The literal translation, “Even if you know the way, ask again,” suggests that you should never be over confident and assume you know everything about anything because there are always unexpected or unknown details. The English equivalent is “Measure twice, cut once.”

How to say “Wazzup” in Korean!

‘Wazzup’ would be '모함?' in Korean!

What’s up? is a conversation starter in English and '뭐 해?' would be the correspondant expression in Korean.

Same as in any language, there’s a chat language in Korean that ignores spelling and abbreviates everything.

모 is abbreviation of 뭐 since it sounds similar but needs one less vowl to write.

~함 is noun form of the verb '하다'

and Koreans use this form since it has a playful nuance if you say this in this way in chat language. 

“뭐 해?" is the grammatical correct version of “모함?"

Very exciting announcement!

If there’s anything you know about me, it’s that I love language. I love learning it and I love sharing the adventure with others. And a long time ago, I set myself a challenge - to learn a basic understanding of as many languages as possible.

Which is why I have decided to start a new blog @bitesizelanguage

This blog’s purpose is not to become fluent in every language, but rather to gain a basic understanding of as many languages as possible. This could range from Italian to Mandarin.

You can choose how much or how little you’d like to learn. It’s completely up to you! If you just want to learn a few basic phrases, that’s great - or if you want to delve into a particular language more, that’s also fantastic!

The main goal is to broaden our understanding, and appreciate language so that, preferably, we can hold a conversation and talk to people from all around the globe.

A majority of languages featured, I have previously studied to some small degree, but desperately need to pick up again. Some languages will be as fresh to me as they will be to you. So as I venture into this challenge, I’d love to have you there to join in, too! There won’t be any particular order to the languages featured.

Let’s get a conversation started. This blog is about all of us working together.

If you have any advice or tips, or something you’d like to share about any language. Submissions are more than welcome! In fact, the more, the merrier! Although, since it might be about a language I or an admin have no prior knowledge of - please ensure that the information is accurate! Any submissions will be tagged with ‘contributor post’.

If you prove to be a heavy contributor - it’s a possibility that I will open the blog up for others to help run and organise it.

So, let’s get started! And spread the word :3
