Korean Language~~한국어~2

Hi~~~^^

Today let's go on with the explanation of the basis...>}

I will show u how to build a sentence xDxD even if it can seems though, with a bit of practice (since the order of words is different from English word..and resembles a little bit to German order of words).

Here we go!

1. SENTENCE ORDER~

A sentence can be create following 3 ways...: 

SUBJECT + NOUN

SUBJECT + VERB

SUBJECT + ADJECTIVE

SUBJECT + OBJECT + VERB

NB: The tense of the sentence is determinated by the end of it: noun, verb, adjective, or verb.

For example: to go....went...

good....was good...

in Korean : 

to go = 가다 (ka)...went = 갔다 (katta)

good = 좋다 (choda)...was good = 촣았다 (choatta)

Anyway...these will be explained better later~

In Korean, to distinguish subject or object u should use some particles, that explain the function:

• 는 & 은 (introduce a topic)

는 is used for nouns without a final consonant, and 은 for nouns with a final consonant.

EX: 난 (consonant+vowel) 사람은. (i am a person) ~na nun sa ram un

그는 친절하다 ~ geu nun tchin chor ha da (he is kind)

• 가 & 이

가 can be used to express who did the action, while u can use 는 to express the action.

for example ~ 내가 샀다 = i bought smth. (the attention is focused on who did the action)

난 샀다 = i bought = the attention is focused on the fact that i bought rather than doing smth)

가 is used for words without a final consonant and 이 for words with a final consonant.

for example ~ 민지가 왔다 = Min-ji came 

or 

동생이 먹었다 = younger sister ate.

Pieces of Korea ^^) Korean night^^

Talking about culture, and since just in some days will be the kick off of an

important cultural festival

in Canada, which I saw^^ It's called "Folklorama". This is the biggest and long

lasting festival ever!

It's a nice way for foreigners that live in Canada to join and to "remember" their

origins.

When the time of Folklorama comes, Canadians go crazy, litterally!! hahahahah

All people go the see the pavillions till late night.

There are lots of pavillions, different countries pavillions, and festivals (that

usually are dances, exibithions, typical dishes ext..) from 6pm till 1am.

I went there with my cousins, and I had fun^^)) bcos I could watch the

countries festival that I was

interested the most.

I saw many many pavillions such as: Korean, Japanese, American, Irish,

Ucranian, Italian, Chinese, Punjab, Philipino extext..

But! As you imagine I want to focus on the Korean pavillion.


In this pavillion, there was Korean typical dishes, Hangul writing, some

paintings, all under the music of BigBang "Tonight" xD

Eventually, there was the final show that consisted in the "Fans Dance", very

intresting. It was really impressive, hope to see it one day in Korea.

한강 - Han River ^^

Hi everyone,

I try to write as much as possible, bcos I'm not sure then I can write everyday

bcos I will be busy with University..ç__ç


Awesome day spent at 한강 - Hanriver, but before going there we                 

(오빠:friend & me) we went to cafe,shopping, restaurant, and finally HanRiver 

Actually, the idea didn't make me feel surprised, bcos I used to see it simply as

plain river with nothing so see or to do. But! I imagined wrongly...well..let's talk

later about that :)

We begun the day going shopping, first at Gangnam Station, 8 Seconds,

Zara...even though I was more interested go to Guess (게스) 

*one of my bad point is that there is a brand in which I'm not fond of, I avoid even to see it*

Gosh..but nevertheless..It was pretty good day^^))




After that, bcos of very very hot weather,went to ATwosome Place (my

favourite cafe for smoothies)  in there we tried the Blueberry and

Blackberry Ice-Cream. The presentation of it was sooo

huge, kkkkk it was a very big cup full of crushed ice, then,  ice cream with fruit

topping.

yummy :3 This is called 빙수, about 9,800won. (10$)
 

Inside of Cafe ^3^



BEFORE

 

HALF WAY KKKK

 

 

Then, it was almost dinner time..so we decided to eat at a Restaurant nearby,

there we both took 냉면 (Naeng-myeong) Cold noodles very tasty and fresh^^

But!!!! extremely spicy, as hell, full of 고추 (gochu =spicy red pepper sauce)

 

It was miracle if I didn't spit fire kkkkkk

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At around 9 or 10pm we walked till HanRiver ^^ quite crowded, people

everywhere, who was lying on the grass or who was sitting on the border of the

river drinking beer^^

Moreover, we were also lucky that there was kind of music festival, so there was

a lively atmosphere^^


I discovered that it's not just a simple park, but includes football pitches,

skateboarding parks, tennis and basketball courts, swimming pools, workout

stations, and last but not least it's perfect place for biking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

During day is not such impressive as it is at night! Nightime is

really ...speachless and of course with all those lights very romantic^^))

 

 

There are cafes, an italian restaurant, which quality is unknown :p  but they

 

have a good architectural shape.

