- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Ready for more Korean? Lucas: Absolutely. Today we're going somewhere useful — a pharmacy. Luna: Oh! Like when you're sick and need medicine. That's smart. Lucas: Exactly. First phrase: 약 있어요? That means 'Do you have medicine?' Luna: 약 있어요? Lucas: Perfect. 약 is medicine, 있어요 means 'there is' or 'have'. So 약 있어요? — Do you have medicine? Luna: 약 있어요? I'll remember that. But what if I want to say I have a cold? Lucas: Great question! 감기에 걸렸어요 — 'I caught a cold'. Luna: 감기에 걸렸어요. That's a mouthful! Lucas: Let's break it down. 감기 is cold, 에 is a particle, 걸렸어요 means 'caught'. So 감기에 걸렸어요. Luna: 감기에 걸렸어요. Okay, I think I got it. Lucas: Say it with me: 감기에 걸렸어요. Luna: 감기에 걸렸어요. Lucas: Good! Now if you want to ask for cold medicine, you say 감기약 주세요. Luna: 감기약 주세요 — cold medicine, please. Lucas: Right. 감기약 is cold medicine, 주세요 means 'give me please'. Luna: 감기약 주세요. So I can say 'I have a cold, cold medicine please'. Lucas: Perfect. Now once you get the medicine, you might want to ask how to take it. 이 약 어떻게 먹어요? — 'How do I take this medicine?' Luna: 이 약 어떻게 먹어요? 이 약 is 'this medicine', 어떻게 is 'how', 먹어요 is 'eat' or 'take'? Lucas: Exactly. 먹어요 can mean eat or take medicine. So 이 약 어떻게 먹어요? Luna: 이 약 어떻게 먹어요? Lucas: And a common answer is 하루에 세 번 먹어요 — 'Take it three times a day'. Luna: 하루에 세 번 먹어요. 하루 is day, 세 번 is three times. Luna: 하루에 세 번 먹어요. Got it. Lucas: Let's practice a short scene. Imagine you're at the pharmacy. Luna: Okay. I'll go first. 약 있어요?
