Why are you guys mentioning units and spells? They are not really korean words and it's pretty obvious what they mean.

I have a few words I'd like to know:
krusho
KAEso

krusho...? do you mean keu ruh cho? 그렇죠 = that's right
KAEso...? do you mean kae sok? 계속 = continue


That sounds about right. Thanks.

Between name or adjective, we add Ga or i (가/이) after the name!

Example: - StarcraftGa JoAYo (스타크래프트가 좋아요) = Starcraft is good
- Terrani SileoYo 테란이 싫어요 = Terran is bad

It means "this one timing" in context: jaedong only had that one timing to come back or the game was over.
KKKKKRRRGGHJ is just a sound some old Korean men make it doesn't really mean anything e.g. He drinks a shot of soju and KKKKRRRGGHHH or someone makes a really good play: KKKRRRGGHH that was very good play! ... dunno if you guys get what I'm saying lol

not quite. as someone said earlier, the "A" in factory is pronounced as a diphtong "AE"
so it comes out as "PPHEKTORY"! PPHEKTORY"!

It's like 'a' versus 'an.' If there's is a base to the character preceding (in other words, it ends in a consonant) you use ee (이) and if there isn't, you use 'ga' (가).

Daebak is 대박 and it means 'big hit.' It can be used to refer to pop songs as well as mines.

Actually, while we are on the topic, can someone explain why in a fluidly sounding Korean speech sometimes a commentator goes "KKKGHHHH" all of a sudden? Is that part of some word? It sounds completely out of place, as if he's expectorating.

This is a big conspiracy we've asked are co-teachers so many times and they claim they don't do it. So me and the other native teacher used to share a giggle each time one of them did it in front of us.

My name is the worst name you can possibly have (probabbly not true) in Korea, theres a short noise kind of like Greh that means like a real casual Yes. It sounds like Greg to me everytime I hear it.

The students normally struglle with Greg but they tend to go for adding a vow and call me Gegi, or Grega even sometimes Greguuu. They do it with lots of words like Englishie and finishie. I don't think the adding an u is done to make it sound honourific but I'll admit that most Korean words that do end like that are honorific so maybe theres a conection.
