I heard a ridiculous story about an old korean lady who didn't speak any english saying something containing the word 'niga' to a (non-korean-speaking) black guy on the subway in korea, and he thought it was a racial slur and got pissed off, and she didn't know why he was angry so she got angry as well and started saying 'niga' more. i kind of love how bad the respective impressions must have been... 'i went to korea and a lady who knew no english called me the n-word' vs 'i asked a foreigner on the tube to move his bag and he got really rude and angry'. absolute shitshow

[@Ara_mei]

I also heard a similar story for Chinese, but at a fast food restaurant. It is because 那个 is supposed to be pronounced na4ge but most pronounce it as nei4ge. It's commonly used in Chinese because it is a filler word like um.

[@user-oy5hb5nq5h]

I'd say ni-ga has a strong 'ga' sound, while the n word is more of... ni-guh?

[@johnnygoodmo898]

Is this story even real, because slowly but surely it's bringing out the xenophobes. Now, let me ask - why would a 할머니 use "familiar" language with a total stranger? In my limited knowledge, even with age difference, she would likely address him as 아저씨, or totally avoid using "you" all together - as is common among strangers. And, if she was indeed offended, then why didn't she switch to 당신? So, I am suspicious of this story, and even more suspicious behind the motives of the individual who posted "a ridiculous story."

Some people use it to show increase there social class of to look mightier than other people.But it is not all the time some might just use this word to sound sophisticated or they just have the habit of saying it like this and if you say humari or hum instead of meri or main people might ask why you say like this.

I came here for the title & was not disappointed. Thank you for clarification on that.

[@themotherbrassica]

The usage of 우리 in the question here is very similar to one usage of the word うち (uchi) in Japanese, so I find it useful to think of it in terms of the speaker's in-group. That in-group could be the family (うちの娘 my/our daughter) or some other social group (うちの会社 my/our office). English doesn't have quite as much emphasis on in-groups and out-groups as Japanese and Korean, but "us vs them" mentality is the closest English equivalent I can think of. But at least for the Japanese word, you can use it to indicate a sense of belonging to a particular unit or group, which can be quite useful.

As a Korean I can confirm they sound same. When I was young, I was also curious about the difference of ㅔ and ㅐ, then I learned they sound just same, so it's hard to discriminate when to use ㅐ or ㅔ(so Koreans discrimate similar words with ㅐ/ㅔ based on context. We often make mistakes) Long time ago when Hangul first made, ㅐ and ㅔ had diffenent sounds, but now they don't

Huh, I never knew Korean had an inclusive and exclusive "we." I actually discovered this construct for the first time when learning about Tagalog. As much as I've studied Korean, I never came across that.. I did know that Korean tend to use 우리 in a lot of situations where an English speaker would use "my," but I always just figured that was because Korea is much more of an inclusive, group-oriented culture whereas most English speaking countries tend to be individualistic.

[@kims_kitchen]

The thing with '우리' is very tricky and without a full understanding of what 우리 means, can sound very strange when a person study the Korean language. My school teacher explained to me that 우리 is probably used due to 3 main reasons (of course it's just an opinion and not a fact, however, it has enough logic to believe) : 1. has a deep root into Korean culture, when people were living in different villages separated by walls (도 - 군 - 읍 - 면 - 리) and they were referring to all people as a unity, a group, that's why:우리 아내, 우리 남편...somehow translated to "my wife living in our village". Same for 우리 나라. 2. can be from the indirect way of addressing to others in Korean culture. If one person says to other, maybe older: 저의 남편, 저의 아내..can sounds rude by showing who has the possession which in Korean culture is a rude thing. 3. people can use 우리, especially when they refer to a family member (i.e:우리 엄마, 우리 동생,우리 남편) and have the meaning "our mother which is our family member). In the Korean language, there are too many things that cannot be translated or explained in other languages, however, by having a little knowledge of Korean history, culture, society, and habits, can make you understand better what a Korean wants to express.

[@user-Ou38uwHZ3]

Because Korean is Isolated Language. Ironically, The things you mentioned about is actually can be perfectly translated into Japanese one-by-one, Which is one of the famous country using Isolated Languages.

[@widya108]

And in some cases, using the word 'our' to show ownership of one people is also a common practice in Indonesia. It show humility, that the posession is not MINE but OURS.

I figured it was just sort of a colloquial pronunciation, but I didn't realize it was literally 100% used. That'll save me from embarassment in the future haha.

