Fighting!

From the hot weather we can guess that summer is getting closer, and that also mean only one more month until summer vacation! Summer vacation is the longest vacation that every students have during the year. Students will usually use that period of time to hang out with their friends. Maybe they will go to eat lunch together, watch a movie, or do some exercise...etc. However, did you know how to ask your friends to go out in Korean? Today’s lesson will be the sentences that Korean will say to ask their friends to go out.

The first sentence we are going to learn is “뭐해?”(Mwo-Hae), which mean “What are you doing?” in English. If we want to say it in polite way it will be “뭐하세요”(Mwo-Ha-Se-Yo). People always start the conversation with “Hello?” or “What are you doing?”. I don’t know that did we must start the conversation with these two sentences, but sometimes there are nothing in my mind that could start the conversation. Think about it, you could use “What are you doing?” to easily start the conversation without offend somebody, and in the same time, it helps us to understand how is he doing recently. Such as if the person answer with a normal tone, we can guess that he/she did have a normal life. If one person answer with a sad tone, we can guess that he/she might be in a bad mood because of something. Asking your friends “What are you doing?” could not only help you to say hi without saying the word “Hi!”, but also help you to understand how are them. Doesn't you think this is very convenient?

After we know how are they doing, we would like to ask them “Did you want to go?”. To say that in Korean is “배고파?”(Bae-Go-Pa), and in polite way it will be “배고파요?” (Bae-Go-Pa-Yo). Usually after we know how are they doing, we will ask our friends that did they want to go out. It could be go to having lunch, watching movie, or doing exercise. We won’t ask what did they want to do, but just go out. This is quite strange but really true, because this is just what all the people did. They will only think what should they do after they get out. Don’t feel strange on it because I believe this is something you will do.

Today we learn two different sentences that we could use during the summer vacation: “뭐해?” and “배고파?”. Both of them are really common sentences that people will use in their daily life, no matter you are a student or a worker. Anyway, know what it is mean is not enough. You should always practice these sentences in order to get familiar with it. As long you practice every day, you will getting better on it. No longer you will be able to speak Korean perfectly and you will have the ability to communicate with real Korean. Let us keep practice until the day come! 가자!
