Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 43, can you believe it? Lucas: I know, right? We've come a long way. Last time we talked about seasons. Today, let's talk about family. Luna: Oh, family! That's so important. I need to know how to introduce my mom and dad. Lucas: Exactly. So let's start with the basics. The word for 'mom' in Korean is 엄마. Luna: 엄마. Lucas: Good. And 'dad' is 아빠. Luna: 아빠. Lucas: Perfect. So if you want to say 'this is my mom', you can say '이분은 엄마예요'. But let's keep it simple today. Just remember 엄마 and 아빠. Luna: 엄마, 아빠. Got it. My mom is 엄마, my dad is 아빠. Lucas: There you go. Now, what about siblings? In Korean, the words for older sister and older brother depend on the speaker's gender. For a female speaker, an older sister is 언니, and an older brother is 오빠. Luna: So for me, as a girl, I would call my older sister 언니 and my older brother 오빠. Lucas: Exactly. And for a male speaker, an older sister is 누나, and an older brother is 형. Luna: So for Lucas, his older sister is 누나, and his older brother is 형. Lucas: Right. Let's practice. Luna, if you have an older sister, what do you call her? Luna: 언니. Lucas: And if you have an older brother? Luna: 오빠. Lucas: Perfect. Now, if I have an older sister, I call her 누나. Luna: 누나. Lucas: And an older brother, 형. Luna: 형. Lucas: Great. Let's do a little scene. Imagine Luna is introducing her family. Luna, who's this? Luna: 이분은 엄마예요. And this is my older sister, 언니. Lucas: Nice. And how about your older brother? Luna: 이분은 오빠예요. Lucas: Awesome. Now let's try the male version. I'll introduce my family. 이분은 아빠예요. And this is my older sister, 누나. Luna: And your older brother? Lucas: 이분은 형이에요. Luna: So 누나 for older sister, 형 for older brother. That's for guys. Lucas: Exactly. Let's repeat all six words one more time. 엄마. Luna: 엄마. Lucas: 아빠. Luna: 아빠. Lucas: 언니. Luna: 언니. Lucas: 오빠. Luna: 오빠. Lucas: 누나. Luna: 누나. Lucas: 형. Luna: 형. Lucas: Excellent! Now you can talk about your family in Korean. Remember, practice these words with your own family in mind. Luna: And if you're a female speaker, use 언니 and 오빠. If you're male, use 누나 and 형. Lucas: Right. And don't forget 엄마 and 아빠 for mom and dad. That's it for today's episode of Learn Korean with Fexingo. Luna: Thanks for studying with us! Practice these words and we'll see you next time. Lucas: Bye bye!
