Latest / Learn Korean with Fexingo / Korean Emotions Scared & Surprised
Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo! I'm Lucas, and with me is Luna. Luna: Hey everyone! Ready for more Korean? I'm excited—오늘 뭐 배워요? Lucas: Today we're talking about two more emotions: scared and surprised. Remember last episode we learned 신나요 and 심심해요? Luna: Oh yeah! 신나요 means excited, and 심심해요 means bored. Good times. Lucas: Now let's add 무서워요—scared. Say it with me: 무서워요. Luna: 무서워요. Lucas: Good. 무서워요 means 'I'm scared' or 'it's scary.' Luna, are you scared of anything? Luna: Hmm... I'm scared of spiders. How do I say 'I'm scared of spiders'? Lucas: We can say '거미가 무서워요.' But let's keep it simple: just 무서워요 works. Now, another phrase: 뭐가 무서워요?—'What are you scared of?' Luna: 뭐가 무서워요? Lucas: Perfect. So if someone asks you 뭐가 무서워요, you can just say 무서워요 or name the thing. Luna: Got it. So 뭐가 무서워요? Lucas, what are you scared of? Lucas: I'm scared of heights. But in Korean, I can just say '높은 곳이 무서워요.' But for today, just 무서워요 is fine. Luna: Okay, 무서워요. I think I got that. Lucas: Now the second word: 놀랐어요—'I'm surprised.' Say it: 놀랐어요. Luna: 놀랐어요. Lucas: Good. 놀랐어요 is past tense, but it means 'I am surprised' in the moment. If something surprises you, you say 놀랐어요. Luna: Oh, so if you scare me, I can say 놀랐어요? Lucas: Exactly. Or if you get a surprise party, you say 놀랐어요. And to ask 'Why are you surprised?' you say '왜 놀랐어요?' Luna: 왜 놀랐어요? That's useful. Lucas: Let's practice both. Repeat after me: 무서워요. 놀랐어요. Luna: 무서워요. 놀랐어요. Lucas: Great. Now let's make a little scene. Imagine you're watching a horror movie. What do you say? Luna: 무서워요! I'm scared! Lucas: And then someone jumps out and you scream. What do you say? Luna: 놀랐어요! I'm surprised! Lucas: Exactly. Now let's switch. Luna asks me: '뭐가 무서워요?' Luna: 뭐가 무서워요? Lucas: I'm not scared of much, but let's say '거미가 무서워요'—spiders are scary. Luna: 거미가 무서워요. Okay, I'll remember that. Lucas: Now your turn: ask me '왜 놀랐어요?' Luna: 왜 놀랐어요? Lucas: I can say '깜짝 놀랐어요'—I was startled. But simple version: 놀랐어요. Luna: Okay, so 놀랐어요 is the key. Lucas: Let's do a quick review. Repeat: 무서워요. Luna: 무서워요. Lucas: 놀랐어요. Luna: 놀랐어요. Lucas: 뭐가 무서워요? Luna: 뭐가 무서워요? Lucas: 왜 놀랐어요? Luna: 왜 놀랐어요? Lucas: Awesome. Now let's use them in a tiny conversation. I'll start: '어제 영화 봤어요. 너무 무서웠어요.' That means 'Yesterday I watched a movie. It was very scary.' Luna: Oh, 무서웠어요 is past tense of 무서워요? Cool. So I can say '그래요? 저도 무서워요.'—Really? I'm scared too. Lucas: Perfect. And then I can say '깜짝 놀랐어요!'—I was startled! Luna: 놀랐어요! I got that. Lucas: So today we learned 무서워요 and 놀랐어요. Plus questions 뭐가 무서워요? and 왜 놀랐어요? Practice them with friends or by yourself. Luna: Yeah, I'll practice scaring my friends and then saying 놀랐어요! Lucas: You're trouble. But that's a good way to remember. Luna: Thanks Lucas, that was fun. Lucas: And thank you for listening to Learn Korean with Fexingo. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time. Bye! Luna: Bye everyone! 다음에 봐요!
