I use both when I (try to) speak Korean. The difference is subtle...I honestly can't really put my finger on it at this point...I was just taking a stab at it in my previous post. | ||

This comes from the famous PLAYGUU video at 14 seconds in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpuv7VPb2rA He actually said, "geu reh seub nee dah" roughly... It roughly means, "yes, that's how it is" or "of course" or "yes, that's what happened". In effect, it's an affirmation. The guy was screaming about how he got nearly all of the vessels in one plague and the other guy was affirming it. | ||

Hwaiting = FightingKoreans find it hard to pronounce "F"s so it gets changed to 'hwa' (in this case anyway). 'Fighting' can be used in any other situation where you want to give encouragement. It's a bit cheesy, a bit gay... but can be heard a lot. | ||

Seems to come up fairly often. Might be 개때부대. gae - thae - boo - dae 개때 - gae thae Literally, dog herd 부대 - boo dae Literally, something like an army regiment "Gae thae" (Dog herd) is often related to the massive collective unit of anything. It's usually most appropriate to link with something that might parallel the imagery of a rampaging dog herd. Used by itself, it can express something like "those zerlings are swarming like a dog herd." I've heard people using it to describe shoppers amassing a department store to buy discount clothes. So, if you'd put them together, it'd basically mean a massive dog herd-like regiment of units. ->Skipping all the useless things I put up there, most appropriate translation would be "huge ass army." ->Highting (Fighting) can be used in any situation where someone would normally say, "Good luck!"

I hear '산대방' or '상대방' a lot (spelling definitely wrong). What is it please? 'Yeh' and 'neh' are pretty much interchangeable. 'Yeh,' should be used more frequently if talking to someone much older than you, methinks. You forgot 'err' though. It's down there with 'eung.' 상대방 - saang dae baang Opponent. It can be a noun or adjective. E.g. 상대방 기지 (saang dae baang khee gee) -> Opponent's base. | ||
