In Depth Body Vocab [pt. 3]

A lot of people liked PART TWO a lot! Thank you for all your kind comments and praise! PART THREE will cover the skin and necessary vocabulary underneath. Enjoy <3

*picture is of a chest (half skeleton, half muscle) and a skull (necessary vocabulary is highlighted)

뼈대 - skeleton

skeleton can also be translated as: 해골 and 골격

major differences between 뼈대, 해골, and 골격: 뼈대 and 해골 are the most similar. Sometimes 해골 can refer to only the skull (see skull for a better understanding) - both of these refer to dead skeletons. However, 해골 comes from 한자 ‘骸骨’. The word 골격 also comes from 한자 meaning 骨格 (frame, figure) or 骨骼 (skeleton).

근육 - muscle

뼈 - bone

인대 - ligament

살 - flesh (not skin, but the ‘meaty-like’ part; almost like fat)

관절 - joint

두개골 / 해골 - skull

major difference between 두개골 and 해골: both come from 한자 ( 두개골 = 頭蓋骨 // 해골 = 骸骨), however, 해골 (according to a Korean native speaker), refers to the picture of a skull. Whereas 두개골 refers to the actual, physical skull.

광대뼈 - cheekbone

아래턱뼈 - mandible (jaw)

코뼈 - nasal bone

Example Sentences:

다행히 뼈에는 이상이 없나요 - Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with the bone (the bone is alright/not broken).

우리 오빠는 축구를 하다 인대가 늘어났어요 - My brother pulled a ligament while playing soccer.

*picture is of an eye and a pair of lips with blemishes (necessary vocabulary is highlighted)

피부 - skin

여드름 - pimple / zit

기미 / 주근깨 - freckles

major difference between 기미 and 주근깨: 기미 refers to spots you get from the sun (not usually pleasant) while 주근깨 translated to actual freckles

다래끼 - sty

수염 - facial hair (this can be a mustache or beard)

애교 살 - the fatty pocket under the eyes

다크서클 - dark circles

점 - mole, spot

흉터 / 흠 - a scar, blemish

major difference between 흉터 and 흠: 흉터 refers to an actual scar made a long time ago whereas 흠 considers all types of blemishes or flaws on the skin

not to be confused with 상처 (injury/wound that JUST happened) and 멍자국 (bruise)

입슬허피스 / 입슬의 발진 - cold-sore

difference: 입슬허피스 = lip herpes VS 입슬의 발진 = lip rash

Example Sentences:

여드름을 짜다가 세균에 감염될 수도 있어요 - If you pop your pimples, you might spread germs.

저는 작녀에 얼굴에 있는 점들을 뺐어요 - I had a few moles removed.

Extra Vocab to Know:

주름(살) - wrinkles / crease

혹 - bump / lump

땀 - sweat

눈곱 - sleep (the goop in your eye when you wake up; eye boogies)

하품(하다) - sigh (to sigh)

방귀 - fart

트림(하다) - burp (to burp)

소름 - goosebumps / goose pimples

딸꾹질(하다) - hiccup (to hiccup)

I received an ask last night asking about the word for ‘throat’. You could use 목 to describe your throat but a more technical term would be 목구멍. However, this isn’t used as often. For example:

목이 아프다 - a sore throat 희주는 눈물에 목이 메였다 - tears clogged Hee-Ju’s throat

Hope that clears up some confusion!

Happy Learning :)

korean adverbs that don’t really translate

adverbs are words that come before a verb and describe the manner/time/frequency/place in which the verb is done. this is true for both korean and english.

the examples below are known as ‘adverbials’ - just like adverbs, except they are taken from existing verbs that then have -게 added to them. there are a few of these manner-describing adverbials in korean that don’t have direct equivalents in english, but they are really common so it’s good to know what they convey.

편하게 친구랑 만났어

direct translation - I met my friend comfortably

conveyed meaning - the speaker met with a friend in an easy manner, without hassle, they feel comfortable when meeting, a lowkey or chilled meeting.

맛있게 먹어요!

direct translation - eat deliciously!

conveyed meaning - the speaker is telling the listener to eat with a good appetite, to enjoy their meal fully.

재미있게 봐줘서 고마워

direct translation - thanks for watching enjoyably

conveyed meaning - the speaker is thanking the listener for enjoying something they watched. this is used a lot by idols on social media, like they acknowledge that their fans had fun watching their performance.

