Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 180! Can you believe it? Lucas: I know. We've come a long way. And today we're adding two more body parts to your Korean vocabulary. Luna: Oh, I've been waiting for this. We did eyes and ears last time, right? Lucas: Exactly. So today it's nose and mouth. Let's start with nose. In Korean, nose is 코. Luna: 코. Lucas: Good. 코. Say it again. Luna: 코. Lucas: Perfect. Now mouth is 입. Luna: 입. Lucas: Right. 입. Let's try both: 코 and 입. Luna: 코 and 입. Got it. Lucas: Now let's put them into actions. 'I smell with my nose' — 코로 냄새를 맡아요. Luna: 코로 냄새를 맡아요. That's a mouthful. Lucas: It is. Let's break it down: 코로 means 'with nose', 냄새 means 'smell', and 맡아요 means 'smell' as a verb. So: 코로 냄새를 맡아요. Luna: 코로 냄새를 맡아요. Lucas: Great. Now for mouth: 'I speak with my mouth' — 입으로 말해요. Luna: 입으로 말해요. Lucas: Yes. 입으로 means 'with mouth', 말해요 means 'speak'. So: 입으로 말해요. Luna: 입으로 말해요. So if I say 'I smell with my nose and speak with my mouth', it would be 코로 냄새를 맡아요 and 입으로 말해요? Lucas: Exactly. You're a natural. Now let's learn two useful phrases. If your nose is stuffy, you say '코가 막혔어요'. Luna: 코가 막혔어요. That would be useful during allergy season. Lucas: Right. And if someone has a big mouth, you can say '입이 커요'. Luna: 입이 커요. That's literally 'mouth is big'. Lucas: Yep. Now let's practice with a little scenario. Imagine you're at a flower shop. You smell a flower. Luna: So I would say '코로 냄새를 맡아요'? Lucas: Exactly. And then you might say '꽃 냄새가 좋아요' — the flower smells good. But we'll save that for another episode. Luna: Okay. Let me try another. If my mouth is small, I might say '입이 작아요'? Lucas: Perfect. 입이 작아요. You're using the pattern already. Luna: This is fun. I can already describe my face in Korean. Lucas: You can. And you know, if Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with Korean like this, there's a small way you can support us. Luna: Yeah, it's totally optional, but if today's episode was worth a coffee to you, that's the link — buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Lucas: Exactly. Every little bit helps keep the show ad-free and going. Now back to noses. Luna: Let's practice '코가 막혔어요' one more time. Lucas: Sure. Repeat after me: 코가 막혔어요. Luna: 코가 막혔어요. Lucas: And 입이 커요. Luna: 입이 커요. Lucas: Great. Now let's do a quick review: nose? Luna: 코. Lucas: Mouth? Luna: 입. Lucas: Smell with nose? Luna: 코로 냄새를 맡아요. Lucas: Speak with mouth? Luna: 입으로 말해요. Lucas: Nose is stuffy? Luna: 코가 막혔어요. Lucas: Mouth is big? Luna: 입이 커요. Lucas: Excellent. You've got it. Practice these phrases, and next time you smell some coffee or talk about your face, you'll be ready. Luna: Thanks for joining us on Learn Korean with Fexingo. See you next time! Lucas: Keep practicing, and we'll see you in the next episode.
