IN QUOI YAH

Postby dartmom » August 19th, 2008 9:49 pm

I have been hearing a phrase over and over in the kdramas, but it hasn't been covered anywhere in my lessons yet. But I'm dying to know. Usually at the end of a sentence, and sounds like IN QUOI YAH (if you say that like English)

HELP ME PLEASE.

Hey dartmom,

Sorry, I can't really tell what that means... :P Would you provide some context? a couple of examples of where that comes out?

I think it must be 인거야 or 일꺼야

I'm with you...

or maybe even "니가 뭐하는 거야????" :lol:

dartmom,

if that's the case, then it is just the intimate version of " ~것 입니다" identifying some object or thing. In the sentence above, "What (the hell) are you doing?"

That's my best guess.. maybe you can find a clip on Youtube. Otherwise it's a bit hard to guess at what you're hearing.
