Latest / Learn Korean with Fexingo / Korean Body Parts - Neck and Shoulders Review
Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready to pick up where we left off last time? Luna: Yeah! We were talking about neck and shoulders, right? 목 and 어깨. Lucas: Exactly. 목 means neck, and 어깨 is shoulder. Let's start with a quick review. Luna: Good idea. So 목이 뻐근해요 means 'my neck is stiff'. Lucas: Perfect. And 어깨를 돌리다 is 'to roll your shoulders'. You nailed that last time. Luna: Oh, that one was fun. 어깨를 돌리다. Rolling your shoulders feels good after sitting at a desk. Lucas: Totally. Today I thought we could add a couple more useful phrases: 목을 돌리다 — 'to turn your head', and 어깨가 뻐근해요 — 'my shoulders are stiff'. Luna: Ohh, 목을 돌리다. So if I'm looking around, I'm turning my neck. Lucas: Right. 목을 돌리다. Listen again: 목을 돌리다. 목을 돌리세요 — 'please turn your head'. Luna: 목을 돌리세요. Got it. And 어깨가 뻐근해요 is like, 'my shoulders are stiff'? Lucas: Yes. 어깨가 뻐근해요. It's common after a long day. Let's practice them together. Luna: Okay. So if I want to say 'I need to turn my head', it's 목을 돌려야 해요? Lucas: Exactly! You're using the grammar from earlier episodes. Very natural. Luna: And 'my shoulders are stiff' — 어깨가 뻐근해요. That's a handy one at the end of a workday. Lucas: For sure. Let's do a quick scene. Imagine you're at the doctor's office and they say, '목을 돌리세요.' What do you do? Luna: I turn my head! Like this — 목을 돌리다. Lucas: Perfect. And if they say '어깨를 돌리세요'? Luna: Roll my shoulders. 어깨를 돌리다. Easy. Lucas: You're doing great. Now, let's put them in a longer sentence. '아침에 일어나서 목을 돌리고 어깨를 돌려요.' That means 'In the morning, after waking up, I turn my head and roll my shoulders.' Luna: 아침에 일어나서 목을 돌리고 어깨를 돌려요. That's a nice morning routine. Lucas: Yeah, it's good to stretch. And if you're feeling stiff, you can say '목이 뻐근해요' or '어깨가 뻐근해요'. Luna: Right. 목이 뻐근해요 and 어깨가 뻐근해요. I think I'll use those a lot. Lucas: Me too. You know, if Fexingo has been helping you learn Korean and you want to support us so we can keep making episodes like this, you can do that at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Luna: Yeah, it really helps. Every little bit goes toward keeping the show ad-free and focused on teaching. Lucas: Absolutely. Okay, back to neck and shoulders. Let's practice one more time: 목을 돌리다. Luna: 목을 돌리다. Lucas: 어깨를 돌리다. Luna: 어깨를 돌리다. Lucas: And if your neck is stiff: 목이 뻐근해요. Luna: 목이 뻐근해요. And for shoulders: 어깨가 뻐근해요. Lucas: Perfect. Try saying 'My shoulders are stiff from working' in Korean. Luna: Umm... 일을 해서 어깨가 뻐근해요? Lucas: Yes! That's exactly right. 일을 해서 어깨가 뻐근해요. Luna: Oh, I love that. It feels so useful. Lucas: It is. Let's end with a quick recap: we have 목, 어깨, 목을 돌리다, 어깨를 돌리다, 목이 뻐근해요, and 어깨가 뻐근해요. Luna: That's six great phrases. I'll practice turning my neck and rolling my shoulders while saying them. Lucas: That's a great study method. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time. 안녕! Luna: 안녕! Take care, everyone.
