Korean is such an amazing language that every grammatical particle makes complete sense which allows all words to function together and be used together with maximum efficiency. This is why Korean is actually incredibly easy to learn. Today I will demonstrate using the Korean world "줘 (pronounced joe)" which ='s "give" Though 줘 is often changed to 주 (jew) with different parts of speech attached to it.

Elric has taught you guys that 여기요(yogi-yo) ='s "excuse me, here, get over here, etc" and is commonly used in places where there are service people to get their attention. Koreans do not sit around and wait for the waiter or waitress to bring them the menu's or more bottles of alcohol or more food or the bill. They scream yogi-yo at the top of their mother fucking lungs and a little server always instantly comes running. If you're ever in a Korean restaurant impress the servers by saying whatever you want and then:

주세요 (ju-say-yo) which means "please give me." The 줘 is slightly transformed to 주 (ju, jew, w/e) because of the part of speech following it. Say 맥주 (mek-ju) 주세요 to order more beer (mek-ju ju-se-yo). And no, the "ju" in mek-ju is not related as 맥주 is entirely it's own word.

But there are oh so many ways to modify "줘"

Take a look at these examples and look at the bolded korean and compare it with the bolded english. The korean is much more simple, clean, and shorter in almost all cases:

맥주 주세요. = Please give me beer (or a beer).

엄마 한테 선물 주고싶어요. I want to give my mom a present.

엉덩이 줘. = Give me your ass. (I swear I've seen them say this in a Korean movie right before the guy stops fucking her normally and anals her lmao.)

아 시발 100% 줬는데 잃었어. = Ah fuck I gave it my all but I lost. (Something Koreans will only say when they are in public (minus the fuck part obv). When they are not in the spotlight they will basically be saying "SHEEBAL GAE SEKKI MO YA JOT KAT AH AHHH JAJJINGNA" <---you probably don't need translation for that one). Note on this one I don't know if that's the real Korean saying for it that's just Rekrul's dumbed down Korean.

돈 줬거든... = I fucking gave you the money. The beauty of Korean is that phrases like this can be used as just a firm strong statement in a normal situation (so no expletive), or as "fucking" in comfortable situations. It all depends on the enunciation. (This is what I often say when waiters who were fucking drunk when I paid them can't remember and try to get me to pay again.)

느끼게해줬어. = I gave her an orgasm. (Something you will never hear a Korean guy saying unless it's a lie, LOL!

And last but not least, even though you have gotten absolutely nothing out of this unless you are Korean then you're probably laughing, at least learn this sentence for when you end up in Korea in a night-club and your waiter is slacking. Don't tip him...just summon and say this with an annoyed 'I'm going to kill you fucker' look on your face:

야 시발새끼 왜 일 열심히안해? 취했는 썅년 빨리 주라.

(phonetically: YA SHEEBAL SEKKI WAE IL YULL-SHIM-HEE-AN-HE? CHI-HAET-NIN SSYANG-NYUN BBALI JO-LA

+ Show Spoiler +

HEY MOTHER FUCKER WHY AREN'T YOU WORKING HARD? FUCKING BRING ME A DRUNK SLUT ASAP.

Added extra: If you're in Korea and a Korean girl ever asks you what you do, just say you're a Bek-soo(sew like going to court for money) (백수). This word comes from the Korean for "male lion" and it basically means that you don't have a job and are a 'freestyler' but you still are able to live a nice life (male lions are lazy the females do all the work...the way it's supposed to be). The mystery of being a 백수 creates curiosity in Korean girls and will often stimulate a conversation that would never have happened if you just said you're a student or whatever.

I think we should add the "most retarded comment" section.

I would be willing to head that up as well ^_^

Reks stuff is really nice and fun to read as well, cheers

.

And I think the "what section would you add" would be a really good question! I still think we need a VODs of the week section myself! Hard to find someone capable for that though, I've been asking around
