1. cause and result

요즘 눈이 많이 오더니 아무도 언니가 엄마한테 선물로 새 외투를 받았어. 언니가 운동을 열심히 하더니 식욕이 왕성해졌어. 민주가 아까 약을 먹더니 지금은 좀 괜찮아졌네요. 걔가 계속 노름을 하더니 결국 가산을 탕진하고 말았어.

Different words meaning 'to use'.

이용하다 - to utilise something for the beneficial facility or function it offers (can also refer to taking advantage/exploiting in a negative way)

쓰레기통을 이용하세요 = please use the trash can

이용자 = a user/visitor of a facility or space

인터넷 이용자 = a user of the internet

도서관 이용자 = a library goer

사용하다 - to use, operate or employ a tool of some kind

컴퓨터를 사용해도 되나요? = May I use the computer?

사용설명서 = instruction manual (lit. usage + explanation + document)

사용자 = consumer/utiliser of something

스페인어 사용자 - user(speaker) of Spanish

유용하다 - to possess uses/functions, able to be utilised positively

병을 여는 데 아주 유용해요 = it's useful/great for opening bottles

이용한 표현을 배우야 해 = you must learn useful/useable phrases

쓰다 - to use or employ something or wear (in terms of some accessories) (also means 'to write' and 'to be bitter'.)

돈을 썼어 = I spent my money

안경을 쓰는 사람 = a person who wears glasses

이것은 어디에 쓰는 겁니까? = where/what is this used for?

연필을 쓰세요 - please use a pencil (whereas 연필로 쓰세요 would be please write in pencil

tldr: 쓰다 is more simple and common in speech but is essentially the same as 사용하다. 이용하다 has a different nuance of referring to making use of a facility offered by an object or space (e.g. using the bathroom, the internet, public transport) rather than 쓰다/사용하다 being the personal, often physical, manipulation of a thing (e.g. using toilet paper, using photoshop, using a pencil). 유용하다 is not about the actual use of something, more a remark on something's ability to be used/useful. The recurring ~용 character of these words comes from the Chinese/Hanja 用 which refers to use, function, utilisation, consumption.

#한국어 #korean vocabulary

[lang0331]

If you’re learning Korean, you might have encountered the word “어차피” (eo-cha-pi) at some point. It’s a useful word that can be translated to “anyway,” “in any case,” or “after all.” When you use “어차피,” you’re often indicating that something is inevitable or necessary, regardless of other circumstances. To use “어차피”, you simply need to add it to the sentence. E.g. 어차피 늦었으니까 천천히 와. (It’s late anyway, so take your time.) 어차피 다른 선택지가 없어. (There’s no other option anyway.) 그 사람은 어차피 나를 싫어하는 거야. (That person hates me, after all.) “어차피” is often used with grammar like ~(으)니까 or -(으)ㄴ/는데 to add more context. E.g. 어차피 해야 할일이니까 빨리 하고 끝내는게 좋지않겠어요? (Because it’s something you have to do anyway, isn’t it better to hurry up and finish it?) 어차피 시간이 없는데 일찍 가는 게 좋을 거야. (Anyway, since we don’t have much time, it’s better to leave early.) 어차피 지나간 일이니까 다시 말하지 말아요. (Since it’s a thing of the past anyway, let’s not talk about it again.) 어차피 밖에 비가 내리고 있는데 조금더 이야기를 나누자 (It’s raining outside anyway, so let’s talk a little bit more.)

bon matin! c’est tôt pour moi, hmm? today I’ll be sharing some online resources for learning french ranging from vocab lists to full on courses! i hope you find these useful - the internet really is precious when learning languages! <3

⁎⁺˳✧༚ frenchtoday.com

this website threatens to put me out of business and I couldn’t be more delighted! vocab lists galore, free lessons, tips to work on your pronunciation, articles on french culture and even stories and poetry. i haven’t looked at everything available on there, but from what I’ve seen, it’s pretty useful!

⁎⁺˳✧༚ frenchpod101.com

this is a free course you can take, with options for absolute beginners and those already a little familiar with the language. it looks to be good for conversational french and is an easy, no nonsense starting point for beginners, who i know from experience are often easily overwhelmed.

⁎⁺˳✧༚ coffee break french

this is one I’m not quite as familiar with but has come to me highly recommended. it’s a podcast that covers the basics as well as providing dialogues and example role plays. give it a try and let me know how you find it!

⁎⁺˳✧༚ innerfrench (chaîne de YouTube)

this is a really interesting channel! you get to learn french through a variety of different topical discussions and he speaks slowly enough for you to get most of what he’s saying even if you’re a relative beginner, which can make you feel super smart :)

bien, c’est tout! i hope these recs are alright, and I hope we meet again soon~ a bientôt!

