Korean Phrases for Vegetarians & Vegans

[@dogforever4]

So glad you made this kind of video Prof. Oh! I'm vegetarian and would love to travel around Asia some day but I've worried that beginning vegetarian might be off putting to some of them lol

[@Inochan91]

i love your understanding for other cultures so muchhhhh

[@ashleyroyster2980]

"going to learn some phrases to help you not starve" LOL

[@twirly10000]

This is so helpful! Thanks proffesor Oh! As A muslim I really need this.

[@Lolman240]

Very helpful. If you go to most restaurants in Korea and you ask to not put any meat, they will almost always give you a funny look like.."Wait...you DON'T want any meat??" as if they thought you made a mistake

[@Jasminedesi16]

Thank you so much for this!! I was afraid I'd starve in Korea.

[@caricakes]

Im vegetarian here in Korea and its gotten a lot easier over the past few years :) You wont starve! You'll love it!

[@Jasminedesi16]

cari cakes that is great to know! Thank you :)

By definition, vegetarians do NOT eat fish. If they eat fish but don't eat red meat or chicken or pork, s/he is a pescaterian. Don't call them vegetarians.

[@therisashow]

You're definitely right, but at the same time, the use of "pescatarian" is fairly uncommon worldwide, and especially places where English isn't the main language. I grew up vegetarian, and when we went to eat at a friend's house they would often ask if we ate fish or not because in MANY cultures (especially Eastern Asian, but even Caribbean culture), fish is not considered a "meat" the same way that chickens, cows or pigs are. So people who eat mostly vegetarian and some fish are considered to be vegetarian in their culture. In the Caribbean, vegans are often thought to be Rastafarian because they are the main influencers of the vegan diet there. I.E. Your definition of Vegetarian vs Pescatarian is a new concept that only gained popularity in the last 15-20 years.

[@bjb0808]

I know. I hate it when people call themselves vegetarians and they say, "But I eat fish." Wtf?!?!? LOL

[@돔동-p1x]

huh?? I thought vegetarian includes vegan, pescatarian, lacto-ovo vegitarian. Don't you mean they can't cal themselves vegan?

[@CuracaoCow]

@@돔동-p1x No. Vegans- Don't eat, wear, or use ANY animal products or byproducts, ie, they don't eat ANY meat, dairy, eggs, honey, or ANYTHING that comes from an animal, is made from an animal or is made by an animal. No fur, no cosmetics that were tested on animals, NOTHING. There are three types of vegetarians: Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarians: Do not consume ANY meat but will eat dairy and eggs. Lacto-Vegetarians: Do not consume ANY meat but will eat dairy and not eggs. Ovo-Vegetarians: Do not consume ANY meat but will eat eggs and not dairy. Pescatarians: Eat fish but NO other meats. May or may not consume eggs or dairy. Hope that helps.

[@peachtokkii863]

I'm pescaterian because I have an iron deficiency so I have to eat it but i try to eat it as little as possible. But I always refer to myself as vegetarian just because it's easier and a thing more ppl say. Also again I don't want to eat fish very much

[@Bryanissmiling]

Professor Oh is my favorite Korean caster! She's always helpful, no filler, doesn't repeat herself too often, funny and cool!

[@robertgroulx7433]

thank you professor oh

[@reachtrita]

Because I watched Farm to Fridge on KZbin. Everyone has to watch it because we all are contributing to it. It's important that we are educated and can make an informed decision about something that we do everyday!

[@bjb0808]

Nice. This really helps.

[@wishinforluv]

Thank you so much for posting this one!

[@evatoh2490]

I’m so glad that you’ve made this! I’m a full dairy-vegetarian and this saved my worries when I decide to travel to Korea. You’re my life saver!

[@notmadonna1445]

These videos are so helpful. Thank you!

[@MrPhotomania]

Thanks for making this video....

[@유현아-n6v]

Thank you for this video, it was very helpful. :) You are wrong about vegetarians though they do not eat meat. If someone only eats fish meat then they are Pescatarian.

[@NumieXesa]

Thank you so much

[@Am0no]

Very nice 💗👌Thank you😻, I'm from Saudi Arabia😅

[@NoirKittie]

Haha this video would be really helpful to my friends who were traveling to S. Korea. All the vegan friend ate were peaches on her trip.

