I think the most beautiful thing I’ve learned in Korean so far is  밥 먹었어? meaning “Did you eat?” as a way to show concern for a friend or loved one. It’s so relatable to me because that is 100% how my family has always been. Our lives have always centered on the kitchen and the community we’ve built there. Most of the memories I have of my grandmother are of helping her cook for my grandfather and parents so they’d have a hot meal when they got off of work, and her teaching me how to bake muffins, and of all of us crowded around the tiny table for dinner. When my grandmother got too sick to take care of herself, our neighbor grew to be like an older sister as she brought us tamales and chile verde on the weekends. Even now, living in a completely different city 50 miles away, the first thing my grandpa asks me when I answer the phone is “Have you eaten yet?” and then “Have you looked at the moon tonight?” He’s not a very openly emotional man, but it’s his way of saying “I love you. How can I take care of you? Are you well?”

love your blog 💕 and that last picture you posted from the comic is soooooo pretty. i have a question hope you don't mind are you studying korean by yourself?
Thank you!
I agree, Muryu really draws beautiful webtoons.
Yeah, I take studying by myself to a whole new level, I haven't left my bedroom for 3 (4? 5?) years and only two people and an occasional nurse are allowed to enter. I'm thinking of getting a (Korean) ball and putting a bloody hand print on it 😂
I tried HelloTalk for language exchange and I think it's great but I'm exhausted after a minute and feel guilty leaving so quickly so it just makes it too stressful.

korean sentence of the day #17 - 비가 오니까, 집에 가세요.
Note: when you see an ending like the “so” ending ~(으)니까 (there are weird parentheses in it), the thing in the parentheses (으) is dropped if the thing preceding it ends in a vowel.
bonus sentences from my textbook:
- 날씨가 더우니까, 주스를 마십시다 = it’s hot so lets have some juice - 시간이 없으니까, 택시를 탈까요? = since we don’t have time, shall we take a taxi? / we don’t have time, so shall we take a taxi? - 그 영화가 재미있으니까, 보세요. = the movie was fun so (you should) watch it. (note that this sentence is in the past tense so it goes verb stem 재미 + past tense 있 + ‘so’ ending ~(으)니까 )
