Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Hey Lucas, I'm in a great mood today. Lucas: Oh yeah? What's going on? Luna: I just found out I'm going to a concert this weekend. I'm so excited! Lucas: That's awesome. You know, we actually have a word for that feeling in Korean. 'Excited' is 신나요. Luna: 신나요. 신나요. Lucas: Yes. 신나요. Try it with a smile. Luna: 신나요! I love how that sounds. Lucas: It does sound cheerful. So if someone asks you 기분이 어때요? — that means 'how do you feel?' — you can answer 신나요. Luna: 기분이 어때요? How do I say 'I'm excited' as a full sentence? Lucas: Just say 저는 신나요. But in conversation, you can simply say 신나요. Luna: 신나요. Got it. So if I say 기분이 어때요? to you, you'd say 신나요. Lucas: Exactly. Let's practice that a bit. I'll ask you, and you answer. Luna: Okay. Lucas: 기분이 어때요? Luna: 신나요! Lucas: Perfect. Now, what about the opposite? When you have nothing to do and you're just... bored. Luna: Oh, I know that feeling. Bored in Korean is 심심해요, right? Lucas: Right! 심심해요. You remembered that from a past episode? Actually, we haven't covered it before. Luna: Oh, I must have heard it somewhere then. But 심심해요. Let me try: 심심해요. Lucas: Good. 심심해요. So if you're bored, you say 심심해요. Luna: What if I'm both? Like, I'm bored but also excited? Lucas: Hmm, that's a tricky combination. But let's keep it simple. Today we have 신나요 and 심심해요. Luna: Okay. So let me practice. 기분이 어때요? — 심심해요. Lucas: Yes. And if you want to say 'I'm bored' more fully, 저는 심심해요. Luna: 저는 심심해요. Lucas: Now let's do a quick scene. Imagine you're at a party. I ask you 기분이 어때요? Luna: 신나요! Lucas: And later, you're stuck at home with nothing to do. I ask you again. Luna: 심심해요. Lucas: Great. Now let's reverse. I'll answer, and you ask the question. Luna: Okay. 기분이 어때요? Lucas: 신나요. I'm excited because we're recording this podcast. Luna: Aww, that's sweet. 기분이 어때요? Lucas: 심심해요. Just kidding, I'm never bored with you. Luna: Oh, smooth. So these are really useful. Let's say them one more time each. Lucas: Sure. 신나요. Luna: 신나요. Lucas: 심심해요. Luna: 심심해요. Lucas: And the question: 기분이 어때요? Luna: 기분이 어때요? Lucas: Perfect. Now you can express how you feel in Korean. Thanks for joining us on Fexingo. Luna: Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time. Bye! Lucas: Bye!
