- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo! I'm Lucas, and with me is Luna. Luna: Hi everyone! I'm so excited for today's episode.

These come up all the time. Luna: Oh, I definitely know about being tired. After a long day, I just want to crash. Lucas: Exactly. So first, let's learn how to say 'I'm bored' in Korean. It's 심심해요. Luna: 심심해요. That sounds kind of cute. Lucas: It does. 심심해요. Try it, Luna. Luna: 심심해요. 심심해요. Like when I have nothing to do. Lucas: Perfect. And if you're bored because something is dull, you can say 지루해요. Luna: 지루해요. That's a bit different? Lucas: Yes. 심심해요 is more like 'I have nothing to do', while 지루해요 is 'this is boring'. For example, a long lecture might be 지루해요. Luna: Right. So 'the movie is boring' would be... 영화가 지루해요? Lucas: Exactly! Great connection. Now, for tiredness. The basic word is 피곤해요. Luna: 피곤해요. That's a common one, right? Lucas: Very common. You can use it after work or exercise. 피곤해요. Say it, Luna. Luna: 피곤해요. I feel like I say this a lot after my morning run. Lucas: And if you're exhausted from hard work, you can say 힘들어요. It means 'it's hard' or 'I'm exhausted'. Luna: 힘들어요. That sounds serious. Lucas: It can be. Like after a tough day. 힘들어요. Also, if you want to say 'I want to rest', it's 쉬고 싶어요. Luna: Oh, that's useful. 쉬고 싶어요. So I can say 'I'm tired, I want to rest'. Lucas: Exactly. Let's practice a short dialogue. Imagine you're with a friend after a long walk. Luna: Okay, I'll start. 'I'm tired.' 피곤해요. Lucas: And I reply, 'Me too. I want to rest.' 저도요. 쉬고 싶어요. Luna: That's so natural. Let me try the whole thing: 피곤해요. 저도요. 쉬고 싶어요. Lucas: Perfect! Now, let's talk about boredom. Imagine you're at home on a rainy day. Luna: I'm bored. 심심해요. This book is boring. 이 책은 지루해요.
