It's a food that's different than what most Americans are accustomed to. I agree that it's best to eat it on a really hot day. I've only had homemade naengmyun, though. | ||

Hahaha Yeah, if you're a guy, the term you'd be looking for is hyung, but I think you might be older than me. On April 25 2011 17:26 Wolf wrote: I didn't say it was weird, but weirder.

Hahaha Question: I heard that a guy using 오빠 and 언니 to refer to guys and girls, respectively, that are older is something used in the gay scene in South Korea. Is this true? (Korean-American, here, so I'm not completely familiar with all of the nuances of Korean culture in South Korea.) I remember watching a variety show (해피투게더 3, to be more specific) where Rain (비) accidentally referred to Lee Hyo-ri (이효리) as "언니", and then everyone was making fun of 비, asking him if he was coming out of the closet or something. | ||

Well since girls are supposed to use oppa and unnie, I can see how it would connect like that. But I'll leave that in the hands of a more.. legitimate Korean. | ||

Not all gays talk like that, but... You know the stereotype of homosexuals in the US with the lisp, the dramatic voice tone, the hand gestures, and the you-go-girls? Well, take that, remove the you-go-girls, and add the unnis and oppas. It's just like how in the US, some choose to refer to each other as a girl. Guys using them doesn't always mean that they're gay, though. It's also used by guys sometimes when they joke around, pretending to be a girl or gay with a friend. And, some sellers(hawkers? like people who yell in shops or in the street trying to sell their products) deliberately use unni and oppa when they talk to customers, especially if they're selling things like jewelry and clothes(어머~ 언니 너무 어울린다~ etc. etc.) Oh, and on some online anonymous forums, it's standard to use 형 or 언니 depending on whether the forum has mainly female or male users. | ||

There should be no need to make Korean your main browser language. The only thing important is to make your browser/computer detect the Korean language. The only reason you would make it your main language is if you wanted to type in it. That said, if you don't have the Korean font/codec package on your computer/browser, you probably should install that. | ||

This might be a browser encoding issue. What browser are you using, and if you can check, your encoding should be set to Unicode. | ||

Yes, that's correct. Assuming you want to cheer for Stork instead of Bisu or Jaedong.  | ||
