ya i'm from vancouver and this weather is PERFECT
but once it gets into november/december it LITERALLY gets TOO COLD

and i don't hear anyone complain. it's like they only complain during the transition from summer to fall... but in the minus 10 in winter, they just deal with it. like they deal with summer. and i'm like DYING

i'm happy to see that other people have noticed this too.

my girls also say "kyopta" about every 5 minutes, and with the same voice as "chuaaa". but this of course is not seasonal. and it always just reminds me of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1gzJdWuFqY

I can't be the only one who clicked on it expecting to read about what a hot Korean girl said upon waking up from a one night stand. Wink

Koreans in general spend a hell a lot of the time talking about the weather, often to themselves.

Truly funny topic.

Since nobody has mentioned it yet, this is the price we pay for MINI SKIRT SEASON!

The sound of 추워 in the morning makes my eyes weep with anticipation for short skirts, thigh high stockings and leather boots.

Can't be long now...

추워! 추워! 추워!

(Funny how much this sounds like sneezing - can't be a coincidence?)

Korean girls logic: When it gets colder, wear shorter and shorter mini skirts and then complain its cold :roll: :roll:

Eh, no. You've written "wo" as in "low" but the sound is "eo" as in ma and pa.

Chu-weo is correct.

In an effort to not get banned, instead of calling you an idiot, I would invite you to read the The Revised Romanization of Korean (국어의 로마자 표기법). Here is the wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_Romanization_of_Korean

And if that is too much writing for you to understand, you can check out this website: http://sori.org/hangul/conv2kr.cgi?q=%C3߿%F6&m=1

Additionally, just think of the easiest example: Hagwon = 학원. If you cannot understand this, or basic Korean, I would ask that you not post on here and give other people wrong info.

if you want to brush up on your korean, there are free language classes at Sookmyung Woman's University.

im not feeling well now, waiting at the doctor's, but pm me and ill message you the info when i have some time.

Thanks for your effort though.
