Today We'll Be Learning About A Korean Idiomatic Expression.

You Never Know These Just Might

Come In Handy 🤷 Hopefully Not lol

"바람 맞다"

바람 = Wind :dash:

맞다 = To Get Hit :wave:

:boom: Literal Translation

to get hit by wind

:boom: Actual Usage

to get stood up

Imagine that you are standing outside when it’s windy out and you are waiting for your date to show up.

The only problem is that your date is a no-show. In this case, the wind is literally hitting you because you’re waiting for someone who never shows up.

An English phrase with equivalent meaning to “바람맞다” is “to be stood up.”

HERE IS SOME SITUATIONAL DIALOGUE :

Dialogue One

어제 데이트 잘 했어요?

Did you have a good date yesterday?

바람맞았어요.

I was stood up.

네? 왜요? 둘이 잘 지내는 거 아니었어요?

What? Why? Weren’t you two getting along well?

모르겠어요. 전화도 안 받아요.

I don’t know. She doesn’t even pick up the phone.

:triangular_flag_on_post: 예문(example sentences) :triangular_flag_on_post:

I was sad because my girlfriend stood me up yesterday.

만나기로 한 친구한테 바람맞아서 갑자기 시간이 생겼어요.

Negation

 Negation In this lesson we’re going to learn about negation in Korean, using 아니다, 안 V, or V-지 않다. N이/가 아니다 ────────────────── -> This is the antonym of 이다, and means “to not be”. -> In informal polite form it is conjugated as 아니에요. -> You combine this verb only with -이/가 attached to a noun. -> It is never used when negating verbs or adjectives, ONLY nouns. EXAMPLES 저는 학생이 아니에요 I am not a student 그 것은 물이 아니에요. 술이에요. That (thing) is not water. It is alcohol. V-지 않다 ────────────────── MEANING: We already know how to say "I study Korean", or "It is pretty". To make these "I do not study Korean" and "It is not pretty", you add -지 않다 to the verb stem. Using -지 않다 -> Verb stem+지 않다 -> Remove 다 to get the verb stem. Regular and irregular verbs are treated the same. -> -지 is attached to the verb stem and there is a space between -지 and 않다. EXAMPLES -> The verb being negated is in parenthesis I do not study Korean. (공부하다) 한국어를 공부하지...

Is ㄹ pronounced as L or R?

This is probably one of the most common questions that beginners ask when learning 한글. Just like every beginner learners, I went through this as well which is why I decided to study pronunciation rules too. I created this post to help clear up any confusion. When ㄹ is located at the beginning of a word, it sounds more like an R. Example: 라디오 (ra-di-o), 레슨 (re-seun), 로맨틱 (ro-man-tik) When ㄹ is located between two vowels, it sounds like an R. Example: 다리 (da-ri), 사랑 (sa-rang), 어렵다 (eo-ryeob-dda), 모르다 (mo-reu-da), 노력 (no-ryeok), 매력 (mae-ryeok) When ㄹ is located at the end of a word, it’s pronounced more like an L. Example: 딸 (ddal), 아들 (a-deul), 월 (weol), 달 (dal), 칼 (khal), 연필 (yeon-pil), 교실 (gyo-sil) When ㄹ is followed by a consonant or followed by another ㄹ, it sounds like L. Example: 딸기 (ddal-gi), 힘들다 (him-deul-da), 몰라 (mol-la), 살자 (sal-ja), 고릴라 (go-ril-la) When ㄹ comes after any consonant except ㄴ, ㄹ is pronounced as N. Example: 생리 (saeng-ni), 국립 (gung-nip), 능력 (neung-nyeok) When ㄹ co...
