What was the first word you picked up while watching a drama?

April
Hi Guys! So.. What was the first word you picked up while watching a drama?
Any language would do! May it be korean, japanese, Chinese or thai, etc.. :)
It would be good if you'll write down from which drama it is & the meaning of it too! ^^

---
Mine was 'Aja' when i watched 'Lovers in paris' :D
'Aja' is a korean word or expression that is equivalent to 'Hwaiting' or 'Fighting'.
It is an encouraging word~ something like that idk how to explain more~ lol

So yeah.. What was the first word you picked up while watching a drama? :3

PS: Jeaniessi was the one who suggested me to post a thread for this topic!
Hope you all participate! ^^

My first drama was My Name is Kim Sam Soon and the first word I really learned was Bienhae/Mienhae ~ I'm Sorry. Koreans apologize a lot! lol. The second was the expression OMO! Similar to Oh My God! or Oh My! The third was Kamsamnida ~ which means Thank You. Koreans are also very polite! :) (nice thread!) ;)

I guess then I learned the word"sensei":D Because I loved watching these school romances <3 Btw it was always from japanese Dramas because I didn´t watch korean Dramas by then :p

The first Korean word I remembered was Aigoooo! Everything I dropped on the floor ended with Aigoooo! I don't remember the first Japanese word because I started watching Naruto before Jdramas and from the constant fights between Naruto and Sasuke I probably remembered Baka and Teme first :D and I've only seen one Taiwanese drama and from it I learned Xiexie and a couple of other words I no longer remember, for some reason I don't like how Chinese sounds, except in songs, in songs I can listen to it

Hmmmm for Korean it was Mwo? and Mworago? Those too were said lot


Japanese.........Ehhh? (although that's more of a noise of confusion and surprise than an actual word) and Nani?

So basically the words that were said in complete confusion and surprise were easy for me to pick up lol

Also I learned the words for love rather quickly too.

Thai -- Rak

Japanese - Suki, Daisuki, aishiteru

Korean -- Saranghe

Chinese -- Wo Ai Ni
