@WootforSharpies Taekwon Do's philosophy: Why do women have all the fun? If women can paint their nails, then men can too. Dear Men, don't be afraid. Believe in yourselves!!

[@mizuki-chan7403]

+Awaria Dupy If you don't mind me asking, what does the "ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ" mean? I see it in a lot of comments and reality shows but I don't know why they use it.

[@xoxLittleBubblexox]

+Mizuki- chan its basically the korean 'ha ha ha ha'

[@alex-wl5vb]

+Mizuki- chan yeah it's literally ㅋㅋㅋ → kkkk and it's korean hahaha but in real life they don't saying kkk. only in messages

how to write 오ㅃㅏ on a English keybord: dh for 오, SHIFT+ q for ㅃ and k forㅏ

[@josephine9862]

I was always wondering - if you meet an Kpop idol or somebody famous who is younger than you (because we know everything possible about our bias, including their age, right?) but obviously he doesn't know how old you are, how would you call him? I mean in a respectful way, not just yell his name like some crazy teenage fan.

[@cutiemicxWHAT]

+Josephine You can add ~씨 to his name :) Example: 태현씨

[@josephine9862]

Thank you for your comment, this is a good way, I agree (as my Korean got better ^^). I also saw ~님, like for example 조동혁 배우님 But I saw it only in a written form, I'm not sure if it's common to use it to address someone. ~씨 is a safe option.

[@shiaxys2318]

지민씨

[@simplyeason]

Josephine you can address someone with 님 but it would be very weird for you to address your kpop idols with 님 as it is a very formal honorific. for example, your teachers, your boss, the manager or the president. usually someone who has a higher authority then you or more experienced in the same industry as you. 씨 is definitely a better option. or you can just say ~오빠 or ~형/이형.

[@Mar-hq9bm]

[@cappuccinoiv]

If you did kdrama I would totally binge watch it hahaha you're awesome!

[@krivasn]

I love that Taekwon Do is wearing nail polish!! lol

[@slientanjel]

i love your lessons I have been trying to learn Korean for months now I even bought How to master Korean but your lessons are soooooo much easier and fun thanks

[@nikimmaki]

You are great.I can't stop watching your videos! Such a talented teacher.

[@alexjpenn]

Lol, left the nail polish on around 0:48 ahaha

[@PiroMunkie]

I find it interesting that there are rules for addressing someone older, but just one word to address someone younger. Definitely shows a level a piety towards one's elders in Korean culture. :]

[@bigheaddreamteam]

HAHAHA... this episode is hilarious. Funny how Billy tries to keep a straight face XD

[@hope9815]

*everyone talks about hyung & oppa i just search it here now i know* thanksssss!!!❤

[@marieconstantia4441]

What would we do without you Miss Mina?! You are the best!

[@yeonlakhaeme5540]

I used to watch your videos 7 years ago I was still an elementary student that time 😂 now i tried looking for this channel again by searching ’when to use oppa and eonni’ because i was so stupid and i didnt subscribe before and i forgot the channel’s name 😂 because of this channel i enjoyed learning korean and i’ve learned a lot 😍

[@area51l]

I loved this episode's ending! We definitely need some verbs... how about you teach us conjugations/some verbs at one point?

[@jh.158]

difference between Aegyeo or aigoo (sorry for wrong spelling)

[@oneashaday]

jiji love aegyo is cuteness/a cute act while aigoo is 'omg'

[@Mr2Reviews]

"Do, Tae-Kwon" is how a Korean would introduce themself. She did write it like that in Korean though which makes it even funnier.

[@dragateli]

dude your videos are amazing. You are an awesome teacher. The way it's introduced, put into context and repeated in a fresh way. I'd suggest speeding up the dialogue a tiny bit on the reaction between billy and her boyfriend (just a tad, don't go too much faster). Please teach some simple grammar soon! And modern conversational phrases.

[@TheKoreanfan4ever]

nice kwow maybe next KWOW you can do :who,what,where,when,and why. ilove this ep. great job keep it up see you next time :)

[@mezclideep]

muy bueno tu video y aparte de educativo es diverteido eres muy buena actriz

[@britishbantigue6236]

keep up the good work.. i like your all videos.... and your a good actress too :)

[@TheCardProfessor]

1:17 aahhhh how can anyone resist that aegyo?? i've got goosebumps!

