Common expression used when tweeting - part 2

Here's some more common expression idols/koreans tend to use when tweeting~ ^___________^


1. 고고씽 (go go ssing) means "Let's Go!" or "Let's do it!" in korean. It's a new word that was created by the younger generation (so you wont find it in you dictionary ^^)

2. You've worked hard: Casual = 수고했어요 (soo go haet ser yo)  Polite = 수고하셨습니다 (soo go ha syeot sim ni da)

3. Have you heard koreans saying meeee rroong to eachother? 메롱 (me rong) is the sound koreans use to tease by sticking their tongues out (kinda like out ner ner)



Thats all for today ^^ hope you've enjoyed~~ 

Random Korean word of the day

Tired
Casual = 피곤해 (pi goon hae)
Polite = 피곤해요 (pi goon hae yo)
Talking to yourself = 피곤하다 (pi goon ha da)**


**This is means your just thinking out loud and not talking to anyone in particular. Example, i can be walking by myself and im like "ah.. im tired"

Common words Idols use when tweeting - Part 2

I'm back with part 2 of common words idols tend to use when tweeting ^^ Words regarding photos~~ ^^


 1. Selca 셀카 (Selca comes from the words Self camera.)

2. Two Shot 투샷 (Which just means a photo of 2 people)

3. Three Shot 쓰리샷 ( and the list goes on ^^)
4. Another word that you might want to know is 도찰. It means a photo is taken secretly or unexpectedly.  

5. Proof shot 인증 (This just means that the photo is proof of what they were saying is true)


Lesson 3 - Syllable ~ Final closure (Pronouncing the final consonant)

Hey guys~ i hope your able to memorise the Korean Alphabet by now~ or atleast half of it ^^ 
NOW this is where learning Korean gets harder~ ^^ ready? ㅋㅋㅋ


This lesson is on the Pronouncation/Sounds of each final Consonant
So what the chart above means is:
When a character/syllable ends in a ㅂ, you will pronouce it as a ㅂ. 
But when a character/syllable ends in a ㅍ, you will pronounce it as a ㅂ
Confusing? Don't worry, you'll get there! ^^
Some more examples



 Don't get this confused with the special consonants  g/k*   and   r/l*
(In lesson 2)
Recap: Its is WRITTEN as a G if the consonant is first (or on top) and it is WRITTEN as a K is the consonant is last (or on the bottom) etc.


But with the other consonants mentioned in this lesson, it is still WRITTEN the same but pronounced differently.


Now, don't worry if you didn't understand this lesson, it's not something you'll need to memorise just yet (trust me) ^^
As long as you know why sometimes its written one way BUT pronounced another way then that's fine~ ^^


**Have you ever noticed how Koreans freaks out when they need to play a dictation game? It's not because they can't spell haha Its because (as you just learnt) Speaking and Writing Korean is two different things. 
Example: I can say to you "Hey buy me a ggot (flower)" but if i was going to write it to you, ill write "Hey buy me a ggoch (flower)"


But i might forget that flower is written as 'ggoch 꽃' and write it as 'ggot 꽅' by mistake, thats when ill have a spelling mistake.
Make sense? LOL, dun worry if it didnt ^^

Common expression used when tweeting

So someone is tweeting and all you see is the same word over and over again? Think they made a typing mistake? LOL korean has alot of slang for expressions~ Heres some examples below.


1. Most popular word you'll see when a korean tweet is ㅋㅋㅋ. What does it mean? It just means that the person is laughing (same as our 'lol') ㅋ in korean has the sound 'k' and peope use it when they want to show that they are laughing.

 2. And similarly ㅎㅎㅎ is also used very often~ ㅎ has a 'h' sound, This is kinda like 'hehehe'
Well now when you see ㅎㅎㅎ and ㅋㅋㅋ just imagine him/her smiling ^^


3. 흑흑 (heuk heuk) Is the korean sound for crying, so its the same as our *sobs* or *cries*
4. Can you guess what ㅇㅋ is? Just sound it out~ ㅇㅋ stands for OK ^^

5. Sometimes you'll see ㅇㅇ Which means 'Yes' . You're probably confused and wondering why two circle means yes, ㅇㅇ is from 응 which has the sound of 'eung' . Like when your nodding your head and going eung eung (agreeing with someone). So 응 means yes, and Korean tweets ㅇㅇfor a shorter way.


So thats 5 useful expression you can memorise ^^
