Korean Self-Love Quotes/Proverbs & Life Lessons

남의 떡이 더 커보인다.

Literal Translation: The other person’s rice cake is bigger than yours

Meaning: don’t compare yourself or your life with someone else’s

Life Lesson:

Especially on social media, you only see the parts that other people choose to show - the highlights, but not the behind the scenes. You’re life is not better or worse than another persons. The grass always looks greener on the other side, but you never know what that person is going through behind the scenes. Don’t try to trade your life in for another person’s just because of how things appear on the outside.

Vocab from proverb:

남 - another person, stranger

의 - possessive particle (‘s)

떡 - rice cake

더 - more

크다 - big

아/어 보이다 - to look, appear, seem

엎질러진 물이다

Literal Translation: It is spilled water.

Meaning: There is no use in crying over spilled milk.

Life Lesson:

A lot of things in life aren’t worth crying over, especially if it’s something that happened in the past. The past is the past and we have to learn to let go of the past. If you dwell on your failures, your shortcomings, your embarrassing moments, or any other terrible things you may have experienced in the past - It will keep you from living in the present. You Can Not Change The Past - no matter how much you think about it, so there’s no use “crying” over it. Don’t let the past determine who you are today. Whenever you catch yourself worrying too much about a past occurrence, tell yourself, “It already happened and I can’t control that, but I can control what I do today”.

Vocab from proverb:

엎질러지다 - to spill

물 - water

똥이 무서워서 피하니? 더러워서 피하지.

Literal Translation: you don’t avoid poop, because it’s scary. You avoid poop because it’s dirty.

Meaning: you should avoid certain things and people in your life, not because you are scared, but because it will disrupt your peace and happiness.

Life Lesson:

If at all possible try to remove or minimize contact with toxic people in your life - even if that just means distancing yourself from them mentally. Also avoid overtly negative and toxic situations whenever you can, because it can improve your mental health and overall happiness. Holding on to grudges, anger, sadness, etc. can also be harmful to your mental health - It may be hard to hear but some things you have to let go of. For yourself and your peace of mind. Forgive yourself of any past mistakes or failures and allow yourself to move forward.

Vocab from proverb:

똥 - poop

무섭다 - be scared of

아/어/해서 - because

피하다 - to avoid

니? - informal question ending

더럽다 - to be dirty

지 - shortened form of 지요 / 죠

(when speaker confirms something they thought the listener already knew)

말을 냇가에 끌고 갈 수는 있어도 억지로 물을 먹일 수는 없다

Literal Translation: You can lead a horse and go to a stream, but you can’t make it drink water through its own will

Meaning: You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink

Life Lesson:

You can’t force someone to do something that they don’t want to do. You can’t change someone who isn’t willing to change. You can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved. You can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped. There are many ways to say it, but the overall message is the same.

On the opposite side of the coin, It’s a great idea to be open and willing to positive changes and to growth. In life you want to always be growing and not static - unless your perfect (which no one is). Sometimes we may feel static and like we are going no where no matter how hard we try to move. In those cases, either you need to make a change and do something a bit different or you are moving forward but it’s just so slowly that you don’t notice it - taking a step back and looking at your situation objectively can sometimes help.

Vocab from proverb:

말 - horse

냇가 - stream (of water)

끌다 - to lead

고 - and

가다 - to go

ㄹ 수 있다 - can do

아/어도 - even if

억지 - force

(으)로 - by (explain methods)

억지로 - by force

물 - water

먹이다 - to feed, make eat/drink

ㄹ 수(는) 없다 - can’t

(the 는 adds emphasis)

That's all for this post! Which proverb is your favorite?

Friend in Korean (Informal)-줘 (jwo)

Friend in Korean (Formal)-주십시오 (jusipsio)/주시기 바랍니다 (jusigi baramnida)

Note

Age is very important in Korea.So It sounds rude to call someone who is older than you “chingu”. You can only use Chingu” with people of a similar age or with close friends.

Example

If you want to say “great friend.” in Korean, you can say 절친 (jeolchin), shortened from 절친한 친구 (jeolchinhan chingu)

베프 (bepeu) is the Korean slang word for friend in Korean. It’s a cute version.

How to address your friend in Korean

When you know someonebut not friends yet, you can address them as 아는 사람 (aneun saram) means “a person I know”

It is similar to the english word  “an acquaintance”

Unlike english, In Korea you can refer someone as  friend iif you are close with  and you both are of same age (donggab/동갑).

how can you introduce  them?

When to add ‘-ah’ after someone’s name

If your friend is same age or younger than you , you can say their name in Korean add “ah/아” or “yah /야” to the end of the name.

If their name ends at consonant , add 아 at the end of their name 

If their name ends at vowel add “yah /야” at the end of their name

Example

 정수 (Jungsoo)becomes 정수야

 혁재(Hyukjae)becomes 혁재야

 동해(Donghae)becomes 동해야

이특(Leeteuk)becomes 이특아

은혁(Eunhyuk)becomes 은혁아

도윤(Do-yun)becomes 도윤아

However, if your friend is older than you, you need to address them different title like noons, huyng,unni and oppa in Korean

So the Korean words below can be used to address your older “friend” in if you’re speaking to your female or male friend like this

Someone younger than you- 동생 (dongsaeng)

If you are a male and A male who is older than you-형 (hyeong)

If you are a male and A female who is older than you- 누나 (nuna)

If you are a female and A male who is older than you- 오빠 (oppa)

If you are a female and A female who is older than you-언니 (eonni)

Example

 TAEHYUN oppa is here

태현이 오빠 왔어요.

Jiyeon-unni!,i love you

지연 언니! 너무 사랑해요.

Hyori-nuna i miss you

효리누나 보고 싶어요

JinSoul oppa, buy me this

진소울 오빠, 이거 사줘.

 Here’s a another  way you can address a person is to call them sunbae/선배 means  senior at school or the work place.

I have a question for Genshin side of tumblr, especially the multilinguals and translators because I am on board with Alhaitham and Kaveh them being platonic or romantic but it just hit me after seeing user & artist eannagram bring it up on Twitter

Alhaitham says he has a house and even threatens to kick out Kaveh out- yet in all the English translations they use the word “roommates”. Kaveh is literally an architect so even if the place is small, it makes no sense for them to share a room based off their dynamic. And even if it was a dorm or apartment, roommates is still the incorrect phrase because housemates, dorm mates, & flat mates would all be a more accurate translations

Are they genuinely gay coded and this is how the EN team is getting the CN censorship across without explicitly saying it or is it a mistranslation and the EN team accidentally implied they’re a couple?

#mun post #please someone who has access and can translate the Chinese Korean and Japanese to compare look into this because it hadn’t occurred to me #like I would still use the phrase roommate but it’s odd that Genshin- a Chinese game that must abide chinese law- isn’t being specific #to avoid censorship issues #Genshin impact #kaveh x alhaitham #kavehaitham #kaveh #alhaitham #the Genshin en translation team has made many mistranslation errors so I wouldn’t be surprised #but on the other I’m fully on board with both - mistranslation or not #I just want to know if I’m being queer baited or not because m a n #I don’t mind subtly because I get it - the cn gov scary
