WEIRD English Expressions Directly Translated from Korean Ones

[@XO-uu8kc]

[@AshelinFox]

If you say that you "promised a friend" it's more of an excuse. So if someone asked to do something with you and you're busy, you could say, "I'm sorry, but I promised my friend we'd..." Hopefully, you actually do have plans with a friend, but I know people who just throw that around to get out of something.

[@siouxempirecoyote8174]

“Digging in,” for Americans instead of tuck in

[@cahinton.]

Yes, agreed. I've never heard "tuck in" before. "Dig in" is very informal and something you'd say to guests at a backyard barbecue or a potluck or to your own family for a simple weekday dinner or something, definitely not a meal that's fancy or elaborate.

[@Meimoons]

Dangerous Person For fancy outings or dinners, we might say “enjoy your meal” but even that’s rare.

[@RainbowQuartz2.0]

Dangerous Person I’ve heard tuck in. In my part of the USA we say tuck in.

[@cornishpasty4344]

We say 'stuck in' in the UK as well and 'dig in' depends where you're from regionally

[@jamiegomm5695]

I’ve heard both “tuck in” and “dig in” in the mid west.

[@isaacevilman7586]

With the “go/come slowly” one, a way to say goodbye is “take care,” which sorta feels the same, I think...

[@AshelinFox]

Or if someone is going on a trip, we would tell them "safe travels," which has the same feel to it.

[@w8ing4someday]

Yeah that was the most uncommon one I would say. You could also say "Be Careful", "Be Safe" or "Come Home Safely".

[@O2life]

In Texas, "Y'all come back, now, y'hear?"

[@Someday_Maybe-pn3th]

If the person is driving drive safely is another one

[@lifeofjohn3993]

Yeah for sure when you are saying goodbye to someone saying like "have a safe trip" is totally normal 😂😂 here though when you are going to meet friends or hanging out with the buddies for some gaming "come/go slowly" is used quite often

[@finalcountdown3210]

There's this sort of awkward phase most kids go through where they have to stop saying "Play" and start saying "Hang out." If a friend said, "You wanna come and play at my house?" I'd be like, "We don't say 'play,' we're cool now! We're gonna hang out!"

[@lifeofjohn3993]

Good memory! I can't remember when we changed but I'm guessing it was in middle school when everyone wants to be cooler ha ha

[@montanerdz]

It was during the years where our play changed from roller skating outside and pokemon to homemade facemasks and talking about boys that I feel like it changed from "play" to "hang out" in my experience. And also what you said lol middle school

[@AlM22]

I never even thought about that but wow that’s true

[@Ninja_Geek]

Unless it's used in the context of video games, at least back before online multiplayer was popular. I personally use it because my friends and I all get together to play a tcg at our local card shop. I think the most important thing is definitely context. You need a specific reason to use "play" over "meet up" or "hang out" or whatever. Like "we're going to play this video gsmr or card game". Without that context of a game or sport, it just comes off as creepy.

[@finalcountdown3210]

@@Ninja_Geek Well yeah, it does depend on that context. "Play a sport" or "play a game" makes sense because the sport or game is implied. Good clarification!

[@ThatBlackPiano]

The adults/hosts will tell younger people or guests to “Eat up!”, not “tuck in” nor “eat deliciously”. People in America that ask if you’ve eaten are usually grandparents or friends that are hungry and about to go eat and want to invite you to join.

[@sunnystars9162]

I also feel like when someone tells us they don’t feel well, we might also ask them if they’ve eaten so that they can feel better. But idk if that’s just my family cuz we’re Puertorrican

[@TheIndigoLion]

Whenever my boyfriend leaves after coming over I always tell him to be safe, or drive safely. That's what I think of when "come slowly" comes to mind.

[@SortaRicann]

I’ve never heard someone say “eat deliciously” here in America and I’ve lived here all my life lol. People will usually say “dig in” or “eat up”.

[@cornishpasty4344]

Well yeah, the example was a direct translation from Korean so you wouldn't...

[@SortaRicann]

CornishPasty it literally was not. The “American” guy said that’s how we say it. He wasn’t “translating”.

[@trashchan8382]

no “eat deliciously” was directly translated from the korean phrase.

[@NsTheName]

@@SortaRicann Not once did those words leave John's mouth, haha. I just rewatched it to be sure. He said it would be unnatural to say it that way and that in America we'd be more likely to say bon appetite if we did say anything at all. Maybe you got it confused with what Billy was saying? Because in Korea that's what's said before every meal and if directly translated to English, that's what it would mean so they were talking about if English speaking countries said anything like that before eating their meal.

[@Xanderj89]

"Dig in" or "Eat up" would be the Americanisms for that first one, if it's a home cooked meal. The host would indicate when the meal begins, as guests typically wait politely for the host to sit down. If they're a religious family, they might say a short prayer of thankfulness for the meal before they eat. That is not typical while at a restaurant, simply waiting for everyone to be served is considered polite, but the party members without food can indicate they would take no offense if everyone else started, with the aforementioned sayings or simply "Go ahead!" or something to that effect.