[@justiniantbh]

@sweetandtasty Thank you :) Again, I very much appreciate your videos! I can't appreciate them enough. Thank you again :D

[@nippondancing]

well i've heard it called a lot of things, but 'marinating the meat' is a new one to me

[@joticama4]

@Tatstube77 1) that doesn't really matter at all, it's all depending on you. 2) it changes depending on age, but if you're younger then they don't really adress you as anything other than your name. 3) sunbae is for people older than you. if you guys get closer, he might start feeling uncomfortable being called that since it is so formal, so you will be asked to call him oppa. (:

[@kawaiineruchan]

funny how he says he is male and points to him slef with painted nails teehee! i love the videos they are a great way of helping me remember things especallly with all the character Bily Jin is the best Xd

[@kdefensemartialarts8097]

Thank you for your videos.

[@SuperMilkmaniac]

@Tatstube77 First, i'm not korean, i'm just telling what i know 1. No, you can't call him oppa. You can call him Jagiya or Yeabo ( honey or darling ) 2. they will called us jagiya or yeabo or just our names. It changes depends on your age 3. Oppa is used for close boy friend, and sunbae is senior in korean. Sunbae is more formal than oppa. *extras* Hubae is junior , for female= to older guy = OPPA =to older sisters= UNNIE for male=to older guy= HYUNG =to female=NOONA

[@yedidiarodriguez1739]

Excelente video!!! Saludos!!! Desde México! Vine aquí por Tania!

[@ChoozenSun]

동생 good job this weeks video. keep up the good work!!

[@HibariXme]

@Tatstube77 (i'm not experienced in Korean, so my answers might be wrong :$ ) 2. If you're older than your boyfriend, then they will probably call you Noona (older sister), and if you're the younger one than they just talk to you informally and say your name with the ending "-ah" sound (e.g.: Ah Jung-ah) 3. Oppa is just used for your older brother, close older friend, and boyfriend. I'm pretty sure Sunbae is used for your senoirs (classmate or colleage)

[@marnimarien]

you really do maintain the voice! well done!

[@Rochelle_Ballah]

Everytime i hear hyeong(hyung) i remember Kyung Soo in the movie screaming "형!!! 형!!" ㅋㅋㅋ ..i get emotional 😂😭

Thanks for the lesson. As an older man, I guess I should focus on dong seng. Works for me. The sweet and tasty marinade idea sounds good too :)

[@dejatran]

You are very creative I love your channel!

[@ciwardora]

I just discovered your video and I really love it a lot . You are so funny , it's so great and it's more easy to learn thank you. I subscribe immediatly

[@canineconundrum]

Taekwon Do and Billy Jin remind me so much of my best friend and his girlfriend. XD

[@ALittleBrittles]

That last part with Billy and Taekwon Do was a little freaky, especially with the spring sound at the end ;)

Billy and her aegyo is killing me!!!!! ^^

[@saldada6928]

[@GRKalexis]

so funny..how I LOVE each character, and I like how Korean words are taught with laughter. Makes it easy and fun. GOIN TO Korea next coupla days. Will try saying "hello" and "goodbye" in Korean.

[@KingKrush8]

im really glad i found this!! my girlfriend knows that I have been trying to learn korean for a while (im a VERY slow beginner sometimes, XD) and she's been "teasing" me by calling me "oppa" and several other things so now i understand bits from her, and several other words and such from these videos ^_^ thanks a bunch!! :D lol

[@PiroMunkie]

@Latteloverr The East Asian age system is counted (1) the moment you're born, and (2) every new year after that. That means using this system, everyone is another year old January 1 regardless of when they were born. Even if they were born December 31 at 11:59:59PM, they would be 2 years old the moment the calendar turned over to the new year! This is why people in Eastern culture might say they are 1 or 2 years older than we would consider them in the Western Age system.

[@graezie4kpop]

thank you soo much for this!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!

[@yoanageorgieva4544]

Ahh your videos are so cool! They rlly help me learn korean. I just had to follow you

[@sunglimlaw]

@TaeyeonFTW9 maknae means the youngerst one. For example ,you call the youngest sister in your family maknae.

[@nikki7x7]

Wow! Professor Oh always has good ideas :) hmmm... maybe next week word could be "hara so" - I always see it translated as "ok"

[@MdFarukHossain9]

you make me happy all the time.

[@BabyAlchie]

I love these videos so much, if every class I had was this fun I'd be an A****** Student =D

[@PiroMunkie]

@mandy13339 You spelled it right! It's pretty simple to understand. It basically means "I want to ..." so all you need to find the verb you want to do. The 고 is the verb ending. So if you were to ask "What do you want to do?" you would say: 뭐 하고 싶어요? (Mwo ha-go sip-eo-yo?) 뭐 being "what," 하 being the conjugated form of 하다 which means "to do," and that's attached to -고 싶어요. So you can take any verb, remove the 다 and add 고 싶어요 to say "I want to (verb)." :]

[@mandy13339]

@PiroMunkie I was wondering what the 하 part was for! Thank you for explaining so well! :)

[@imanarmygirl4023]

[@crazyazngurlie]

@Tatstube77 A sunbae is what you call someone who is a senior in what you do, like if you're a singer, you would call someone who has been a singer for longer than you sunbae. An ajumma is a middle aged + woman and an ajussi is what you call a middle aged + man

[@samlee81234]

did u know that shinee songs is replay and it is also known as noona is so pretty.

