I think Korean is a cute sounding language. It makes me want to learn it. However, nearly every word I've learned by watching dramas I have heard wrong. I still want to learn, but I think it will be hard. I'm sorry I heard as bianhe Really I heard as chincha I like it I heard as chuhuahe As for words I like (probably horribly misspelled): When a guy says hyung poutily it's cute, but a girl saying oppa poutily is nearly always annoying to me. Aigoo/aish/omo Wasoh -you came Opsoh -there isn't any Kachi kajah /kajah- let's go. This is always soo, cute sounding to me :) Andeh-you can't Nomu nomu nomu Shiroh- I don't like. Again, pouty is cute :) I think of it as the Korean equivalent of 'I don't wanna' or sometimes 'DO NOT WAANT!!' I also think the polite endings are cute. -mida in particular Or when they add -yo late because the person is glaring at them for being informal

Aigoo definitely. I tend to use it everyday when I feel like sighing because of something or am troubled. Insteady of anything else I do a big sigh while saying Aigooo

I say aish in almost every conversation I have. And jjinjah...Daebak is also a really fun word.

My favorites have to be 아이고 (aigoo) and 아이씨 (aish) and I can also be heard using 아자 아자 (aja aja) at times. Korean just tends to slip out alot with me lol especially since I've started studying it.

I love when they get angry and use words like :
YA !
Gaeseki ya ! (you son of a b*tch)
Nom (boy, man...after shouting at him ^^)
Aesaeki (brat)
Hajiman (stop)
Mwo/mwo ra go ?! (what/what did you say?)
Aaah jinjja ! (in an angry way)
...and some other but I don't remember right now (too lazy to think about it)

Also I looove when they say "gyopta" (cute)

Yeah.. I have never heard the K in the middle before but I got the translation from Google Translate so take that as you will. The word looked and sounded just like I have heard in movies and dramas so I went with that one.

My friend used to argue with me that mianhae is actually bianhae... who can totally understand Koreans? They just don't say their words clearly...:p