We stayed there for long time to see even some fireworks..awwwww extremely

 

great night^^))

All that glitters ain't gold ^^ Seoul bad point.

Hello^^ 안녕^^


As it said : " all that glitters ain't gold"  Seoul don't have only positive points. All

countries don't have

just positive aspects, but also bad ones. There are some cities which have lots

of cons, and those with lots of pros. According to my experience, Seoul have

little cons...and one of that is in my

opinion.... ITAEWON  (이태원)

Have a look! Doesn' t it look like a mosque???
 

Itawon is the real meltin pot of culture, full of nightlife, foreign restaurants, but

in my opinion is the

most dangerous place in Seoul, the main causa can be of course the presence of

the U.S. soldiers.

At night they go out, get drunk and then they can cause messes around.

And from what my Korean friends told me, it also has a red light district (Hooker

Hill :Grand Ole Oprey  - one of club in there) tons of clubs  attended buy 100%

foreigners ...so...well..like Amesterdam..maybe...

First time I went to Itaewon, I was in there with a Korean friend, and just

outside the subway I felt a

strange atmosphere...not good impression! I didn't feel safe. Acutally I would p

refer hangin' out in

Hongdae than in here,U will see lots lots of foreigners: Muslims, Indians,

American, Chinese, Japanese all put together xD 

 

 

 

When I was in there we took the chance to eat lunch at a French restaurant,

called "Le Saint Ex" in Yongsan.

Not bad cusine though, and if you want to see their website just go to :

Byeeeee see ya to the next post! ^^

카페 애완 - Cat cafe

In Seoul there isn't just the normal and common cafes, but even Cats and Dogs cafes^^)) I

love animal so much, especially dogs >3<
 

Since in Korea apartments are too small for "hosting" pets, not everyone can have them,

these cafes are the best solutions. In there people study, chat, or play laptops while

cuddling their fave pet^^ Isn't it cool?

Walking through Seoul's streets u can see lots of these cafes, in different areas,

and not only with cats, but also with fishes, etx..

 

 

I went to both dogs & cats cafes, with friends, in Gangnam Station. I was

 

worried that dogs could  barking or be too much lively  ><  but! It's was so good, and cute

 

puppies were so cuddling @.@

Let's begin explaining about the cat cafe " ATTIC CAFE", I went there with my 언니

 

( Korean friend)  ^=^))

 

since she also was curious about that cafe, so we decided to go there for playing with cats 

 

(even though a cat scratched me TT TT)

 

 

 

Before going inside the cafe you'll need to take off your shoes, and wear a pair of slippers...this kind

 

 

 

 

Next step is order drinks

 

 

Then..you can cuddle ur puppies ^=^

 

 

TT TT This cat bitten me XS

Here is the DO and DON'Ts of the cafe

롯데월드 테마파크!^^ Lotte Themepark^^

"Come where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things and ur heart will fly on wings forever, in Never Land" - Peter Pan

I'm not talking about  Never-Land, but about the biggest indoor themepark in

Seoul, which is Lotte World - 롯데월드 테마파크.



Doesn't it look like Disneyland??



and near u can find even huge Dpt. Store, Hotels ext...

I've been there twice, and I will go there again in some days kkkkk

Usually I'm bit skeptik about indoor theme park, bcos they are smaller and there are not

enough attractions, but!! This is different..yes it's a bit small, but full full of attractions ^^

everytime I go there is something new,  such as: AQUARIUM, ADVENTURE PARK, ICE

RINK ( just paying around 10,000won - 10$ u can skate as much as u want)

When we went there, we paid for doing all kind of games...but then, time wasn't our friend

so we had to come back before trying everything ç__ç

Here some of games we tried ^^



 

 

Gyro



 

 

And ..it couldn't miss the Carousel..I like it so much^==^

Almost at the end of the day there were some parades through the park,

different each time.

 

Here is the Eye Trick Museum that can be found in a storey of the building, basically are

paintings that focuses on the optical illusion.

 

 

 

 

And...the ice-rink^^ I went there on summer but not on December when I went

there^^

In case someone wanna go there..use Subway LINE 2! and..Have Fun!^0^

I wait for ur comment , see ya! ^^