About the rose posts tags - could you write out how 520 sounds like "I love you"? Like the pinyin & pronunciation between the two? thank you!!

It is a close homophone but not exact.

520 = wǔ èr líng

I love you = wǒ ài nǐ (我爱你）

N and L sounds are interchangeable in some Chinese accents/dialects, thus why 0 = 你.

521 (wǔ èr yī) also sometimes is used to mean the same thing. It comes from leetspeak which was popular in the 2000s, I believe. There are other phrases that come from numbers that were used when texting first arose. Grabbed these from zhihu:

17 (yao1 qi1) = 友情 (you3 qing2)

↳ "friendship"

1314 (yi1 san3 yi1 si4) = 一生一世 (yi1 sheng1 yi1 shi4)

↳ "A whole lifetime"

0451 (ling3 si4 wu3 yi1) = 你是唯一 (ni3 shi4 wei3 yi1)

↳ "you're the only one"

04551 (ling2 si4 wu3 wu3 yi1) = 你是我唯一 (ni3 shi4 wo3 wei3 yi1)

↳ "you're my only one"

1930 (yi1 jiu3 san1 ling2) = 依旧想你 (yi1 jiu4 xiang3 ni3)

↳ "still thinking about/missing you"

1920 (yi1 er4 san1 ling2) = 依旧爱你 (yi1 jiu4 ai4 ni3)

↳ "still love you"

2030999 (er4 ling2 san1 ling2 jiu3 jiu3 jiu3) = 爱你想你久久久 (ai4 ni3 xiang3 ni3 jiu3 jiu3 jiu3)

↳ “love you miss you always and forever"

0564335 (ling2 wu3 liu4 si4 san1 san1 wu3) = 你无聊时想想我 (ni3 wu2 liao2 shi2 xiang3 xiang3 wo3)

↳ "When you're bored, think of me"

176 (yi1 qi1 liu4) = 一起走 (yi1 qi3 zou3)

↳ "[let's] go together"

1456 (yi1 si4 wu3 liu4) = 你是我的 (ni3 shi4 wo3 de)

↳ "You're mine"

14567 (yi1 si4 wu3 liu4 qi1) = 你是我老妻 (ni3 shi4 wo3 lao3 qi1)

↳ "You're my old/dear wife"

02825 (ling2 er2 ba1 er4 wu3) = 你爱不爱我 (ni2 ai4 bu4 ai4 wo3)

↳ "Do you love me?"

2013614 (er2 ling2 yi1 san1 liu4 yi1 si4) = 爱你一生又一世 (ai4 ni3 yi1 sheng1 you4 yi1 shi4)

↳ "Love you for life plus a lifetime"

2627 (er4 liu4 er4 qi1) = 爱来爱去 (ai4 lai3 ai4 qu4)

↳ "Love comes and goes"

12746 (yi1 er4 qi1 si4 liu4) = 你恶心死了 (ni3 e3 xin1 si3 le)

↳ "You're nauseating/embarrassing/disgusting as hell"

13456 (yi1 san1 si4 wu3 liu4) = 你相思无用 (ni3 xiang1 si1 wu2 yong4)

↳ "Your pining is useless"

1437 (yi1 si4 san1 qi1) = 你是神经 (ni3 shi4 shen2 jing1)

↳ "You're insane/unhinged"

14517 (yi1 si4 yao1 qi1) = 你是我氧气 (ni3 shi4 wo3 yang3 qi4)

↳ "You are my oxygen"

14535 (yi1 si4 wu3 san1 wu3) = 你是否想我 (ni3 shi4 fou3 xiang3 wo3)

↳ "Do you miss me?"/"Are you thinking about me or not?"

As a side note, there is some number based slang that is not from leetspeak as well. For example, 250 (èr bǎi wǔ) is slang for "idiot" but the origins of this is actually a folktale, so it is from olden times. 233 is often used to express laughter but this is because it was the image id of a laughing emoji from a popular sticker pack back in the day.

75 essential single-character verbs (单字动词)

When I started consuming more native Chinese content, I quickly discovered an area in which my knowledge was lacking: single-character verbs. In my experience, it’s very easy to focus on learning words consisting of two or more characters and overlook single-character words.

Driven by curiosity, I went through my Anki deck (and also wracked my brain) to generate a list of characters/words that I have learned over the past couple years (roughly). Then I selected 75 verbs that are fairly common and important to know. They skew towards intermediate and advanced vocabulary.

Definitions are from MDBG. For characters with additional meanings that I am not yet familiar with, I have bolded the meanings I want to share.