[@BradyPostma]

Ooo, I forgot about "Eat up!" Good one!

[@jasminnavarrete6743]

The question of “did you have a meal,” I think has to do with one cultural background. Growing up in a mexican family it is very common to ask if you’ve eaten or have had a meal, especially when you have guest over you usually ask if they’ve eaten.

[@maddwitch]

Yes, but usually you're asking so that you can offer food if they haven't eaten. It sounds like in Korea it more like a conversation starter.

[@billy_on_aire]

Which expression sounds the weirdest to you? Do you have any weird expressions directly translated from your langauge? Let us know! :)

[@robinnembang]

Even though it may sound weird for they are expressions directly translated but they are equally adorable because it is being spoken by Koreans and Koreans have that unbeatable humility in their demeanour.

[@ahmadfauzi5757]

In Malay we called cautious as hati-hati.. Hati as a single word means kidney.. So we can directly translate to kidney-kidney

[@shanumninty3566]

'Amar mon kharap- my mind is sad'😂😂😂. Direct translation but the sentence actually means I am sad or something like that

[@roboticsforlife]

Well it seems that most of the phrases mentioned here are quite similar to phrases used in my language(Sinhalese from Sri Lanka) in those contexts. For an example we seem to use word 'ape' (means 'our') in the same context in the spoken dialect. After all we are asians.

[@brightnight7380]

KoreanBilly's English In Tamil, we never just say go/or I’m going. If you do say that it means you’re leaving in anger. You would say ‘go and comeback. /I’ll go and comeback.’ This means that you are at peace with one another. I guess the origins of this is from the fact that in ancient times, men often went to war. Saying this was ment as a reminder to the men to comeback safely to their families.

In my country we use "tetap semangat" to encourage other. But when it directly translated to english, the word become "keep spirit". It doesn't make sense but *a lot of my friend* still use that word. Edit: tetap semangat = never give up, keep trying or something like that

[@w8ing4someday]

Awww that's really nice. That would be encouraging, although probably more common in the US to say "Stay strong," "You've got this", or "You can do it."

[@michmoe85]

I was wondering why korean adults use the word “play”.. I would hear it a lot while watching kpop artist shows and I was beginning to think that mentally they weren’t growing up.. but that’s good to know it’s just a common word to use in Korea, even as an adult.

[@kuraimegami_rica]

It's the same in Japanese. The word for "to play" also means "to have a good time". So it's not limited to playing games or sth but even just chatting or doing nothing could be described by this, as long as the people involved consider it a positive experience.

[@adamwarlock1]

Yeah English could use something more like this. Even if people are going to play games (video games or board games, not sports) they'll say they're going to "game" rather than to "play".

[@tishaher7]

Billy's English is very good! But there was one thing he said at the end and two of the guests gave a look, when Billy said, "My special friends." In English, "special friend" means a significant other, as in dating, seeing someone romantically, or even just a touch and go fling. So, when he said that, I hope they told him the meaning after the video ended. I think he meant "my guests," or something. His English is still great, so absolutely no hate!!~

[@ahmed38247]

Wait, is it weird? Lol I mean I know that it could mean a significant other but i thought it could also mean "my dear friend" or something?

[@stephsdlnthms3957]

@@ahmed38247 It does sound a little weird, but I think in this context he could get away with it because they're all "special" in that they are foreigners.

As an Asian, we can understand these expressions. We indians also use the same expressions in Hindi. Like "Aaram se aana" translates to Come slowly. N in earlier times, kings used to refer themselves as "hamara" which means Our, as an expression of honour. "Tumne khana kha liya" translates to Have u eaten ur food, which is casually used by people in small talk. Also, "mai apne doston ke saath khelne jaa rhi hun" means i m going to play with my friends, which is used by adults too.

I just realized that this is more of a cultural difference, not really a language difference. I’m not Korean but I understood what those phrases meant. This culture of caring and looking out for others are usually seen in some Asian countries. Thus the phrases, “eat well”, “go and come back carefully”, “treat me well”. Other countries may just translate these phrases literally.

[@yerkebulanalibek2940]

These are the phrases we use in Kazakh and their direct translation into English: “As bolsyn” - “let the meal be” (like bon appétit) I don’t think that we use the words “mum” and “wife” about “country”. We are likely to say “Zher-Ana” - “Mother-Earth” but we call motherland “tugan zher” - “the place of birth”. If a person is going to have a long journey we wish him/her “aq zhol” - “white way”. Aa white colour is associated with “good, holy, pristine”. We can also say “aman-esen zhet/kel” - “arrive/come back safely”. If you want to say “see you soon”, then it’s “koriskenshe” - “until we see each other” or “zhüzdeskenshe” - “until we face each other” (btw face here is literally face 👨). If someone is getting late then we say them “asyqpai tez kel”. This phrase is funny (at least for me) as it means “come fast without hurry”. I think this is so because we say “asyqqan shaitannyng isi” - “being hurried is Satan’s deal”. For a dessert there is the most Kazakh phrase for you: “taiak zheising” which literally means “you are going to eat a stick”. It means “I am going to hit you”.

