Can Koreans read Hanja(Chinese characters)?? [KOR/ENG sub]

[@keilchar]

The encouraging message at the end was actually so sweet and made me feel really warm inside, learning Korean is worth it on its own but those positive messages just kind of reminded me of how worth it it really is so thank you! 🥰

[@JohnWilson-q3t]

There is an ancient book in the Korean Museum that says: South Korea has no characters, and China lends Chinese characters to South Korea. Koreans can't understand them, but they treat them as treasures, hahah! There are complete archaeological records about Dongyi in China. Ancient historical documents: Dongyi has nothing to do with today's South Korea. There are cultural relics in the South Korean Museum, the North Korean Museum, and the Chinese Museum. It is recorded that the ancestors of the South Koreans are Chinese. Jizi, the South Koreans can't understand, but they talk nonsense on the Internet

The grandpa was so cute!! I like his suggestion of finding the common words parts that you see a lot and learning the meanings of those parts in Hanja

[@alchemist_one]

Yeah. He seemed both knowledgeable and very reasonable.

[@randallstephens1680]

I find studying 한자 useful for learning Korean vocabulary because it makes the vocabulary so much less arbitrary and easier to remember, but reading and writing the Chinese characters isn't necessary.

[@manta_korean]

then how do you study it? 🧐

[@zirize]

So true, the role of Chinese characters in Korean is similar to that of Greek and Latin in English, specially in formal and academic vocabulary.

[@Yarxk-j7w]

Not necessary in lower level, but in higher level, all languages need huge amount of nouns to identify the meaning, Korean speakers have no choice but to borrow it from other languages.

[@zirize]

@@Yarxk-j7w In fact, Korean can also create new words without borrowing Chinese characters, using only pure Korean words. North Korea is even more enthusiastic about this than South Korea. However, the primary reason Chinese characters remain prevalent lies in their efficiency. Each character carries at least one meaning, allowing for concise two- or three-letter words. Conversely, pure Korean terms often require several letters to convey meaning, leading to longer, sometimes five- or six-letter words, which can be cumbersome for everyday use.

汉语、日语、韩语都存在大量同音字和同音词，没有汉字的话很容易有歧义的。汉语拼音、日语平假名片假名、韩语都只是一个声音符号而已，如果你觉得汉字没有必要，那么说明你还不了解这三门语言的底层逻辑。

[@계약서깠따구]

@@JohnWilson-q3t Korea has Hangul, and even before Hangul was created, Koreans developed a unique writing system using Korean-styled Chinese characters, like Idu, as part of their language. What you’re saying disregards the natural exchange of script and culture and the unique development of a linguistic system. This can be inferred from King Sejong’s Hunminjeongeum (훈민전음) preface, which begins, “The language of the country differs from that of China.” The term Dongyi (東夷) you mentioned was a broad term used in ancient East Asia to refer to various ethnic groups, and the groups it referred to differed depending on the era and region. Therefore, Dongyi doesn’t necessarily have no relation to Korea, nor does it exclusively refer to Koreans. What you’re claiming is not academically sound. Initially, Dongyi was a way of looking down on other ethnic groups. Saying that Koreans' ancestors were Chinese is also incorrect. The Han Chinese (漢族) and the Samhan people (三韓族) were clearly distinct ethnic groups. The Korean people originated from a fusion of the Yemaek people, who lived in southern Manchuria and northern Korea, and the Samhan tribes, who lived in the southern Korean peninsula. Therefore, what you’re saying is neither academically nor historically accurate. I’m not sure if you’re just uninformed or brainwashed, but here we have a saying: "Turns out, the country you insulted was your own." This is for you. You're a clueless, ignorant person in a group of fools, too foolish to even fact-check. Thank you.