In modern Korean pronunciation, the vowel 'ㅐ' in "내가[nea-ga] (meaning 'I')' and 'ㅔ' in "네가[ne-ga] (meaning 'You')' is not distinguished. In the past, there was a difference in the height of the sound, but now it has disappeared. For that reason, the word "니가[ni-ga] (meaning 'You')" was chosen to distinguish it from "내가[nea-ga] (meaning 'I')". I think the word "네가" is only alive in written language and is almost dead in spoken language.

[@mdv8499]

OMG You are such a superb and talented teacher!!! Not everyone can teach!! I always enjoy listening to you. Like good narrative writers.

[@Neky_Hina]

One of easy ways to distinguish "네가[niga]" from n-word is, in Korean, 니 and 가 both sound short and have equall pitch, or 가 has higher pitch. For example: 니가[niga] or 니가[niga↗]. On the other hand, the N-word in English, "ni" of it sounds *longer and higher* like [nii↗gah↘] than that of Korean. In short, the pitch is opposite.

[@linoswater]

it’s all about intonation in korean pronunciation and it’s driving me *nuts*

[@lkj2727]

IMO This is actually a very dangerous comment considering the importance of misunderstanding a racist word. There are lots of dialects in Korea, and people in the region area can pronounce 니가 in different tones. I have seen lots of people who pronounce 니 with higher pitch. It is all about the context when distinguishing N-word and 니가.

Thanks for this video. BTW, evidently, in Korean, the word "together" is used a lot. It's not normally used in English unless it's necessary for clarification. For example, "Let's eat the food you brought" doesn't require clarification as "Let's" indicates "together." Using "together" sounds unnatural. My students here in Busan do this all the time, which is just one more reason I discourage them from translating. Here's an example of when "together" is necessary: A: Are you going to the party? B: Yeah. Do you want to go together?

[@user-ez5vq9fd2t]

Don't quote me on this, but I think 맞었어요 is used when you're addressing the person who got it right while 맞헜어요 is used when referring to a 3rd party who got it right.

[@keiralee7388]

Actually, you have to say 맞'았'어요 and 맞'혔'어요. 맞히다 is a causative verb form of 맞다 and it needs an object. Also, 맞다(맞았다) has so many different meanings but 맞히다 usually means 'guess right', or 'hit (the target)' For example, "내가 맞았어요" means "I am(was) right", "I was hit (by someone)", or more. "내가 맞혔어요"

Give you guys a tip as a Korean----- You should be cautious about using '니가'. You can use 니가 to your close friend but it seems quite rude to use 니가 to someone who is not close even if they're in similar ages with you.

[@heezharmdee5884]

ab cd Then what shall I use instead then? Since using 네가 would be confusing

@@heezharmdee5884 The OP wasn't differentiating between 니가 and 네가. Both are banmal, casual language, and you're not supposed to use casual language with someone you're not very close with, even if they are the same age. You have to use the formal form, the one with -mnida, if he's a stranger, or the polite form, the one with -yo, if he's someone you know but you're not buddies with (for instance a colleague).

[@jihokim7220]

@@heezharmdee5884 Sorry for replying super late! You can use 네가 or 너가. 네가 does sound like 내가, but Koreans will know that you meant 네가 in the context of conversation. To be more exact, 니가 is usually not offensive for people who are from 경상 province, but it can be a bit offensive for people who aren't from there. Keep it up with studying Korean. You can ask me more questions if you want!

I also have a question for you how to say good bye known as leaving and going in Korean?

[@ultimatenaruhinafan]

Alicia Gogue 안녕히가세요- Goodbye (When you are staying or both persons are leaving) 안녕히계세요- Goodbye (When you are leaving and the other person stays)

[@aliciagogue2223]

감사합니다

Here's some very common ways to say goodbye and not sound very formal/strange, usually used when talking to your friends: 안녕 [an-nyeong] - goodbye 잘가(요) [jal-ga-(yo)] - literally means 'go well', but means more like bye 다음에 봐(요) [da-eu-me bwa-(yo)] - see you next time 나중에 봐(요) [na-joong-e bwa-(yo)] - see you later 들어가(요) [deu-reo-ga-(yo)] - literally means 'go inside', it is used when someone is going home *obviously drop the "yo 요" for banmal or casual speech.

This morning I saw this video about 맞히다 and 맞추다 difference and while I was watching the 10th ep. of "날 녹여주오" there was the scene with receiving/getting injection: - when she was asked if she got injection: 주사는? (and what about injection, did you get it), she answered: 맞았어요, translated as: I got one. WIthout the TTMK video this kind of information would just pass me by and this is exactly how you shift to higher levels while learning a language and how you get yours "AHA effects". Thank you TTMK team! :)

니가[ni-ga] is actually dialect 네가[ne-ga] is the Korean standard language.
