- 0:00Speaker 1: Easy Korean. Class 95. Welcome. Welcome to another podcast episode
- 0:08Speaker 1: of easy,
- 0:11Speaker 2: wow. How many, you know, decided to do something different today.
- 0:14Speaker 2: So last podcast we learned how to say pretty, which
- 0:19Speaker 2: is you can, you know, pay a compliment to somebody
- 0:24Speaker 2: regardless whether the stranger or not compliments always make people smile.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Of course, of course. Okay, so now let's do it
- 0:29Speaker 2: for the guys. How about handsome? I mean how would
- 0:32Speaker 2: you describe or say a nice thing to a guy
- 0:35Speaker 2: in Korea in Korea who is good looking,
- 0:37Speaker 2: would it be handsome? Yeah. Well we have a word
- 0:41Speaker 2: for handsome but it's really more so good looking. Okay, Okay. Yeah,
- 0:45Speaker 2: it's cherishing your soil. How come It's so difficult for
- 0:48Speaker 2: the guys are a little tough but if I break
- 0:51Speaker 2: it down, tie is good. Seeing your soil is how
- 0:55Speaker 2: you look like you're good looking, right? How you look
- 0:57Speaker 2: like good. But I don't think I realized that when
- 1:02Speaker 2: when somebody thinks somebody is good looking, it feels like
- 1:05Speaker 2: in korean dramas
- 1:06Speaker 2: they call them right? But not necessarily is it? Oprah
- 1:11Speaker 2: is not an adjective. Yeah, it's a noun and Oprah
- 1:15Speaker 2: is just basically a guy who's older than the girl.
- 1:19Speaker 2: So only females can use it on older males. Yeah.
- 1:23Speaker 2: But the thing is you will not use it on
- 1:25Speaker 2: a person. I always feel like they use it on
- 1:28Speaker 2: people that they fancy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Yeah.
- 1:32Speaker 2: You're going to use it. Let's say I mean your dad,
- 1:33Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go, oh no, no, no. Yeah, but
- 1:37Speaker 2: it but it also is older brother. So I call
- 1:40Speaker 2: my older brother, although I don't find him like so okay,
- 1:46Speaker 2: so it doesn't always have to be romantically inclined. Not really,
- 1:49Speaker 2: but it was romantically inclined. Why would you want to
- 1:51Speaker 2: call somebody older brother? I mean that is that it's
- 1:53Speaker 2: a bit ancestors. No, like you know it's a korean thing, ancestor. Yeah.
- 1:59Speaker 2: It's so confusing. There's just too context for the world. Okay. Yeah.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Okay so it's like I fancy you but I pretend
- 2:05Speaker 2: that you know, wink, wink you just like an older
- 2:07Speaker 2: brother but not really. Yeah. No, but then also it
- 2:10Speaker 2: kind of represents kinship so it doesn't even have to
- 2:14Speaker 2: be someone that you really admire whatsoever. It could be
- 2:17Speaker 2: someone that you are very close to but you don't
- 2:19Speaker 2: have any romantic inclinations. Okay. Like a mentor. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:23Speaker 2: You can use if they are like cool with it. Okay,
- 2:26Speaker 2: so let's see if I meet your dad and we
- 2:27Speaker 2: get along really well. He's like man, my mentor. I
- 2:30Speaker 2: could call him open as well if he says like
- 2:32Speaker 2: call me open but married men asking the women to
- 2:36Speaker 2: call them red flag. Oh it's so it's so much
- 2:40Speaker 2: cultural context to this. There's a lot of context in it. Okay,
- 2:44Speaker 2: so that's another time that we we digress a lot.
- 2:47Speaker 2: We're going to learn how to say how you look good,
- 2:50Speaker 2: which means handsome, good looking, good looking. So can this
- 2:53Speaker 2: be applied for women as well? Yeah, you can. I
- 2:55Speaker 2: mean if you really find someone good looking and in
- 2:58Speaker 2: fact in Korea a lot of women have female crushes
- 3:01Speaker 2: on female celebrities as well for people who really look
- 3:04Speaker 2: cool and stuff. So we'll just say oh you're so
- 3:07Speaker 2: good looking. But generally it's used on males. Okay, Okay, okay.
- 3:12Speaker 2: So say it again and then break it down for
- 3:14Speaker 2: us so we can learn. Okay,
- 3:16Speaker 2: Japan is bracing herself for how I'm going to butcher
- 3:22Speaker 2: the word. I know that you're going to be so confused.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Let's take it easy. Ok, ok. How do you spell that?
- 3:33Speaker 2: It's wow. How do I spell this? Is G Y
- 3:36Speaker 2: E O T.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Okay. But actually when we say the actual words, the
- 3:48Speaker 2: G Y E O T. The T. Is silent. Okay,
- 3:50Speaker 2: break it down. I think we need to do this
- 3:52Speaker 2: five times. Okay. Okay.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Kill
- 4:18Speaker 2: you.
- 4:22Speaker 2: You're good. You're doing good child child. So the emphasis
- 4:34Speaker 2: would be the child and the so is there any
- 4:40Speaker 2: inter nations we should avoid or not really well just
- 4:44Speaker 2: treat it like a normal like english phrase. If you
- 4:46Speaker 2: want to raise it as a question, you're like you
- 4:49Speaker 2: think he's good looking
- 4:52Speaker 2: or exclamations like yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well he's just good looking.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. So you could walk up to a person
- 5:04Speaker 2: and it won't be awkward. Right if you tell them
- 5:07Speaker 2: like yeah. Yeah if you really want to give them
- 5:10Speaker 2: a compliment, right? Yeah. Just tell them they're good looking.
- 5:13Speaker 2: It won't come across as pervy or like, you know,
- 5:16Speaker 2: it's not a pervy compliment. Okay. Okay, So go forth
- 5:20Speaker 2: and tell someone easy korean 95.
