You know, IU (Lee Ji-Eun) is my favorite actress, solo singer, idol, and my everything when it comes to my love for Korea. I actually started loving the Korean language after watching her drama 'Moon Lovers: Scarlett Heart Ryeo'. 

So, in this post, I'm gonna teach you Korean with 'CELEBRITY'.

Let's start!

If you feel like watching the 'Celebrity', I'm putting the video link down here. 


So, let's get started! Before that, how many IU fans are here? Don't forget to comment your names below!

Celebrity
You are my celebrity

Okay, so now my views upon the song.

The summary, or the meaning I felt after singing the song is, 

The whole song reminds us not to feel shy in what we do. You all are like celebrities and keep your heads up, always. Don't let anybody run over you. Also, you don't have any idea about the all bright places and lights above your head, at times when you keep your heads down. So, my friend, always remember that you are a celebrity to me. 

"Don’t forget among the cloudy dark
You’re a star painted with a left hand
Can’t you see how beautiful
A true uniqueness can be
You are my celebrity"

And as conclusion, if anybody has any suggestions or corrections, please ping me up in the comment section. I'll always make sure to reply you all without delay.

Have a nice day. Bye!


 How You Like That - Korean song - BlackPink

Hey, It's been a loooooong time since we met, right? Let's say I was busy with some works, like exams preparations, exams, all those kinda stuff. I'm really sorry for making you guys wait this long. 

So, since it's my first post after this break, I decided to come up with something more interesting, yet very useful. I'm pretty sure that you'll love it too. 'cause I've got something up my sleeve. 

궁금해? (What's this? kungkeumhae? means, Are you curious?)

So, today, we're gonna learn Korean with BlankPink! I know some of you will be BLINKS! Just kidding! I'm a fan too.





So, let's stop blabbering and get down to our business.

Okay, so what I'm planning to do today is TWO things.

1. I'll teach you how to pronounce the words (whole song) 

2. Help you to understand the meaning of the song(and of course, adding to vocabulary builder)

So, let's begin. If you haven't seen the song 'How You Like That' yet, I'll put the link down, so that you can get an idea about the song beforehand!

Finally! We completed one full song! I believe you can now read the lines using the translation I've given. It's pretty simple. But one thing, which I always tell that just reading alone will not do any help.

If you seriously want to learn Korean, to read, write, and speak, you should practice it more and more and more! So, if you don't get it in one go, read again and again. I'm sure you'll succeed! 

So, I'll be coming with another interesting topic in the next post, stay tuned, and don't forget to read the whole post completely. Also, if you have any suggestions, like both topic suggestions and content improvement suggestions, please don't hesitate to tell me. My comment box and my personal mail ID is always open and is ready to welcome you!

So until next time, 
안녕!

 Self Introduction in Korean

So, I'm back with another interesting topic(some of you may already know, but I'm sure there'll be at least a few who were expecting this topic to be online, yes?). So, in the previous chapters, we learned the question words, how to use those question words and how to answer them in Korean, also, how to ask for locations and answer those, and so many other grammar lessons. 

But this time, we are going to see, how you'll introduce yourself in the Korean language. I'll be giving some examples also.

As you know, there are a lot of professions across the world, and we all do different kinds of jobs, right? Before we start, let's look at some common professions people are into these days. Learning these words will help you better introduce yourself quickly and easily!

Professions in Korean

The Korean word for 'profession' or 'occupation' or 'job' is,직업 (jikeob). Now let's learn the names of jobs in Korean.

N.B: I have tried to include the maximum number of jobs, to my knowledge. But still, every occupation name will not be there. So, if yours is not there, or you want to know some specific name, leave a comment below!

I think I have listed almost every job role that people are into nowadays. As I said earlier, if you think yours is missing, then ping me up in the comment section below!

So now we will start making simple and basic self-introductions for a beginner, using the above roles. All you need to memorize for this simple self-introduction is your name, job, and your native place. 

