[Pagoda One] Korean-style English Words Koreans Use Every Day Part 3

[@dabien1]

I think in Australia we say 'band-aid' for the sticky thing and 'bandage' for the cloth you wrap around injured limbs.

[@pagodaone_5697]

Oh! I c! You are from Australia? We will have a great Australian Walter coming soon joining our video! Thank you!

[@jadelynelle218]

Same for US

[@TotemoGaijin]

Same for the U.S. But I'd also add that when I hear plaster, I think of the white powder you mix with water to do things like fixing cracks in a wall, or when you break an arm, a cast is made by applying plaster to the cloth bandage to harden it up.

[@r9l5k]

When I hear the word 'pension' I don't think of a building, I think of government handouts. In Australia, when someone is old, or if they are disabled, they qualify to receive a regular small income from the government. This is called a pension. I was very confused when I first heard it in Korea!

[@MelC-St.A]

Same, in Canada a pension is a retirement fund, so I was highly confused. And for a holiday home we use cottage.

[@kiradotee]

I like how Sam always gives the benefit of the doubt with "What?". 😂 Feels like he's trying to genuinely see what people mean before making a decision (slapping or running 😄).

[@pagodaone_5697]

haha! that's where his charm comes from :) Sam's sarcasm

[@livingaschantelle2997]

Slapping or running was just a joke 😂😉

[@weronikamarzec2792]

I wish you were my English teachers! I am Polish, I don't speak Korean but I love watching these videos anyway just to listen to you speaking English. I study so much from you about differences between accents, thank you for what you're doing! Keep going :)

[@pagodaone_5697]

Thank you Weronika! Welcome to our channel. we will be uploading at least once a week for your update :) Have a great day!

[@WillemKok1963]

Hi Guys, "Pension" is the German word for guest house or B&B. So I guess the Koreans get it from the Germans. It is pronounced Pansion in german.

[@pagodaone_5697]

Hi Willem Kok, Thanks for the info! we might have gotten it from Germans :)

[@Robob0027]

Also used in French as a guest house and in Italian "pensione"

[@minseoklee497]

Thanks for uploading this. One question: what is the British version of “vacation” then? Holiday?

[@pagodaone_5697]

Thank you for your comment Minseok! British use Holiday more :)

[@BloodAx13]

I would add that in Italy they use pensione to mean a small hotel or guesthouse. So it seems that the word may be of European origin.

[@kevinhananto3884]

Right, to be precise it's from German

[@Robob0027]

@@kevinhananto3884 I don't think so. More likely to be from French.

[@angiehowie9149]

See, this is where someone would say “Fight” but then we might have some confused Koreans...

[@Char10tti3]

Ah "hotchkiss" is like how we use "Hoover" for vacuum cleaner in the UK.

[@TotemoGaijin]

Oh, is it a brand? It's not one I've ever heard of, unlike Hoover.

[@puggsincyberspace]

Australia always uses Band-Aid, never plaster. Pension means the social security benefits you get when you retire...

[@adityacarlos3929]

Pension in India would be generally used for the payment you get after retirement from equity funds or investments you've done during job (generally government workers or amry people)

[@palmtree1958]

4:22 4:27 Sam CLEARLY said "USE 'Social Media'; that's the more commonly used [term]" and not NEW Social Media.

[@shav748]

"only time im running is when somethings chasing me" that got me chantelle 🤣🤣

[@이선숙-w2i]

Thanks for the video, that is very useful for me.

[@ゆうじゅん-e9i]

Interestingly,almost all words introduced as Korean-style English words are commonly used in my country,Japan too! We have own word for plaster,or band-aid and we use gym,instead of health,but everything else,introduced in this video as Korean-English is exactly same in Japan. Japanese language has less vowels,compared to Korean English and Afrikaans,and we put vowel sound on every consonant,so it sounds different from Korean-English. However,if you pronounce those words in this video,as if you were a Japanese speaker,the words are exactly same.

[@bertinanathasha8662]

Awesome... Waiting to see more videos..... Fighting!!!!!

[@Funwaves7920]

Hi John, First thanks a lot for your useful videos 🤩 Second, I've got question from your conversation. What is the meaning of the catch on here in your conversation? I learned catch on as phrasal verb but I noticed you have used it as a noun when talking about SNS.

