One-Page Masterlist

안녕하세요! Hey everyone! I recently got an ask about my old masterlist, which is the same as my broken-down masterlist except it has all of my lessons on one page, rather than on multiple separate posts. Some may find this expanded version easier to navigate, so I’ll keep this up for y’all! My broken-up masterlist, of course, will still be available for those who find that more helpful :)

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.

HD'S K-POP BOOKCLUB: Read The Album March 2024: Book 1 & Song 1 Korean Vocabulary Study Lists! (K-pop artists in focus: Aespa)

I had so much fun reading the book for this song in the album! Plus I absolutely love this song! Aespa what a bop you have created!

For the vocabulary for the song I used dictionary form verbs so that they would be easier to study and use with other grammar forms

For the book vocabulary I thought of the themes expressed in the book and translated them into korean using an online Korean dictionary.

I hope this helps with your Korean studies and hopefully you enjoy reading DallerGut Dream Department Store!

(If you would like to see what album I read this for and what other books I read for this album, please feel free to check out my previous post!)

Happy Studying Everyone! X

많이 vs 많아요

The first obvious difference would be that 많이 is an adverb and 많다 is an adjective.

많다 (adjective)

Definition: plentiful; many; a lot of

A number, amount, etc., exceeding a certain standard.

Use this when you simply want to describe that there is a large amount or number of something.

Examples:

어린이들은 친구가 많아요. = Kids have lots of friends.

선물이 정말 많아요! = That’s a lot of presents/gifts.

일이 정말 너무 많아요. = It’s too much work.

많이 (adverb )

Definition: much; in large numbers; in large amounts

In a state in which a number, amount, degree, etc., are larger than a certain standard.

This can be used in combination with another verb to describe the amount of something more specifically in relation to the verb. Adverbs usually are placed right before the verb.

Examples:

밥을 많이 먹어요. = I eat a lot (of food).

돈이 많이 있어요. = I have a lot of money.

운동을 많이 했어요. = I exercised a lot

There’s another form of 많다 : 많은

It is used before nouns to describe them. It has basically the same meaning as 많이 and the two can be used interchangeably in almost all cases.

Examples:

많은 사람 = a lot of people

많은 숙제 = a lot of homework

많은 영화 = a lot of movies

많은 책을 읽었어요. I read a lot of books. (Many books, I read)

책을 많이 읽었어요. I read a lot of books.

많이 있어요 vs 많아요.

There’s not much difference between these two. They can be used interchangeably.

Examples:

학생들이 많이 있어요. = There are a lot of students

학생들이 많아요. = There are a lot of students

The only difference is that 많이 can be used with a different verb at the end, but 많다 is a verb itself to it must always be at the end of the sentence.

More Examples Of 많다, 많이, & 많은 :

돈이 많아요! = There’s a lot of money!

돈이 많이 있어요. = I have a lot of money! / there is a lot of money!

많은 돈이 있어요 = I have a lot of money! / there is a lot of money!

돈이 많이 벌었어요! = I earned a lot of money!

많은 친구가 있어요 = I have a lot of friends

남동생은 밥이 너무 많이 먹어요 = My little brother eats too much

많은 열쇠를 갖고 있는데 올바른 열쇠를 찾을 수 없어 = I have a lot of keys, but I can't find the right keys

korean slang [part 1]

문찐 - culture loser, someone who is not interested in or does not know much about pop culture, new trends.

short for 문화찐따 = 문화(culture) + 찐따 (loser).

사진빨 - being very photogenic.

from 사진발, from 사진 (寫眞, photo) + 발 (lines, streaks).

엔조이 - enjoyment, casual romantic relationship.

네덕 - selfish, immature, and conceited fan or poster.

short for 네이버 ("Naver", main South Korean search engine and platform) + 덕후 (otaku, fan), originally because such people were most common on Naver's general blogs, rather than on more specialized platforms.

수포자 - someone who has given up on studying math (in school).

contraction of 수학 포기자.

솔크 - Christmas without a romantic partner.

of 솔로 solo + Christmas. Christmas is considered a romantic holiday in South Korea.

읽씹 - leaving a text or message on read, and not reply.

안읽씹 - intentionally leaving a text or message on unread.

ㄴㅇㅎ - being incomprehensible.

마자마자 - truetrue, yesyes.

호구 - an overly naive and submissive person; pushover.

sino-korean word from 虎口, from 虎 (“tiger”) + 口 (“mouth”). The "pushover" sense derives from the game of Go sense, implying someone who would be submissive enough to be willing to place their stone in such a position.

현자타임/현타 - (vulgar) post-nut clarity or (non-vulgar) a moment when one realizes that what one is doing is actually pointless, reality check.

현자(賢者) +‎ 타임, calque of Japanese 賢者タイム (“post-nut clarity”).

a non-vulgar reanalysis of the above as an abbreviation of 현실(現實) 자각(自覺) 타임 (“reality perception moment”). the new interpretation retains a metaphoric extension of the original meaning, but in a non-sexual way. many Koreans are not aware of the original etymology, and the word has appeared in TV programs for general audiences.

스포당하다 - to accidentally read spoilers (of a film, video game).

눈팅 - only read articles or posts without leaving any comment; lurking.

[honeyhangukeo]

combination terms

I don't know what else to call these, but they refer to two opposing things that are often referred to together in one phrase to illustrate a breadth of span of the concept.

north and south- 남북 (often refers the two Koreas.)

east and west - 동서

pros and cons - 장점과 단점 can be seen shortened to 장단점. (점 means point)

strengths and weaknesses - 강점과 약점 (similar to above) (강 means strong and 약 means weak)

long and short term - 장기와 단기 can be seen shortened to 장단기 (기 refers to a time period)

up and down - 위아래(로)

side to side - 좌우(로) (좌 refers to 'left' and 우 is 'right' but from Hanja rather than 왼쪽/오른쪽 from native Korean)

here and there - 여기저기(에)

coming and going/back and forth between places - 왔다갔다하다

push and pull - 밀다 당기다 can be seen shortened to 밀당 (can refer to playing hard to get)
