Not all nice people have good intentions.
왠지 쓸쓸해 for some reason I feel lonely • 왠지 for some reason, somehow • 쓸쓸하다 to be lonely
너는 항상 내 곁에 있을거지 you’ll always be by my side, right? • 항상 always • 곁 side • -을 거다 future tense (거예요/거야)
또 시작이냥 there she goes again • 또 again • 시작 start • 냥 cat sound (sounds similar to “-이야” in 시작이야)
Today’s word is “귀찮다.” It’s used all the time, so you really need to master it. 귀찮다 is translated to “troublesome,” but it’s really not a good translation. It’s used to describe something that you don’t want to do. It’s more naturally translated to “I don’t feel like it” or “I’m too lazy to.”
Here are some examples.
공부하기(가) 귀찮아요. I don’t feel like studying.
세희야…불꺼 줄래? 일어나기(가) 귀찮아…Sehee…Will you turn off the light for me? I’m too lazy to get up.
필기 너무 귀찮아. 수업을 그냥 녹음할 거야. I’m too lazy to take notes. I’ll just record the class.
Here’s a translation of the little comic.
화장을 해야 하는데…귀찮네… I have to do my make up…but I don’t feel like it./I’m too lazy to.
마스크를 쓰지 모. I’ll just wear a mask.
This 지 뭐 is an interesting grammar point because it gives a rationalization or reason for something where you don’t think you need to explain yourself any further.
It can be seen in 존댓말 as 지요 뭐 or shortened to 죠 뭐. And it is seen in 반말 as 지 뭐.
Verb~지 뭐 is a weak way to indicate a need to do something because there isn’t another choice, but you don’t really mind. It’s often seen translated to “I guess…”
지하철은 너무 멀어서 버스를 타지 뭐. The subway is too far, so I’ll just take the bus.
먹을 게 없고 요리하기 귀찮아서 그냥 굶지 뭐. There is nothing to eat, and I’m too lazy to cook, so I guess I’ll just starve.
Adjective~지 뭐 is a weak way to describe something as “it’s just that way.” Or there is nothing that needs to be added to the conversation (often to explain yourself).
비싼데 명품은 원래 비싸지 뭐. It’s expensive, but designer products are originally expensive.
오래된 핸드폰인데 없는 것보다 좋지 뭐. The phone is old, but it’s better than having no phone.
It can also be used with nouns or other grammar points like 겠 or past tense 었/았. And like in my comic the “뭐” is often seen and pronounced as “모” or “머.”
I hope you enjoyed this little comic.

One of the questions I get asked the most often is “How do I make my Japanese more colloquial?” or “How do I sound more like a native?” There’s also a lot of discussion about “Textbook Japanese” versus Japanese you’ll hear while on the train, in line at the store, or out with friends.
This post is quite long and explanatory, so here is a list of what’s covered under the cut!
TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Plain form 2. Dropping particles 3. です to だ 4. Sentence ending particle の 5. 〜ています → 〜ている → 〜てる 6. て form does not always equal command 7. じゃない & じゃん 8. と to って 9. さ 10. なんか 11. なんて
