No regrets...? and other questions

[Eden]

I came across this phrase: 후회는 없다 in my internet travels, which I translated to mean "No regrets." I was wondering if I was correct in my translation?

also, i am having difficulty translating this phrase:
남어질 수 있어, 그러면

Something about flying?

Edit: So as to not clutter up the boards, i'll post any new questions i have in a post on this thread.

i am not sure about your first inquiry....

but your second sentence isn't quite correct. let me try to help ^^ i'm pretty sure it should be 넘어질 수 있어, 그러면 (남어지다 isn't a word, i don't think - if it was, it would be 남아지다) but it isn't a complete sentence, so i couldn't tell you exactly what it means without context.

넘어질 수 있어 means (i/he/she/you/it) can fall down - 넘어지다 means to fall down - ㄹ/를 수 있다 means the possibility exists - and 그러면 means "if that's the case" or "if it is". so literally, it says "(it) can fall down, if that's the case.."

if you tell me the context i might be able to give you a better idea (:

Yes, that is correct. The ending that it's using is a plain declaration, as opposed to a specific politeness level, so it stands alone as a statement or motto.

후회 is a word that I learnt through watching drama ^^. They will often say that they don't regret what they did or that they regret what they did.

oh yeah, i meant 넘어질 heh, i must've hit the ᅡkey thinking it was the ᅥkey ^___^;;

There wasn't a context unfortunately, it was just kind of a floating fragment O.o;

그러면 can be contraction of 그리하면, meaning 'if you do so'.

You can fall down if you do so.

deos anyone know what 이뿐 means? I keep getting weird, mixed translations.

1. A short for 이것 뿐 which means "only this"

2. A colloquial miswrite of 예쁘다 -> 예쁜 (이쁘다 -> 이쁜) : to be pretty

So if someone wrote this referring to a person, would the second be more likely? If they intended it to be "only this" when they are referring to a person, would it take on a different meaning?

I think you are right.
Many peoples write wrongly as 이뿌다 on purpose in order to be kinda cute.
And the RIGHT 1st. one is not supposed to be used as referring to a person.

I was wondering how i would conjugate the following phrases into intimate language?

무슨 뜻이에요

천천히 말해 주세요

더 자연스러운 표현은 뭐예요?
and
적어 주세요 (would this be just "적어"?)

thanks for the help =) i have a couple more questions...

if i wanted to say, I'm angry at _____. would I say "_____한태 화났어." ? ( my spelling is probably off) such as ' I am angry at myself' would be '나한태 화났어.'?

Also, how would i show possession in a sentence, such as 'This is Eden's notebook' or 'This is Helen's dad.'?

Yes, you can say like that.
___한테 화났어 is the right one though.

Also, how would i show possession in a sentence, such as 'This is Eden's notebook' or 'This is Helen's dad.'?

You could use '의' in general.

This is Eden's notebook.
> 이것은 에덴의 노트북이에요.

This is Helen's dad.
> 이 분은 헬렌의 아버지예요.

However, there are several ways showing possession in colloquial speaking.

This is Eden's notebook.
> 이건 에덴 노트북이에요. (to omit possessive particle)
> 이 노트북은 에덴꺼. (에덴의 것 originally)

This is Helen's dad.
> 이 분은 헬렌 아버지예요. (same with above; to omit)
> 이 분은 헬렌네 아버지예요. (very colloquial)


Hope this helps.

I'm trying to translate a few things:

이제 더 잃을것도 없다
Does this mean something roughly along the lines of "I just lost something that doesn't exsist"? I know 이제 means now, 더 means much or a lot, and 없다 means to not exist, but i'm not quite sure how to translate 잃을것도

also, what does 항상 웃어요 후훗 mean? i know 항상 is 'always' but i don't understand the other 2 words. is 웃어요 something about laughing?
