Favorite Korean words/expressions?

qlqlqlqlql
죽을래? 'ju-keul-lae?' lit: do you want to die? usually means something like 'stop that'/'want to get beat up' (empty threat)
배고파 'pae-go-pa' I'm hungry

That's pretty much all I need to know in any language XD.

Here are some expressions that came to my mind right away:

-Omo, Aigoo! Standard drama expressions that I use frequently nowadays. And I get strange looks from family members as well :P
-Eomma 엄마. Mom. I like the sound of this word. I like the way it feels when you pronounce it. Round and soft.
-Jinjja! 진짜! Really! I use this one frequently as well. Said often with good grimace and cursing tone.
-Shirho 싫어. I hate/I don’t want. Though it’s a quite harsh and rude way to express negation, I really like how it sounds and the tone it is usually uttered with.
-Kwaenchanayo. 괜찮아요. It’s okay/I’m okay etc. I like the way it sounds and how it can be used in many different situations.
-Chohahaeyo.좋아해요. I like (it/you). I still remember that I learned this expression after watching one particular scene in “You’re Beautiful”. :)

I also like all the verbs with the formal ending “hamnida” like in “kamsahamnida, saranghamnida” etc.
Aigoo, I think I could list here about all the Korean words I know because all the Korean words sound so nice to me atm. But I’ll stop here for now. :)


You took the words right out of my mouth :3
But I'll have to add that I think the sexiest thing ever is when Lee Min Ho says "Wanna die?" I don't know how to spell it, but I say it a lot because it's cute haha.

Nobody's posting here anymore. :( I kinda like this thread. We can learn so much here. Or at least imitate how they sound in Korean.

Some of the expressions I've picked up from dramas (though not necessarily my favorites) are:
Note: I'm typing these words as they sound not as they should be spelled so please feel free to post the correct spelling if you know them (I'd love to learn).

Bo, boragu/boraguyo - What, What did you say/What did you say (polite or with -yo, used to address an older person)

Wae - Why

Solma - meaning is close to - don't tell me; Could it be...?

Andwe - No, It can't be

Maldo andwe - Impossible; in some translations, it could be 'it doesn't make any sense'

Kapchagi - All of a sudden; expression of surprise

Wey-reh (lol I don't know how to spell it) - What's wrong (with you)

Chongmal - Really (I almost forgot to add that!)

That's all I could think of for now. I'll list more if I recall any and make this my reference. Hahaha! ^o^

For me 'OMO!' has recently replaced 'Aigoo! Ottoke?' :) There are so many words and phrases I've learned to recognize and understand but cannot write them down. (TT^TT)
