hey,

i'm becoming friends with my neighbors... but they speak zero english. the most i've got from the ajumma is "wi-puh?" when she's pointing at my girlfriend...

anyways - they have this cute little jindo pup that they take pretty good care of - but like many korean dogs, it gets little real exercise. i want to be a good neighbor and offer to walk it now and then. i think they'd be receptive, but i can't for the life of me vocalize it with the limited korean i have.

so - can someone with skills translate this, please?

"would it be okay if i walked your dog occasionally?"

or something that would just let them know that my intentions were honorable and i wasn't gonna cook the little gaffer and eat him. hangeul is okay - i can read korean, i just have not had time to process even the most basic of grammar rules.

thanks.

juh gee, gae jom san check shi kyuh do dwehl gga yo?

juh gee - excuse me

gae - dog

jom - some

san check - walk

shi kyuh - provide

dwehl gga yo - is it ok?


This should be accurate for the most part, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

����, �� �� ��å �ðܵ� 뒐���?

might be more accurate. Where's mithridates when you need him?

Since you can read Korean, it might be better if we fully translate what you want to say and ask "�����, ���� �� � ��ų�� ���� ��å�Ϸ� ������ ���� ������ ������ �͵� �ɱ��?" I'm sure I made some mistakes, but I think they'll get the picture. Good luck

Try this:

���� ���� ����ϴµ� �������� ��å���ѵ� �˴ϱ�?

It means, "I love animals, is it OK if I take your puppy for a walk?"

It's short, sweet, and makes your intentions crystal clear.

I think it's great that you want to do that. Let us know how it works out!
