- Lucas: 안녕하세요, welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Episode 17 already — wow. Lucas: I know, time flies. Today we're learning something super practical: the days of the week in Korean. Luna: Oh, great! I've been wanting to say things like 'See you on Monday' or 'I have a meeting on Friday.' Lucas: Exactly. So let's start with Monday. In Korean, Monday is 월요일. Say it with me: 월요일. Luna: 월요일. That's... wol-yo-il? Lucas: Perfect! 월 means 'moon,' and 요일 means 'day of the week.' So Monday is moon day. Luna: Oh, like in English! Moon day — Monday. Lucas: Right. Now Tuesday. 화요일. 화 means 'fire.' Say it: 화요일. Luna: 화요일. Hwa-yo-il. Lucas: Yeah. Wednesday is 수요일. 수 means 'water.' 수요일. Luna: 수요일. That's su-yo-il. Water day. Lucas: Yes. Thursday is 목요일. 목 means 'wood.' 목요일. Luna: 목요일. Mok-yo-il. Like wood. Lucas: Exactly. Friday is 금요일. 금 means 'gold.' 금요일. Luna: 금요일. Geum-yo-il. Gold day — I love that! Lucas: Saturday is 토요일. 토 means 'earth' or 'soil.' 토요일. Luna: 토요일. To-yo-il. Earth day. Lucas: And Sunday is 일요일. 일 means 'sun' or 'day.' 일요일. Luna: 일요일. Il-yo-il. Sun day. So Monday through Sunday are all elements and celestial bodies. Lucas: Yeah, it's poetic. Let's practice them in order. Ready? Luna: Ready! Lucas: 월요일, 화요일, 수요일, 목요일, 금요일, 토요일, 일요일. Luna: 월요일, 화요일, 수요일, 목요일, 금요일, 토요일, 일요일. Lucas: That was smooth. Now let me give you a tiny sentence. 'Today is Monday.' 오늘은 월요일이에요. Luna: 오늘은 월요일이에요. Today is Monday. Lucas: Right. 'Tomorrow is Tuesday.' 내일은 화요일이에요. Luna: 내일은 화요일이에요. Lucas: What about 'Yesterday was Sunday'? 어제는 일요일이었어요. Luna: 어제는 일요일이었어요. That's a bit longer. Lucas: You'll get it. Now let's make a schedule. I'll say a day, and you say what you do. Let's start with 월요일. Luna: 월요일... I go to work. 일해요. Lucas: Nice. 화요일? Luna: 화요일... I have a meeting. 회의가 있어요. Lucas: Good. 수요일? Luna: 수요일... I study Korean. 한국어 공부해요. Lucas: Ah, good. 목요일? Luna: 목요일... I meet friends. 친구를 만나요. Lucas: Nice. 금요일? Luna: 금요일... I watch a drama. 드라마 봐요. Lucas: Fun. 토요일? Luna: 토요일... I sleep in. 늦잠 자요. Lucas: And 일요일? Luna: 일요일... I relax. 쉬어요. Lucas: Perfect! You used the days naturally. Let's review the words one more time. Repeat after me: 월요일. Luna: 월요일. Lucas: 화요일. Luna: 화요일. Lucas: 수요일. Luna: 수요일. Lucas: 목요일. Luna: 목요일. Lucas: 금요일. Luna: 금요일. Lucas: 토요일. Luna: 토요일. Lucas: 일요일. Luna: 일요일. Lucas: Excellent. Now you can say what day it is, or ask someone. For example, 'What day is it today?' 오늘이 무슨 요일이에요? Luna: 오늘이 무슨 요일이에요? Lucas: And you answer: 오늘은 화요일이에요. Luna: 오늘은 화요일이에요. Lucas: That's it! You just learned the days of the week in Korean. Practice them until next time. Thanks for joining us on Fexingo! Luna: 다음에 봐요! Bye! Lucas: 다음에 봐요!
