- 0:11Speaker 1: Good morning. OK, what are we gonna learn today for
- 0:14Speaker 1: our E Korean? Although my favorite is.
- 0:17Speaker 2: You know what, it's great that you're so
- 0:19Speaker 2: awake today.
- 0:20Speaker 1: The coffee is really kicked in. That's fantastic. I was
- 0:23Speaker 1: in bed at 10 p.m. yesterday.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Very proud of you. What time were you
- 0:26Speaker 2: in bed, huh? Well, actually pretty late because I was
- 0:29Speaker 2: binging squid game with my husband.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Oh, OK, I didn't, to be honest, OK, unpopular opinion,
- 0:36Speaker 1: but I, I'm not a fan of Squid Games.
- 0:38Speaker 2: It's
- 0:39Speaker 1: it's
- 0:39Speaker 2: so,
- 0:39Speaker 1: it's
- 0:40Speaker 1: so dark.
- 0:41Speaker 2: I know, but that's why some people like it. It's
- 0:43Speaker 2: like so twisted and dark, but it's so entertaining as well. Correct,
- 0:49Speaker 1: but it's so entertaining in a dark way and it's
- 0:51Speaker 1: like it's celebrating.
- 0:52Speaker 1: The not so good things of human nature,
- 0:55Speaker 2: or maybe just really highlighting the not so good things
- 0:58Speaker 2: of human nature, which is good,
- 0:59Speaker 1: it's like a mirror and it highlights it and people
- 1:01Speaker 1: are more aware of it, but I don't know, it
- 1:02Speaker 1: makes me sad, so I don't like it. I'm not
- 1:05Speaker 1: watching it. Well, we just season one,
- 1:07Speaker 2: season 3 already.
- 1:08Speaker 1: I didn't watch season 2.
- 1:10Speaker 2: So it's already the season finale, so it's like the
- 1:13Speaker 2: end of the whole story and that's why um James
- 1:17Speaker 2: and I, we were
- 1:18Speaker 2: really looking forward to binge the entire series over one weekend,
- 1:23Speaker 2: because the spoilers are just coming out left, right and center. Anyway,
- 1:27Speaker 2: so I was watching um school Game the entire weekend
- 1:30Speaker 2: and um we just have one final episode to watch,
- 1:34Speaker 2: but as I was watching, I gained inspiration for what
- 1:39Speaker 2: we could learn on Easy Korean. OK. OK.
- 1:43Speaker 2: I'm gonna preface this by saying this, is this something negative? No,
- 1:47Speaker 2: maybe it's not the most positive Korean word to learn.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Is that right? I mean, coming out of Squid Game. Oh, surprise, surprise,
- 1:55Speaker 1: my gosh.
- 1:56Speaker 2: But um in the show, there's a lot.
- 2:01Speaker 2: I don't expressive language and Koreans are known to be
- 2:06Speaker 2: very expressive as well, but I thought there was just
- 2:09Speaker 2: this one word that the participants kept repeatedly saying, and
- 2:14Speaker 2: it was you. OK, that's that, that sounds like a
- 2:15Speaker 2: cuss
- 2:21Speaker 2: word
- 2:22Speaker 1: in a way.
- 2:23Speaker 2: It means.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Trash. Oh,
- 2:25Speaker 1: that's not so bad.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but I was, I was just noticing every
- 2:30Speaker 2: single person was saying it left, right, center. Yeah,
- 2:33Speaker 1: because it's such a dark,
- 2:35Speaker 2: right? Yeah, and maybe we can learn it, not so
- 2:38Speaker 2: much for ourselves to use it, but for us to
- 2:42Speaker 2: recognize that when someone says you are sydicky, you know,
- 2:47Speaker 2: like how dare.
- 2:48Speaker 2: you call me
- 2:49Speaker 1: trash. OK, so it means trash, but can you really,
- 2:52Speaker 1: obviously you can use it to call trash trash as well, right?
- 2:54Speaker 2: Yes, it literally means
- 2:56Speaker 1: trash, right, so if I see like rubbish on the floor,
- 2:59Speaker 1: I can go, oh, Sidii.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, that's, could you throw the Siy away from me, please? Right,
- 3:05Speaker 1: but you can refer it to a person as well.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Look at the face or really anything that
- 3:12Speaker 2: You feel like it's trash. Like you could have cooked
- 3:16Speaker 2: some pasta meal for yourself, but you feel like it
- 3:19Speaker 2: tastes terrible.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Oh, I love that the flexibility of the word. OK,
- 3:24Speaker 1: break it down for us,
- 3:29Speaker 2: re regs.
- 3:30Speaker 1: So the emphasis is on the first syllable.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Oh, that's
- 3:32Speaker 2: quite easy.
- 3:33Speaker 1: OK,
- 3:34Speaker 2: yeah, it's a very strong
- 3:35Speaker 1: doubles, OK.
- 3:37Speaker 2: there there kiki ki kiki
- 3:45Speaker 1: i but she's ski but but she's angsty. You're making
- 3:49Speaker 1: all our listeners angsty this morning, but you know what,
- 3:51Speaker 1: it can also like, uh, the tonality of the word
- 3:53Speaker 1: can also indicate, right, so let's say if I'm going
- 3:55Speaker 1: around because I'm nice that way. I'm collecting trash from
- 3:58Speaker 1: everybody in the meeting.
- 3:59Speaker 1: I can go,
- 4:00Speaker 2: yeah, you
- 4:01Speaker 2: can. Do you have trash
- 4:03Speaker 1: to give me because I'm going to throw it away,
- 4:05Speaker 2: right? You can do that, yes. Well, if you take
- 4:07Speaker 2: the emotion out of the word, really it just means
- 4:10Speaker 1: trash. But of course if somebody or something or even yourself,
- 4:14Speaker 1: you make yourself angry today, you can either say to
- 4:21Speaker 1: or sit.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Korean
- 4:26Speaker 1: 95.
