- Grammatically, I don't see any issue. If you say or text your introduction to any Korean speaker, every single one will definitely understand what you are saying. The improvements could be two things: conjunctions and nuances. You are listing sentences without conjunctions, so your introduction sounds like example sentences from a language textbook. If I were you, I would probably reorder sentences and combine them together with some conjunctions. For instance, 안녕하세요, 제 이름은 안나라고 하고요 열여섯 살이에요. 저는 오빠 한 명과 여동생이 있어요. 제 취미는 그림이고 학생이에요. 만나서 반가워요. The next thing would be nuances. The above my example is fine, but I highly doubt any Korean teenagers speak like that. The sentences give the nuances of 20s/30s introduction vives in formal places such as work offices or meetings. This is kind of the hardest part, but sadly this is what it is. Hence, if I re-write your introduction like a real Korean teenager girl, it would be something like 안녕하세요! 전 안나라고해요. 전, 제 위로 오빠한명 그리고 아래로 여동생 한명있는 열여섯살 고등학생이고요. 취미로는 그림을 그려요! 만나서 반가워요! Hopefully, it helps you. Good luck!0 votedJuly 17, 20222
- When Koreans want to refer to "Spain" in 2022, almost all of them use "스페인". You will only ever see the "에스파냐" word when it comes to Koreans talking about old Europe history. Which one is correct? Well, you know. If you want to talk about modern Spain, use "스페인". If you are in an old western history class, use "에스파냐". Otherwise, just stick with "스페인"0 votedJuly 5, 20220
- It is a confusing sentence to a Korean as well. My best guess is that there should be more context or behind-story to it. "뒷바라지" means "supports (family member(s) / devote himself/herself to take care of family". Most of the time, it is only used for certain situations such as parents supporting their children, and wives supporting their husbands. So, I cannot give you the exact meaning of it without knowing the whole context. I believe none of the native Korean speakers do.0 votedJune 10, 20221
- 둘다 기준점을 화자 혹은 주체에 두셔야해요 단순히 이야기해서 화자를 "나"라고 설정하면 "돌아가다"는 내 기준에서 어느곳에서 왔던 사람 혹은 동물이 왔던 곳으로 다시 되돌아간다는걸 의미합니다. 예를들어서, "내 곁에 머물었던, 그녀는 자신의 나라에 다시 돌아갔다". 여기서 그녀는 내 곁에 왔었지만, 다시 본국으로 갔다 라는걸 의미해요 "돌아오다"는 내 기준에서 내 곁에 있던 사람 혹은 동물이 어느곳으로 떠났다가 다시 되돌아오는걸 뜻해요. 위 예제랑 비슷하게 말하면, "내 곁에 머물렀던, 그녀는 잠시나마 자신의 나라에 돌아갔지만, 결국엔 내게로 돌아왔다." 여기서는 비슷하지만 다르게, 그녀는 내 곁에 있었다가 본국에 돌아갔었지만 결국에는 내 곁으로 돌아온거죠. 도움되셨으면 좋겠네요.0 votedJune 10, 20221
- It is not a word. It is a person's name with his title. Since I am even not familiar with him, my best guess is since "대사" refers to a great monk. And, "무학" is given a name. But, this information only applies before the Joseon dynasty, so I am assuming he lived at mid centuries or before. Back to your question, how can you translate it? Maybe, it is better to do something like "Muhak, the great monk", but I am not certain. Because it is something like you are asking me, "How can I translate Alexander, the great into Korean?" Well, Koreans just use the iteral translation to Alexander which "알렉산더 대왕". Hence, it is up to you.0 votedJune 10, 20221
- Well, they depend on the context. I wouldn't say they are the same. "쉽다" means "easy" which can be applied anywhere. For instance, "문제가 쉽다" = "The problem is easy". "이렇게 하면 쉽다" = "If you do this way, it would be easy" Usually, if you use "쉽다", you mean "doing something without or almost no effort". On the other hand, "힘들지 않다" is indeed "not hard". But, it means more like "doing something easily but with some effort" Hopefully, this helps you.0 votedJune 9, 20222
- Since you are asking about the meaning of a fragment sentence, it is hard to give the exact meaning. A rough translation would be "Even though I have been trying hard". The entire sentence can be translated as "Lately I have been studying Korean hard, yet my Korean is a little bit bad".0 votedJune 9, 20222
- 이해하다 means "understand", so it can be used widely such as understanding the meaning of a word, understanding a concept of a theory, understanding body language, and so on. However, 납득하다 is also "understand", but it is more like "sell on someone about something". For instance, let's say that you have an opinion that "strawberry is the best berry among all berries" which is controversial of course. And, I have an opinion that "blackberry is the best berry". If we said both of our opinions, the conversation is definitely contradictory. However, if I somehow managed you convinced and you agreed with my opinion, "blackberry is the best". In this case, you would say "납득했다" instead of "이해했다". Besides this kind of the case, you will hardly hear the word "납득하다".0 votedJune 5, 20221
