Since it is winter and cold, I really miss 찜질방 back in Korea. It is basically a public sauna. You go there to sweat out some bad things and warm yourself in this kind of weather. Korean people love to go there as a family or a group of friends.
People go there to sweat out and eat and sleep. It is really fun going there. There are some places that you go and sweat like a sauna.
There are some places where you can lie down and sleep.
After you sweat in a sauna, you can go to a hot spring or public bath and take a bath.
How nice!!!! Huh!!??
There is one thing that Korean people do when they go to Jjimjilbang. It is making a sheep-head hat (양머리Yangmeori) with a towel. A very famous Korean drama started this hat in Jjimjilbang, and people started doing it since then.
Check people's 양머리.
This is how you make 양머리.
When you go to Korea, make sure you visit 찜질방 if you don't mind washing in a public bathtub...(Of course, you need to get naked when you are taking a bath.)
I think Korean people have the most fun time in college in their life in general.
When you are a high school student, you hardly have free time because you need to study to get into a college. It is really stressful. We even have a joke that there are three types of people in the world, men, women, and high school seniors.
Anyway, once you are done with high school life, you enter a college. (Around 80% of Korean high school students go to a college. That is really high.)
You start doing a lot of fun things like 미팅(miting), 소개팅(sogeting).
미팅 is a group blind date.
소개팅 is a 1 on 1 blind date.
Your parents will not be against you dating anyone now. You are in a college!!!
You do lots of blind dates.
You join 동아리(dong-ari). 동아리 is a group(circle). When I was in a college, I joined a travel 동아리 and a choir 동아리. The travel 동아리 got together a lot and drank a lot, so I didn't really like it and quit it. I really like the choir, and I still talk to people in the choir.
You go to lots of 엠티(emti). 엠티is MT(Membership Training). It is basically people in a same major or 동아리 go to the countryside, rent a house, play games, and drink alcohol together. It is usually one night and 2 days activity.
In Korea, we say countries' names by their real names, but some countries which have had a relationship with Korea for a long time, we have some different Koreanized names for them.
The countries are
USA, China, Japan, Germany, UK, Thailand, Taiwan, and India.
미팅(miting) is 'Meeting.' It has two meanings. The first one is like english, 'meeting' at a company. The other one is 'group blind date.' Since you meet someone for the first time, we call a blind date 미팅. If there are three girls who want to meet guys, a friend of them can introduce three guys to them. That is 미팅.
You do 미팅a lot when you go to college since you have almost no time to meet people and date in high school. You are supposed to study for a college and then you can date after you become a college student.
소개팅(Sogeting) is a combined word of 소개(soge) and 팅(ting). 소개 is introduction. 팅 is from 미팅. So this is an 1 on 1 blind date. Your friend hooks you up with another opposite sex.
Korean people are quite shy, so they would hardly approach some strangers and start talking to them. So... even if a Korean man meet his ideal woman on the street, he will probably not approach her. And, if you approach her and try to get her number or something, she will think that you are a player trying to pick up girls on the street. So... Korean people sometimes complain that they can't meet new people. so, they ask their friends to introduce somebody to them so that they can meet new people and possibly start dating.
Anyway, if you are still single, I hope you will find someone for you soon. :)
처녀(Cheonyeo) - Single woman(Bachelorette)
총각(Chongkak) - Single man(Bachelor)
처녀, 총각 are basically unmarried single woman and man. 미혼녀(Mihonnyeo), 미혼남(Mihonnam) are the same words as 처녀, 총각.
Here 녀(Nyeo) is woman, and 남(Nam) is man.
노처녀(Nocheonyeo) - Old bachelorette
노총각(Nochongkak) - Old bachelor
Many Korean people think that marriage is a very important thing in your life. If you are not married even after you turn 30, people around you start to say things like, "When are you gonna get married?" "Do you have someone to marry?" "Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?" "You need to start thinking about getting married seriously!"
So, many old bachelors or bachelorettes get stressed out whenever people say things like that to them.
노처녀, 노총각 don't have any starting age.
Even only 20 years ago, people consider women over 27 노처녀 and men over 30 노총각.
However, now, people think that women over 35 are 노처녀 and men over 40 are 노총각. But, everyone thinks differently. Some might think that a woman who is 31 years old is 노처녀 and some might not.
