 |
|
There are some really cool, useful Korean words that don't match match up exactly with an English word. Sometimes, in English, we have to use an expression or 3 or 4 words to say what they do with that one word.
My example is:
퇴근 - which means, Time to go home
Which smart words do you like? |

Similar to 퇴근하다 is 출근하다 which means going to work. Similar to that is 가출하다, running away from home. 문병, visit a sick person.
A fun one is 꺼져 - get the F outa here!
입닥쳐 - shut the F up!
I kinda like 초딩, elementary student, which I've been told is 은어, secret language. |
