| POST |
| Becky: Listen again to 재우 (Jae-Wu)'s post. |
| Jaehwi: 내년에 아이 아빠가 된다! (naenyeone a-i appaga doenda!) |
| Becky: "I'm gonna be a father next year!" |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 내년에 아이 아빠가 된다! (naenyeone a-i appaga doenda!) (Regular) 내년에 아이 아빠가 된다! (naenyeone a-i appaga doenda!) |
| Becky: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "next year." |
| Jaehwi: 내년에 (naenyeone) |
| Becky: This phrase has the word meaning "next year” and the time-marking particle. Listen again- "next year" is... |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 내년에 (naenyeone) (REGULAR) 내년에 (naenyeone) |
| Becky: Then comes the phrase - "to become a father." |
| Jaehwi: 아이 아빠가 된다! (a-i appaga doenda!) |
| Becky: Of course, you can just say.. |
| Jaehwi: 아빠가 된다 (appaga doenda) |
| Becky:.. which means "to become a father." But if you use the noun.. |
| Jaehwi: 아이 아빠 (a-i appa) |
| Becky: which literally means "the father of a child,” you can show your excitement even more. Listen again- "to become a father" is... |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 아이 아빠가 된다! (a-i appaga doenda!) (REGULAR) 아이 아빠가 된다! (a-i appaga doenda!) |
| Becky: All together, "I'll be a father next year!" |
| Jaehwi: 내년에 아이 아빠가 된다! (naenyeone a-i appaga doenda!) |
