That is a good one. Sort of a "talk to the hand" without the fruity hand gesture. |

I'll second that. It's my #1 most used Korean word.... mostly used while I'm driving (keeps me from saying other words that I shouldn't say.  ) |

I love saying "hajimma"...sounds so much better than the english
Also like the "daekodeon!" the kids use...but that might be local slang here in my area
And... jukelae, masilae, dizelae (sp?) |

"torai" or whatever it is meaning "mental or something like that". Call my stupid university students that. It's not as demaning as a lot of other stuff that you hear.
"wole" means often or usually
My favourite is "knee be she be peck bogi anda" |

Funny that it was the Koreans who came up with that word, even though it is possible to write that word in romaja but not in hangul.
This is off the subject, but have you noticed that "uh-huh" and "uh-uh," which in American English mean "yes" and "no," are the only words in our language which use nasal vowels?
It would be possible to write those two words in French as "en hen" and "en en," except that "uh-uh" is the only word in our language with a glottal stop, and the French system doesn't provide for glottal stops.
Come to think of it, "uh-oh" has a glottal stop too. |

This really depends on dialect.
In some parts of the States, you can hear it, e.g., "Oh no he di'n't!" or in a Cockney accent, with the glottal stop replacing the "t" sound in many words. |

What? In french en-en doe NOT sound like the English Uh-uh. Wow! That is rediculous dude. The sounds aren't even close. Stop trying to sound like you know what you are talking about. haha. Je pense que c'est le tempt de te trouver un autre passe-temps. |

Concur: the french "hein-hein" has not glottal stop, and much more class. Denistron, I'll however return your comment back to you, I didn't expect to ever see such ridiculously mangled french outside of a korean bakery. Retourne a l'ecole.
As for a nice korean word I'd gladly import 바보 in french if it did not already sound like it. |

Air-con is what the Aussies love to say. I personally hate that word. But I think I might have an emotional problem with it because of the Aussie chick I used to know that used it all the time. |

do you realize that if you say it's a gochu that means it's small/tiny and "cute"? |
Yeah I was thinking about how Americans use euphemisms such as cucumber or banana, while Koreans decided to go with.. a tiny green pepper. lol |
Koreans use pepper as a euphemism for small wang. The phrase for large one is "wang jaji," or "king *beep*." |
I didn't think Koreans had a euphemism for large wang. Of course I guess everything is relative.  |
