Transcript
- Lucas: Luna, ready for another episode of Learn Korean with Fexingo? Luna: Yes! I've been practicing the 'want to' pattern -고 싶어요 from last time. It's so useful. Lucas: Exactly. Today let's do a quick review and add a few more phrases. Let's start with 'what do you want to do?' Luna: 뭐 하고 싶어요? Lucas: Perfect. 뭐 하고 싶어요? Now, one common answer: 'I want to eat.' In Korean... Luna: 밥을 먹고 싶어요? Lucas: Yes! 밥을 먹고 싶어요. 밥 means rice or meal, 먹다 is to eat, and 고 싶어요 turns it into 'want to eat.' Luna: So if I'm hungry, I say 밥을 먹고 싶어요. Lucas: Exactly. Now, another desire: 'I want to go to Korea.' Luna: 한국에 가고 싶어요. Lucas: Good. 한국에 means 'to Korea', 가다 is 'to go', so 한국에 가고 싶어요. Luna: I want to go to Korea so badly. Lucas: Let's hear it again: 한국에 가고 싶어요. Luna: 한국에 가고 싶어요. Lucas: Now, 'I want to meet a friend.' Luna: 친구를 만나고 싶어요. Lucas: 친구 is friend, 만나다 is to meet. So 친구를 만나고 싶어요. One more: 'I want to watch a movie.' Luna: 영화를 보고 싶어요. Lucas: Yes. 영화 movie, 보다 to see, 영화를 보고 싶어요. Luna: Okay, let me try them all: 밥을 먹고 싶어요, 한국에 가고 싶어요, 친구를 만나고 싶어요, 영화를 보고 싶어요. Lucas: Fantastic. Let's put it in a short conversation. I'll ask 뭐 하고 싶어요? and you answer with one of them. Luna: Okay. Lucas: 뭐 하고 싶어요? Luna: 밥을 먹고 싶어요. Lucas: Great. Another: 뭐 하고 싶어요? Luna: 한국에 가고 싶어요.
