why'd you stop posting? you were my favorite blog

Cause it's not worth it. This blog was never for anyone but me.

So, here we are.

9/100 reasons. Tried to find some tame ones that would help y'all understand. Some of 'em make me laugh--others not so much.

Happy Learning :)

[studykorean101]

do you know what "날파리가 꼬였네" means?

날파리 - fruit fly 꼬이다 - be infested with/get twisted (this verb has many meanings) 이/가 - subject particle -었/였네 - past tense + colloquial ending (you say this to friends/ppl you're close to)

Lit. Translation: was infested with fruit flies/fruit flies occurred

Idiomatic Meaning: What you don't need is happening (not really translatable in ENG lol)

You essentially say this when something bad is happening that you don't want. Like an ex walking into the party you're at...Kind of like "look what the cat dragged in" but in an unironic way.

Hope that helps! Happy Learning :)

In Depth Body Vocab [pt. 3]

A lot of people liked PART TWO a lot! Thank you for all your kind comments and praise! PART THREE will cover the skin and necessary vocabulary underneath. Enjoy <3

*picture is of a chest (half skeleton, half muscle) and a skull (necessary vocabulary is highlighted)

뼈대 - skeleton

skeleton can also be translated as: 해골 and 골격

major differences between 뼈대, 해골, and 골격: 뼈대 and 해골 are the most similar. Sometimes 해골 can refer to only the skull (see skull for a better understanding) - both of these refer to dead skeletons. However, 해골 comes from 한자 ‘骸骨’. The word 골격 also comes from 한자 meaning 骨格 (frame, figure) or 骨骼 (skeleton).

근육 - muscle

뼈 - bone

인대 - ligament

살 - flesh (not skin, but the ‘meaty-like’ part; almost like fat)

관절 - joint

두개골 / 해골 - skull

major difference between 두개골 and 해골: both come from 한자 ( 두개골 = 頭蓋骨 // 해골 = 骸骨), however, 해골 (according to a Korean native speaker), refers to the picture of a skull. Whereas 두개골 refers to the actual, physical skull.

광대뼈 - cheekbone

아래턱뼈 - mandible (jaw)

코뼈 - nasal bone

Example Sentences:

다행히 뼈에는 이상이 없나요 - Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with the bone (the bone is alright/not broken).

우리 오빠는 축구를 하다 인대가 늘어났어요 - My brother pulled a ligament while playing soccer.

*picture is of an eye and a pair of lips with blemishes (necessary vocabulary is highlighted)

피부 - skin

여드름 - pimple / zit

기미 / 주근깨 - freckles

major difference between 기미 and 주근깨: 기미 refers to spots you get from the sun (not usually pleasant) while 주근깨 translated to actual freckles

다래끼 - sty

수염 - facial hair (this can be a mustache or beard)

애교 살 - the fatty pocket under the eyes

다크서클 - dark circles

점 - mole, spot

흉터 / 흠 - a scar, blemish

major difference between 흉터 and 흠: 흉터 refers to an actual scar made a long time ago whereas 흠 considers all types of blemishes or flaws on the skin

not to be confused with 상처 (injury/wound that JUST happened) and 멍자국 (bruise)

입슬허피스 / 입슬의 발진 - cold-sore

difference: 입슬허피스 = lip herpes VS 입슬의 발진 = lip rash

Example Sentences:

여드름을 짜다가 세균에 감염될 수도 있어요 - If you pop your pimples, you might spread germs.

저는 작녀에 얼굴에 있는 점들을 뺐어요 - I had a few moles removed.

Extra Vocab to Know:

주름(살) - wrinkles / crease

혹 - bump / lump

땀 - sweat

눈곱 - sleep (the goop in your eye when you wake up; eye boogies)

하품(하다) - sigh (to sigh)

방귀 - fart

트림(하다) - burp (to burp)

소름 - goosebumps / goose pimples

딸꾹질(하다) - hiccup (to hiccup)

I received an ask last night asking about the word for ‘throat’. You could use 목 to describe your throat but a more technical term would be 목구멍. However, this isn’t used as often. For example:

목이 아프다 - a sore throat 희주는 눈물에 목이 메였다 - tears clogged Hee-Ju’s throat

Hope that clears up some confusion!
