Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. Luna, ready for episode 69? Luna: So ready! What are we learning today? Lucas: Today we're talking about hobbies. It's a great way to get to know someone in Korean. Luna: Oh, I love that! I can finally ask people what they like to do. Lucas: Exactly. So the first phrase is: 취미가 뭐예요? Luna: 취미가 뭐예요? Lucas: That means 'What is your hobby?' Let's break it down. 취미 means 'hobby', 가 is the subject marker, 뭐 means 'what', and 예요 is 'is'. So, 취미가 뭐예요? Luna: 취미가 뭐예요? I think I got it. So if someone asks me, I can say... hmm, what's my hobby? Lucas: Well, let's learn some hobby words. First, 독서. That means 'reading'. Luna: 독서. Reading. I love reading! Lucas: So you can say: 제 취미는 독서예요. That means 'My hobby is reading.' Luna: 제 취미는 독서예요. Oh, that sounds nice. But what about exercise? I go running. Lucas: For exercise, we say 운동. So: 제 취미는 운동이에요. Remember, if the word ends in a consonant, we use 이에요 instead of 예요. 운동 ends with a consonant, so it's 운동이에요. Luna: 제 취미는 운동이에요. Got it. And if I want to say 'I like watching movies'? Lucas: For 'watching movies', we say 영화 보기. So: 제 취미는 영화 보기예요. Luna: 제 취미는 영화 보기예요. That's a long one! 영화 보기. What about 'listening to music'? Lucas: That's 음악 듣기. So: 제 취미는 음악 듣기예요. Luna: 음악 듣기. I like that. And cooking? I love cooking. Lucas: Cooking is 요리. So: 제 취미는 요리예요. Luna: 제 취미는 요리예요. Okay, let me try a full conversation. So I ask: 취미가 뭐예요? Lucas: And I say: 제 취미는 독서예요. Then you could say: 저도 독서 좋아해요. That means 'I also like reading.' Luna: Oh, 저도 독서 좋아해요. That's from a previous episode! So we're combining things. Nice. Lucas: Exactly. Now let's practice a bit. I'll ask you: 취미가 뭐예요? Luna: 제 취미는 영화 보기예요. Lucas: Ah, 영화 보기. 좋아요! What kind of movies do you like? Luna: Umm... that's a new question! Maybe next time. But for now, I'm happy with my hobby sentence. Lucas: Alright. Let's do a quick recap. We learned 취미가 뭐예요?, and then the hobbies: 독서, 운동, 영화 보기, 음악 듣기, 요리. Luna: And the answer pattern: 제 취미는 예요/이에요. Lucas: Perfect.

And remember, you can also just say: 취미는 예요. It's a bit more casual but fine. Luna: 취미는 요리예요. That's easier. Lucas: Yes, you can drop the 제 if the context is clear. So, practice these with your friends. Ask them 취미가 뭐예요? and see what they say. Luna: I will! Thanks Lucas. This was a fun episode. Lucas: You're welcome.
