Koreans never use this to ask about someone.
The correct sentence would be "onul otdeyo?" (how are you today)
or simply "otdeyo". |
You should never give advice when you don't know what you're talking about. |

I liked using the word "kunyang" a lot. Dunno why, just because I guess.  |

I do find myself saying "aiiiish."
A great way to communicate frustration to the students, and it just feels good. Like I'm swearing, but not quite....
And I like "quenchana-yo" too. It's got many uses. Like when an adjumma falls over after walking blindly into your back. Or as a polite refusal.
A humble "mola-yo" does wonders with over-friendly taxi-drivers who insist on speaking to me in korean, presumedly because I pronounce Seoul-Yuk ka-juseyo oh so impressively.... |

Ugh, that reminds me of that stupid TV commercial for long-distance calling where they just keep showing flags of two different countries and saying 똑.같.다. 똑.같.다. 똑.같.다. over and over again |
Yeah, my friend was ticked off with that one. Compares wonders of other countries to Korean landmarks and says they're the same. I forget what they were comparing. |
Yep, that's the one. I found it:

No idea why someone would put it on YouTube but there you go.
They compare the Yi Sun-Shin statue at Gwanghwamun to the Statue of Liberty, lol |

| I like the word (which I take to be newish) that many Korean kids & younger adults use to express a mix of surprise & dismay or in reaction to a lame joke, etc. Not even sure its a word: sounds a bit like hurl. Tough one to get my tongue around though. |

Childish, I know......but it has stuck in my brain from hearing it 500 times per day in my first year here as a hagwon teacher. |

| I like to say, in no particular order (and generally to different people), 죽고 싶어? and 옷 벗어라!. When I really want to annoy people, I say, '왜 그래?' in a high pitched, long-drawn-out nasal drone. |
