- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Episode 36, can you believe it? Lucas: I know, time flies. Last time we learned vegetable names. Remember 당근, 양파, 감자? Luna: Of course! 당근 주세요 I'll never forget. But today's topic sounds refreshing — drinks! Lucas: Exactly. Today we're learning how to order drinks in Korean. Very useful at cafes or restaurants. Luna: Ooh, I'm thirsty already. Let's start! Lucas: First up: the most basic drink — water. In Korean, water is 물. Luna: 물. Sounds like 'mul'. Like mul-tiply? No, that's weird. Lucas: Luna, you're trouble. But yes, 물. Now to order, you say '물 주세요' — water please. Luna: 물 주세요. 물 주세요. That's pretty easy. Lucas: Right. Try it like you're at a restaurant. Luna: 물 주세요. Lucas: Perfect! You just ordered water in Korean. Luna: Aww, that's so good. Okay, what if I want juice? Lucas: Juice is 주스. Same as English, just Korean pronunciation. 'Joo-seu'. Luna: 주스. So '주스 주세요'? Lucas: Exactly! Juice please. Luna: 주스 주세요. I love that. What about soda? Lucas: Cola is 콜라. So '콜라 주세요'. Luna: 콜라 주세요. Nice. Lucas: Now, what if someone asks you what you want to drink? They might say '뭐 마실래요?' — What do you want to drink? Luna: 뭐 마실래요? That's a mouthful. 뭐 is 'what', right? And 마시다 is 'to drink'? Lucas: You got it! So '뭐 마실래요?' is asking for your drink preference. Luna: Okay, so if someone asks me that, I can say '저는 물 마실게요' — I'll drink water? Lucas: Wow, Luna! You just made a whole sentence. '저는 물 마실게요' means 'I'll have water.' Perfect. Luna: 저는 물 마실게요. 저는 is 'I' or 'as for me', right? Lucas: Exactly. You can also just say '물 마실게요' but adding 저는 is polite. Luna: Got it. So if I want juice, I say '저는 주스 마실게요'? Lucas: Yes! Perfect. Luna: What about cola? '저는 콜라 마실게요'? Lucas: You're on a roll. Yes. Luna: Awesome. Let's practice a little scene. Like I'm the customer and you're the server. Lucas: Sounds fun. I'll ask you: 뭐 마실래요? Luna: 저는 주스 마실게요. 주스 주세요. Lucas: Great! And I'd say '여기 있습니다' — here you go. Now you try with water. Luna: 뭐 마실래요? 저는 물 마실게요. 물 주세요. Lucas: Perfect. You sound like a native speaker already. Luna: Ahh, yes! Let's do one more for cola. Lucas: Okay. 뭐 마실래요? Luna: 저는 콜라 마실게요. 콜라 주세요. Lucas: There you go! Now you can order any drink in Korean. Luna: This is so useful. I can't wait to use it. Lucas: Let's recap quickly. First phrase: 물 주세요 — water please. Luna: 물 주세요. Lucas: Second: 주스 주세요 — juice please. Luna: 주스 주세요. Lucas: Third: 콜라 주세요 — cola please. Luna: 콜라 주세요. Lucas: Fourth: 뭐 마실래요? — What do you want to drink? Luna: 뭐 마실래요? Lucas: And fifth: 저는 물 마실게요 — I'll have water. You can replace 물 with 주스 or 콜라. Luna: 저는 물 마실게요. 저는 주스 마실게요. 저는 콜라 마실게요. Lucas: Excellent. Now you're ready to order drinks in Korean.
