Love your videos. Different from the "typical" Korean teaching content, and yet very helpful, interesting and informative. I think your content works for learners of any level.
I've heard 눈치가 보이다 before and tried to look up the meaning but didn't understand, until now that you explained it :) Thank you for a great video as always!
I know there isn't an exact word, but it seems like the closest to 억울하다 might be resentful or indignant. Both describe bitterness/annoyance over what seems unfair. Another word might be woe/woeful. Defined as great sorrow or grief, this is often used in situations that seem unfair. These are all rather strong words and the most similar words used in mild contexts would be "upset" or "bitter". These are generic words that can be used in a wide range of negative emotions, depending on contexts. After 3 hours of researching, this is the best i could find. Good luck to anybody reading this 👍
Thank you for explaining. It helps me figure out what word/phrase to equate to it for myself. Just a little help with 눈치. 눈치가 없다 - slow, dense, slow-witted 눈치가 빠르다 - quick, sharp, quick-witted 눈치를 채다 - quick, sharp, has good instincts, quick-witted, has a good intuition (Eg. She quick with things like that/ She's very sharp; You're really slow, how didn't you pick that up?; You have good instincts) 눈치를 보다 - feels self conscious, feels bad/weird (to...) 눈치가 보이다 - feels self conscious, feels bad/weird (to...) And with 애매하다 비가 애매하게 와요 - It's drizzling/ There's a light drizzle Hope this was helpful. Note: how I use quick and slow may be dialect and more specific to my country or region
I would argue 눈치가 없다 is not necessarily slow-witted; I don’t think slow-witted would be used for someone who, for example, is very intelligent but won’t stop talking and loudly says OW when someone is trying to secretly kick them under the table to stop 😁 “dense” seems more appropriate and more situation-specific. Also 눈치를 채다 is a verb, to “catch on” so it’s different from 눈치가 빠르다, and I just realized I should have put this in the video lol! But thank you for sharing your interpretations!
Thank you for your great explanations! :) Those not-really-translatable words are always the hardest to grasp! Does that mean 애매하다 is kind of used whenever you're not sure what action to take because you could do either option? Like, I could take an umbrella, but I could also try to just go without one and I'm asking myself or maybe others what to do?
Thank you so much for your videos. They are the only ones that really resonate with me and the way I learn. Just a note on 애매하다: in your example of the vague rain, in English we would say that it is misting outside (think of a fine mist from a perfume sprayer) or drizzling which is a bit heavier but still not significant. For rain that is in between a mist and a drizzle, we might say that it is spitting outside (gross, I know, but there it is).
These kinds of words are probably my favorite ones to learn. Great video! 재미있다 since it can be "funny", "fun", or "interesting" doesn't fit neatly with English translation as well sometimes. Especially when it's an adjective like 주말에 재미있게 보내세요!
hello! Please make a video why Koreans talk differently from how they write. Thanks! I am afraid that I make sentences written and apply the way how I talk and it could look not proper. Thanks!
이판사판 does seem like a hard one! 😁 Also if I may make a small correction, 공부를 아무리 해도 (no matter how much I study) seems to be the word you’re looking for! 👍
진짜 한국 형용사들 중에서는 영어로 번역도 안 되고, 영어에서 만족스러운 단어도 없는 경우가 너무 많아요!!! 사전을 찾아도 성에 차는 정의나 설명을 찾기도 힘들고... 남편한테 말할 때도 표정이랑 몸짓으로 하게 되더라구요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 선생님 설명하시는 거 보면서 매우 공감하고 갑니다 ㅎㅎㅎㅎ Patreon 시작하자마자 후원자 분들 생기셨군요, 역시! 계속 대박 나셔요! ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
I like this format, nice videoo ^^ I remember 아쉽다 was my first word I learned hanging out... even when we were having a nice time the issue with not be able to talk about more and more things cuz the language barrier was 아쉽다 hahahaha The meaning sticks into ur head when u experience it
I love your videos! I'm a native spanish speaker and now I really wanna learn korean and you are helping a lot with pronunciation details and word examples. thank you so much, keep it up :D
Just wanted to add a helpful tip. Use dialect in your studies. Standard English (or whatever language) is great but you're probably more likely to call to mind what you're more accustomed to saying first.
누나 안녕. I want to ask when ㄹ is between vowels, I've watched your video and you said it's an alveolar flap. But while doing that flap I should make the L sound in alveolar ridge while flapping my tongue? Like should I do the Flap L in that alveolar ridge?
@@YourKoreanSaem 누나 I mean. While making the flap should I make an L sound? So flap + L combined to make that ㄹ between 2 vowels. I've watched your video about ㄹ, we also have flap R like in Spanish but I can say it's not the same in ㄹ and flap R in Spanish. Because I notice when ㄹ comes at the first word you place the tongue on your alveolar ridge then make an L sound in that spot. Then when ㄹ is between 2 vowels then it's pronounced on your alveolar ridge then flap it while saying an L right? Cause the only difference are just the flap of a tongue right? When other saying 사랑해 syllable by syllable they say 사-랑(Lang)-해 rather than 사-랑(Spanish R-ang)-해. so it's just sayin an L while flapping the tongue?
안녕하세요 쌤 🐰✨This is random but can you do comprehensible input videos, I don't see much for Korean but there's alot for Japanese, so please consider it thank you :)
Great video, I can finally understand what 아쉽다 means exactly lol. Thank you!! Please keep uploading videos. I always watch them late but I'm here sooner or later
Thank you, so so helpful. I have a question about 눈치, because I've also seen it when Koreans are gaslighting each other. Is there a term for this? For example, someone is super bossy and wants someone else to do their work for them. But the other person has too much work so doesn't do the other person's work. So the bossy person insults them by sayiing they have no 눈치. Does that make sense? ㅋㅋ
make one video about korean 漢字 , not teaching about 漢字, but explaining about how korean language originated and how chinese influenced korean language . btw i just know that 사람 cant be written as 人, because in japanese ひと (히토) , which is native japanese word, can be written as 人。
안녕, I want to ask about batchim ㅇ that has "ng" sound followed by ㅇ that's a placeholder/no sound. Does the ㅇ batchim that has "Ng" sound will replace the ㅇ in the next syllable that is just a placeholder or has no sound? For example 가방이 will pronounced as (가-바-"Ngi") or 쌍둥이 will pronounced as (쌍-두-"Ngi")?
@@YourKoreanSaem So in short the ㅇ batchim that has "ng" sound will just remain in that batchim and will never replace the sound of ㅇ that has no sound?
Love your videos. Different from the "typical" Korean teaching content, and yet very helpful, interesting and informative. I think your content works for learners of any level.
I agree.
I've heard 눈치가 보이다 before and tried to look up the meaning but didn't understand, until now that you explained it :) Thank you for a great video as always!
I feel like 눈치 is like best defined as social awareness. Like good at reading people.
I know there isn't an exact word, but it seems like the closest to 억울하다 might be resentful or indignant. Both describe bitterness/annoyance over what seems unfair.
Another word might be woe/woeful. Defined as great sorrow or grief, this is often used in situations that seem unfair.

