Sorry to scare you . I dont actually think this is going to happen but according to these crackheads we're about to be replaced by robots. Did anybody see this in the korea times about three weeks ago??

Koreans would prefer fembots, I'll bet.

Then again, if they look like Liz Hurley, I'm going back to school.

This is quite possibly the dumbest idea I have ever heard out of this country. I personally hope they try it and fail (as they will) and become an object of ridicule.

Sounds fun, Can't wait to see the robots yelling 조용히 하라고 했잖아! when the kids are running riot. Or when they, say, turn the robot off. Or give it a virus.

Eh, I'm alright with that. The article says I got 10-15 years of steady robot assisted employment, after which I can take my savings over to Thailand, Vietnam or China. Everybody wins.

It's more likely to develop a virus from all the illogical requests the Won-Jang-Nims are famous for making.

Nice to finally converse with you, TUM. I've been perusing this site for months, with no ability to use it myself because no admins were letting me for some reason. I feel like you're part of my family. *back on topic*

Small fingers up my tin-can ass does not compute!

I hope the bottom does fall out of this industry. Maybe it would give me the impetus to get off my lazy ass and find a real job.*

*ESL folk who are in this job for life shouldn't take this the wrong way. They probably know what I'm talking about more than most.

Good luck with that, racist ajosshis. I'm sure the robot-taught lessons will be really effective. Rolling Eyes

You give a doctoral dissertation every time you want your kids to sit down, shut up, and do what they're told? How's that going for you?

I'll be honest I had no idea what that meant, I was just told it will make people be quiet if you yell it... how about 조용히 해?

Although a dissertation isn't too bad an idea *rubs chin*

조용히 하세요! = Be quiet! (Polite version)
조용히 해! = Be quiet! (Used with younger people)

You can add 자 to get their attention, as in,

자, 조용히 하세요! = Hey, be quiet! (Polite version)
자, 조용히 해! = Hey, be quiet! (Used with younger people)

Or at a pinch when the above have failed you can just yell, out in a pissed off manner and raised voice,

조용! = Quiet!

What you typed originally, 조용히 하라고 했잖아!, is correct.....it basically is a pissed off way to say "I told you to be quiet", but it's more difficult to pronounce and the kids might not understand you.

Ah, great. *noted in notebook*

Probably be too scared to use any of them anyway.

Back on topic, boys.
