| 여러분, 안녕하세요? 에이미에요. Hi, everybody! I’m Amy. |
| Welcome back to KoreanClass101.com’s 삼분 한국어, the fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn Korean. |
| In the last lesson the last lesson, we covered to ask to take a picture, 사진 좀 찍어주시겠어요?, "Can you please take my picture?" Today we are going to learn what to say when you don't know what something is called in Korean. |
| Because of the tough Korean education system, all Koreans at least know some English. |
| So if you want to know how to say a certain word in Korean, you can there's a good chance you’ll be able to ask them using the English word. |
| Lines in red are cut: |
| So say 한국어로 어떻게 읽어요? |
| which means, |
| "How do you say it in Korean?" |
| 한국어로 means "In Korean." |
| 어떻게 means "how." |
| ~라고 말해요 means “say...” |
| And 읽어요 means "read." |
| [slowly] 한국어로 어떻게 읽어요? |
| Just put the word you want to ask about in the middle, after 한국어로. |
| 한국어로 "apple" 어떻게 말해요? |
| [slow] 한국어로 "apple" 어떻게 말해요? |
| Your Korean friend would respond, |
| 사과라고 말해요. |
| 사과 is the Korean word for apple, and |
| ~라고 말해요 means “We say...”, |
| 사과라고 말해요. |
| how easy is that? |
| If your Korean friend doesn’t understand the English, you will have to draw a picture or simply point at it and say |
| 이거 한국어로 어떻게 말해요? |
| "How do you say this in Korean?" |
| 이거 is ‘this’ |
| [slowly] 이거 한국어로 어떻게 말해요? |
| What if you hear a Korean word but don’t know the meaning? |
| 사과"는 무슨 뜻이에요? |
| You know that 사과 is ‘apple’ |
| 무슨 뜻 무슨 뜻이에요? means "what does it mean" |
| [slowly] "사과"는 무슨 뜻이에요? |
| If the other person knows the English, he'll answer, |
| "Apple"이라는 뜻이에요. |
| It means apple! |
| Now it’s time for Amy’s insight. |
| Some Koreans talk fast and you might not catch it in the first time. So, here’s how to ask |
| “Please speak a little more slowly.” |
| 좀 더 천천히 말해 주세요. |
| 좀 더 “ a little more” |
| 천천히 is “slowly.” |
| [slowly] 좀 더 천천히 말해 주세요 |
| In the next lesson, we’ll learn what to do when we can’t read or pronounce something in Korean. |
| So don’t miss our next 삼분 한국어 lesson! |
| 다음에 또 만나요! |