Let's see how I introduce myself in Korean.

안녕하세요, 제 이름은 안잘리입니다. 저는 졸업생입니다. 저는 인도에서 왔습니다.만나서 반갑습니다.
What does this mean? It is,
Hi, my name is Anjali. I'm a graduate. I'm from India. Nice to meet you.
annyeonghaseyo, je ireumeun anjaliibnida. jeoneun joreobsaengibnida. Jeoneun indoeseo wasseubnida. mannaseo bangapseubnida.

This is pretty easy, right?

Now, following this, you can easily introduce yourself confidently in front of anyone, in Korean. But just reading these won't help. Practice making sentences on your own and follow these tips to learn basic Korean in just 3 months!

 Location in Korean

Hi,

It's been a week since we met, right? So...I was busy with some stuff...and, now I'm back with another chapter today! 

Before we start, I have to tell you that, this topic is suggested by one of my readers in the previous post, and I'm dedicating this post to that particular reader of mine. And, if you're feeling like suggesting a topic for me, or if you think I should do a post on a particular topic for you, please do leave a comment below or contact me through the contact form down there under the post! So, see you there!!!

So, let's start our chapter and I assure you that, by the end of this chapter, you'll learn to ask and answer locations in Korean. I had done a post on question words, and if you haven't read it yet, make sure to read, Okay? Yes!

Locations in Korean

location in korean, in front of in korean, right side in korean, how to tell location in korean

location in korean, in front of in korean, right side in korean, how to tell location in korean

See, when we tell the location of something, we always use either in front of, above, right side or in the back, under, left side, etc. These are the Korean terms for those location indicators. Let's see how it is used in sentences.

  • 가방이 탁자 위에 있다 - The bag is on the table (gabangi takja wie ittda)

  • 가방이 테이블 아래에 있다 - The bag is under the table (gabangi teibeul arae ittda)

  • 가방은 테이블의 오른쪽에 있다 - The bag is on the right side of the table (gabangeun teibeului oreunjjoke ittda)

  • 가방은 테이블의 왼쪽에 있다 - The bag is on the left side of the table (gabangeun teibeului oenjjoke ittda)

  • 도서관은 학교 앞에 있다 - The library is in front of the school (doseogwaneun haggyo ape ittda)

  • 운동장은 학교 뒤쪽에 있다 - The playground is at the back of the school (undongjangeun haggyo dwijjoke ittda)

Let's look at another example.

Q. 우체국이 어디에 있어요? Where is the post office? (uchegooki eodie isseoyo?)
A.  은행 옆에 있어요. It is next to the bank. (eunhaeng yeope isseoyo)


Q. 한국어 책이 어디에 있어요? Where is the Korean book? (hangookeo chaegi eodie isseoyo?)
A. 가방 안에 있어요. It is in the bag. (gabang ane isseoyo)


See, this is just a piece of cake. All you have to do is just to memorize the terms like 위, 아래, 오른쪽, 왼쪽, 앞, 뒤, 옆, 안. etc and practice by making sentences on your own. I know it is difficult, but practicing is the only way to perfection. 

Vocabulary list

  • 가방 - Bag - Gabang
  • 탁자 - Table - Takja
  • 도서관 - Library - Doseogwan
  • 학교 - School - Haggyo
  • 운동장 - Playground - Undongjang
  • 우체국 - Post Office - Uchegook
  • 은행 - Bank - Eunhaeng
  • 책 - Book - Chaeg

If you still have any doubts or you want more examples, feel free to ask me and I'll make sure to answer every question! So, see you in the next post and till then, take care, Bye!

 QUESTION WORDS IN THE KOREAN LANGUAGE- II


In the last chapter, we learned 6 question words in Korean. And, this chapter is the continuation of that. So, make sure you've read the first part too. As for the introduction, as I told in the previous part, there are mainly 12 question words in the Korean language. And, as for the most basic and important ones, we've discussed them in part one. So, read both parts completely to get a better understanding and flow.

