It gives you an edge when maneuvering through the ins and outs of everyday life in Korean. Unlike English, Korean has several speech levels that are for- mally codified. Age, social standing or the degree of intimacy you have with the person being addressed determines the level of politeness you should adopt. The different speech levels are marked by the verb endings placed at the end of sentences. Needless to say, you are required to use the polite form with strangers, your seniors and to those of a higher social status. However as your relationship with them develops, a more relaxed and casual form of the language may be adopted. Making Out in Korean presents the intimate and colloquial speech level of Korean that is often used among very close friends including couples. This book contains “‘street-Korean” in addition to derogatory and vulgar expressions to enrich your spoken Korean! Apart from the “Curses and Insults” section, any words re- quiring caution are marked and coupled with explanations to avoid misuse. Although most of this phrase book adopts an intimate and colloquial style of speech, selected expressions ee Introduction 5 are presented in the polite (informal) form, when necessary, and are marked in brackets. The polite (informal) form of Korean is achieved by attaching -yo at the end of intimate speech forms, which usually end in -a or -eo. Care should be taken not to jump the gun before a relation- ship has matured. Using an informal or vulgar speech level in the wrong social context would be considered extremely in- sulting to a Korean person. To be on the safe side, refrain from adopting such levels of speech until the other party ini- tiates it or both parties have reached a mutual agreement to do so. Basic Grammar The Korean language follows the word order of Subject- Object-Verb as opposed to the word order (Subject-Verb- Object) of English. Verbs are placed at the end of sentences, a position that reflects its importance in Korean grammar. I am going to school. Stil 7}. Literally means “School go.” hak-kkyo ga. (Statement) hahk-kkyo gah. Another salient feature of spoken Korean is that any element of the sentence may be omitted except the verb as long as you can clearly gather from the context what is being talked about. As a result, a single verb can be a complete sentence in Korean as indicated by the third example below. Go to school! Stal J}, Literally means “School go.” hak-kkyo ga! (Command) hahk-kkyo gah!6 Making Out in Korean Let's go to school. hak-kkyo ga. (Suggestion) Stil J}, hahk-kkyo gah. Literally means “School go.” Are you going? ga? (Question) 7k? gah? Literally means “Go?” Going to school! (You're joking!) Stil 7}! hak-kkyo ga. (Exclamation) hahk-kkyo gah. In Korean, the same sentence structure can be used for both sentences and statements. The following examples illustrate that by merely substituting the question word “where” with “school” changes a question into a declarative statement: Where are you going? erdi ga? (Question) O{C| Ft? erdee gah? Literally means “Where go?” lam going to school. hak-kkyo ga. (Statement) Stil 7}. hahk-kkyo gah. Literally means “School go.” Expressions in the intimate form of speech can be converted into the polite (informal) form by simply adding -yo at the end, which usually end in -a or -eo: Stal 7}. hak-kkyo ga. (Intimate level of speech) hahk-kkyo gah. Literally means “School go.” Introduction 7 sti 72. hak-kkyo gayo. (Informal polite level of speech) hahk-kkyo gahyo. Literally means “School go.” Reading Romanized Korean Two systems are used to show the pronunciation of the Korean phrases in the ordinary English alphabet. The upper line on the right of the page follows the official Revised Romanization of Korean prepared and authorized by the Korean government in 2000. The letters used in this transcription have to be pronounced in a certain way only: they should not be treated like the letters in English which have different sounds in different words, for example the a in ‘apple; ‘father, ‘syllable’ and ‘date. Because it can at first be quite difficult for English speakers to read romanized Korean correctly, an approximate phonetic equivalent, designed to reflect the closest English equivalent to each Korean sound, is given in a second line underneath the official transcription of each phrase. Where necessary, a hyphen (-) is used to mark a syllable boundary so that any confusion in pronunciation is avoided. Each phrase is also written in Korean script immediately under the English equivalent on the left of the page, so that if you have difficulty in making yourself understood by following the romanized versions you can show the book to the person you're talking to and they will be able to read what you mean.8 Making Out in Korean Consonants (1) Simple consonants 1 gk As =p Lon © ng sh Cdt Bri Om Hbp Rj Ach Ak Et (2) Double consonants Tl kk cc tt HH pp AA SS EX jj Most of the consonants are pronounced as in English except the tensed (double) consonants.

This means that even when a syllable begins with a vowel sound (the syllable contains no spoken consonants) you have to start the syllable with the zero consonant O, which has no sound. a (ah) O} u (00) = ae (a) OH e0 (er) OF eu (oh) 2 e (e) Ol 0 (aw) 2 i (ee) O| oe (we) 2| What's Up? 1 POLITE GREETINGS How are you?