Since COVID I’ve noticed more Korean teachers posting lessons on Youtube. A lot of them have criminally low views so I thought I would provide some links as I think they would be useful to many of you.

While the lessons are mostly in Korean please don’t be put off. The teachers speak slowly and clearly so even low intermediate learners should have no problem understanding :)

아임달imdal Korean teacher

Grammar and vocab videos both TOPIK specific and more everyday content. Beginner through to high intermediate level. I really like all of the videos I have watched. In some of her videos she sets ‘homework’ and asks viewers to post in in the comments and she will personally mark it for you!

현명한 선택,知好樂

Mainly intermediate level grammar comparison videos (ie, what is the difference between similar grammar points). She takes requests from viewers.

10분한국어 10min Korean

As the channel name suggests most of her videos are around 10 minutes long. Predominately intermediate and advanced grammar lessons but she also has videos on hanja.

베이직 코리안 basic Korean

Beginner content from reading and pronouncing hangul through to basic grammar. Videos are in Korean but have English subtitles.

PARKSSEAM OK-KOREAN

Intermediate level. It seems like she goes through a whole textbook in her videos. There are also TOPIK writing videos.

I’m ______ing — -고 있다, -아/어 있다, -는 중이다

ㅈIn English, we use the progressive tense very commonly, and it’s just as useful in Korean. The progressive tense is used any time you want to indicate that an action or state is ongoing. For example:

I’m going to the store.

He is eating an apple.

Of course, it can be used in more than just the present tense. We also have past progressive:

I was doing my homework.

He was reading a book.

And we have future progressive as well:

I will be cooking dinner.

They will be taking a test.

So how do we make these kinds of sentences in Korean? There are a few simple ways.

Simple present tense

Unlike in English, simple present tense in Korean can sometimes be read with a progressive meaning. Simply conjugate your verb in whatever formality level you see fit in the present tense, and you’re done! For example:

A: 뭐 해? (What are you doing?)

B: 난 학교에 가. (I’m going to school.)

In this short dialogue, we have two verbs conjugated in low-formality 해체/반말 in the simple present tense, but we can read them as progressive.

A: 뭘 먹어요? (What are you eating?)

B: 사과를 먹어요. (I’m eating an apple.)

Again, we have simple present tense, but in mid-formality 해요체.

Simple present tense as progressive is commonly used when, as seen above, someone asks what someone else is doing.

-고 있다

-고 있다 is the most commonly used way to form progressive sentences to indicate that an action is ongoing. Simply add -고 있다 to the root of the verb and conjugate 있다 as normal.

PAST:

그림을 그리고 있었어요. (I was drawing a picture.)

수빈이는 뭘 읽고 있었어요? (What was Subin reading?)

PRESENT:

아기는 울고 있어요. (The baby is crying.)

세원 씨는 일하고 있어요? (Is Sewon working?)

FUTURE:

다음 주 이 때쯤 전 부산으로 운전하고 있을 거예요. (This time next week, I will be driving to Busan.)

수원 씨는 2년 후에 선생님으로 일하고 있을 거예요. (In two years, Suwon will be working as a teacher.)

-아/어 있다

-아/어 있다 is used to indicate that a state is ongoing. Rather than someone or something actively doing something, that person or thing is continuously existing in a particular state.

PAST

맨 뒷자리에 앉아 있었어요. (I was sitting in the far back seat.)

한 시간 안에 소주 5병을 다 마셔버린 수훈 씨는 밤 내내 엄청 취해 있었어요. (Suhun, who had drunk five bottles of soju within an hour, was extremely drunk all night.

PRESENT

친구는 거기서 서 있어요. (My friend is standing there.)

이웃사람이 이사가서 저 집은 비어 있어요. (My neighbors moved, so that house is empty.)

FUTURE

성수기니까 호텔들이 다 가득 차 있을 거예요. (Because it’s peak season, all the hotels will be packed full.)

10월말까지 저 산촌은 눈으로 덮여 있을 거예요. (That mountain village will be covered by snow by the end of October.)

-는 중이다

This grammatical form literally means “to be in the middle of” something. Simply attach it to the root of your action verb of choice!

PAST

어머니께서 전화하셨을 때 저는 청소하는 중이었어요. (When mother called, I was in the middle of cleaning.)

승진 씨가 저한테 숙제 좀 도와달라고 부탁했는데 저는 이미 다른 친구 만나러 가는 중이었어요. (Seungjin asked me for help with homework, but I was already on my way to meet another friend.)

