What are you...?

One more week than the 30-day challenge will be officially finish. I still remember at the first day of my challenge I was so excited and worry in the same time. I was excited about the oppurtunity to learn new languages, but I was also worry about the blog we need to write and the problem that might came among the challenge. However, I guess for those worry I am just thinking too much, because until now there still didn’t have big problem that will bother me when I do my challenge. Anyway, today we are also going to learn some new Korean sentences that will be useful in our daily life, so let us start it!

Today’s topic are all surround “What are….?” these kind of sentences. The first sentence is “너뭐먹냐?”(Neo-Mwo-Meog-Nya), it is mean “What are you eating?” in English. If we want to ask this in polite way it will be “무엇을 드시고 게십니까?” (Mu-Eos-Eul-Deu-Si-Go-Ge-Sib-Nik-Ka). It might looks very hard to pronounce, but after practice few time you will know the trick to speak it. As we all know that Korean food are very special and abundant. There are some foods that looks the same, but actually are totally different thing. That is why this sentence become very useful when you talk to Korean people, but I think this sentence could also be ask in English in Vdp. Every time when someone saw his friends order Dragon Buffet or Three Brothers Pizza, they always ask “What are you eating?” From there we can know that this is a sentence that is useful when you Vdp, and it is a fact!

After we know how to say “What are you eating?” we also need to know how to say “I am eating….” If we want to say “I am eating…” in Korean they will either say the food’s name or “......먹어”(Meog-Eo), which is food’s name + eat. One thing I learn from my Korean friend is that in Korean. Their grammar is very flexable, they didn’t have the subject verb agreement this kind of grammar rule. They could decide the order in the sentence, such as verb in front or subject in front...etc. This make me think that I should have start learning Korean earlier, because grammar is not the most important part in Korean. This mean it will be easier for the person like me who are really bad on grammar to learn.

For the last sentence I am going to teach is “너 뭐하냐?”(Neo-Mwo-Han-Ya), which mean “What are you doing?” in English. If we want to say in polite way it will be “지금 무엇을 하고 게십니까?”(Ji-Geum-Mu-Eos-Eul-Ha-Go-Ge-Sib-Nik-Ka). Like what I said previously in the French lesson, what are you doing is a sentence that will use very often. People almost use it everyday when they talk to their friend or family. This sentence could not only help people to start the conversation, and understand how each other life’s going. That is why we should also learn this sentence in Korean! Anyway, this is the last second post for our 30-day challenge. Next Tuesday will be the last episode for us to learn new language, so it will be a longer special lesson! Hope you enjoy the lesson today, and we will see you next Tuesday!
