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

유용한 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.

[dreamer-hangugeo]

𝐊𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 가다 Compound verbs are formed by combining two or more verbs to express a specific action or state. One of the most common verbs used to form compound verbs is "가다," which means "to go." Here are some Korean vocabulary words made up with the verb "가다": 나가다: go out, leave 들어가다: go into, enter 돌아가다: go back, return 올라가다: go up, rise, ascend 내려가다: go down, step down, descend 기어가다: crawl (go on all fours) 걸어가다: walk, tread, stride 날려가다: fly away, be blown away 건너가다: go across, cross 물러가다: go away, disappear 다녀가다: come by, drop by 뛰어가다: go running, dash 가져가다: bring, take (away) It's important to note that many of these compound verbs can also be made with the verb "오다" (to come). For example, "나가다" (to go out) can also be "나오다" (to come out), and "돌아가다" (to go back) can be "돌아오다" (to come back) … 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬: "가다" and "오다" are both verbs in Korean and are often used in compound verbs. However, they have different meanings. "가다" means "to go" and refers to a movement from one location to another. It indicates a departure from a place or situation. "오다" means "to come" and refers to a movement towards a location. It indicates an arrival at a place or situation. So, "가다" is used to describe a movement away from the speaker, while "오다" is used to describe a movement towards the speaker. For example, "저는 집에 가고 싶어요." (I want to go home) and "친구가 집에 오고 싶어요." (A friend wants to come home).

v. 실감하다 (實感하다)

to feel, to sense, to realize [smth as actually happening]

EXAMPLE SENTENCE

며칠째 그에게 연락이 없는 것을 확인한 후에야 나는 이별을 실감했다. Only after confirming that for the last few days there's no contact incoming from them, the reality of breakup started sinking in for me.

NOTES

the difference between 실감하다 (실감을 하다) and 실감나다 (실감이 나다) is that the former is a transitive verb and it's used with the object marker -을/를, while the latter is intransitive and is used either with subject marker -이/가 or topic marker -은/는. it's the basic transitive/intransitive, or active/passive sentence structure differences.

to go into more detail, in the example sentence we have "이별을 실감했다" , which very literally and simply would translate as "I sensed a breakup" – this type of form highlights the speaker as someone actively sensing or feeling the breakup. if we wanted to say the same sentence with 실감나다, it would look something like: "이별은 실감이 났다". this type of format takes the spotlight from the speaker, immediately erasing them as someone relevant (i.e. there's no need for an active feeler) implying that the breakup happens by itself and we could translate the sentence as "a breakup has become a reality". this highlights the the breakup itself and the fact that it's becoming a reality.

RELATED WORDS

n. 실감 = lifelike feeling, real feeling

phr. 실감이 나다 (실감나다) = to be realistic, convincing, [for smth] to sink in

phr. 실감이 안 나다/나지 않다 = to not be realistic, convincing (commonly used when one wants to say something "doesn't feel real")

And What If I Told You. There's No 'W' Sound In 'Wooyoung'

#shrimp thoughts #there just isn't! no 'w'! #it's not 'woo' like the romantic verb! #ever since i took that one month long korean course in 2018 looking at what kpop does to korean romanization has been so painful #like. hobi has ㅓ in his family name and it gets romanized as u but another ㅓ in his given name is eo. ???????? #i also don't like ㅜ = oo because like... it makes things longer? please embrace ㅜ as u. YKNOW. THE WAY YOU DO WITH URI. #i have Never seen 우리 romanized as '(w)ooli' so WHAT'S UP WITH THAT. #and don't get me started on ㅗ. when they romanized jin/soul's name they kinda had the right idea in that it's a more rounded sorta 'o' #compared to ㅓ (during korean classes we called them low o and side o lol) BUT THEN. wy has the 'ou' in his name BUT IT'S ㅓ. #this is all to say your little guy's named uyeong. sorry #i feel like basing the romanization of korean on english is sorta stupid because they're different languages but ALSO because phonetically #english is in NO way consistent. so ㅓis 'u“ (jung) but also it's ”ou“ (wooyoung) and “eo” (hoseok). girl whatcha doing #when it's like. ʌ in ipa. sun + son + young. but it's ONE (1) SOUND. HELL ON EARTH. #post is sponsored by a youtuber saying wy's name with an audible W sound and me being like This Is An Easily Fixable Issue! but also #i do Not believe i can physically point that out to anyone without sounding like a total asshole (see: this post) so #(of course it's all nice and proper in like actual korean romanization systems like the revised one BUT kpop notably does NOT use the #revised romanization... sunmi actually had to explain that her name's not pronounced soon-me. which could have been avoided #if they just spelled it seonmi lol

i have split my self-taught korean lessons into a Morning Block and an Evening Block. classes start monday evening and end friday morning. in the evenings, i do the textbook portion of an entire chapter of this book. takes like 30 mins and then i have to spend forever manually making quizlet flashcards bc this book has no online resources beyond the listenings. then i practice the flashcards a little, sleep, and wake up. in the morning, i practice the flashcards again and then i do the workbook portion of an entire chapter of the book. takes like 30-40 mins. then i usually take a nap. in this way, i am sleeping between almost every Session of my class to ingrain the information on my brain, and am completing 4 chapters per week, which is great because i already know the content of like every single one of these chapters atm and just need to get through them to get to the stuff i dont know. i would say the most valuable asset this book is providing me is the structured vocabulary lists since amassing vocabulary is the hardest part of learning a language, for me. i also think the workbook is deeply useful. i kind of wish there were more workbook pages per chapter. because putting the language to use is the best form of practice. and as such, the thing my self-taught korean lessons is lacking the most is conversation in korean with other humans.

