Yes, it's Konglish. In Korean they say "��?" in response to being called on in class. I think it's cute, too, but try to encourage them to say "what?" Saying "why?" is just one more bad habit to break.  |
i for one would advise against teaching kids to say, "what" when called upon. it sounds rude. |
True that. It's probably equally rude in Korean to answer your teacher that way. |
agree... good call ody..
'yes' is the best answer there.. |

The sheer amount of misinformation people claim as correct on this forum is staggering. People confirming things is the best safeguard is use here. |
I would assume someone who's been married to a Korean for years would have a more valid insight concerning this than someone who is just basing their answer on guess work and hearsay. Wouldn't you ? It's the equivilent of a Mathmatics professor explaining a complex formula and then having a second grader agree with the theory. Not particularly useful, helpful or often overly accurate. |
Beware the Troll
To "troll" means to allure, to fish, to entice or to bait. An internet troll is someone who fishes for people's confidence and, once found, exploits it. Whilst the vast majority of internet users are bona fide, there are undoubtedly some trolls out there.
Q: How much damage can an internet troll achieve? Pick one or more of the following answers:
1. None
2. Cause minor irritation to some people
3. Cause major upset to some people
4. Obtain a small amount of money
5. Obtain a large amount of money
6. Obtain millions of dollars |
