그렇져 It means in this context that the speaker is agreeing with the last person that spoke. So, commentator A could be saying, 'LOOK! We can see that Ma-Jae-Yoon is now morphing guardians! This will be difficult for Flash to hold!' Commentator B just says, 'Ker-roh-cho'. (Yes! "It is happening like that") | ||

theres 2 ways to interpret it 1) It can be a simple "Moving on" 2) When commentator 1 is talking, then commentator 2 cuts in saying "Jah" it kinda means "hold on somethings coming up" etc. | ||

What do the commentators mean when they say "keso keso"? Sometimes this sound appears more than twice in a row, and usually the first one is stressed: "kEEso keso keso". Seems like it comes up often when something exciting/a close call is happening. Thanks guys! This thread is fun. | ||

Perhaps a better word for you may be "DDOH DDOH!" (not like homer simpsons DOH) meaning MORE MORE Edited! | ||

I have a question as well regarding the word "Chobo". I am aware that it stands for "an unskilled player". However, what I have been wondering is whether the word has a negative connotation to it? Meaning, is it used as an insult or is it simply a word which refers to someone who has not become skilled in the game yet? | ||

However, what I have been wondering is whether the word has a negative connotation to it? Meaning, is it used as an insult or is it simply a word which refers to someone who has not become skilled in the game yet? Chobo literally means a beginner or someone new to something and the word itself not have negative connotation. If you called someone a chobo driver, it just means inexperienced driver. It can however insult people depending on the context of the situation. If you were calling someone a newbie in a StarCraft competition, obviously they will be insulted. | ||

It's best to learn it as a korean would, i.e look at the hangul and listen to the sound. Don't add english in-between or you'll end up sounding like a shitcunt foreigner. I used some arabic to transliterate korean but arabic is much much closer pronounciation wise than english is to korean. | ||

I used some arabic to transliterate korean but arabic is much much closer pronounciation wise than english is to korean. There are "official" romanizations, so it's possible to tell what word it is based on the roman letters used. But where I agree is they are not useful for pronunciation - they are useful when it is not convenient to write in hangeul. But obviously if you showed someone who didn't know Korean the phrase "saengil chukha hamnida!" they would certainly not come even close to pronouncing it right. | ||

It literally translates to "yes" and is used for the most part formally...or semiformally? Now I'm getting it confused with "yeh"... They're both formal, but "yeh" seems to be a bit more formal...like between superior/inferior, while "neh" is more used between older and younger? like oppa/hyung/noona/unni to dongseng or parent to child. More casually you'll do those things that are more like expressions than actual words...I don't know how you'd spell it out. | ||

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. | ||

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!"

'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. | ||
