- Help with my first Korean poem Okay here are a few lines of my first korean poem that I need corrections/help with - would be really grateful! 아줌마께서 기다리고 있어 - Ajuma is waiting 점심 같이랑 기다리고있어 - Waiting with lunch 점심 (for) 제위는 배고파 - I want to say "lunch for my hungry stomach", but I don't know how to say "for" :( 김치는 항상 - I think this translates as 'There is always kimchi', but I want to be more poetic and say 'Kimchi is everlasting' - can someone help me with this? 한개 전체의 튀긴 계란은 - And is this the correct writing for 'one whole fried egg'? I used '은' at the end because I want to emphasis that this is the only one... does this work? Thank you in advance for any responses!October 9, 201540
- 한개 달걀만 (my first Korean poem) Okay, there are soooo many mistakes here I know. But I really want to get this poem correct and post it to my creative writing blog. So I will be so happy if someone can help correct the mistakes (and also a couple questions in there). I hope it's not too bad :) 아주마는 기다리고있어, Ajuma is waiting, 점심 같이랑 기다리고있어, waiting with lunch, (for)제위는 배고파, lunch for my hungry stomach, 저는배고파! I am hungry! 아주 배고파. Very hungry. 단백쟐은 먹고싶어... I want protein... 그렇지만 단백쟐없어... But there is no protein... 없어!!! None!!! 밥만 있어, 그리고 There is only rice, and 국, 그리고 Soup, and 김치 kimchi - 김치는 항상 - kimchi is always (I want to say 'Kimchi is everlasting') 달랼. Egg 한개 달걀만 있어. There is only one egg. 단백쟐은 여섯개그램만. Only 6 grams of protein. (do I need to add '있어'? I don't really want to say 'there is...', it's poetic ;) ) 밥위에 단백쟐은 여섯개. 6 grams of protein on my rice. (again, does it make sense without '있어'?) 충분하지 않아, It's not enough, 게, 충분하지 않아. No, it's not enough. 저는배고파 아직도, I'm still hungry, 그리고 지금 안구에 습기있어... and now I have moisture in my eyes (this is a slang term, to suggesting I'm about to cry, right? Can I use it like this?)October 7, 201540
- 무슨 / 뭐 - different use? I'm only a beginner and came across these two different uses of 'what' in a sentence (I know there are probably more as well...) 1) 이거 뭐에요? - The form I'm familiar with... 2) 무슨 책을 읽어요? - and the form I just came across and I'm not familiar with... Can anyone help clarify the why the different use? Thanks :)August 13, 201510
- 저는 영국에서 온... Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with a formal introduction. I want to tell the person (i.e. a new employer) my name and that I come from England, rather than just '영국사람 입니다'. So I wanted to use '영국에서 온..' after saying my name to say 'I come from England', but do I need to add something to 온 for the formality? Like '옵니다'? Sorry my level is still beginner and I'm just exploring different ways to introduce myself. Is something like this correct when meeting my new employer for the first time?: "안녕하세요? 저는 재이슨이 입니다 그리고 (I'm not sure this is the correct use of '그리고' to mean 'and') 영국에서 옵니다. 처음 뵙겠슴니다, 잘 부탁 드십니다." Thanks for any feedback :)Oh and I just thought... does using the verb '오다' in this context mean I 'come from' England as in I am 'from' England by nationality? Or does it just have the connotation that England is the last place I flew/travelled from? Sorry... so many questions about something so small!August 4, 201530
I´m gonna talk a little bit about me.
Hi everybody my name is Samuel, I'm a sixteen years old Spaniard Spanish (or you can say "Spaniard" without "guy" - but it sounds a bit old-fashioned or funny; something my dad would say!) guy, at the moment I´m living in Switzerland studying German but in September i go I'm going (more gramatically corrent - but "I go" is fine for conversation") back to Spain (my country) to do my last year in of High School and I'm thinking about my future (college).
So I want be a video-game's (i.e. developer "of" video games) developer and have been seeing for looking at study in Japan, and one of the requirements was a ``really good English level´´, and this is one of the reasons because I´m here now. Of course there are more reason like for example my passion of for learning languages (I really like it). In the past my English level used to be higher but of course so much time without practicing my level got worse. My languages objectives are at the moment are these one: (English=C2 ; German=C1 or higher ; Japanese=N2) , and I know is hard get achieving these levels in just one year but I´m gonna give all of me it everything.
Hmm talking a little more about me.
My hobbies are: playing video-games, play soccer, play basketball, (because you said "playing" already, it sound more natural not to repeat it) traveling, hear listening to music(rock, metal, rap, hip-hop...),learning languages and reading books.
Nice to meet you all and thank you very much for reading about me.
PS: I speak Spanish so if somebody wants, we could have a language exchange.
[Please say tell me my mistakes and again thanks.]0 votedJuly 13, 20152- It's better not to use the definite article for 'break', the same as we don't say 'I go to the lunch at 3pm", but "I go to lunch at 3pm". Same for breakfast, dinner etc. Also because 'break' is a time of the day, it's more natural to say something like "break is the best time during my school day. At that time we go to...." English often has to be quite specific :) And it's best to put the location (i.e. "canteen") before the verb "to eat", because you have made this the subject of your sentence by saying "we go to..." so... "Break is the best time of day during school. At that time we go to the canteen to have our lunch. After break we go back to class. In the evening we have to stay in school for practical classes." But it all sounds great and definitely makes sense!0 votedJuly 12, 20150
The books.
Hi,guys!
Do you like to read books?
The books are the best humanity ,invention,aren' t it?
They invite us to other world.
It's incredible:)
It's my hobby."Books!" ~ You don't need to use 'The' because we are not being specific, only general - BOOKS! :)
"Do you like reading books?" ~ continuous tense sounds more fluent - it's an action!
"Books are the best human invention, aren't they?" ~ one book = "isn't it?" - lots of books = "aren't they?"
"They invite us to other worlds" - lots of other worlds! They are so many! :)
It's my hobby too. I love reading books!
