    "close" in relationships Many times in K-Drama, the characters will be described in the subtitles as "close". "I see you are close with him" or "They seem to be close". It's often used between characters that may not share the status to be called "친구". I haven't quite been able to pick out the correct Korean term from the dialog. I know there are all kinds of important relationship descriptors, so I'd like to understand how this one is used culturally. Can someone fill me in? Thanks!

    I think "cookie" or "biscuit" is probably close.

    Haha. I have this same problem. I think it's tough for English speakers to hear the difference. "팔" is pronounced with an aspirated "p" sound. I think it should sound like the "p" in "palace". I think "발" has a sound somewhere between "b" and "p" in English. Try saying "balee" and "palee" with a sound that could be either one. Note that the "ㄹ" has a sound between "R" and "L". But that's a problem for another day. ㅋㅋ

    I am learning Korean.  I also have this problem.  I can understand more when I read.  When I listen, sometimes I will miss words even if I already know them.

     

    I think it is because I practice mostly by reading.  I think the only solution is to practice listening more.  The suggestion for listening to TV is good.  I don't think there is a better way than real conversation with another person, though.

     

    Good Luck!

    There can be many answers. What is an example of where you are uncertain?

    They are similar, but not usually the same. Urgency means something important that must be done quickly or soon. Emergency usually means a matter of life and death or a very serious situation.

    I think most native English speakers would consider these words to have the same meaning. However, "quarrel" may have the nuance of a small disagreement with someone you normally are friendly with. You may quarrel with your siblings for example. "Dispute" may mean a disagreement over an issue that may involve more formal arguments. Countries may have disputes over land for example. "Altercation", to me, implies a more angry argument. In casual speech, however, I think they can all be used in the same way.

    "Name" for song or movie? In English, we ask "what is the name?" of a song or movie. Is "name" used in this way in Korean? Would it be correct to ask something like: "이노래의 이름 뭐예요?" Thanks!
