Today’s word is 삐지다. 삐지다 is a great word, and I absolutely love it! It can be translated to sulk or pout, but it’s used a lot when you’re upset about something and kind of making it obvious. I feel like pout or sulk are not overly common words in English, but Koreans use 삐지다 really often. If you’ve ever seen that “bae, you still mad?” meme, then this is pretty similar. I think a lot of Americans use the words “upset” or “angry” in these situations. It’s the same kind of upset feeling, but not necessarily angry.

Since the translation of “to pout” or “to sulk” is lacking in my opinion, here are some examples.

자기야…나 사과했잖아…아직 삐졌어? Babe…I apologize…are you still upset?

아이구 삐졌어?  Ahigoo…you mad?

A: 아까부터 왜 기분이 안 좋아 보여? Why have you looked upset since earlier?

B: 몰라. Who knows…

A: 아 왜~~ On come on, why?

B: 아까 그 여자 이쁘다고 했잖아!  그렇게 이쁘면 걔랑 사귀어! You said that girl was pretty earlier! If she’s so pretty, go date her!

A: 아이고 삐졌구나. 미안해 너가 더 이쁘지~ Ahigoo~ you were upset up about that. I’m sorry. You’re prettier!

**It’s typically used between people who are in a really close relationship, like really close friends, people who are dating, or parents and their kids.

As a side note, there is a word for someone who pouts or sulks all the time. You can call them 삐짐이.

Korean Slang

requested

So I am a little on the older side and I can’t keep up with the youths fully, but here are some slang terms you will 100% read/hear at some point.

DISCLAIMER: a lot of these are technically swears or swear-like (like af/effing) so like plz don’t use these with people you aren’t close to

개

This is probably one of the most common ones. Literally just plop this in front of literally any word to mean something along the lines of “d*mn x/f*cking x”

개행복 - happy af

개소리 - bull💩

개뿔 - ridiculous/🐂💩

개슬퍼 - f*cking sad

개재미 - funny af

존나

Similar to 개, except it can be seen as more vulgar as it comes from a word similar to d*ck. Although I know some kids that had no idea where it came from.

존, 졸, 졸라, and 조나 are all other spellings/pronunciations of it

존맛 - effing good

존잼 - funny af

존나 웃겨 - funny af

존잘생 - fine af

존나게 놀아 - play fun? Idk this doesn’t translate well. Use like yolo or it’s lit I guess?

넘

Actually not a swear. Short for 너무 use like you would for 너무

젤

Short for 제일 and functions the same

짱

The best/really good

대박

Wow/awesome (getting phased out though)

헐 / 오마이갓뜨

Omg

스타일 / 포인트

Literally style and point but Koreanized for different meanings. I don’t hear English speakers use my style that often. Point is like the focal point. “The point of the pizza is the cheese” would be a direct translation of the beginning of an argument I had yesterday. Meaning the point is the best part

Most other “slangs” I personally use are more or less just like ways to refer to people (like bae) ( 훈남 is like a super charming and endearing dude who’s also really cute, as one example) or just straight up aegyo (이뻥 is 이뻐용 which is just 예뻐요)

[scholarlysquad-blog]

hey guys!!!

so this entire past month has been extremely, extremely stressful for me because i had so many exams and i only realised how hideously unprepared i was for them on the day before the exam, which was really really awful. so in the middle of september i created a studyblr to keep myself motivated + get some helpful tips from the studyblr community on how to go abt studying for tests. the results proved to be super helpful and ive resolved to keep running this blog for as long as i can, because it really helps me stay motivated and i’ve already learned so many things from the community, despite the fact that i’ve only been here for around a month.

but anyways, i decided to create this masterpost in order to help others stay motivated + keep studying not only well but also properly i.e. not necessarily studying for exams but life in general, if that makes sense.

Phrases to.. have died for??

Ever wonder what you did in a previous life? A Korean might just tell you. Probably because of the deep background in Buddhism, the ideology of “a previous life” has become a normal part of Korean speech. Let’s take a look:

Common phrases:

“전생에 나라를 구했나” - Literally: To have saved the country in a previous life. Meaning: To be really lucky. “과학 선생님이 복권이 당첨되셔서 학교 그만 두셨데.” “와 대박. 전생에 나라를 10번은 구한듯.” “I heard the science teacher won the lottery so he quit.” “Woah, he must have saved the country at least ten times in his previous life.”

“전생에 무슨 죄를 지었나” - Literally: To have sinned in a previous life. Meaning: To be unlucky. “나 어제 여자친구 생겼다!” “헐. 네 여자친구는 전생에 무슨 죄를 지었길래 너랑 사귀냐.” “I got a girlfriend yesterday!” “Oh gosh, what sin did she commit in her previous life to end up dating you.”

“전생에 못먹은 귀신이 들렸나/붙었나” - Literally: To be possessed by a ghost who was starved (in its previous life.) Meaning: To eat unusually fast/a lot/often. “여기 삼겹살 죽인다. 진짜 맛있어.” “내말이. 전생에 못먹은 귀신이 들렸나, 왜 이렇게 끝도 없이 들어가지? 살찌게.“ “The pork belly here is to die for. It’s amazing.” “You can say that again. Am I possessed by a starved ghost, why can I just eat this forever? I’m gonna get so fat.”

These are some well established phrases, however, the use of “your previous life” doesn’t stop there. People can get creative with these.

Example:

“넌 무슨 전생에 개였냐? 술만 먹으면 개되네.” - Literally: You must have been a dog in your previous because you always are such a dog when you’re drunk. Meaning: To have bad habits come out when drunk.