PRESENT

저는 집에 가는 중이에요. (I am going home [I am in the middle of going home].)

수빈 씨는 숙제를 하는 중이에요. (Subin is in the middle of doing her homework.)

FUTURE

11시니 찬웅이는 오는 중일 거야. (It’s 11, so Chanwoong will be [in the middle of] coming.)

그때쯤 그 사람은 점심을 먹는 중일 거예요. (About that time, that person will be eating lunch.)

As always, thanks for reading, and happy studying~

German Loan-Words In Korean

여러분 안녕하세요!

Yes I am still alive. I have been - and still am - dealing with things in Real Life that take up all my energy (namely depression and anxieties), but I wanted to make this post because it was something I stumbled over. Loan words. Many languages - maybe even all I don’t know - have loan words from other languages. Korean is no exception. We often hear the english ones because most of us know English a whole lot better than other languages unless your native language is another one.

As you may know I’m German. So when I stumbled over two words that sounded very familiar to me - because they were pretty much German but with Korean pronunciation - I had to look up more German loan words and found a page in the wiktionary. So I wanted to share these words with you from the perspective of a German.

Many of these are chemical elements or city names, but also has some that are not, I will keep them all in though, just to be complete.

Let’s go! 가자!

ㄱ

가톨릭 - Catholicism - German: Katholik

갈륨 - gallium - German: Gallium - chemical element

게놈 - genom - German: Genom - complete genetic information of an organism

게르마늄 - germanium - German: Germanium - chemical element

그라프 - graph - German: Graph

그람 - gram - German: Gramm - Unit of measurement

깁스 - cast - German: Gips - cast for a broken bone

ㄴ

나치 - Nazi - German: Nazi

나트륨 - sodium - German: Natrium - chemical element

노이로제 - neurosis - German: Neurose

ㄷ

도이췰란드 - Germany - German: Deutschland - This seems to be obsolete in South Korea, they now use 독일 but according to the wiktionary it’s still used in North Korea

ㄹ

뢴트겐 - X-Ray - German: Röntgen

루페 - Magnifying glass - German: Lupe

리히텐슈타인 - Liechtenstein - German: Liechtenstein - A country in Europe

ㅁ

망간 - manganese - German: Mangan - chemical element

뮌헨 - Munich - German: München - City in Germany.

메스 - scalpel - German: Messer (Messer is the word for knife) - This is one noted as being dutch in origin but as it is so similar to the German word I am including it

ㅂ

베른 - Bern - German: Bern - Capital of Switzerland

베를린 - Berlin - German: Berlin - Capital of Germany

벤졸 - benzene - German: Benzol - chemical compound

본 - Bonn - German: Bonn - German City

빈 - Vienna - German: Wien - Capital of Austria

ㅅ

슈니첼 - schnitzel - German: Schnitzel - A food

ㅇ

아르바이트 - Part-Time Job, Side Job, German: Arbeit - Any kind of work full time, part time, chores, a task, hobby etc.

알레르기 - allergy - German: Allergie

에네르기 - energy - German: Energie

에스체트 - eszett - German: Eszett - the letter ß

왈츠 - waltz - German: Walzer - a dance

요오드 - iodine - Germany: Jod

요한 - John - German: Johann - a name

이데올로기 - ideology - German: Ideologie

ㅊ

취리히 - Zurich - German: Zürich - City in Switzerland

ㅋ

칼륨 - potassium - German: Kalium - chemical element

코크스 - coke - German: Koks - coal product

쾰른 - cologne - German: Köln - City in Germany

크롬 - chromium/chrome - German: Chrom

크바르크 - quark/cottage cheese - German: Quark

크세논 - xenon - German: Xenon - chemical element

ㅌ

테마 - topic/theme - German: Thema

ㅍ

페스트 - plague - German: Pest

프로 / 퍼센트 - percent - German: Prozent - %

플루오르 - fluorine - German: Flour - chemical element

ㅎ

호프 - bar/pub - German: Hofbräu (in German this is a certain kind of beer)

So if you are German or know some German maybe these can help you to remember these words more easily. While not all of them will be useful in everyday life, some may be. And if you wonder if Korean has any words from your language in their vocabulary, check out this page.

Thank you all for still being here and learning with me, even if I am quiet for a while. More coming soon I hope! :)

Until then. Stay awesome! 화이팅
