I actually had problems with that when I came to America only knowing the Korean pronunciation -__-

Another good ones is "sense"

They pronounce it "sensuh." It can often be interchanged with the korean word nunchi but is slightly different. Nunchi is more like your ability to read into whats really going on or how someone feels, sense is more like your ability to react/adapt quickly to a situation or conversation.

I'm riding economy class with two korean girls sitting behind me on a flight from Seoul to Macau and I'm obviously too tall to fit that comfortably so before takeoff so as we are preparing for takeoff I already have my seat back in recline mode.

Flight attendant comes up to me "Sir please put your seat back up we are preparing for takeoff."

"Wae? Jinjja bulpyun heyo!" (Why? It's so uncomfortable!)

*2 second lag processing white man speaking korean* "I understand sir but please, you must put your seat upright for takeoff."

"Al gess sim ni da" (Okay in the honorific respectful tone) *puts seat back fully upright*

*flight attendant walks away*

*instantly reclines seat back again all the way*

girls behind: "hahaha sense jjom it nae" (lol hes got sense)
why so 진지해?

Koreans also use "hunting" as going out trying to pick up girls lol.

"o nil wae night wasso?" (why did you come to the night club tonight?)

"jjom bae go pa. hunting ha la go wasso" (I'm a little hungry. I came here to hunt.)

*girl instantly gets up and leaves*

why so 진지해?

I feel like I'm learning so much reading from Rekrul's posts but then reality gets me. Always hilarious nonetheless.

I've had iterations of:

"Feb-yuu-waa-wee?"
"Feb-yula-ree?"
"Ffffff-eb-yoo-wo-woi?"

I can only imagine what "lyrics" sounds like.
