Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Hey, last time we learned months from January to June. I've been practicing them. Lucas: Oh, good for you! So you remember how to say January? Luna: 일월! Lucas: Perfect! And February? Luna: 이월. Lucas: Nailed it. Today we're going to finish the year — July through December. Luna: Great, I've been wondering how to say my birthday month. Let's go! Lucas: All right. Let's start with July. In Korean, July is 칠월. 칠 means seven, and 월 means month. Luna: 칠월. That's easy — seven is 칠, like in 칠. Lucas: Exactly. Now August. August is 팔월. 팔 is eight. Luna: 팔월. So 팔 is eight? Lucas: Right. September is 구월. 구 is nine. Luna: 구월. Okay, so 칠월, 팔월, 구월. Lucas: Good. Now October — this one is a bit special. October is 시월. Not 십월, but 시월. Luna: Oh, why is that? Lucas: It's a contraction. Ten is 십, but before 월, it becomes 시. So it's 시월. Luna: 시월. Got it. So October is 시월. Lucas: Yes. November is 십일월. That's ten-one month. Luna: 십일월. And December is 십이월? Lucas: Exactly! 십이월. Ten-two month. Luna: So July to December: 칠월, 팔월, 구월, 시월, 십일월, 십이월. Lucas: Perfect. Let's practice. I'll say the English, you say the Korean. July. Luna: 칠월. Lucas: August. Luna: 팔월. Lucas: September. Luna: 구월. Lucas: October. Luna: 시월. Lucas: November. Luna: 십일월. Lucas: December. Luna: 십이월. Lucas: Excellent! Now let's use them in a sentence. 'My birthday is in July.' In Korean: 내 생일은 칠월이에요. Luna: 내 생일은 칠월이에요. My birthday is in July. What about 'My birthday is in October'? Lucas: That would be 내 생일은 시월이에요. Luna: 내 생일은 시월이에요. Lucas: Great. Now let's ask about someone else. 'When is your birthday?' is 생일이 몇 월이에요? Luna: 생일이 몇 월이에요? Lucas: And you can answer with the month. For example, 생일이 팔월이에요 — My birthday is in August. Luna: 생일이 팔월이에요. Lucas: Let's do a quick dialogue. I'll ask you: 생일이 몇 월이에요? Luna: 내 생일은 구월이에요. Lucas: Oh, your birthday is in September! Nice. Luna: What about you, Lucas? Lucas: My birthday is in December, so 내 생일은 십이월이에요. Luna: 아, 십이월! December. Lucas: Now let's review all six from today. Repeat after me: July — 칠월. Luna: 칠월. Lucas: August — 팔월. Luna: 팔월. Lucas: September — 구월. Luna: 구월. Lucas: October — 시월. Luna: 시월. Lucas: November — 십일월. Luna: 십일월. Lucas: December — 십이월. Luna: 십이월. Lucas: Awesome. So now you know all twelve months in Korean. Luna: That's so satisfying! I can finally say my birthday month. Lucas: And you can ask others too! 생일이 몇 월이에요? Luna: 생일이 몇 월이에요? Got it. Lucas: That's all for today's episode of Learn Korean with Fexingo. Keep practicing these months, and next time we'll build on them. Luna: Thanks, Lucas! See you next time. Lucas: Bye bye! 안녕!
