All these swear words are TOTALLY unnecessary. Unless you are watching a Korean movie or walking past a pojangmacha late at night you hardly hear them. I think the worst thing you can do in a foreign language is use their swear words. All you do is get yourself in trouble.

Rubbish, the swear words are vital. They're vital in English, and they're vital in any language. Everyone ( except extremely stuck up and uptight people ) uses swear words, as they are an integral part of expressing yourself in casual informal speech.

Even if you don't ever plan to use them, you need to know them, so that you know when someone is swearing at you!


I have highlighted the most important para.

There was an occasion when one of my students swore at me (in Korean) as we passed in the corridor. She was with a group of students so I couldn't ignore her. Unfortunately she wasn't a bad student - she was just showing off in front of her friends. [I had never had any trouble from her prior to that occasion]

Anyway, she was showing an extreme lack of respect for me as a person and for me as a teacher. If I had ignored her bad manners word would have got around and I would have had major discipline problems throughout the whole school.

So I had no choice but to 'severely reprimand' her. She was extremely embarassed when she realised that I understood what she had said. Then she apologised profusely, bowed several times and backed away from me.

Since then I never had any problems with that class and only minimal problems with other classes.

"what" depends on certain things. Yes. "What's wrong?"="Musoon ilia?", but it can also be "mwa?" or "myo?"

All pronouns are necessary. Just add "e" for possessives.

���� (museun) is used as a modifier before nouns, and ����/�� (mueot/mwo) is used as a noun.

���� ���̿���? (museun tteusieyo?) What does it mean? (lit. What meaning is it?)
�����̿���?/������? (mueosieyo?/mwoyeyo?) What is it?
�������? (mworagoyo?) What did you say?
���� �Ƽ���? (mwonji aseyo?) Do you know what it is?

You can also use ���� to mean "What am I, a...?"
���� ���� �ٺ���? (naega museun baboya?) What kind of idiot do you think I am?

Not to be confused with �, which also means "What kind of":
���� � �ٺ���? (naega eotteon baboya?) I know that I'm an idiot, but exactly what kind of idiot am I?

O-D-A is about the weirdest romanization of "where" I've ever seen...

(���) ���/ ��� ��ҿ�

eodi-e (the 'e' on the end is pronounced like 'eh' as in what Canadians are said to say too much, but without the questioning tone).(the 'eo' is pronounced like the eo in yeoman. ) After thinking about it, O-D-A doesn't seem so bad... but it's still weird.

You look stupid anyway. Congratulations, you know what p u s s y means.

I'm going to bypass the Korean, as my spelling is also terrible.

ja-jung-na, to be annoyed
shil-mang, to be dissapointed
sa-ga-ji op-nun, to be rude/no manners
shim-shim-ha, to be restless/bored
kwon-shim isso/opso, to be interested in something
so-llung so-llung, when a hush comes over the conversation/when someone tells a bad joke

I like ¥����
�ɽ��� is not bad.

What about expressions you hear more these days than few years ago,

like �� or ��

(similar to �䷷ I think)

I still want to hear a korean say some thing you can read on the subtitles on TV, like

���߻���!

or ���Ծ�!

That's Porterization. I spells ems likes I hear ems. "eodi-e" is good, but "O-D-A" is easy to remember and not very far off.

Hey man, why ya gotta be such an ass? It's always fun to learn the "dirty words" in any language.

At least if you have a sense of humor.