Once you get married, you become 기혼녀(Kihonnyeo), 기혼남(Kihonnam) or 유부녀(Yubunyeo), 유부남(Yubunam)
There are some slang words for these. Recently people have started to use 품절녀(Pumjeolnyeo), 품절남(Pumjeolnam) for married woman and man. 품절 means 'Sold out.' Basically, it is sold out or taken, so that the person is not available anymore.
There are some hoodies with 품절녀, 품절남 written on. You might want to wear them on your honeymoon.
Check these videos about 노총각 and 노처녀.
(Go to 1:25 to see the 노총각 part)
One thing that you should know about Korean culture is most Korean people think that older son or daughter should get married before younger ones.
The younger brother of 노총각 wants to get married, but since his older brother doesn't have any girlfriend and doesn't seem to get married any time soon, the younger brother gets frustrated and worries that his girlfriend might break up with him out of impatience.
Lots of 노총각, 노처녀s are complaining that their relatives are the ones that put the most pressure on them about marriage. So, holidays when families and relatives gather are the time that 노총각, 노처녀 are not really happy.
But, in Konglish, we use 이벤트 as a very special occurrence or some special thing that you do for somebody.
If a store holds 이벤트 an event, that means they might have some major sale for customers or bring some celebrities to the store so more customers can come to the store.
Black Friday, Black Saturday, Cyber Monday are considered 이벤트 in Korea.
This is an 이벤트 of 'Study abroad agency.'
They are saying they will give out some scholarship since they just opened a website about going to Japan.
Dunkin Donuts is doing some 이벤트 on Valentines day. If they buy something for their Valentines, they might win some prizes!
The loan company is doing some 이벤트 saying they will loan some money without interest for 7 days.
You can do some 이벤트 between couples.
If someone 이벤트하다 for her boyfriend or his girlfriend, that means they will throw some surprise party or propose with some music, songs in a nice place.
They do 이벤트 for their boyfriend or girlfriends' birthdays, anniversaries, 100 days after they became boyfriend or girlfriend, Valentine day, some special day, proposal, etc...
They light some candles and confess their love.
They reserve a coffee shop or a restaurant and decorate the place and confess their love with their friends.
They propose outside in public with strangers looking at them.
Especially women dream about romantic 이벤트 from their boyfriends, so many Korean guys are a bit pressured to do those 이벤트 since many other guys do it and their girlfriends get jealous and put some pressure to them.
이벤트 between couples takes place usually in public. They confess their love in the movie theater or they propose in a big coffee shop where there are many people.
Korea is such an 이벤트 country. If you don't do 이벤트, you are just not romantic and your girlfriend might think that you don't deserve a girlfriend. lol.
This is proposal 이벤트 which took place in Gangnam.
Here, a groom does 이벤트 at his wedding for his bride.
So... if you want a Korea girlfriend, REMEMBER! 이벤트 is very important! Especially in PUBLIC!! like in a movie!!!!
When you meet someone for the first time, you will say 'Hi! Nice to meet you!"
In Korea, you can say 안녕하세요(Annyeonghaseyo) or 안녕(Annyeong) for "Hi."
In Korea, we use two forms when we are talking.
When you are talking to older people and someone not familiar to you or just you want to respect the person, you use 'High Form.'
When you are talking to your friends and younger people or someone who are very close to you(even though they are older...like your mom, dad, brother, sister, or some older friends), you use 'Low Form.'
Some parents strictly make their children to use 'High Form' to them. It sounds more respectful.
안녕하세요(Annyeonghaseyo) is High Form.
안녕(Annyeong) is Low Form.
And then you might want to say "만나서 반갑습니다(Mannaseo Bangapseumnida)." or "만나서 반가워요(Mannaseo Bangawuoyo)."
It is "Nice to meet you." in Korean.
When you know the person and meet her or him, you can say "How are you doing?"
In Korean, it is "어떻게 지내세요?(Eoteoke jineseyo)"
Then, the answer may be "I am doing fine."
In Korean, it is "잘 지내요(Jal jineyo)." or "잘 지내고 있어요(Jal jinego iseoyo)."
One day, I was hanging out with my friends.
My cell phone rang, and I picked up. I started talking in Korean.
After I was done, my friends were like...'OMG, did you just say the 'N-word' over and over again?
