- μμμ§?
λΆμμΉκ΅¬
OKAY so this phrase translated sounds REALLY weird because the word "λΆμ" literally means a male's reproductive organ BUT the meaning is completely unrelated to that! The term λΆμμΉκ΅¬ means someone that you've been best friends since you were young or a baby -- basically a friend that is considered family. Think of it like that super close friend from childhood that you introduce to people as your "cousin" Basically the same thing! So Jeong-won is asking Seok-hyeong -- I thought you guys were best friends, how could you not know?!
This is just a term I want to teach you because Korean people do use this term alot but if you translated it you wouldn't get the right translation! Hope that makes sense~!!!!! (Think of it as a slang and don't use it in formal settings!)
~λ©°
This sentence ending is SUPER common among people who speak Korean but isn't taught very often because it's less formal and more conversational.
Let's look at the sentence:
μ§μλΌλ¦¬λ μ μλ€λ©°
(You said your families knew each other too)
μ μλ€λ©° means "you said they know each other well"
You might be confused but the "you said" or "but you said" comes from just the λ©°
Adding the λ©° to the end of the sentence adds the "you said" or "but you said"
This is hard to explain so let's look at it with an example:
- λ°₯ λ¨Ήμμ΄ (I ate) --> λ°₯ λ¨Ήμλ€λ©° (But you said you ate)
- μ
리 νμ¬μ κ°μ΄ (Sherly went to the office) --> μ
리 νμ¬μ κ°λ€λ©°
Can you guess?! If you said "But you said Sherly went to the office" you're right!! In the context it can also be like "I thought you said Sherly went to the office"
The connotation is that the person you're saying this to is the person who originally told you that fact but you are reiterating it to them saying "I thought you said this*"
HOPE THAT HELPS!!!!
μμμ§?
ANOTHER lovely sentence ending. This one is a lot easier so bear with me!!!!
μ§ is just a way to confirm what someone is saying when you're asking.
μμμ΄? would mean "did you know" but adding the μ§ and making it μμμ§? changes the meaning to "you knew right?!"
It is basically saying ", right?" in English.
Let's look at it in an example:
- λ°₯ λ¨Ήμμ΄? -- did you eat? --> λ°₯ λ¨Ήμμ§? -- you ate, right?
I hope that makes sense!!!!!
