Don't know for sure. 돈 is from the chinese word 豚, meaning pig. I can't figure out what 채 is. I asked some students and a co-worker, and none of them have heard of 돈채 and they couldn't think of anything it sounds like.
However, there are a lot of web sites about it. |

i second what qinella said: it's definitely pig.
돈육 = pork
i'm stuck on an exact definition on my own, but i'm pretty sure it's a dish rather than a body part.
figures into a lot of fried rice dishes.

I think you have the name of a restaurant. I did a couple of searches and came up with a restaurant called 돈채우리 which looks like a korean bbq pork restaurant (galbi, samgyetang etc.)
Didn't find any other likely references to it. Except that 채 can mean shredded so it could be shredded pork?
I'd go with it being the name of a restaurant though rather than a dish.
EDIT:
I found references to:
돈채피망볶음 which I think is fried (shredded?) pork with green peppers.
and
돈채버섯볶음 which would be fried (shredded?) pork with mushrooms.
So I guess it is a dish, but not a very common one. (Now I've said that I'll probably see it tomorrow..) |

I actually think the chinese character you have there for PIG is what the Japanese uses for pig.
We chinese call pig, 豬. |

Man that shredded pork with green peppers sounds niiice. Ooh gotta find it.
Btw, has anyone seen that Don Day restaurant? It's pretty popular.
The word 돈 is very interesting in itself, as it also means money, and if someone dreams about pigs, that's said to be an omen that they will have good fortunes. So 돈 Day plays on that, I think.
채... hmm what does it mean? DOGGYJI!!!!! |

Oh sorry, I should've said Hanja. It's the root character Koreans use. Why are the two different? Do you know? I don't know anything about Chinese. |

yes! 채 means shredded (or sliced?)
like 무채 김치!
so it's not about the dish or the body part, just the preparation.

Thanks.
shredded pork
I found a picture of the restaurant online also. I should have mentioned it was on the label for a triangle shaped rice cake at the family mart. -Jeff |

Your voice just arrived here..! 
Yeah, it must be shredded pork. But I don't think it's a very commonly used word.
The final exam period has come back... |

My dictionary translates that to:
재밌 America or ashes something
겠 shall
다 the musical note C
Part of the problem I have is that there seems to be lots of compound words and I don't know where each word starts and stops.

Haha! That's a riot.
Why did you look up each part individually? You know that 다 is just the standard ending for an unconjugated verb, right?

Yep. 재미있다 -> 재밌다. You can even say 재미가 있다. |