I used it so many times that they couldn't miss it.
Well... Let me tell ya.
I didn't use the 'N-word.' The word in Korean just sounds similar to it.
There are two.
내가 and 니가
내가(Nega) means 'I' when you are emphasizing 'I' in the sentence.
니가(Niga) means 'YOU' when you are emphasizing 'You' in the sentence.
Well.. so... when I told them that, they all laughed.
If you don't know that, you might get offended.
There was one black guy who went to Korea and thought that some old man call him 'nigga' and assulted the old man. It is really bad.
If you want to check the video out, this is the video.
It is a really sad video...
Let's learn at least some basic language before you visit the country.
간지난다(Ganjinanda) is similar to 멋있다(Meosita). While 멋있다 is 'looking good,' 간지난다 means 'fashionable' and 'looking good with nice clothes' with fierceness and edge.
간지 is actually from 'Kanji' from Japanese. It is 'feeling' or 'vibe.'
So, if you translate 간지난다, it will be 'giving off good vibes.'
So, 간지난다 is 'fashionable' and 'looking good.(This doesn't means handsome. It should be more of fashionably looking good.)' and giving off fierce and edge vibes.
Gosh... He is just 간지 himself.
We call him 소간지(Soganji) since his lastname is So.
He is Bi Rain. We call him 비간지(Biganji).
Many Koreans also say Blacks are 간지난다.
We say 흑인간지(Heuginganji).
My hubby, James has some 간지, right? lol.
For some men readers, I need to put some women pictures.
I think the woman who has the most 간지 might be Rihanna.
Look at her. She is just 간지. I might need to call her '리간지(Riganji).' lol.
Wow. Wow. I like her. hee hee.
And... maybe another might be Blake Lively.
She is Serena in Gossip Girl.
She has real 간지.
She is only wearing this school uniform, and she just looks great!
쌩얼(Sseng-eol) is a face without any make-up.
쌩(Sseng) is a strong versions of 생(seng). 생 means 'raw.'
얼(eol) is the first letter from 얼굴(face).
Many Korean celebrities post their 쌩얼 pictures so that they show off their face without any make-up.
But the funny thing is most their 쌩얼 face is not just make-up free. They do their 쌩얼 make-up by applying some BB cream and very light lip gloss and etc. etc.
So... if someone says her face is 쌩얼 today, don't believe her 100% because she might have done some 쌩얼 makeup. :P
얼굴이 피다.(Eolguri pida.)
얼굴 is face, and 피다 means 'to bloom.'
So if you translate it directly, it will be 'a face is blooming.'
Obviously, a face can't bloom.
Can it? Maybe.. lol
So if someone says, 너 얼굴이 폈다(Neo eolguri pieota). That means you look happier and brighter.
Example: 너 요즘 좋은일 있니? 얼굴이 폈다. (Do you have anything good happening? You look brighter.
Since Korean letters don't have certain sounds that English has, we write some sounds in Korean letters which sound similar to the english letters.
Korean language does not have 'f' 'v' 'th'(in Thanks) 'th'(in Mother) 'l' 'r' 'z' sounds.
For 'l' 'r' sounds, we have very similar 'r' sound, but if you listen carefully, it is not really either 'l' or 'r.'
When you hear 'ra' in Camera, it is not 'l' or 'r'. You have to pronounce it placing your tip of the tongue right in the middle of the mouth ceiling.
Check this how 'orange' sounds.
That is how you should pronounce Korean 'r.'
As you just notice from the sound 'orange,' we always finish any words with either vowel or 'm' 'n' 'p' 'b' 'ng' 't'. If the ending sound is 'g' like Orange, you need to put a vowel to complete the word. We put 'i.'
Since we don't have 'v' sound, we change it to 'b' sound.
This one, too. Not video, it is bidio. :)
Since we don't have 'f' sound we change it to 'p' sound.
Kiss finishes with 's' sound which is not allowed to end with in Korean language, so we put 'eu' sound at the end.
This one, too. not just 't' you have to say 'teu.'
We don't have 'z' sound. so we just use 'j' sound.
For 'th' in thanks, we use 's' sound, and for 'th' in mother, we use 'd' sound.
Now, if you hear any Konglish words, you will be able to understand them! Yay!! :)
