Condemning Anti-Asian Violence

Friends, this post comes from a heavy heart. TW: racism, violence, violence against women, anti-asian violence, d3ath

I am going to be as blunt and honest as possible. Please understand where I am coming from. 

I am sure a majority of you are aware of the anti-Asian violence that took place earlier this week in the Atlanta Area. If not, please read the provided link that gives a basic understanding of the situation. 

When learning a language that is predominantly spoken in Asia, you cannot stand by and be ignorant when racist acts are committed against said groups of people. When you learn Korean (as well as Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Urdu, etc.), you are not just learning the language, you are learning the culture, history, customs, politics, and more.

To not learn would be ignorant. 

The Atlanta spa shootings were an act of White Supremacy. The shooter, Robert Aaron Long, is alive today because of his white privilege. I will say it again:

Those Asian women were targeted because they were Asian. 

No. Other. Reason. 

If you do not see a problem with this, here are a few things you can do:

get fucked

unfollow me

At times like this, I think of my boyfriend and his family. I think of how precious this family is and how amazing it is to be loved by them. 

My heart goes out to the families that lost a piece of that beautiful love in the shootings. 

Here’s how you can help:

educate yourself on decolonisation and white supremacy

reach out to minority groups at-risk in your community

donate to a go-fund-me/reputable organization

use your voice (no matter how big or small)

To be ignorant is to be a part of the problem.

I was jealous of @gilmorestudy’s setup, so I got myself one of those clickity-clackity keyboards.

안녕하세요! I want to know if you can please explain this to me. In korean there are many ways of saying “Thank you” for example: 감사합니다, 감사해요, 고맙습니다, 고마워요,etc. Do we use them in different situation or talking to certain people? I’m just confused why there is so many different ways to say thank you. Can you please help me thank youu!💛

Hello! I could have sworn that I answered this ask in the past, but it looks like I didn’t! The good news is, you only gave me two verbs, and two formalities of said verbs. If you would like some help on formalities + conjugation, please go here :)

감사하다 - to thank (v.)

Our first word comes from the Chinese characters (한자): 感謝 (pinyin: gǎnxiè)

Its basic formalities are as follows:

1. 감사해 2. 감사해요 3. 감사한다 4. 감사합니다

고맙다 - to be thankful (adj.)

This comes from Sino Korean, meaning that it’s native to the Korean language (and not borrowed).

Its basic formalities are as follows:

1. 고마워 2. 고마워요 3. 고맙다 4. 고맙습니다

There’s almost no contextual difference; you can use either in almost any situation. However, since 고맙다 is an adjective, you will most likely use this with your friends or in casual situations. There is a difference between feeling thankful and straight-up thanking someone. 

tl;dr: 감사하다 is borrowed from Chinese and is a verb, whereas, 고맙다 is “pure” Korean and is an adjective (and used primarily in casual situations)!

Hope that helped and that it answered your question! To be safe, use 감사하다 (it’s really the most common and safest option). Happy Learning :)
