Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Hey, Lucas, I went to an art museum over the weekend. Lucas: Oh, that sounds nice. What did you see? Luna: A lot of paintings. But I didn't know how to comment on them in Korean. So today, maybe we can learn some phrases? Lucas: Absolutely. Let's start with a simple one: '이 그림이 아름다워요.' Say it with me: 이 그림이 아름다워요. Luna: 이 그림이 아름다워요. Lucas: Perfect. It means 'This painting is beautiful.' 아름다워요 is 'beautiful'. Luna: 아름다워요. I love that word. Lucas: Me too. Now try this one: '색깔이 예뻐요.' The colors are pretty. Luna: 색깔이 예뻐요. Lucas: Great. 색깔 is 'color', 예뻐요 is 'pretty'. So you can use it for any artwork. Luna: Okay. So if I see a painting with nice colors, I say '색깔이 예뻐요'? Lucas: Exactly. Now, what if you want to ask about the painting? You can say '무슨 그림이에요?' – What kind of painting is it? Luna: 무슨 그림이에요? Lucas: Good. 무슨 means 'what kind of'. 그림 is 'painting'. So, 무슨 그림이에요? Luna: Got it. And if someone answers '추상화'? Lucas: 추상화 is 'abstract painting'. You can also hear '풍경화' – landscape painting. Let's practice: '추상화'. Luna: 추상화. Lucas: And 풍경화. Luna: 풍경화. Lucas: Great. So imagine you're at the museum. You see a beautiful abstract painting. What do you say? Luna: 이 그림이 아름다워요. 색깔이 예뻐요. 무슨 그림이에요? 아, 추상화! Lucas: Wow, Luna, that was excellent.