[@noname-zd6wu]

"Go and come back carefully" we use that in Tamil. It's "Bathrama (carefully) poitu (go and) vanga (come)". But in literal translation it sounds so weird.

[@utha2665]

In Chinese, and I can maybe extrapolate that to Asian culture, asking if you have eaten yet (ni chi guo le ma - 你吃过了吗) is similar to talking about the weather. Come slowly means take your time, in Chinese (man man lai - 慢慢来). An appointment to see a friend we would just say I'm catching up with a friend.

In Vietnamese, we use the term "play" (chơi/đi chơi) for all ages when referring to actually playing (mainly for kids) or going out (for adults). A very common saying for young adults is "ham chơi" which just pretty much means they love to go out or party...a lot. 😁

[@Edengardet]

Could you also directly translate Korean idioms/sayings to English. In Swedish we have a lot of these that would directly translated to English sounds really funny/weird like "Att ana ugglor i mossen" - "to suspect owls in the bog" ("there is a dog berried here") "Ingen ko/fara på taket/isen" - "No cow/danger on the roof/ice" ("there is no danger/nothing dangerous here") "Att glida in på en räkmacka" - "to slide in on a shrimp-sandwich" ("to be privileged and not really having an idea about how the real world works") and many others.

[@Alicettem]

It's interesting how similar it is to Chinese. 吃了吗？have you eaten? 慢慢走 (usually said when you leave a shop, literal meaning "go slowly"), and using the word 玩儿 (play) when referring to hanging out with other adult friends.

[@stephsdlnthms3957]

In the south, when people leave sometimes we say "Be careful" or "Be safe". We also say "Ya'll come back" as an invitation, so you know you're welcome back. And you'll probably be asked if you've eaten if you show up to someone's house - guests should never go home hungry - but it's an actual invitation. If we ask if you eaten, at least in America, it's because we are offering food (or to accompany you to get food) if you haven't.

[@tyleinajohnmark4282]

I thought as a native English speakers (I am 13) we stop saying “I’m gonna go play with a friend” around the age of 10 because that’s when a lot of kids learn “dirty” things. So we stop using play and say hang out, but sometimes even “hangout” sounds “dirty” to some people.

[@leprechaunchan]

One thing that might cause confusion is it’s perfectly acceptable for adults to say “I have a date (with X)’ even if they are not romantically involved. Though the type of date might be specified, such as ‘homework date’. But it just means I’ve made previous arrangements to do something.

Go/come well/slowly: While more familiar than casual use (so perhaps not to someone you don't know well) I think the intent would be carried well with "stay safe" or "safe journeys/trip" to indicate you are hopeful that the individual does not have trouble while traveling or away.

is it not common for other US Americans to say “drive safe”? that’s what we say in Texas... idk if it’s a Mexican thing tho lol like from our Spanish saying “vete con cuidado” which means “go with caution”

[@Luisaa_130]

In Turkish, there is a statement called Go like water, come like water, which means go fast, come fast. We say it to the people you love so much, to the people we want to see again.

[@popcorngoddess89]

"Y'all come back now" is recognized "good-bye" in Texas English.

Come slowly makes me think there is a reason they do not want me to arrive quickly. It would make me think they need to finish cleaning or preparing for a guest, or are otherwise engaged and would welcome the delay. "No rush" or "take your time", even "no worries" would be how I would phrase it, some way to convey that their lateness is not a bother. (USA)

that's so interesting! 😍 luv your channel so much

about "play" one. as adults it could have an innocent and normal usage, i think, if the context is either known or mentioned before. people could play video or board games together, or in a band, or some sport, or chess, or poker etc. but i think what sounds strange about it without any context is that it sounds kinda sexual. like if you were to say you like role-playing you'll probably want to add like "the regular kind, not the sexy kind" if you're talking to someone who doesn't know what's up. and "play" by itself has a bit of that feel too. but as i said, there are plenty of legitimate contexts where it actually wouldn't be that strange.... context is the key in language :)

Someone ask me; do you have a meal? Me: do i look hungry. Mind you i find Korean women very attractive, so i wouln't mind if you share "our" wife

[@calebvalentinegonzales2986]

I still say play and I’m not a kid

[@Luzeldon]

You can "play" another person, but you're just going to get weirded out saying that.

[@dmknight08]

I think they are confusing Korean speakers with this video. “Our” does not exclude the person you are talking to. Like if you ask your spouse, “where do you want to go on our anniversary?”. It can disclose people, but that word relies on context. It is only best explained that it’s a word to include yourself along with another person or certain people.

In South Africa Afrikaans speaking people say 'smaaklike ete' which means have a good meal.

[@knicklichtjedi]

1:12 In germany it would be "Guten Appetit" or less formal "Guten Hunger", where "Guten Appetit" is the direct german tranlation of bon appetit, while "Guten Hunger" is more like "good hunger" where you wish someone enough appitite to finish the entire meal and maybe get a second round.
