I really love the way Koreans speak. Their intonations make their language sound so cute to me. That is the biggest reason why I wanted to learn Korean. Also because one day I want to be able to watch a kdrama or a korean variety show or an interview without subtitles.
Some of my favourite words right now are:
- Kapchagi - suddenly/all of a sudden/also used when someone appears suddenly and they get scared
- Palli - Quick/Hurry
- Chon Choni - Slowly/Slow down
- Ottokae - How/What should I do?
- Saranghae - I love you
- Shiro - Hate or I hate it or a way of saying no
- Ttorai - Psycho
- Yeppuda - Pretty
- Nunmul or Nunmuri - Tears but it's literal translation is "eye water" which is so cute
- Haengbukhae - I'm happy
- Oppa - Older brother (by sister)/older male love interest (of a female)
- Noona - Older sister (by brother)/older female love interest (of a male)
- Kharabo - go out/leave
- Tusso - Forget it
- Daebak - Awesome
- Odiya - where are you?
Some of the words I've learnt fairly recently and some I knew from a while now but they are still my favourites. I have kept a note in my phone of all the words I hear and learn through kdramas. It's around 200 words now.