So, in this chapter, we'll continue from where we left. Okay?

In part 1, we covered the first six, and in this part, we'll continue from the question word, 'Which'. 
reading apps

Which (어느 (eoneu) in Korean

This question word will not be very familiar to you, as it is used mainly to ask something to an unknown or unfamiliar person. So, the chances of hearing this question word in dramas or anything is rare. Of course, it is used in everyday conversation to ask any question containing 'which', but native Koreans use very informal words to replace when talking (unless it is a stranger). So, let's look at some examples.
  • 어느 나라 사람이에요? Which country are you from? (eoneu nara saramieyo?)
Like I said, it is a formal way of asking a person where he/she is from. People who are complete strangers, use this question to ask each other, to know his/her country. This same question can be asked in another way, like, 어디에서 왔어요? Where are you from? (eodieseo wasseoyo?) 

Also read:  Difference between ieyo and yeyo in Korean.reading apps


What kind of (어떤 (eotteon) in Korean

This is usually used to ask an opinion about something. It can be a person or anything for that matter! Let's look at some examples.
  • 다정은 어떤 사람입니까? What kind of person is DaJeong? (DaJeongeun eotteon saramibnikka?)
  • 어떤 게임을 좋아요? What kind of games do you like? (eotteon geimeul johayo?) 
question words in korean, korean question words, how much in korean, which in korean, how much in korean,


What kind of (무슨 museun) in Korean

If 어떤 is used to ask opinions about a living thing, then 무슨 is used to ask about a non-living thing. We don't use 무슨 to ask about people, generally!
Let's look at examples.
  • 무슨 음식을 좋아요? What kind of food do you like? (musuen eumsikeul jahayo?)
  • 무슨 소리야? What kind of noise is that? (museun soriya?) 
But the second question is usually used to express dislike. Like, if a person says something to you, and you feel it uncomfortable or offending, or you didn't get the meaning (suppose) that is when this question is typically used! But, its literal meaning is this!

Also read: What are the subject particles in Korean?


How much (얼마 (eolma) in Korean

This is pretty familiar, right? You must've heard this one in dramas and movies, like many times! Yes. This question word is mainly used to ask the price of something whenever you go to buy things. Let's practice with some examples.
  • 이게 얼마예요? How much is this? (ige eolmayeyo?)
  • 두 사람 비용은 얼마인가요? How much does it cost for two people? (doo saram piyongeun eolmaingayo?)

How long/much (얼마나 (eolmana) in Korean

I'm sure that at least many of you would've heard this sentence "내가 얼마나 기다렸는지 알아?" naega eolmana gidaryeoneunji ara? (Do you know how long I've been waiting?) Haven't you heard this? If NO is your answer, then I assume that you're not a real Kdrama fan. Even my mom knows this! I'm kidding. But yes! This is often used in dramas. So, shall we look at an example? 
  • 서울까지 얼마나 걸릴까요? How long will it take to Seoul? (seoulkkaji eolmana geollilkkayo?)
question words in korean, korean question words, how much in korean, which in korean, how much in korean,


How many (몇 (myeot) in Korean

The last one! (At least to my knowledge). This question word is used to ask how many or the number of things! This is usually used with 명(myeong) for people, 개(gae) for objects and 시 for time. For example,
  • 가족이 몇 명이에요? How many people are there in your family? (gajogi myeot myeongieyo?)
  • 책상이 몇 개예요? How many desks are there? (chaegsangi myeot gaeyeyo?)
  • 지금 몇 시예요? What time is it now? (Jigeum myeot siyeyo?)

 QUESTION WORDS IN THE KOREAN LANGUAGE

In this chapter, we'll discuss the question words in the Korean language, and how these question words in Korean are made into a complete sentence or question. We know that, in English, there are mainly 5 Ws and 1 H, that is, Where, When, What, Why, Who, and How. 

