"Even" in Korean? So I was looking through my Korean Grammar Workbook and there's a part that teaches about 조차 and 마저. They said 조차 and 마저 are both used for negative sentences, whereas 까지 is used for positive sentences, but then I went online to get more information about these three and the website I used said both 마저 and 까지 could be used for negative or positive situations. I was wondering which one was correct. Also, does -도 have the same meaning?

Korean honorific forms? There was something I was wondering about.. I'm kind of getting the hang of the different forms, but what confuses me is I know a few Korean people in their twenties to thirties. There are two girls and a guy who I speak to and there's another Korean who's in their forties. The two guys (one in their thirties and one in their forties) speak to me using ~요 at the end of their sentences. For example they'll say something like "안녕하세요. 주말 잘 보냈어요?", while the girls speak down to me. I'm completely fine with it, but I was wondering why the two guys use ~요 with me when I'm sixteen and they're obviously older. I have a Korean name that I made which is 문희진 and they also say 희진 씨 or 머라이어 씨 when speaking to me. And also one of them is my Korean teacher. Anyways, I was just confused because I thought with the age difference they'd speak down to me or is there a reason that anyone knows of why they don't...

Moving to South Korea because of... Kpop?! I tried asking this somewhere else, but for some reason the site doesn't work on my computer and I really wanted some people's opinions, so I decided to visit ask it here if it's okay.. ._. So about four or so years ago I got into kpop. I started learning the language, and became to really like it. I decided that I think I want to major in the Korean language in college. I'm not saying I definitely want to move there, I mean, who knows, I could end up not liking Korea. I could also end up changing my mind about the major, but as of right now this is what I think I'd like. I don't just listen to kpop. I also listen to American music, French & Spanish music, Jpop, Cpop and some Thai music. Also, more than I like listening to kpop and watching dramas, I really like listening to people talk in Korean. I think it sounds really cool listening to casual conversation. Also, I think I've always had some sort of language obsession. I remember when I was in preschool my friends somehow learned some simple Spanish phrases such as "hola", "como estas", and numbers one through ten. They taught them to me and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. When I was in about.. maybe.. third or fourth grade (?), my parents bought a "Spanish for dumbies" and a Spanish dictionary so I could learn some Spanish on my own haha. In the fifth grade, I took some Italian classes at school for a few weeks before I switched schools. The new school didn't start languages until eighth grade, but there was a "Spanish Club" (which was really just like a week or two of learning simple Spanish phrases) that I joined. I even had a folder for language information (which has now become my Korean folder). I had taps for Spanish, French, Japanese and German in that folder. Then at the beginning of my eighth grade year I moved again. And, of course, this school didn't start languages until nineth grade. At the end of that year I got into kpop, and after moving back to my previous school, I started learning Korean on my own. My nineth grade year I finally got to take and finish a language class and I ended up taking French. Around that time I found a Korean school not too far, but still not close, to where I lived and started going there on Sundays. I still take French and Korean, and I plan on finally full-filling my lifelong dream and I signed up to take Spanish 2 next year at school :D I'd like to learn a bunch of languages and travel (although I doubt since it'll be extremely expensive). I don't want to just learn Korean, but it is the one that interests me the most so far. Anyways, my whole point in telling you all this information was to ask if it's weird that I decided I wanted to go to South Korea and major in Korean when it started with kpop? I'm not obsessed (I don't think at least) with it. And I don't want to go to Korea in hopes that I will meet a famous person or in hopes of signing a contract or anything like that. I can't sing or dance to save my life. XD I asked a guy who moved to Korea (I don't know him personally, by the way.) and he said that people will probably think I'm weird. I still go to the Korean schools on the weekends and people don't seem to think I'm weird.. At least not to my face :/ If anything they seem to be intrigued my me and some people even said they thought it was cool. What do you guys think? Do you think it's just a weird obsession or do you think it's interesting?

Koreans and Japanese? Well I didn't know where to write this.. I didn't know if it was okay to write as a question so I made it a notebook instead... I was wondering if anyone could help me better understand the history between Korea and Japan.. I was talking to a Korean person and he seemed to be not too fond of Japan, while on the other hand, I've talked to other Koreans who criticize people like him. He claims that all Koreans (he specifically said men) think like him and I was wondering if I could get other people's views on it.. I know it's a touchy topic and I'm sorry, but I'm just trying to understand him a little bit... I'm not trying to cause any fights so please don't say anything bad about any other country or culture...

What is ㅁ ending? Can someone explain to me what the ㅁ ending means? I think I get it, but I'm not sure. For example; 꿈 - (a) dream, 춤 - dance, but I don't get what 있음 means... Could someone please explain -ㅁ to me?

Comment dit-on "meeting new people" ou "making friends" en français? I want to say "I like meeting new people" or "making friends", but I'm sure how to in French. Would you use 'se recontrer' for meeting?

한국사람들! Is this annoying or weird? 질문이 있어요... 한국사람 아니면 "오빠", "언니", "누나"와 "형"이라는 말은 쓸 수 없어요? 그렇게 싫어? 이상해요? 난 그냥 궁금해요... 대답해 주세요... ^^
