SaiFightsMS Posted November 7, 2001 Share Posted November 7, 2001 Very interesting. You did however leave out one of the first phrases a GI in Korea learns - Yobo say- oh. Kim chi oh man don't ever get on a bus full of koreans who just had kime che for lunch. The collective bad breath will kill you. Bul go gi on the other hand is quiet nice. But, if you are ever in Itaewon don't worry about the Korean. Most Koreans there you are likely to encounter can express themselves in Engish - to a degree.

Jiggy9 Posted November 7, 2001 Share Posted November 7, 2001 My friend is Korean and he taught me a little something : Oniong - Hello Oniong Hazio - Hello (with respect) nal-ssi u-tte - How is the weather and for those who are a little more forthcoming to those korean waitresses : ye-ppe ne - Girl youre fine coffee ma-si-ru-gal-lle? - Want to go drink coffee? ne chim-de ju-gi-it-ssu - my bedroomz over there ne bun-ho-nen xxxx - My number is....xxxx (and this is the bad stuff - lol ) Babho - Stupid Kesaki - **** *** WARNING : I DONT SPEAK KOREAN, THIS IS JUST WHAT MY FRIEND TOLD ME! IT COULD RAELLY MEAN ANYTHING AT ALL! Shotokan Karate Black Belt ==Defend the path of Truth== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBN Doug Posted November 7, 2001 Share Posted November 7, 2001 Oooo, thanks for the warning. I'll keep my guard up if I give them a try. I know this was all in the TKD forum, but keep in mind, a lot of the Korean you're translating is dependant on the art you're practicing. I do see a lot of the same words, but a lot of the titles differ from that of the ones in Kuk Sool Won. For example: Kuk Sa Nim - Grand Master (10th) Kwan Jahn Nim - Master (5th~8th) Sa Buhm Nim - 4th degree Pu Sa Buhm Nim - 3rd degree Kyo Sa Nim - 2nd degree (me) Jo Kyo Nim - 1st degree You can look at some of the other differences at http://www.kuksoolwon.com. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaiFightsMS Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 I have enjoyed this thread. It brought back pleasant memories of my time in Korea. They do have different ways of making different speech sounds than we do. It can become amusing or expasperating. Occasionally someone trying to get back to post after an adventure in another part of the country would pronounce the name of the village the way we thought everyone did at the ticket counter in the bus station. Well, sometimes that didn't work too well. People would wind up in a villege with a similar sounding name in anothor part of the country. Much safer to head toward Osan and go to Pyong Taek from their and then to get on the K-6 bus in Pyong Taek. All kidding aside, Korea is rich with martial arts tradition and lore.