[@lifeofjohn3993]

Great question! Here I said "I want to make it catch on." So I still used it as a verb (but because I said it so fast it was hard to hear ㅠㅠ) I don't think "catch on" is ever a noun. You are right, it's a phrasal verb! :)

[@TotemoGaijin]

Trendy

[@Char10tti3]

Ah I like the idea of using SNS, especially with things like WhatsApp and messenger apps being considered "social media" because I don't automatically think of them like that, so being closer to SMS makes sense too. I remember speaking to a professor who said that we used to say "social network" more before "social media", so they think it will change a lot, especially to get away from negative connotations of the words.

[@Jeni10]

Band-aid is a combination of two words, bandage and first-aid.

[@angiehowie9149]

One of my neighbors from India had their parents visit and they’re English was very broken. The dad asked me if I was having a holiday... it was June... I was so confused and said “no, not until the 4th.” And he looked equally confused and said “no holiday?” And I seriously had to think this out.... May = Memorial Day, nothing in June, July 4th. So I said, “next month there’s a holiday”. He said, “oh” and went on his way. Later I realized he was asking if I was on vacation because I was home but it was just the weekend... 🤦🏻‍♀️ my brain is really slow on the weekends.

[@pagodaone_5697]

thanks for sharing your story, Angela!

[@thestrategos4710]

I've always used running machine - treadmill sums up a picture of physical punishment in Victorian gaols!!

[@litigioussociety4249]

A brand name also being the word for an object is an eponym, and its normal. Band-aid, kleenex, frisbee, Tupperware, Vaseline, etc. Usually, the only time you hear people avoid them is on TV, because they legally can't use the brand name without permission. For example, on TV in America they'll often call Kleenex, tissues, which sounds really weird, because most Americans would associate tissue more with toilet paper.

[@Char10tti3]

I use running machine as a native English person. I think it might be normal here, or at least accepted. Maybe it is an older term?

[@pagodaone_5697]

Might be. We will also look into that once again :)

[@kiradotee]

Where do you live Char10tti3?

[@jakeryan4545]

Interesting. Do they have both treadmills and elliptical machines where you are? I don't say running machine, but if asked I might say I just use the machines at the gym, which if the person has any interest / knowledge of the gym is always followed up by "elliptical or treadmill"? Saying running machine takes more effort to say, and usually a person asking will ask for clarification so it doesn't make sense where I live. But if you don't have both types of equipment (or if like elliptical machines were so rare it caused confusion), I would see saying running machine even if it is more syllables.

[@misterkite]

Japan also uses Hotchkiss to mean stapler.

[@pagodaone_5697]

Yeah some of the Korean words are origin from Japanese :)

Did condo become pension because people tend to buy hoilday homes and shared complexes in later life for an investment?

[@pagodaone_5697]

Well it kinda makes sense :) Thanks for ur comment.

[@angiehowie9149]

I was thinking a time share... a lot of people at ski resorts have condos they rent out during the ski season or summer hiking trips...

[@Jeni10]

It's a European word for a guest house and it's Pansion.

[@ririsj1100]

I personally have experience. So English it's not my native language. And I do love watching K-Drama or K-variety show in English subtitles. (FYI my real name not Kim Su Yong, it's just named from my Korean friend and also I'm not Korean people ). I watch K-drama in English subtitle in order to learn English especially reading and of course vocabulary. After that, I have good friends and he is from England. One day I was texting with him, and I wanna cheer him and I said "Fighting". And he asked me what do you mean. I was so confused about why he doesn't understand what I mean. But nowadays, I realized that the English subtitle that they used is Korean English sometimes. So it's not the proper English. Example : Fighting Eat deliciously Skinship Etc.. So, I decided to stop watching in English subtitles. I changed to my native language which is Indonesia. 😅

[@noname-zd6wu]

when John pronounces 'didn't' it's like 'didint' and I'm reminded of my school teachers who will scold us if we pronounce it that way..they pronounce it as 'dint' ..now I wanna show them this video 🥺

[@byusaranicole]

So "pension" would be like an AirBNB??

[@pagodaone_5697]

Yeah, Sara it is sort of AirBNB and also some sort of Hotel or Motel

[@Robob0027]

No, an AirBNB is usually a self-catering establishment where the owner is not usually on site. A pension is normally family run and often also serves breakfast or sometimes dinner.
