| POST |
| Becky: Listen again to Jaewu's post. |
| Jaehwi: 올해엔 제발 좀! (olhae-en jebal jom!) |
| Becky: "PLEASE win this year!" |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 올해엔 제발 좀! (olhae-en jebal jom!) (Regular) 올해엔 제발 좀! (olhae-en jebal jom!) |
| Becky: Let's break this down. First is an phrase meaning "this year." |
| Jaehwi: 올해엔 (holae-en) |
| Becky: In spoken Korean, people shorten particles with two syllables. So, for example, the particle.. |
| Jaehwi: 엔. |
| Becky: Should actually be pronounced.. |
| Jaehwi: 에는 |
| Becky:.. as in |
| Jaehwi: 올해에는, |
| Becky: But for spoken Korean or on social media, it sounds more natural to say.. |
| Jaehwi: 올해엔 |
| Becky:.. and use the particle in a shortened form. Listen again. "This Year" is... |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 올해엔 (holae-en) (REGULAR) 올해엔 (holae-en) |
| Becky: Then comes the phrase - "please!." |
| Jaehwi: 제발 좀! (jebal jom!) |
| Becky: Here, we have the word.. |
| Jaehwi: 제발 |
| Becky: By itself, it means "please", but if you add the adverb.. |
| Jaehwi: 좀 |
| Becky:.. meaning "more", it emphasizes that you really want something to happen. Listen again. "Please!" is... |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 제발 좀! (jebal jom!) (REGULAR) 제발 좀! (jebal jom!) |
| Becky: All together, "PLEASE win this year!" or literally “Please, in this year.” |
| Jaehwi: 올해엔 제발 좀! (olhae-en jebal jom!) |
