| POST |
| Becky: Listen again to 소라 (Sora)'s post. |
| Jaehwi: 피곤해 죽겠다.. (pigonae jukketta..) |
| Becky: "I'm tired to death." |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 피곤해 죽겠다.. (pigonae jukketta..) (Regular) 피곤해 죽겠다.. (pigonae jukketta..) |
| Becky: Let's break this down. First is a phrase meaning "because I'm tired." |
| Jaehwi: 피곤해 (pigonnae) |
| Becky: If it's written Korean, it should be.. |
| Jaehwi: 피곤해서 |
| Becky: using the particle.. |
| Jaehwi: 해서.. |
| Becky: which means "because of” or “because.” But on social media, you can use the spoken Korean, which comes with the shortened form of the particle, and say.. |
| Jaehwi: 피곤해. |
| Becky: Listen again."Because I'm tired" is... |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 피곤해 (pigonnae) (REGULAR) 피곤해 (pigonnae) |
| Becky: Then comes the phrase - "I'll die.." |
| Jaehwi: 죽겠다 (jukketta) |
| Becky: You can use the verb.. |
| Jaehwi: 죽겠다 |
| Becky: ..to emphasize how you feel. It literally means "I will die" but Korean people use it just to say "I'm very tired" or "I'm very happy." Even when they say "I'm very happy," they use.. |
| Jaehwi: 좋아 죽겠다 |
| Becky: ..which literally means "I'll die because of the happiness.” Listen again. "I’ll die." is... |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 죽겠다 (jukketta) (REGULAR) 죽겠다 (jukketta) |
| Becky: All together, "I'm tired to death." |
| Jaehwi: 피곤해 죽겠다.. (pigonae jukketta..) |
