No, I wanted her to stand up (get up) out of her chair.

I believe someone tried to correct me with the wrong answer when I wasn't wrong in the first place.


Correct. Erona is the way to tell someone, in a very rude way, to stand up.
Sora doesn't really make any sense. That's like yelling "YOU ARE STANDING!" ���� and �Ͼ�� have slightly different meanings. I'm no expert, but I did confirm this with the KT to my right.

One means the action of stand, the other means the condition of standing. Just a fyi.

When someone told you that ERONA means "Come Here", they were thinking of �̸���, perhaps.

STAND UP!!! (EEERROONNNAAAAHH!!!!)

This doesn't mean stand up...
It means come this way...

Stand Up impolitely is ���� (SOORRAAHH!!!)


By the way I understand what you mean...maybe once a year for me but when i do you fell pretty dumb afterwards...


That's funny, Derrick I thought you knew Korean. Angry/yelling who really cares when it is a rare happening and deserved/understandable. Where you made a mistake was speaking/yelling in Korean, whether what you said was correct or not doesn't mean much(except jokes about your Korean language skills), but they would have remembered whatever English word you said/yelled.

Go to your thesaurus and next time this happens yell a word similiar to "sit down/come this way/stand up" so that they might learn something(Vocabulary). You can say it is your new but seldom used style of teaching. When you speak/yell Korean in class you can't justify anything.

Not to make you feel any worse but the Koreans(students/co-teachers/Wonjang) might call it losing face not losing cool!



Ha, well, you can see I was wrongly corrected when I wasn't incorrect.

On that note, I don't know a ton of Korean, but hope to remedy that this Fall and Winter.

eee-ruhn-aah = GET UP! or STAND UP! For example, GET UP S*$THEAD! (�˴밡�� �Ͼ!)

suh-rah = STOP! For instance, "THIEF(male)! STOP!" (���ϳ�! ����!)

ihl-eee-waah = COME HERE! As in, "S*$T-DOG, COME HERE!" (�˰� �̸���!)

�̤� ������ �ؤ��� �� �椧.
...Sorry...All are good and rude. Embarassed

Forgot to add, I usually kick 'em out, too. Or, I sometimes completely ignore 'em, especially when it's a little clique of princesses who are being especially annoying.

After telling him twice to put it away, that you don't pull out a frukin' game at the start of class, I just swept all the pog pieces onto the floor.

"Are we in English class or stupid class?"

That's funny. Very Happy

I think they tend to get a little shocked when foreign monkey forgets his place.
