| Keith: Digestive… |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Minkyong: You should really check what you are taking before you actually take any medicine. |
| Keith: Well, I don’t think any indigestion medicine would be so much harm. |
| Minkyong: But you never know. Taking indigestion for any headache can’t be so good. You might be left with a headache and a stomachache. |
| Keith: Okay well instead of indigestion medicine, what’s a traditional Korean solution for headaches or stomachaches? |
| Minkyong: The most popular one is called 게보린 (geborin). |
| Keith: 게보린 (geborin). And is that a brand name for medicine? |
| Minkyong: Yeah it’s a brand name like Tylenol and Advil. |
| Keith: Okay, so 게보린 (geborin) is the Tylenol of Korea. |
| Minkyong: That’s right. |
| Keith: And they have everything from headaches to stomachaches to leg aches, eye aches, no? |
| Minkyong: Yeah probably. I think you can take it for everything. |
| Keith: Well, but if some of our listeners are in Korea and they are sick, they are hurt, oh my head hurts, what can they say to the pharmacist, hey I want some Tylenol. If they said Tylenol, would the pharmacist understand? |
| Minkyong: Yes. Tylenol is pretty common in Korea too. So if you want a Tylenol, you could just ask for 타이레놀 주세요 (tairenol juseyo). |
| Keith: Or if you want some – I don’t know if it’s traditional Korean medicine but Korean style modern medicine. |
| Minkyong: Yes. |
| Keith: You can ask for |
| Minkyong: 게보린 주세요. (geborin juseyo.) |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Keith: All right. So let’s really dig deep into these words and find out how to use some of these words in context. So what’s the first word we are going to take a look at? |
| Minkyong: 머리 (meori). |
| Keith: Head and how do we say I have a headache, my head hurts. |
| Minkyong: In Korean, we say, literally, my head hurts. So we say 머리 아파 (meori apa). |
| Keith: Okay and what’s that last word? |
| Minkyong: 아파 (apa). |
| Keith: Hurt and how do we say that more politely? |
| Minkyong: 아파요 (apayo). |
| Keith: Right. We just add on that 요 at the end. Okay so how do you say you are very sick? I am very, very sick. |
| Minkyong: 많이 아파요 (mani apayo). |
| Keith: Okay and what’s that first word? |
| Minkyong: 많이 (mani). |
| Keith: And that’s literally “a lot” or “many”; and after that, once again we have |
| Minkyong: 아파요 (apayo). |
| Keith: Hurt, a lot hurt and that’s to say, I am very sick. How about when you are hurting, when I am hurt, not sick. |
| Minkyong: It’s the same, 아파요 (apayo). |
| Keith: Right. So we can use 아파요 (apayo) for both hurting and sick. Let’s say I bump my leg into my sofa which happens pretty often to me actually, my toe. My toe gets stumped. So instead of oh, my foot is hurt, how would I say it’s hurt? |
| Minkyong: 아파요 (apayo). |
| Keith: Okay, and how about if I am actually sick like I am throwing up ahh… |
| Minkyong: 아파요 (apayo). |
| Keith: Right. We use both of them for the same thing. Okay so what’s our next word? |
| Minkyong: 약 (yak). |
| Keith: Medicine or drug. And what kind of 약 (yak) came out in this dialogue, what kind of medicine? |
| Minkyong: 소화제 (sohwaje). |
| Keith: And that’s digestive medicine. Okay, how do we say, take some medicine? |
| Minkyong: 약 먹어 (yak meogeo) or 약 먹어요 (yak meogeoyo). |
| Keith: So if you want to say, take some digestion medicine, what can we say? |
| Minkyong: 소화제 먹어. (sohwaje meogeo.) |
| Keith: Right. So instead of saying, take medicine, we are saying, eat medicine in Korean and what’s that word to eat again? |
| Minkyong: 먹어 (meogeo). |
| Keith: Right. So when we say take medicine, we are saying “eat medicine.” |
| Minkyong: 약 먹어 (yak meogeo). |
| Keith: And to be polite, just once again add on that 요 at the end. |
| Minkyong: 약 먹어요 (yak meogeoyo). |
| Keith: Okay, how about we take a look at the focus for this lesson? |
| Minkyong: 네, 넘어가요 (ne, neomeogayo). |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Minkyong: the focus of this lesson is how to say "more", 더 (deo) |
| Keith: And 더 (deo) is used in the same way as the English word "more" in a sentence. It can be used as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb, and it comes before the word that it modifies. for example, how do we say “it’s expensive”? |
| Minkyong: 비싸요 (bissayo). |
| Keith: So how do we say “it’s more expensive”? |
| Minkyong: 더 비싸요. (deo bissayo) |
| Keith: Right. So here, the word order is the same as it is in Korean, “more” and then “expensive.” Okay, can we have another sample sentence? |
| Minkyong: 더 먹어 (deo meogeo). |
| Keith: That’s literally “more eat.” There, it’s not the same, hah! The word order. |
| Minkyong: Oh! 진짜네요 (jinjjaneyo). |
| Keith: Right, but in English, it comes afterwards, eat more but in Korean, it always comes before the adjective or the verb. So pretty easy to remember. All you’ve got to do is put it in front of what you are modifying and then there you go. So how about another sample sentence? How do you say, “do you have more of this?” |
| Minkyong: 이거 더 있어? (igeo deo isseo?) |
| Keith: And how did it come out in this dialogue? |
| Minkyong: 더 아파 (deo apa). |
| Keith: It hurts more but once again that more 더 (deo) is coming before |
| Minkyong: 아파 (apa). |
| Keith: So it hurts more |
| Minkyong: 더 아파 (deo apa). |
| Keith: How did it come out in this dialogue? |
| Minkyong: 더? 음… 약 더 먹어. (deo? eum... yak deo meogeo.) |
| Keith: “More? hmm.. take more medicine.” And once again, that’s literally “eat more medicine.” In Korean, we say eat medicine instead of take medicine. Okay, before we wrap up, can you give us some more examples? |
| Minkyong: 더 예뻐요. (deo yeppeoyo.) |
| Keith: “It’s prettier,” but literally, “it’s more pretty.” |
| Minkyong: Or, KoreanClass101 더 듣고 싶어요 (deo deutgo sipeoyo). |
| Keith: I want to listen to KoreanClass101.com more! And ain’t that a fact? |
Outro |
| Keith: Okay! so that just about does it for this lesson. Thanks for listening. |
| Minkyong: 안녕히 계세요. (annyeonghi gyeseyo.) |
| Keith: Bye-bye. |
