What was that saying?

Postby Bouks » May 20th, 2008 4:52 pm

In one of the past beginner lessons (I think it was "Mine and Yours"), a proverb was mentioned, something meaning "Your money is my money, and my money is my money". Could someone write it here? It seemed to use the suffix "ji" which I'm trying to understand.

This is just like a German saying: Was Meins ist, ist Meins, und was Deins ist, is aus Meins...what's mine is mine, and what's yours is also mine - heh heh :lol:

Aha, thank you. It seems simple but there's some suffixes and particles (고, 지) which I'm trying to learn about. I remember Hyunwoo said it but it was very fast.
