- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I hope you're feeling good today. Luna: I am! But you know what? I've been sitting at my desk too long, and my back is killing me. Lucas: Oh that's perfect — because today we're learning words for body parts: stomach and back. Luna: Ooh, very timely. Okay, hit me with the first one. Lucas: First, stomach. In Korean, it's 배. Luna: 배. Lucas: Good. Now a useful phrase: 배가 아파요 — 'my stomach hurts'. Luna: 배가 아파요. So 배 is stomach, and 아파요 means hurts. Lucas: Exactly. Let's say it together: 배가 아파요. Luna: 배가 아파요. Lucas: Now the next word: back. In Korean, it's 등. Luna: 등. Lucas: And a common phrase: 등이 뻐근해요 — 'my back is stiff'. Luna: 등이 뻐근해요. 뻐근해요 means stiff or sore, right? Lucas: That's it. So if you've been working at a desk all day, you can say 등이 뻐근해요. Luna: 등이 뻐근해요. Yeah, that's me right now. Lucas: Let's practice a mini conversation. I'll ask: 어디가 아파요? — 'Where does it hurt?'. Luna: Okay, I'll say 배가 아파요. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's swap: I'll say 배가 아파요, and you ask 어디가 아파요? Luna: 어디가 아파요? Lucas: 등이 뻐근해요. Luna: Nice. So 배 and 등, two very useful words.