[@ТайфурЮсупов-й4д]

I want find cartoon on Korean language with Korean subtitles. Do someone have this? Give me link, please.

[@elricbecca]

My girlfriend has a lysine intolerance, so basically she allergic to meat. This is very helpful. How would she say she's allergic to meat?

[@takopotato9589]

Professoe oh,help me!!!when i go to a restaurant in korea,how to say "is it halal here?"

[@whonayana]

I do not eat beef or beef byproducts, but literally any other meat is ok. Even though there may not be meat pieces in the dish, how can I know/avoid if the dish contains beef broth specifically?

[@RexRevlerFan80]

tennisgrl93 If you are allergic to dairy and the other types of meat, you must be a vegetarian.

[@ivelinadimitrova7095]

As a Bulgarian I was like O_O when you mentioned my country ... amazing

[@KaleHello]

New to this channel but are you really a professor or did you just happen to use this title solely for this video? :)

[@taesspochkah]

I am vegetarian for about 335 days in the year. For the remaining 30 nonveg days, I eat egg, chicken, goat or fish.

[@PiroMunkie]

Woo! More 삼겹살 for me!

[@hopee5203]

I have a question. I have been taught that 는/은 are used when you are describing or explaining about the noun, and I thought that maybe using 를/을 before 빼주세요 would be correct because the noun is receiving an action. So I was wondering if what I had been taught was correct or not. Could someone please explain this to me? X)

[@Ravenna.9]

It's been 4 years, did you figure it out? I'm also confused by this XD

[@tvtoms]

Make a t-shirt that says "main host" on it. edit: because it's one of those unique things about your channel. Who else says that? Nobody! That's who! ;)

[@vacheliiyer5723]

Is there no word for Hindu? How do I say I'm a Hindu and don't eat meat?

[@vacheliiyer5723]

That's great to know! I'll have to practice that.

[@themakeupbyimani]

Hahaa if you go to korea and try to ask someone this on the streets they'll probably ignore you or say they don't know unless it's in hongdae or jeju

[@jsphyptya]

✌✌😘😘

[@RexRevlerFan80]

Random sentence 안좋아없어

[@avocadomay]

I once went to a Korean restaurant and I told them not to put meat but they still ended up putting ham in there. I think according to them meat (kogi) and Ham is different...

[@sarabeth641]

Meat would refer to most meats, especially pork and beef, but usually exclude fish and seafood. I think they just forgot or misunderstood you

[@03.aprajitasharma35]

I can't also eat egg. I am bhraman. I am totally vegetarian.

[@CraftyNature47]

Kyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@ТайфурЮсупов-й4д]

무엇을 말했십니까

[@julieouellet247]

Im comfused .. its the same work for vegetatiam and vegan?

[@yellowloaferingpabobunny9452]

Is there no phrase for pescatarian?

[@LoremIpsumPeach]

A meal w/o meat is not complete? There are so many Korean dishes w/o meat. Surprised that Korean people have that point of view. My mom is Korean and she thinks we need to eat meat to live. When I became vegan, she kept telling me I would die (out of serious concern for me). But it's just surprising to me bc, there are so many plant based options. What is super hard to avoid in Korean food is fish though! Even kimchi is made w/ fish (which it took me a while to learn) so it's not vegan. And lots of soup bases and sauces use fish to flavor them.

[@famefatal666]

It's not against my religion.... I just don't like the taste of meat and I feel guilty eating it....

[@ouioui6759]

just a meatovor passing by

[@shaibaelikemay]

Is kimchi vegan

[@leenanguyen2610]

Shaima May it depends. I've read the ingredient labels on some available at Asian stores some are vegan but others use fish sauce so you'll have to keep your wits about you.

[@shaibaelikemay]

Leena Nguyen thanks

[@TheVioletGardener]

I'm probably exposing my horrible language skills with this question, but is it polite to end the sentences with -yo? Shouldnt it be -nidda? or is that just how you talk to waiters?

[@jlong5987]

youd get laughed at in korea if you said animals are my friends :(

[@maagiiiii]

Excuse me, veganism is not religion!

[@touchmesomehow]

Thank you!
