Korean Tips For The Day.

[skinsk]

Oh-- sorry if that was confusing, the "실내" isn't used for real rock! Just the "암장" (or "암벽등반" for that matter!). . . of course, these days among climbers it's as likely to be a 스포즈 클라이밍센터

Here is a list of useful words etc for restaurant dining and so on. Some great stuff on the main home-page from this site too:

You can make this last one into a question too (like "Are you happy/ tired/ OK ? etc), just by starting with "you" (dang-shin) then the X words.

안이요, 피곤안해요.
No I'm not tired. = Ah-ni-yo, pee-gon-ahn-hae-yo.

Actually Koreans usually don't use the words for "me/ you" (na-neun/ dang-shin) etc, they just assume you know who they mean, or use names.

배고파요?Are you hungry? = (dang-shin) bae-gor-pa-yo?

미국사람예요?
Are you American? =(dang-shin/ Scott) Mee-guk sa-ram ye-yo?

배고파, 안해요.No, I'm not hungry = ah-nee-ye-yo. Bae-gor-pa, ahn-hae-yo.

네, 미국사람예요.
Yeah I'm an American. = Ne, mee-guk sa-ram ye-yo.