It was two different ethnic groups. 1.Chinese (Han Ethnic)(Wear color and pattern clothes) - Ruler and nobleman 2. Korean (White Clothes Ethnic)( Wear white clothes without pattern) - Civilians and slaves 1.Chinese - Ruler and nobleman (Goguryeo , Baekje, Silla , Goryeo, Joseon=Chaoxian朝鮮 ..): Chinese local officials and nobles (royal members, monks, scholars, soldiers, architects, technicians, and their families ...). They are Chinese (Han) and their descendants born in the local area. They have always wore China in China costumes. They speak Chinese language (official and Han dialect) and Chinese characters. They are Chinese officials and represent the Chinese emperor's governance of the ancient Korean Peninsula (朝鮮). Local Chinese officials (Chaoxian king朝鮮王) and Chinese nobles in ancient Korea (Chaoxian 朝鮮-Chinese territory). They all Chinese clothes (hanfu), headdress (hat and crown), silk cloth (including embroidery), soldiers (such as: defensive clothing, horses). Weapons (including cannons), Chinese literature books (including Chinese history, Taoism Buddhism), Chinese special architectural materials (including palaces and design paintings). Food materials (Chinese food and Chinese royal food), wooden wheels used, large military ships, etc. are made from other cities in China). Among them, the Chinese royal's (Chaoxian king /officials and nobles) Hanfu comes from Chinese han clothes, opera clothing, and hat crown headwear. Therefore, the fabric on the clothes is high -level. There are a large number of Chinese official dragon patterns and various traditional Chinese patterns (including Chinese characters) on the clothes. 2. Korean - Civilians and slaves (Goryeo, Joseon=Chaoxian朝鮮 ..only appeared in history after the 13th century): Civilians and slaves are indigenous Koreans (White Clothes Ethnic白衣民族). They speak Korean language. Long -term banned learning and use of Chinese characters 漢字(except a few descendants of mixed with Chinese people). Korean people cannot use any pattern of Chinese imperial power. 龍dragon and 鳯phoenix. In ancient times, this was a beheading and destroyer. * Chinese patterns and Dragon's totem represents the symbol of the ancient Chinese and Chinese power. Korean people cannot use any pattern of Chinese imperial power. 龍dragon and 鳯phoenix. Only the Chinese royal family and senior officers can use it. If the "White clothes Ethnic 白衣民族" (today's ancestors of Koreans) use the pattern of dragon and use Chinese characters. They will destroy the tribe and beheaded. Korean characters韓字 are text used by slaves. Ancient Korean can only use Korean characters (after the 15th century. Chinese officials - Chaoxian king and Chinese scholars who settled on the Chaoxian朝鮮 . Chinese officials use Chinese characters and Korean language to create "Korean characters韓字 ".) for slaves. These low Korean soldiers are used to protect the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島(Chinese territory) to prevent Japanese pirates from invasion. In ancient Korea (Chaoxian朝鮮 ) does not have any technologies and processes such as metal , Bend the wood and dye embroidery patterns. Most Korean men became low -level soldiers in the Chinese army (under the command of Chinese officers). There is no armor. Korean only wear pure white clothes and korean women's clothing is exposed nipples (Hanbok - Features of traditional Korean clothes).Westerners Record photos. All Korean women use their heads to move anything (similar to other primitive tribal culture). Korean houses are cottage built with grass (only Chinese can live in Chinese palaces and temples). Korean people earn food in the market concentrated on exchanging items. They do not have any coins and any metal things. South Korea's national culture and tools for use are very primitive. Writing history is the tradition and habit of the ancient Chinese official . The history of the ancient Korean Peninsula was written by classical Chinese. This was read for the Chinese and must be approved for the Chinese emperor. This is a record and governance story of Chinese officials and nobles on the ancient Korean Peninsula.

its interesting how they got 幸 and 辛 confused! the written characters are quite similar looking. as a cantonese speaker, we use Chinese script as well, so I get the mixed up too, even if they sound different. its also cool to see how so many hanja are pronounced similarly to cantonese! 幸hang6 and 辛san1 感gam2 約joek3 束cuk1 what was really interesting is that because as a person who uses Chinese characters in my daily life, seeing these familiar korean words in their hanja form really gives the word another meaning, such as "sorry" literally translated to "not at rest", "hello" into "peace and tranquil", "plans" into "promises". wonderful video! thank you so much! definitely going to be very useful/advantageous to learn korean-hanja words!

約束 also means "promise" in Korean, it just depends on the context. "約束 時間에 커피숍에 到着했는데, 그女는 아직 오지 않았어요." "I've arrived at coffee shop the promised/agreed upon time, but she still hasn't come yet."

