Korean Korner

+ Show Spoiler [Inevitable Disclaimer] +

I'm not Korean. I have no Korean blood. I cannot speak Korean fluently. In fact I've only been in Korea for 3 months. So don't go apeshit if I use a ㅔ instead of ㅐ or I offend anyone's acute nationalistic feelings. Rest assured though that I will not teach anything without being 100% that it's right.

Note on Romanization:
(Romanization is where the Korean is phonetically translated into English)
I hate Romanization and I strongly suggest any serious learners of Korean not to use it. It's just for the newbies. The problem with it is that different English speakers will pronounce the syllables differently and on an international forum like this, it's impossible for me to be accurate with it. There are different variations of Romanization and below I do my own version.

A good site to learn the alphabet is here:
http://www.langintro.com/kintro/index.htm

Practical Korean 3: You're cute
Continuing on from last week's theme...

If you want to compliment a girl... then actually you can use many of the usual (basic) English words. As all Korean girls will understand words like cute, sexy, pretty etc.

But! You want to impress! And your attempts at Korean always make her giggle in that awesome way. So, here's "You are cute/pretty":

You don't know their name
당신 귀여워요 (dang-shin ki-yoh-wo-yo)

Their name is XX
XX 귀여워요 (XX ki-yoh-wo-yo)

You are close/being cheeky
너 귀여워 (naw-ki-yoh-wo)

+ Show Spoiler [Details for the keen] +

당신 = quite formal and polite 'You'
너 = very informal 'You'
귀여워 = present tense form of verb 'to be cute' 귀엽다
요 = polite ending


No Random Bollocks this time
Sorry - too busy. Christmas and all that. :[

Boxing Day is a bank holiday or a public holiday in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and countries in the Commonwealth of Nations with a mainly Christian population. In South Africa this public holiday is now known as the Day of Goodwill. It is based on the tradition of giving gifts to the less fortunate members of society. Contemporary Boxing Day in many countries is for many a "shopping holiday" associated with post-Christmas sales and early starts to 'January sales'.

This day is historically the UK's name for St. Stephen's Day. Saint Stephen was the first Christian martyr, being stoned to death in Jerusalem around A.D. 34–35. St. Stephen's Day is usually celebrated on December 26, which is a public holiday in some countries and areas in Europe (including but not limited to the UK, Germany, Italy, Alsace and the northern part of Lorraine in France, Catalonia in Spain) and around the world with predominantly Christian populations. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, St Stephen's Day is celebrated on the 27th of December, although in Greece the Greek Boxing Day (Synaxis Theotokou, Σύναξις Θεοτόκου) is also celebrated as a public holiday on the 26th of December and is not related to the British version.[citation needed]

In Ireland — when it was part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland — the UK's Bank Holidays Act 1871 established the feast day of St. Stephen's Day as a non-moveable public holiday on the 26th of December, although since Partition, the name "Boxing Day" is used by the authorities in Northern Ireland, (which remained part of the United Kingdom), and it has become a moveable public holiday in line with the rest of the UK. The Banking and Financial Dealings Act of 1971 established "Boxing Day" as a public holiday in Scotland. In the Australian state of South Australia, the 26th of December is a public holiday known as Proclamation Day.

It is usually celebrated on the 26th of December, the day after Christmas Day[1][2]; however, unlike St. Stephen's Day, Boxing Day is not always on the 26th of December: its associated public holiday can be moved to the next weekday if the 26th of December is a Saturday or Sunday. The movement of Boxing Day varies between countries.
