Learn How to Celebrate Holidays By Using Korean From "Who Are You"!

In this post, we are going to learn Korean through a conversation between two orphan girls in the K-drama Who are you? Today, we're going to learn new words, especially for some celebrating days!


Scene 1:



● 언니

● older sister


● 이고 뭐야 ?

● What is that?

○ 금메달

○ A gold medal


○ 이거 장난감 아니고 진짜다.

○ It's not a toy, It's real.

금메달



Scene 2:



● 언니 서울에서 살 때 선물 받은 거야 ?

● Did you get it as a gift when you were in Seoul?


○ 응

○ YES


○ 근데, 진짜 주인한테 됼려줘야 돼.

○ But I need to return it to its rightful owner.


○ 원래 주인은 따로 있는데.

○ It belongs to someone else.


○ 그냥 , 내가 대신 받아뒀던 거거든.

○ But I've been holding it for her.


● 근데 , 나 딱 한 번만 만져보면 안 돼 ?

● May I touch it just once ?


○ 그래.

○ Sure.


● 와 , 멋지다!

● Wow, it's so cool!



Scene 3:




● 언니 학교도 가고 싶고 , 친고들도 보고 싶지 ?

● (To her older sister) You want to go to school, and see your friends..right?


● 엄마도 생기고 , 친구들도 많아 졌다면서.

You have a mom and lots of friends now.


● 이제 우리 때문에 계속 여기 안 있어도 돼.

● You don't have to stay here because of us anymore.


● 그 대신 우리 생일 어린이날 , 크리스마스 때는 꼭 오기다 ?

● Instead of that, could you come to our birthday day, Children's Day and Christmas time?


크리스마스 ( Christmas (Day) )


Example :


크리스마스가 다가오고 있다

Christmas is coming.




생일 ( birthday )

Example :


생일이 언제예요?

What's your date of birth? (When is your birthday?)


We talked about birthdays in the previous article, don't forget to read it if you didn't!


어린이날 (Children's Day )


Example :


어린이날을 축하해. 난 이제 어린이가 아니라니 슬퍼.

Happy Children’s Day. It's sad that I’m not a kid anymore.


Scene 4 :




● 약속

● Promise


● 약속하는 거지?

● You're making a promise?

○ 그래.

○ Sure.


○ 약속할게.

○ I promise.


Do you remember the last lesson when we learned what is the word promise in Korean?

If you haven't read the previous lesson, I advise you to refer to it.



And that's it! What was the most useful word for you in this lesson?

I would like to learn about how to say when I go to a restaurant to order and paid a food and how to buy something in the street. Or going to a cinema or buying clothes.

감사합니다 ^^