This is really interesting to me. I am a native English speaker but have studied Japanese for 20 years and learned basic Mandarin Chinese as a very young kid. So for me, it's so helpful knowing which Hanja correspond to Korean words when I'm learning Korean. I know all 3 of those languages do differ in the usage of the Chinese characters, but even having a bit of context from any of them can be a huge help in associating meanings. I feel like knowing Japanese already gave me a head start on a ton of very similar vocabulary, and I can even guess a lot of Korean words based on context, after just learning a bit of the grammar. Following along with the video, "promise" and "thanks" were so easy, even as a new Korean learner, due to this. I think I'd agree with those in the video who said if you already know the characters, it can definitely aid your learning, because that's been my experience so far. (Although, as I'm not a native Japanese or Chinese speaker, I do have the cursed situation where I see new words written in Chinese characters now and I end up reading them the Korean way sometimes, despite being in a Japanese or Chinese sentence context... Gotta be careful haha...)

[@barbiebarbie1813]

The history of Japan and Koreans propaganda is serious fraud (all ancient tombs and cultural relics, and they have never been disclosed to study international experts). Their fake history is promoted by themselves to the outside world. Japan's denies that Nanjing massacre南京大屠殺 . Korea denies that real Hanbok(Traditional clothing) is white and a Korea woman clothing 's show nipples and woman moving things with her head (Historical photos taken by Westerners) before 1910. Korean people have made a lot of fake black & white historical photos. Not announce the real history out. And control a lot of network fake information. Because modern Japanese and Koreans want to seize a large number of Chinese tombs and cultural relics unearthed (more than 2000 years ago) in Japan and Korea (including local historical records written by local Chinese). They fabricated a large number of fake Japanese and Korean history and cultural propaganda. Let all foreigners think that Japan and ancient Korea have been strong and independent countries since ancient times (gain more foreigners worship. Create more fake historical proofs, such as: adapting textbooks/animation/historical TV series ....). They use many Chinese history and culture as publicity as their history and culture. Nuclear brainwashing citizens and all foreigners (through the United States to suppress China's right to speak and influence, support the influence and fake information promotion of Japan and South Korea.), Including brainwashing, many young Chinese people have been brainwashed. --------------------------- After the World War II, the Japanese proposed the so -called "Chinese character cultural area 漢字文化圈". Promoting "ancient Japanese" uses Chinese characters 漢字 and Classical Chinese 文言文 (including Chinese culture). They promoted the "Tang Dispatched personnel 遣唐使" as ancient Japanese. They study culture and technology in China. Koreans promoted that ancient Korea was an independent country. Their king and nobles were Korean but used Chinese (but real history , Korean king regarded Korean characters as slaves characters) and they wearing Chinese clothes (hanfu). Promoted that Ancient Korean can entering and leaving China. They go to China to learn all Chinese cultures (EX: Chinese Palace Design ). This is a huge lie in itself. Now Vietnam also uses the same method to make a history of fake history. There is no record of any history. The ancient Chinese official have taught Chinese characters漢字 (classical Chinese文言文) and various Chinese technologies (including Chinese architecture, Palace Design and weapon technology) to "ancient Japanese and Korean" (ancient Chinese call them "barbarians").If this is true, it is a huge international historical event. There will definitely be a detailed historical record. Ancient Chinese emperor could not do this (provide all Chinese characters漢字 and various technologies to the any barbarians). Chinese characters 漢字communicate with the ancient Chinese peoples (different Han dialects ). It is also an important message characters / texts for ancient Chinese official documents. A huge country like China. Let the "barbarians (non-Han peoples非漢人)" know the official Chinese information. It is a very dangerous thing (including Chinese clothes- hanfu and Chinese technology). In ancient times, the Chinese emperor only needed to send a group of Chinese elites and soldiers (in the later period, a number of Han women漢女 would be moved to the local area). The Chinese elites go to barbaric areas such as Japan and Korea. They establish a Chinese regime in barbaric areas (Chinese territory - the Chinese emperor will name the name of China in this barbaric region) . This is also the practice that ancient Chinese officials used to occupy the place.