#if i tried to converse with jiwon in korean he would talk too fast he always does idk why he does that. #i understand that i need to get used to how people really talk but i'm literally just starting. chill. slow down. #and i dont want to make him go Teacher Mode bc he's not my teacher and also? i do not vibe with his teaching style #every time he tries to teach me something or answer one of my questions it goes crazy out of hand and i cry idk why #and also yesterday i saw him teaching jenni's class a little and also did not like how he was teaching her #obviously if she likes it that is her business but i would die if that was my class #so anyway. i am thinking of picking up lessons that are purely conversational. like i send the vocabulary lists for the week to #my tutor and then we have slower and easier conversations about the trivial topics in the textbook so i can start to practice #like i guess my thing is if i asked jiwon to have a conversation with me that used month/day negatives locations easy adjectives and verbs #he would 1) use a bunch of conjugations i dont know and then spend 20 mins explaining them to me #and 2) use the tone of voice he uses when he speaks easy korean to me that feels very very pandering and is usually fine #but makes me feel really dumb when he uses it while im trying to study #so i just want to avoid speaking to him in korean until i am fluent basically because i always feel really dumb when i try #i know this is impossible but its still what i want. #t

For any of my fellow English speaking QSMP watchers looking to learn or brush up on their Spanish- I'm no expert, but I've done my time in middle and high school Spanish class, and I have a few website recs:

Word Reference: Spanish-English dictionary. Gives you information about multiple meanings of the word, as well as compound words and idioms. Also has a bunch of other languages (French, Italian, Catalan, German, Dutch, Swedish, Icelandic, Russian, Portuguese, Polish, Romanian, Czech, Greek, Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic)

SpanishDict: Another Spanish-English dictionary. I mainly use it for looking up verb conjugations, since IMO its charts are much easier to read than Word Reference's. It also had some other features that you have to make an account to use.

Conjuguemos: Conjugation practice games (with a frog mascot!). It tries to get you to make an account, but you don't have to- just click "use without account". You can sort by tense, mood, and regularity, and there's both straightforward practice and flashcards and more gimmicky games. Also has vocab and grammar practice, and a few other languages (French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Korean, and Latin)

"Jimin and Jungkook's casualness isn't anything out of the ordinary but is still surprising"

'지민 (Jimin) Choreography Practice Sketch' write-up ✍️

Among Jimin's gruesome practice sessions and strict work ethics leading up to Face promotions, we were given a peak into a few moments out of Jungkook's visit on day 2.

What struck me (and even k-armys) is that they didn't even bother to pretend to be formal in front of the staff and camera + crew, which just goes to show how long gone are their age barriers in communication and behavior. Once again I know we are all well aware of this development between them, however it is still a bit surprising seeing that happen in front of strangers- especially at their workplace and during work, which is a formal setting. The significance of this may appear minimal to you but in Korean culture, the way you talk to someone but also what you discuss and how you phrase it is highly influenced by the age hierarchy. Allowing someone speak to you informally (even in the public or formal settings) means they now have the same rank as you and their word is thus referred to/significant on the same level as yours and they can express things way more directly. In a highly hierarchical culture with a strong respect for authority (or anyone above) this presents a disruption in an embedded way of thought and behavior that is in the minds of all Koreans from the very early age. 반말 (banmal) of course does happen among many people even those who are not 친구 (friends- meaning people born in the same year) but it is not something that is just expected automatically and in any social setting. (I am excluding family ties here)

Thus, what the international audience may see and perceive only reading the translated subs:

"Ah cool, Jungkook came and supported Jimin"

What the Korean audience (or anyone with just a little knowledge of the language and culture) sees and perceives:

"Oh wow they are speaking informally so naturally to each other, they seem so close"

JK: "I'll cheer for/ support (you)"

(*said in a form that implies promise to someone for the future, informal tone)

JM: "Come again"

(*said as an informal command or request)

Other fav moments:

JK: "Noo, do it once (for me)!"

(*주다 on its own means to give, gift someone something; in combination with other verbs like 하다 (to do) it implies doing something for someone; the most accurate but weird way in English to translate would be: "give a doing" Here Jungkook commands/requests Jimin to do the dance for him in an informal tone which sounds veeery casual, especially considering the dancers nearby 🫣)

JK: "It's awesome/ You're awesome"

(*Again informal tone, the pronouns are not stated therefore both you/it could be inserted)

JK: "Will be cheering (for you), myself"

(Informal tone, said in a form that implies promise to someone for the future + Jungkook added 내가 at the end of the sentence to emphasize he personally will be cheering/supporting Jimin on. Reminder- Korean sentences don't need pronouns, therefore you can tell he used it for added emphasis)

All in all, Jungkook didn't use the formal level a single time besides when he was leaving and told Jimin + everyone else in the room to "take care" (수고하세요).

Finally, to anyone trying to use Jungkook's informal "nope" to Jimin's direct requests to get his ass over there more frequently probably didn't catch just how """seriously""" both of them were taking that convo, as you can see from Jungkook's smirk hidden under the mask ㅋㅋ

Also just how long were they teasing and saying bye to each other if there is a cut and suddenly Jungkook is standing on the other side, still saying bye and holding hands with Jimin? 😆

This short edit of Jungkook's appearance tells a lot about their dynamic and reassures everyone that can perceive the tone of their closeness. I'm glad we could see a little bit of it in this video!