Similarly, in the Korean language also, we have some question words, to frame questions. If you're looking to read the complete information about the Korean question words, then don't skip, make sure to read everything.

One thing, I'm planning to split this lesson into two, because there are many question words, and also there are so many to explain. So, it'll be hard for you to read everything in one go, so just make sure to read the second part also.

What (뭐 (mwo)in Korean

뭐 (Mwo) in Korean means 'What'?. Even though '뭐' is commonly used by Koreans, it is actually the shortened form of 무엇. But if you want to speak like a native Korean, you can use 뭐!

Examples:

  • 뭐하고 있었어? What were you doing? (mwo-ha-go iss-eoss-eo?)
  • 이름이 뭡니까? What is your name? (ireumi mwobnikka?)
  • 뭐 먹을까요? What shall we eat? (mwo meogeulkkayo?)
See, it's just a piece of cake!

Where (어디 eodi) in Korean

The question word 'Where' in Korean is 어디 (eodi). If you want to ask 'where' in Korean, you can simply use this question word 어디. Even though it's not a complete question, Koreans can still understand that you're trying to ask where you are, or something related to 'where'. Let's look at some examples. Then it'll be easy for you.
  • 어디야? Where are you? (eodiya?)
  • 지금 어디있어요? Where are you now? (jigeum eodi-isseoyo?)
  • 어디서 왔어요? Where are you from? (eodiseo wasseoyo?)

When (언제 eonje) in Korean

The Korean word for 'When' is 언제. This question word is very common and many of you have heard it many times in the middle of almost every conversation. So, if somebody asks, 'When'? how will you answer? In most cases, this question word is used to ask things related to date, time, day, etc. So, you should know how to reply too. Sometimes this is used together with 부터 - 까지 to ask, from when and to when? Let's look at some examples. 
  • 언제 한국에 왔어요? When did you come to Korea? (eonje hanguke wasseoyo?)
  • 시험은 언제예요? When is the exam? (siheomeun eonjeyeyo?)
  • 수업은 언제예요? When is the class? (sooeobeun eonjeyeyo?)

Why (왜 wae) in Korean

The Korean word for 'Why' is 왜. You must have heard this question word in many Kdramas. The way they use this 'Wae' when they're frustrated about something is really funny, right?


Let's look at some examples!
  • 왜 공부를 안 했어? Why didn't you study? (Wae gong-bu-reul an haess-eo?)
  • 왜 전화 안 했어? Why didn't you call? (Wae jeon-hwa an haess-eo?)
  • 왜 나한테 이런 거야? Why are you doing this to me? (Wae nahante ireon geoya?

How (어떻께 eotteokke) in Korean

If you're a non-Korean Kdrama fan, then you must know how frequently you use this word in your daily life. I often use this word, from time to time, (when no one is watching) I'm just kidding! But, yes! I put this expression of being sad and say "아... 진짜... 난 어떻께 엄마?" Good thing that my mom doesn't understand Korean, but it's actually very fun doing that. 
Let's look at some examples!
  • 이제 어떻께 해야합니까? What do we do now? (ije eotteokke haeya habnikka?)
  • 어떻께 해야하지? What do we do?/ What should I do? (eotteokke haeyahaji?)

Who (누구 nugu) in Korean

Who in Korean is 누구. You can use this question word either in the beginning or in the middle of the sentences. If you just simply use 누구 without any complete sentence to ask something, Koreans will still understand you. Also, it'll sound more like a native. Let's look at some examples below
  • 누구세요? (nuguseyo?) Who are you? 
  • 너의 Bff는 누구입니까? Who is your BFF? (neoui BFF neun nuguibnikka?)
I think everything is clear now, right? This is only the first part, and the remaining question words will be discussed in the next part. So stay tuned and don't forget to practice these! Apart from these question words, if you want to make any sentences to a question, you can use, 'ㅂ니까' or make that sentence into a question, just by adding an intonation at the end.
