppalli). 빨리 (ppalli) “eight two”, “moving quickly”.
Miseon: That’s funny. Right? but one’s pretty common too, right?
Keith: Yeah, so, now it’s almost weird if a moving agency doesn’t have 이사 (isa) “two four” in their phone number.
Miseon: 네 (ne), I think so too.
Keith: Okay, so what’s the next word we are taking a look at?
Miseon: 집들이 (jipdeuri)
Keith: Housewarming party.
Miseon: 집들이, 집들이. (jipdeuri, jipdeuri.)
Keith: All right, so a housewarming party is 집들이 (jipdeuri) and it comes from two words, correct?
Miseon: 네 (ne). 집 (jip) and 들다 (deulda) or 들어가다 (deureogada)
Keith: All right, that’s house and enter.
Miseon: 집들이. (jipdeuri.)
Keith: And when you give or when you throw a housewarming party, what’s the verb that we use?
Miseon: 하다 (hada). 집들이하다. (jipdeurihada.)
Keith: To give a housewarming party or to throw a housewarming party. All right, great job, so now let’s take a look at focus for this lesson.
Miseon: 네 (ne).

Lesson focus

Keith: Miseon-ssi, What’s the focus of this lesson?
Miseon: The focus of this lesson is how to emphasis and adjective using the word 너무 (neomu), and also learn some expressions about moving.
Keith: As in the example:
Miseon: 새 집 너무 좋아! (sae jip neomu joa!)
Keith: The new house is really good.
Miseon: 네 (ne). When you want to say something is very good, very expensive, very tasty and etc. etc. you can use the expression 너무 (neomu).
Keith: All right, well the word 너무 (neomu) literally means “too”, or “excessively”. But actually in modern Korean, 너무 (neomu) is very commonly used to mean very, or really.
Miseon: 네 (ne), there are other Korean words that you can find in the dictionary translations for very, but 너무 (neomu) is the word that’s most commonly used.
Keith: And let me take a guest that’s especially by young women, isn’t that right?
Miseon: 네 (ne), and you can determine whether 너무 (neomu) means “very” or “excessively” through the context.
Keith: Okay, so how do you use that in a sentence?
Miseon: Just put the word 너무 (neomu) in front of the adjective or adverb, that you want to emphasize.
Keith: That’s it?
Miseon: 네 (ne). That’s it. So for example, 좋아요 (joayo) is "It's good.", so if you want to say "it's really good" you can say 너무 좋아요. (neomu joayo.)
Keith: How about if you want to say something is too expensive?
Miseon: It’s the same, just adding 너무 (neomu) in front of 비싸요 (bissayo). So 너무 비싸요 (neomu bissayo).
Keith: Great, can you give us some more sample sentences?
Miseon: 여기 너무 좋아요! (yeogi neomu joayo!)
Keith: "I really like this place."
Miseon: 오늘 너무 더워요. (oneul neomu deowoyo.)
Keith: "It's too hot today."
Miseon: 너무 맛있어요. (neomu masisseoyo.)
Keith: "It's really delicious." Okay, so how was it used in the dialogue for this lesson?
Miseon: 너무 좋아! (neomu joa!)
Keith: "It's really good!"
Miseon: 부엌도 너무 넓고, 방도 너무 예쁘고, 전망도 너무 좋아. (bueokdo neomu neolgo, bangdo neomu yeppeugo, jeonmangdo neomu joa.)
Keith: "The kitchen's really big, the room is really pretty and the view is really nice. too."
Miseon: 너무 비싸… (neomu bissa…)
Keith: "It's too expensive."

Miseon: Okay, before we go, we got an Email asking; what is the sample feed?
Keith: Well, the short answer is: 10 free lessons with all the accompanying materials.
Miseon: The pdfs, conversation only tracks, review tracks, right?
