- Lucas: Luna, ready for another episode? Today we're going to a museum in Korean. Luna: Ooh, a museum. I love museums. What phrases will we need? Lucas: First, to say 'this painting is beautiful' — 이 그림은 아름다워요. Luna: 이 그림은 아름다워요. That's a mouthful. 이 그림은 아름다워요. Lucas: Perfect. '이' means 'this', '그림' is 'painting', '은' is a topic marker, and '아름다워요' means 'beautiful'. Let's break it down: 이 그림은. 아름다워요. Luna: 이 그림은 아름다워요. Got it. So if I see a nice painting, I can say that. Lucas: Exactly. Next, if you like a sculpture, say '이 조각품이 마음에 들어요' — 'I like this sculpture'. Luna: 이 조각품이 마음에 들어요. '조각품' is sculpture, right? 이 조각품이 마음에 들어요. Lucas: Yes. '마음에 들어요' literally means 'it enters my heart', so it's 'I like it'. Good job. Luna: That's poetic. So if I see a cool sculpture, I can say that. Lucas: Right. Now, if the museum is free, you might see a sign saying '무료 입장이에요' — 'free admission'. Luna: 무료 입장이에요. '무료' is free, '입장' is admission. 무료 입장이에요. Good to know. Lucas: And if you're curious about an exhibit, ask '이거 뭐예요?' — 'What is this?' Luna: 이거 뭐예요? Simple. 이거 뭐예요? Lucas: Exactly. Finally, if you want to take a photo, ask '사진 찍어도 돼요?' — 'Can I take a picture?' Luna: 사진 찍어도 돼요? '찍다' is to take a photo, right? 사진 찍어도 돼요? Lucas: Yes. '찍어도 돼요?' means 'is it okay to take?'. So you're all set for a museum visit. Luna: This is really useful. I can imagine using these at the National Museum. Lucas: If today's lesson was helpful, you know what keeps these episodes ad-free?
