Right, as "Lee" said it means "just now", in this case. 막 can have a couple of meanings (as far as I know). One is the one you mentioned, and the other is....."carelessly " or in Korean 함부로. And this one is used QUITE frequently, especially in casual conversation. An example is 막 말한다 ... I would say the word 막 and 말하다 are used together quite frequently. And the only way you would translate this, you would probably have to revert to slang. In Korean it's just an adverb, but the level of emotion that it gives to the expression, you would most likely only find in English slang. So, a great English slang example would be "I was just talking out of my ass". Obviously (be warned English students) that this is slang, and if you were to say this expression in English you would have to be with the right people to do so comfortably. In Korean however, the word 막, while it is used often informally, would not quite reach the level of slang that the above expression would in English. This is what makes it such an indispensable word in Korean. It is very useful. I heard a Korean friend of mine talking one day and the sentence he used was "내가 막 이래" And if you look at that sentence it gives you a good insight into how Koreans talk sometimes. In that sentence, where is the verb? There isn't one. Korean at times, can be a very vague language, that uses emotion to express meaning, over precise meaning. So there is no verb specified here, and it can be interpreted in many ways. It could mean "This is how I talk" "This is how I am" "This is what I do" Now, regardless of what this person said or did, the point of this short sentence is that the person what doing it carelessly. This shows how important the word 막 is, in the sentence. There are a TON of words like this in Korean, which subjectively add meaning to the sentence. But the one you mentioned I would say is in the top 10. Words like this, make Korean a fun language. Whereas in Enlgish you constantly find yourself trying to carefully articulate the "who" "what" and "when" in the sentence, in Korean these things can tend to take a back seat to more emotional language, with the understanding that both parties already know who did what where. Another example is 총알이 막 날라왔다 "The bullets were flying from all over the place" Now, the point of the sentence here is the emotion that the word 막 gives to the sentence. The feeling it gives it chaos. As if bullets are just randomly coming from everywhere. The best way to study these in my opinion, is to carefully watch how they come up in context, and just keep it in mind the next time you hear them come up. Then you will form a larger narrative in your head for the real nuance of the word. They can be tough~~ ^_^;;

Usually Korean doesn't have words for "let", and "make" as in "let me do it" and "make me do it" So instead, the language uses grammar to express that. The grammar used for "make" and "let" is the same. (If you think about it, the meanings in English are quite similar) The grammar is (verb)하게 하다~ Make (someone) do it - 하게하다 Make someone go- 가게하다 Make someone drink 마시게 하다 Make someone leave 나가게 하다 So you can see that you take the verb stem, drop the 다 and add 게, then add the verb 하다, and you got it. 1. That makes me sad 나를 슬프게 한다. 2. What you say makes me happy 네가 나한테 해주는말이 나를 기쁘게한다 3. That person makes me angry 쟤가 (or) 저사람이 나를 화나게한다 4. Too much food makes you fat (this one, you don't need to use the grammar for "make" 너무 많이 먹으면 뚱뚱해진다 This one is just simply "if you eat a lot you get fat". You COULD go out of your way to say "makes me fat", but Koreans don't really use that grammar for this kind of sentence. So keep that in mind when studying Korean. English speakers like to use words like "make" and "let" , and it CAN be translated, but you will find it shows up less in conversation among Koreans than it would among English speakers. That being said, the grammar is still very useful. As for "let", you would see this grammar less, and instead you would just see "gave me permission to" So sentences where in English you would say "let", in Korean you would see sentences that emphasized "permission" (허락) , "give permission" (허락 해주다) So you can say "그사탕을 먹는걸 허락 해주줬다" Maybe this is something you would say if your Dad let you eat candy. Otherwise, there are sentences like this. This sentence uses "send someone out" (which could be translated as "let someone go out" >>선생님이 보내주셨다 - "The teacher let me leave" (literally: The teacher sent me out) Notice the subject is not always clear in the sentences above, as leaving out the subject is quite common when it's implied who you are talking about. You can always add the subject to emphasize, or when it is not clear who it is. Note: If a Korean native speaker notices a mistake and wants to correct my answer, feel free!! Or add anything if you feel like it clarifies the grammar. There are always different ways to approach grammar. I hope my answer helps! ^_^

"The value of true rest"

I'll try one too~~ <<It's hard to find a true friend among so many. Once you find this rare kind of relationship, don't let it go.>> You could probably translate 请不要不在乎 in a lot of ways, depending on how poetic or how literal you want to be. Remember not to ignore it. Don't neglect this love / it. Don't let it go. Don't forget it. ^_^

我不清楚怎么翻成中文 我试看看翻成英文 .오죽 했으면 우리에게까지 그런 부탁을 핬겠어요? 1. That person must have had a really difficult time for him/her to feel he/she had to come to us for that.