I think the 눈치가 채다 has an English counterpart that "a person has a good instinct" hahahahaha
Do you think it’s like having intuition?
but i think that is the explanation of the word in english , not english word that is equivalent of that word
Would “discernment” be the English word?
Not 눈치가 채다
눈치를 채다 or 눈치 채다
other variants
눈치 챘네,눈치를 챘네
눈치를 챘구나,눈치 챘구나
눈치 챘어,눈치를 냈어
눈치를 챘고,눈치 챘고
눈치를 챘노,눈치 챘노
눈치를 챘구려,눈치 챘구려
눈치를 챘냐,눈치 챘냐
눈치를 챘는데,눈치 챘는데
눈치를 챘지만,눈치 챘지만
눈치를 챘어요,눈치를 챘습니다
눈치를 챘다,눈치 챘다
눈치를 챘네,눈치 챘네
Thank you for explaining. It helps me figure out what word/phrase to equate to it for myself.
Just a little help with 눈치.
눈치가 없다 - slow, dense, slow-witted
눈치가 빠르다 - quick, sharp, quick-witted
눈치를 채다 - quick, sharp, has good instincts, quick-witted, has a good intuition
(Eg. She quick with things like that/ She's very sharp; You're really slow, how didn't you pick that up?; You have good instincts)
눈치를 보다 - feels self conscious, feels bad/weird (to...)
눈치가 보이다 - feels self conscious, feels bad/weird (to...)
And with 애매하다
비가 애매하게 와요 - It's drizzling/ There's a light drizzle
Hope this was helpful.
Note: how I use quick and slow may be dialect and more specific to my country or region
It was a nice summary. Thank you.
I would argue 눈치가 없다 is not necessarily slow-witted; I don’t think slow-witted would be used for someone who, for example, is very intelligent but won’t stop talking and loudly says OW when someone is trying to secretly kick them under the table to stop 😁 “dense” seems more appropriate and more situation-specific.
Also 눈치를 채다 is a verb, to “catch on” so it’s different from 눈치가 빠르다, and I just realized I should have put this in the video lol! But thank you for sharing your interpretations!
눈치 when using it to describe someone's personality will be "observant" in eng .
This was really good explanation and informative video. Thank you.
Intuition was what I thought would be a good translation
Intuition has a separate word, 직감! 😁
Thank you for your great explanations! :) Those not-really-translatable words are always the hardest to grasp!
Does that mean 애매하다 is kind of used whenever you're not sure what action to take because you could do either option? Like, I could take an umbrella, but I could also try to just go without one and I'm asking myself or maybe others what to do?
It could be used in that kind of situation!
@@YourKoreanSaem Thank you! 💜

Does these sentences make sense then?

2. 이 주제에 대해서 애매하게 공부했기 때문에 시험 합격을 못 했어요.

It does make sense, but I think for the second one I would say 제대로 공부 안 했기 때문에 (didn’t study properly) rather than 애매하게 😊

Not sure what you meant there.
You are so underrated! You deserve more. I rerely see such creative and useful content. ❤
The sample sentences are really helpful! Thank you!!
비가 애매하게 와요 you could also say, “It is only sprinkling outside.“ A time when it’s lightly raining out, no umbrella required.
Or it's only drizzling 🙂
Thank you. This was an interesting video.
maybe you could tanslate 눈치 as reading the room? like in the literal and figurative sense
Great video! Really helpful. So well explained and insightful. Hope you make a lot more videos imparting that sweet sweet language knowledge!! 😄😄

Is 답답하다 another word that has no equivalent English word?
I’d translate it as stuffy for physical feeling, or frustrating for people/situations! But it is a very nuanced word 😁