Whatever you did in your previous life may affect your life, or not, but either way it’ll help you sound more fluent. Feel free to send me some of your favorites or phrases that you’ve heard. ^^

Until next time!

Polyglot Diary Ideas

I recently saw a post (sorry I don’t have your @) about what a good idea it is to keep a diary in your target language. It will help you realize what words you don’t know, you need, and want to learn! Plus it’s great practice!

So I thought I’d drop some ideas/prompts for you to try once a day, or at your own pace.

Keys

Underline words you use often, so you can later look up synonyms!

Write words you aren’t sure you’re using correctly in a different color.

Put a * next to words you’re having trouble memorizing, and put definitions of that word at the bottom of the page. 

Prompts

Introduce yourself!

Introduce your family. 

How many siblings do you have?

What are they like? (Try to use at least three adjectives!)

What do you like to do?

What are your favorite foods?

When you go to a restaurant, what do you like to order?

What year are you in school?

What subjects did you take in school?

What is your favorite season?

Why is it your favorite?

What don’t you like? 

Say something about one of your friends!  (Try to use at least three adjectives!) 

Name a memory with your friend.

What’s your favorite color/animal?

Introduce your pets!

What are they like?

Name a memory with your family!

What is your favorite thing to wear?

What is your favorite type of weather?

What is your favorite holiday?

What do you look like? 

Where do you work?

What do you do there?

What did you have for dinner last night? Who was there?

What is your favorite book/show/movie?

What’s it about?

Recite a poem or quote in your target language! 

What is your house like? (Ex: My house is small. / I have a brown couch.)

How are you feeling?

What was the last thing you read/watched?

 How was it?

What was the last thing you read/watched in your target language?

Do you have any hobbies?  (Ex: sports, knitting)

Who did you last see?

What did you guys do?

Where is the last place you went?

How was your day?

Who is your favorite celebrity? 

Describe something you saw today. 

What did you do yesterday/last week?

What do you hope to do in the future? (Ex: “There’s a concert next week..”)  

This is all I can come up with for now, but remember! You do it how you want to do it! It doesn’t have to be artsy, it doesn’t have to be long, or detailed, your handwriting doesn’t have to be pretty. My first page of a language diary was - “Hello, my name is ___, I am __ years old. My moms’ name is ___, I have __ brothers/sisters. Their names are ___.” It’s not supposed to sound sophisticated, it’s supposed to help you learn as you grow.  Happy Learning!

Useful sentence endings— ~고요, ~군요, ~나요, ~네요, ~더라고요, ~지요

We have already looked at the main formality levels—하십시오체, 해요체, and 해체—and how to end our sentences with them. There are other endings that we can use as well to add extra emotions or nuances to our speech. Today, we’ll take a look at a few common sentence endings.

~고(요)

Our first sentence ending is when you want to add more information sort of like an afterthought. It is the same ~고 that you would see in the middle of a sentence to connect two ideas. For example:

케이크를 먹고 아이스크림도 먹었어요. (I ate cake, and I ate ice cream too.)

Now, we can break this sentence down into two and give it a different feeling with -고 to end our sentence.

케이크를 먹었어요. 아이스크림도 먹었고요. (I ate cake. I ate ice cream, too.)

When written this way, the eating of the ice cream seems like a sort of afterthought or just additional information to eating cake. In the first example, both of the actions, eating cake and eating ice cream, have equal weight.

We can also use sentence-final ~고 to add on to something that someone else already said. For example:

A: 집 청소를 했어? (Did you clean the house?)

B: 응, 빨래도 다 했고. (Yes, and I did all the laundry too.)

~군(요)/구나

This sentence ending is used to express that the speaker learned something new. In 해요체 you can use ~군요 and in 해체 you can use ~군 or ~구나. In English, we might express a similar meaning with a thoughtful “Oh…” at the start of the sentence.

A: 전 요즘 일도 하고 대학원도 다녀요. (Lately I both work and attend grad school.)

B: 많이 바쁘시군요! (Oh, you’re really busy!)

~나(요)

This one is a question ending! It has a nuance of polite curiosity and closeness.

선생님: 숙제를 했나? (Teacher: Did you do your homework?)

아이: 네, 했어요! (Child: Yes, I did!)

어디서 오셨나요? (Where are you from?)

~네(요)

This form is sort of similar to ~군요 except that it has more of a feeling of surprise. It can be positive or negative surprise; both are fine.

원경 씨의 남자 친구는 정말 잘생겼네요! (Wongyeong’s boyfriend is really good-looking!)

오, 이게 맛있네. (Oh, this is delicious.)

표지만 보면 이 책이 재미있어 보이는데 읽고 보니 별로네요. (Just looking at the cover this book seems interesting, but having read it, it’s not that good.)

~더라(고요)

This sentence ending, ~더라고요 (해요체) or ~더라 (해체), is used to recollect or recount something that you personally experienced.

잠깐 나가 봤는데 날씨는  춥더라고요. (I went outside for just a minute; it’s cold out.)

TOEIC 시험을 보려고? 11월에 그 시험을 봤는데 정말 어렵더라… (You plan to take the TOEIC exam? I took it in November; it’s really hard…)

~지(요)

Our last sentence ending of the day is ~지(요)! Often shortened to 죠 when used in 해요체, this one is for confirmation of a fact. It can also be used as a tag question or for emphasis, like saying “… , right?” in English.

A: 내가 부탁한 거 가져왔어? (Did you bring the thing I asked you for?)

B: 응, 가졌지! (Yes, of course I brought it!)

Another example:

그 고양이가 귀엽죠? (That cat is cute, right?)

As always, happy studying~
