“Something going on between us” in KOREAN SLANG
“썸”
A very popular neologism in Korea, “썸[some]” is a grey area in the beginning of a relationship. Two people are seeing each other but it never means they are together or couple. It’s the mellow and confusing moment between two people.
We have something going on between us.
= (우리) 썸이에요.
= (우리) 썸 타는 중이에요.
= (우리) 썸 타고 있어요.
E.g.
A : 요즘 만나는 사람 있어요? Are you seeing someone these days?
B : 네, 직장에서 만나는 사람이 있어요. Yes, in work.
A : 잘 되고 있어요? Is it working well?
B : 네, 썸 타고 있어요. Yes, there’s something going on between us.

pros of having a lot of study resources: you have all the info you need and then some.
cons of having a lot of study resources: 7GB+ of material is terribly overwhelming and you don’t even know where to fucking begin so you decide to take a nap instead…
Korean Slang/Common Expressions:
This is a list of all the slang that I know and have used when speaking Korean. But this isn’t a full list of all slang in Korean. There are tons that I don’t know, but I will guarantee, that if you use these to a Korean person, they will most likely be surprised that a foreigner knows Korean slang. Without further adieu, let’s go!
Food: ♡ 일차 - first round ♡ 이차 - second round ♡ 삼차 - third round ♡ 맛점 - delicious lunch ♡ 아점 - brunch (아침 + 점심) ♡ 맥날 - mcdonalds ♡ 스벅 - starbucks ♡ 먹방 - mukbang (aka eating show)
People: ♡ 남사친 - friend who’s a guy (남자 + 사람 + 친구) ♡ 여사친 - friend who’s a girl ♡ 남친 - boyfriend (남자친구) ♡ 여친 - girlfriend ♡ 붕아빵 - two people who look alike (kind of like doppelgänger) ♡ 변태 - pervert (usually used for older men) ♡ 몸짱 - great body (direc. body best) ♡ 얼짱 - great face (direc. face best) ♡ 금사빠 - someone who falls easily ♡ 바람둥이 - player
Expressions: ♡ 짱! - amazing! ♡ 아싸! - yay! ♡ 헐 - oh my god… ♡ 대박 - awesome! ♡ 우와 / 와 - wow! ♡ 아! - ouch! ♡ 어머 - oh my
Feelings: ♡ 꿀잼 - really funny (재밌어요) ♡ 노잼 - not funny ♡ 웃프다 - funny but sad ♡ 근자감 - a lot of self confidence ♡ 멘붕 - mental breakdown ♡ 케미 - chemistry (for lovebirds)

가족 나무 - Family Tree
In Korea, there are two sides of the family (much like western culture). Although, unlike western culture, they actually go by a different name. While you still call your mother’s sister your aunt - even without specifying that she’s on your mother’s side - there are completely different names / titles to use.
가족 - family
어머니 / 엄마 - mother / mom (formal / casual)
아버지 / 아빠 - father / dad
할아버지 - grandpa
할머니 - grandma
부모 - parents
조부모 - grandparents
친척 - relatives
사촌 - cousin
형제 - brothers
자매 - sisters
형 - older brother (male)
오빠 - older brother (female)
누나 - older sister (male)
언니 - older sister (female)
동생 - younger sibling (여동생 - little sister, 남동생 - little brother)
고모 - father’s sister
이모 - mother’s sister
you can say this when ordering at a restaurant. If the woman looks old enough to be your aunt, that is.
삼천 - uncle
Other names and titles in Korean:
아저씨 - older man (can be used as uncle)
아줌마 - older woman
아가씨 - woman (not married)
총각 - man (not married)
-씨 - 희주씨 (used after a name)
선생님 (쌤) - teacher (slang)
-님 - 의사님 (used after an occupation)
선배 - older university student (used if you are in freshman / first-year uni)
여자친구 (여친) - girlfriend (slang)
남자친구 (남친) - boyfriend (slang)
여자사람친구 (여사친) - female friend (slang)
남자사람친구 (남사친) - male friend (slang)
There are…hundreds of honorific titles in Korean, and if I went through all of them this post wouldn’t be about family anymore and it would be unnecessarily long. When I finish the ‘Jobs in Korea (for foreigners)’ blog, I will add workplace honorifics. But for now, that’s all! I hope you enjoyed this lesson.
Happy Learning :)

Is ㄹ pronounced as L or R?
This is probably one of the most common questions that beginners ask when learning 한글. Just like every beginner learners, I went through this as well which is why I decided to study pronunciation rules too. I created this post to help clear up any confusion.
When ㄹ is located at the beginning of a word, it sounds more like an R.
Example: 라디오 (ra-di-o), 레슨 (re-seun), 로맨틱 (ro-man-tik)
When ㄹ is located between two vowels, it sounds like an R.
Example: 다리 (da-ri), 사랑 (sa-rang), 어렵다 (eo-ryeob-dda), 모르다 (mo-reu-da), 노력 (no-ryeok), 매력 (mae-ryeok)
When ㄹ is located at the end of a word, it’s pronounced more like an L.
Example: 딸 (ddal), 아들 (a-deul), 월 (weol), 달 (dal), 칼 (khal), 연필 (yeon-pil), 교실 (gyo-sil)
When ㄹ is followed by a consonant or followed by another ㄹ, it sounds like L.
Example: 딸기 (ddal-gi), 힘들다 (him-deul-da), 몰라 (mol-la), 살자 (sal-ja), 고릴라 (go-ril-la)
When ㄹ comes after any consonant except ㄴ, ㄹ is pronounced as N.
Example: 생리 (saeng-ni), 국립 (gung-nip), 능력 (neung-nyeok)
When ㄹ comes before or after an ㄴ, both ㄹ and ㄴ are pronounced as ㄹ.
Example: 한류 (hal-lyu), 신라 (sil-la), 신랑 (sil-lang), 달나라 (dal-la-ra)
Disclaimer: Hope this helps but remember not to rely too much on romanizations and listen to the sounds properly as well.
This is a post that I shared on Amino app and I decided to post it here as well.
