Funny Korean Idioms You Should Know! - Part 1 (ft. Korean Jream)

[@talktomeinkorean]

Thank you Jream so much for taking the time to visit us and film this lesson with us!!! 👍🏻 🎉 Everyone, please do us a favor and subscribe to her channel: kzbin.info 😃 And an important note: we made a typo in her name at 0:01 because her last name is not Kim. Sorry Jream for changing your family name without your consent 😢🤦🏻‍♂️ We'll have your name correctly displayed in Part 2, which is another reason that everybody should watch the follow-up video!

[@simmibaggan7860]

Hi, Can you please suggest me the playlist of your videos from where i have to start. I wanna to start from beginning.

[@KoreanJream]

Thank you so much for having me on your channel! I had so much fun filming this video, and I can confidently say “please stay tuned for the part 2”! 2편도 기대해 주세요! 😉 It was also so wonderful to meet TTMIK teachers and team that day! 💜 제가 현우 선생님께 “입에 침이 마르게” 계속 말씀드렸지만 다시 한 번 너무 감사해요! “기가 막힌” 경험이었어요!

I am 75 and decided, durid Covid, to learn something difficult that would tax my brain. My grandson introduced me to TTMIK while he was studying his 1st year degreee at university. I'm totally absorbed by this language and have immersed myself in the book TTMIK level one as well as watching all the kdramas, listening to all Korean music on spotify and tuning on to Korean news. I find it all fascinating and well worth all the hours I spend. I'm up to lesson 16 and loving every minute. Thank you for helping with your youtube programmes.

[@talktomeinkorean]

That’s amazing!!! 대단하세요 ^^ Keep it up!

[@shinchunmi5090]

[@kianastaples7492]

Actually 배가 아프다 is one I really didn't expect! I've learned Korean for a while but always assumed that as an idiomatic expression that would mean something else (probably because I've never seen the full idiom!) As I get more advanced this type of video is really interesting for me hehe 재미있는 영상을 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다~~~~

[@KoreanJream]

맞아요!!! ‘배가 아프다’는 그냥 배 아프다는 뜻으로 많이 쓰이죠! 재미있게 봐 주셔서 감사합니다! 🥰 I can see how its idiomatic usage is surprising BECAUSE we use its literal meaning so much from the beginning level! 😀 Idioms become so useful as you advance, so I am happy to hear the video was fun to you! 😍

[@yunjeongkim3034]

As a Korean, I think these're very useful Korean expressions

[@cherylschaeffer7832]

Loved seeing you both together. You have great chemistry... very fun feel to your collabs (hoping you'll do more of them). I think idiomatic expressions in any language can be very difficult for learners, but eventually they are important because you will hear them. These were very interesting and I'm looking forward to part 2. 할 수 있어요~~

[@KoreanJream]

감사합니다, 셰릴 님!!! 🙏 I agree! Idioms are challenging, but yeah people use them so often! I think once you learn them and see them on TV for instance, you remember them better! 😃

I like this method of learning Korean. Back when I used to go to church for Korean School I LOATHED every mili-second of it. We had to literally write down each of the alphabets 500x and combine the words and such then kind of translate what the words we made (I think). But in the hindsight, I should've been more patient back then.

I really didn't expect that "배가 아프다" means "I'm jealous". In Japan, we often say "I have a stomachache/abdominal pain (배가 아프다, お腹が痛い)" when we hear the funny story that makes us laugh so mach that the abdominal muscle hurts. Alternatively, we say "I feel tightness in my stomach (위가 쓰리다, 胃が痛い)" when we feel nervous.

[@Pokephosgene]

배가 아프다 could be a hint at something common- linking bile ducts with anger or jealousy. This happens in northern Uralic languages- linking the word for bile, poison, anger, and hatred with the color green, and then with envy. In English, that last part stuck around. But this Korean expression is sort of dangerous. Many people can feel stomach pains. If they say the sentence, someone might misinterpret it badly.

[@derpderp9281]

In Brazil, the expression we have for 바람 맞다 is "dar bolo", literally 'to give cake' XD I guess this idiom just doesn't make much sense in any language

[@KoreanJream]

I heard someone say "손이 많이가요" when they were telling me that they were very busy. Is that also an interpretation of the idiom?

Yeah, you can use it that way which is similar to the second meaning we introduced: something or someone highly demanding your attention 🙂 이번 프로젝트는 손이 너무 많이 가요. 피곤해요. This project is so demanding (requires lots of detailed work). So tiring.