한국어를 공부하는데 한자는 필요없고 시간낭비입니다. 한국인 95%이상이 한자를 알지 못하고 점점 더 배척하는 중입니다. 한국에서 한자를 잘 아는 사람은 한국인이 아닌 외국인일 확률이 높습니다. 한국인한테 한자 10개를 쓰라고 했을 때 제대로 쓸 수 있는 사람 5%도 안 됩니다. 중국과 일본과의 관계가 좋지 않기 때문에 점점 더 한자를 싫어하고 배척하는 경향성이 짙어지고 있습니다.

At the same time, numerous Chinese vocabularies came into Korea and Japan, and many of them are still widely used in their daily language speakings.

It was interesting, but not surprising, I talked to many Korean people and told me the same. Only for those who study at higher level need knowing hanja.

Very interesting series. Thank you! I imagine that learning hanja is similar to understanding Latin root words. My mother insisted I learn Latin. It means that while reading texts both in English (as well as Spanish or Italian) I can often figure out the meaning of unknown words. I’ll have to work on my hanja skills. I can only recognize door and child. 😅

난 한국인이지만 일본어랑 중국어를 공부하다보니 또래에 비해서 한자를 많이 알고 있는 편이긴 함. 문제는 일본 중국 한자는 약체자, 간체자라서 한국에서 쓰는 번체자는 가끔 사전 찾아봐야 할 때도 있음. 그러다 80년대 이전에 발행된 책이나 잡지 기사 읽다보면 헬파티가 열리는거지 ㅠㅠ

한자쓰면 무조건 중국인 조선족 이소리하는애들 그냥 싸대기 갈겨도 무죄임. 키릴문자와 로마자도 국가와 민족에따라 살짝식 모양이 다르듯 한자도 일본은 신체자쓰고 같은 중화권이어도 중국과 대만은 문자 생긴거 자체가 완전 달라서 그냥 구분이 바로됨.

Thanks for making this video! I can see that the older generation can read more Hanja than the younger generation and some high schoolers said they hate to learn Hanja...😅 I hope the geopolitical factors will not be one of the reasons they hate to learn Hanja... because kanji is also used in modern Japanese language.

지정학적인 이유가 아니더라도 한자는 한국에서 아무 쓸모가 없다. 중국, 일본에 가서 살 것이 아니라면 한국에선 한자를 1개도 몰라도 사는데 아무 지장이 없다. 오히려 시간낭비다.

[@Bulu-nu3ep]

My first language is Chinese and knowing Hanja is definitely helping me in Korean learning! Words derived from Hanja usually sound very similar to Chinese, especially dialects in the southern China.

[@Junkyard_Shaman]

As I am learning Korean now after Japanese, mostly through Japanese, I wished Korean would use hanja more because that would make learning soooo much faster. I took a look at an old poetry book with hanja and it felt strange that I could understand the whole meaning and nuance of the poems, but couldn't read a single word, hah. It took me a couple of months to realize that 감사합니다 is actually 感謝してます and if I would have seen the kanji/hanja once before I wouldn't have forgotten it even once. So to me part of the difficulty of reading is, that it kinda looks like Japanese written only in hiragana all the time. Really slow to internalize.. yet.

70년대 후반생이고 문제는 다 맞췄지만, 뒷쪽의 한자들은 문장이 없었다면 못 맞췄을 겁니다. 요즘은 한자 표기가 거의 없어서 한자를 몰라도 큰 불편함은 없지만, 한자를 어느정도 알고 있다면 새로운 단어를 들었을때 의미를 이해하거나 유추하는데 도움이 됩니다.

95년생인데 한자를 쓸줄은 몰라도 배워서 뜻을 알고 읽을줄은 알아야한다고 생각합니다. 요즘 맨날 어린애들 문해력이 부족하다 소리 나오는데, 결국 어휘력이 떨어지니 한 문장에 모르는 단어가 많아 내용을 유추할 수 없는거라고 생각함. 본인도 국어 반타작하다가 한자를 3달 열심히 공부하고 그 후로 90점 이상만 받은 경험을 생각하니 요즘 한자로 적힌게 없어도 단어의 대부분이 한자 기반이라 영향이 크다고 생각함.
