Some common slangs explained

Hi guys! 잘 지냈어요? Today we are going to learn new and very easy Korean slangs. 시작할까요?

"강추"

"강추" is a combination of 강 강력(strong) and 추 추천(recommendation). So, "강추" is something strongly recommend. If you like something and you want to share and recommend this to your friends or family, you can use this slang.

-이 책을 읽었어요? 진짜 재미있네요! 강추예요!-Did you read this book? It's really interesting! I highly recommend it!

"개고생"

개고생 "개" dog + "고생" hardship. But actually it's no relation to the dog. "개" means the entire world.

So, that Korean slang you can use when describe a situation when you or someone goes through very hard physical and mental hardship.

Example:

핸드폰을 잃어버려서 개고생 했어요. I lost my phone, so I had really hard time.

Important

Noun 개고생, Noun + "to be" 개고생이다, Verb 개고생(을 ) 하다