[@storyteller01]

Anyong Haseyo!!!!! seon seng nim Oh (professor Oh) ^_^ it's really fun learning Hangugeo with you :) Jongmal Jaemi issoyo!!! I started learning the beautiful korean language 1 month/half ago with TalkToMeInKorean (with Hyun woo-ssi, Kyeong eun-ssi and Hyojin -ssi) then I come across your amazing/creative videos, both of you are the funniest and cool way of learning Hangugeo ^_^

[@LoveNoodles15]

I am so glad you did this. I was wondering what Oppa meant! omg love everything! im soaking it up man!

[@cynthiaxiong1120]

How cuuuuute! Love your videos.

[@WPwholesomeENT]

GENIUS YOU ARE!

[@free2rhyme411]

@Tatstube77 No, you don't I know this cause i'm Korean. Like they said, if your boyfriend is older, you call them Oppa. Second question, I don't think it matters, Mostly they would just call you by your name I guess. But remember guys older you call them Oppa. Girls older, guys would call them Noona. Sunbae means like Senpai in Japanese. It's for upperclassmen for like in High School. Hope it helps! :D

[@davidfoye8291]

Thank you for adding the rominization part to your equation the Korean language is much different than chinese because of these factors.

[@abigailmawi3800]

I really like your channel.

[@haanast]

He goes like: If you male, like me... DUDE you got your nails done and A LOT of blush in your face... Your not male at all! But still love it, great work!! Funny as hell and easy to learn, THAAAANKS!

[@passion4life986]

Lol!! You are too funny!! Made my day... 🤣

[@MonsterAbeMac]

@Len Kagamine you'd call him hyung because you're both male. But then only if he's older than you.

[@KonnichiwaKatie]

Maknae refers to the youngest person of a group. You hear it all the time in reference to KPOP groups

[@BloodyRabbit123]

KWOW makes it fun learning korean. i mean when i first tried studyin korean lang. i was like "wtf?! how do i pronounce that?" with all those "kk" "jj" "ae" "e" mn" who wouldnt ask ayt? take note they got this "formal" and "casual" way too. Im a kpop fan so i really want to learn even just the basics.so yeah tnx kwow

[@olidon96]

Aww, I like Taekwon Do. :) the first Kwow episode I watched was a little unsettling because of all the characters, but they've become pretty entertaining!

[@charlesmilner5602]

This helped me tell my older brother what Oppa Gangnam Seutyul (That is a correct Romanization) was about. Thank you Taekwon-hyung!

[@AnonymousSoH2]

@zombiewithhat I think it means 'not' or 'not exist', something like that. Hopefully Professor Oh will upload a lesson on that soon ^^

[@aazz102938]

heyy..this oppa coloured his nails~ hahaha

[@yaneruthbernardo]

Hi Mina, is the text for this lesson uploaded somewhere? :) similar to the other lessons?

[@Karin12345678ify]

Billy has a deep voice like Professor OH. And then i think Taekwon Do has a difference with the "It's time for" part. It's like... "It's tHime for"

[@RichardEatsVictuals]

I enjoyed the lesson. Thank you!

[@tokee1234567]

@HichiroJappy Often in Korean names U is used for UH / EO sound. example is SUNG. it's often in Korean names and it's used that way because of the way English the verb Sung is pronounced. It is highly inaccurate though because some people pronounce U as OO and etc...

[@annc6152]

What if I have a friend that's a few months older? Or a year or even just a few days? Do I have to call them unni or oppa?

[@Qtmars666]

Nae

[@Qtmars666]

If you dont know there birthdate you just use the formal senses and they they will maybe say like 'you can talk informal with me'

[@simplyeason]

no. anyone the same year as you, you can address them by their name. as long as you’re born on a different year and they’re older than you, you have to use honorifics UNLESS they give you permission to do so otherwise. usually, when you meet someone for the first time and dont know their age, you use formal. and maybe they’ll let you know you can speak informally to them.

[@sanatotakhel1369]

What do you call your younger sister if u r a female?

[@vminisfuckingreal998]

[You call her Unnie if she is older and that person is a female and you are a female. You call him Oppa when he is older than you and you are a female.]
