- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. It is episode two forty six. Lucas: We are picking up right where we left off. Last week we talked about foggy mornings. Luna: Right. Visibility was low. I could barely see my own hand. Lucas: But the weather outside is not the only thing changing. The air gets very dry. Luna: Oh no. My face feels tight. Like a mask that is too small. Lucas: That is exactly what happens in winter. Let us learn how to talk about it. Luna: I want to say my skin is dry. How do I start? Lucas: The first phrase is 피부가 건조해요. Say it with me slowly. 피부가 건조해요. Luna: 피부가 건조해요. That means my skin is dry. Lucas: Exactly. 피부 means skin. 건조 means dry. Combine them. 피부가 건조해요. Luna: Okay. 피부가 건조해요. It sounds serious. But true. Lucas: It is a fact. Now let us fix it. You need to apply cream. Luna: How do you tell someone to put on cream politely? Lucas: Use this command: 크림을 바르세요. Listen closely. 크림을 바르세요. Luna: 크림을 바르세요. Baruseyo. Apply cream. Lucas: Yes. 크림 is cream. 바르세요 is the polite imperative for applying something. Luna: 크림을 바르세요. I feel like I am giving a medical order. Lucas: It is practical advice though. Especially when your skin is dry. Luna: Let me try the whole thought. My skin is dry. So I must apply cream. Lucas: Good connection. Say it together. 피부가 건조해요. Then 크림을 바르세요. Luna: 피부가 건조해요. 크림을 바르세요. That flows well. Lucas: It does. Now, which kind of cream works best in this cold weather? Luna: I prefer one that gives lots of water or moisture. Lucas: In Korean, we call that a moisture cream. 수분 크림. And you can say it is good. Luna: So the phrase is 수분 크림이 좋아요? Is that correct? Lucas: Perfect. 수분 means moisture or water content. 크림 is cream. 이 connects them. 좋아요 means good. Luna: 수분 크림이 좋아요. I love that phrase. It is so specific. Lucas: It is necessary.

Luna: Please teach me. 입술이 갈라졌어요? Is that the one? Lucas: Yes. 입술 means lips. 갈라졌어요 means it has split or cracked. Luna: 입술이 갈라졌어요. Oh, that hurts just saying it. Lucas: It describes the state. The lips have become cracked. A common winter problem. Luna: So if my friend asks why I look sad, I can say 입술이 갈라졌어요. Lucas: Or you can ask for help. We need a final phrase for this routine. Luna: I think I know this one. 보습제를 발라요. Apply moisturizer. Lucas: Correct. 보습제 is moisturizer or emollient. 발라요 is the verb to apply. Luna: 보습제를 발라요. This completes the set.
