Important Hanja: 행 (行) (한자) | Korean FAQ

[@alejandrarivera9130]

Yes, yes, yes! More hanjas videos please ... Btw, hanjas is never lost time!

[@joshlu2440]

Please continue to do more hanja videos! As a Chinese speaker, these are incredibly helpful in a unique way that other videos can’t replicate. Thank you!

[@NUSORCA]

I always thought 行 in 銀行 is derived from the sense a particular occupation as in the proverb ”行行出狀元” or a place for trading like the “十三行” “金行” “洋行” names we take for granted in Conton/HK. Sidenote when 行 is used as a verb meaning “going to”, we pronounce it sorta like “흥”; when it’s used as a noun meaning “a line, 항렬, a place, it’s pronounced “hong”

I love learning hanja and the extra little history lessons are awesome! Please keep doing these videos Billy

[@bintafadiga4265]

you’re definitely not wasting your time, your videos have become a big help especially for intermediate learners!!!

[@bluecandies]

I loooove these videos, little language anecdotes like these is what makes language learning so fun for me, it’s like living history

[@akaigetsu]

I love the history behind the words it actually helps me remember them as well

[@lisaishere0919]

as a mandarin native speaker, this series is really amazing, get to see what meaning get retained or lost in Korean hanja is very interesting and helpful

[@neverforsakenbyhim1]

I get a lot out of your videos. Probably because your American, as I am, so you teach with an American mindset. Or explain all things Korean with your American mindset which I can grasp. Sometimes I watch Korean teaching videos and I just scratch my head. So 감사합니다!!!!

[@baum-jd6zj]

3:55 I LOVE those kind of facts!! And for people who learn such words new, I think it helps a lot remembering it. So please continue searching such stuff ^^ I LOVE IT Thank you Billy

[@starrystudy00]

i crave the hanja videos because there is an over saturation of beginner korean content so it’s very difficult to find advanced learner content like hanja and nuance vocab differences, thank you for these!!!

[@belladona3608]

I really like your hanja videos, because I enjoy the way you teach and it keeps me really entertained. Also I really like when you research and give us details from past eras, Chinese and such, like this mistake with 은행. I'll never forget this word now. Also puns, I love puns, love your dad jokes :D

I genuinely wondered about the existence of this character this morning because I learned about the word 행인!! thank you billy !!

[@峯芽苗]

The Hanja series is super amazing. Idc if they aren’t widely used, as a language nerd learning about these etymological relationships between languages that sound so different is so fascinating. You do a great job making these.

[@holygochujang]

Thanks for these Hanja videos. Definitely something I need to learn more about!

[@rynsacc]

i love these hanja videos!!! please continue them :) they’re super helpful for me as a mandarin speaker - it helps me establish connections between the two languages!

[@michaeltaylor2458]

Thanks! Yes knowing the hanja meaning helps me figure out the meaning of some Korean words. You are a great teacher!!

[@ParkDari]

[@VoVina111]

I love these videos and as someone who's studying both Korean and Chinese, it's even more helpful and fascinating for me! please do more!

[@thetrickster3616]

Please!! More hanja videos, i love learning these! 🥰🥰

[@kfitch42]

감사합니다 빌리 선생님! I love these 한자 videos. I never put together how 비행기, 여행, and 부산행 were related. But now I will definitely never forget these. And I will always chuckle a bit when saying 은행. But, hey like they say, 원숭이도 나무에서 떨어진다.

[@lindamiae]

Been trying to learn Hanja a couple of times actually but never found a way that works for me. This really helps a lot! Would love for you to do more videos of Hanja! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

[@RemovedLancer]

Ah! So going by that logic, 행성(行星) means 'a going (traveling) star'? That makes so much sense in context. Thank you, Billy.

[@Spotlight.Serenade]

Love all the Hanja videos! I watch them immediately when I see it in my notifications! Thank you as always, and the extra background on the characters is so interesting! Thanks x 1000

[@alissedanielle]

please continue making these videos they are not a waste of time at all. Since I’m at a higher level in Korean and starting to learn mandarin It’s so cool being able to make the connections between the characters 😊 your videos not only help me improve my Korean but indirectly help me learn mandarin ☺️☺️🤓 thank you!

[@jamesguan5380]

I love you researching the origin of the Korean words, be it of Chinese or Japanese origin. So please keep doing so! It gives it more depth, and words generally make more sense if we know about their origins, right?

[@thealbinogamer]

i find myself doing the same thing when it comes to learning korean, researching some of the history about words to the point im learning more about the history more than the word itself, but hey its fun sometimes and interesting and actually may help sometimes learning this kind of words i guess it makes sense because learning the history of words helps us build some sort of connection to that word similarly to how we learn what an apple is and have this visualization of what an apple is

[@adrikosmos]

I love learning these things from you! That's part of why you're my favorite Korean-learning channel :)

Very interesting again! Thank you for doing so much research hahah

ok I know you said it's NOT 은행 because it's 'where the silver goes' but that's definitely going to help me remember it so I'm using that one 😂

[@leahobrien3801]

I love this video!

[@twejiddong]

"Why do I always end up having to research stuff about Chinese to do that ?" Maybe because most of Korean vocabulary comes from Chinese ? Whenever I have a doubt about the hanjas in the Korean vocabulary I'm studying, I'm doing the same, going to my Chinese dictionary. And actually I wondered too about that 銀行 pronunciation, because in Chinese, it's yín​háng (so 은항), not yín​xíng (which would mean something else, like 음행 in Korean)... I'll try to fix that next time I'm going to Korea, asking people about the 은항 😀

[@ducphanduy534]

Haha the 부산행 got me 😂😂😂

[@ismailsavas8057]

a great video! ty billy. where can we actually get the background info as in your example 은항? is there a source you can recommend for such etymological gems?

[@GoBillyKorean]

Naver dictionary is a great place to start. Beyond that, searching Naver along with the word "유래" can lead to some interesting results.

[@eve-la-fee]

When you began the explanation for 행/항, I hoped that the "항" in 공항 would be the same hanja, because it's difficult for me to remember 공항 (airport) versus 항공 (aviation, flight).. But looking in the dictionary those "항" are not related to that "행".. and they are actually two different hanjas.. 😭

[@panorama7654]

港 in 공항 means harbor and 航 in 항공 means to set off sailing

[@user-fx6km7ej1x]

How do you deal with loanwords?

[@jingfuwu2401]

dont know why i still dont feel that hanja is part of korean culture.... like hanja has no relation to korean language at all. maybe because korean is written entirely in hangul, unlike japanese, which kanji is still used.

[@GoBillyKorean]

You can learn more about how they're connected here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXa4o2uqbMZqsKM

[@light8436]

Hanja absolutely has relation to the Korean language and culture. The etymology of the Korean language was heavily influenced by Chinese languages. There are even more Chinese loan/similar words in Korean than there are English Lone words in Korean. Of course Hangul is waaaayy more central to Korean culture though.

[@ryusmm928]

은행 pronunciation is quite close to 银行 (yinhang) tho lol
