So anybody korean please correct me. I wanna know if me and my friend got it these words/phrases right! :

-Mother - Uma
-Wanna die? - Chu Gu Lie
-Yes, no maybe - De
-Remember - Inunde

lol i might of spelled alot of them wrong.

Mother - Uma. Yes that's right.
Wanna die? - Chu Gu Lie. It's more like "Jugoleh?" Or, "Neo jugoleh?", but yes, that's right.
Yes, no maybe - De. Sometimes it sounds like de but it's "Neh." And that's for yes. No is "ahnioh", "ahnya" or "ahnee", maybe is...I don't know what maybe is.
Remember - Inunde. You're probably thinking of 있는데, and I'm not sure what that means, but I'm pretty sure it's not 'remember'.

I'm not Korean btw. I just watch enough Kdramas/listen to enough Korean music to know a lot of random phrases, just like you! Haha.

[lovescream]

isn't death note japanese? O_O

i wanna leaaaarn korean. but i'm learning japanese right now. yeaaaahh.. I get help from a korean friend who knows Japanese fluently. I want him to teach me Korean too but he thinks I'll get confused. I guess he knows I'm slow. Darnit.

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

The only phrase I know in Korean is "Yogiwah" which means "Come over here!" I think. I forgot..

I just finished Spanish 3 (currently learning Spanish 4), so anyone who wants to learn some Spanish can ask me.
And I'm almost fluent in Mandarin. My grammar in Chinese is horrible. OH, but I can't write much. I only know a few characters.

[multifaceted]

You learn "Wanna die?"

Well in Korean dramas, someone is always saying that. That is so sad.

If you were to go to Korea, all you could say are Mom, yes, no, maybe, remember, and "Wanna die?"

Oh gosh.

I've always wanted to learn Italian, because it sounds really nice and smooth. I have Polish people who married in on my mom's side of the family, and the way that Polish is written looks really cool. lol, that would be my motive for learning that language.

I speak English, and pretty good German. Dirne!

[voguelove]

hmm, yea.i dont udnerstand any korean at all..

but i do know three types of chinese fluently.

[marzipan]

Haha. I speak English fluently.

I want to learn Chinese and Japanese. I know some Chinese, like numbers and some phrases, but I only know a liiiittle Japanese. And that's just from watching anime. >_<

[Nugget]

lol, mann. i want to know korean, japanese, and chinese.

wei is 'why' i think.

i keep on hearing it in 'stairway to heaven' so yeah.
i don`t think that`s how you spell it, though. it sounds like that, i think, lol.

i love it when they say, 'OK'. it`s so cute. ><

[pandamonium]

Mother - Uma. Yes that's right.
Wanna die? - Chu Gu Lie. It's more like "Jugoleh?" Or, "Neo jugoleh?", but yes, that's right.
Yes, no maybe - De. Sometimes it sounds like de but it's "Neh." And that's for yes. No is "ahnioh", "ahnya" or "ahnee", maybe is...I don't know what maybe is.
Remember - Inunde. You're probably thinking of 있는데, and I'm not sure what that means, but I'm pretty sure it's not 'remember'.

i took italian last year - mostly, because i'm just infatuated with the language. it's gorgeous and smooth like honey =] i want to live in rome someday. unfortunately, i'm a total doof when it comes to languages, and i gave up after a few months. i'm taking spanish this year, and it's much more practical for me.

my favorite italian phrase - BON GIORNIO! [oh gosh, don't even think i spelled that right...] it sounds like BWON JORNOH. it means GOOD MORNING =]

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

Ah, yeah I know that. When I was little I used to watch Godfather 2 and try to say what they were saying I really wish there was a class somewhere where I live that I could take. My school offers, Japanese, Latin, German, Spanish, and French. Even sign language, and no Italian. haha.

korean:
dad: apa.
mom: uma.
brother/male: oppa.
sister/female: dongseng.



if anyone wants to learn vietnamese, i'm here.

[*annonymous.*]

Wei in Mandarin is Hello, I think?

[Gigi]

^ Wei in Mandarin is "for", but it's commonly used for "why". You need to say "wei shenme?", though, which means, "what for?", or "why?"

Hello in Mandarin is "ni hao".

korean:
dad: apa.
mom: uma.
brother/male: oppa.
sister/female: dongseng.

Dongseng...isn't that for a male? Yeodongseng is female, no?

The way I'm familiar with it...

Hyung - male who is older than you, and you are a guy.
Noona - female who is older than you, and you are a guy.
Oppa - male who is older than you, and you are a girl.
Unnie - female who is older than you, and you are a girl.
Dongseng - male who is younger than you.
Yeodongseng - female is is younger than you.

HAHAH LMAO i thought you were korean at the beginning of your post !!!

I'm Chinese, haha. =)

Hello in Mandarin is "ni hao".

Well, I guess it does mean "Hello" because it's what you say when you pick up the phone..
"Ni hao" means "How are you?"

[multifaceted]

I know how to translate Chinese into English but not the other way around. I can only translate some Taiwanese (like two words) and say some Taiwanese (two words).

But thats pretty good for a person who has never been to Chinese school.

[Gigi]

Well, I guess it does mean "Hello" because it's what you say when you pick up the phone..
"Ni hao" means "How are you?"

Wow, I totally forgot about that one. Then yes, it means hello, but only on the phone. And it's more of a question.

"Ni hao" is hello, "Ni hao ma?" is how are you?

I've always wanted to learn French. Je' m'apple Jane.

[*Monochrome.*]

anyone want to learn spanish profanity?

im kidding.
i know spanish and some french [required to learn french for culinary arts school]

[talcumpowder]

Was under the impression that this wasn't allowed.

ADDTIONAL RULES
Translation topics are not allowed.

But in any case ...

OKAY SO NOW I WANNA LEARN JAPANESE.

how do you say ????

-hello
-goodbye
-funny

There is no word in Japanese for hello, in a conventional sense. Konnichiwa literally means "good day." Ohayou means "good morning," and kombanwa is "good evening/night." Okashii means strange/funny ... But it depends on what sort of funny you mean too. I think omoshiroukashii is closer to what you meant. And seriously, you should know goodbye. It's sayounara, or sayonara as it's spelled in English.

Anyone else want Japanese? XD

[eccentricity]

I've always wanted to learn French. Je' m'apple Jane.

Je m'appelle*
=)

[issey miyake]

bal-lee (sp?) = hurry up
nae or neh = yes
kam sa ham ni da = thank you
bo go ship da = i miss you
sa rang hae = i love you
mi ahn hae yo = i'm sorry
yong won = eternity
yong won ee = forever

chingoo = friend

eek really this aint allowed, i think its like translation for curses or profanity, but if anything just close this.

thanks for translating imma remember those words. ahaha

bal-lee (sp?) = hurry up
nae or neh = yes
kam sa ham ni da = thank you
bo go ship da = i miss you
sa rang hae = i love you
mi ahn hae yo = i'm sorry
yong won = eternity
yong won ee = forever

chingoo = friend

thats great but what language is that ahah.

[issey miyake]

lol korean.

[Gigi]

I thought the rule for no translation topics meant for topics that NEEDED to be translated, i.e., topics in different languages.

bal-lee (sp?) = hurry up

I've seen it written more as "pali", although it's pronounced as "bbali"

More Korean:
Yes: Other than neh/nae, you can always use "yeh"
Goodbye (this is said to someone who is leaving): Ahnyounghee kahsaeyo
Goodbye (this is said when you are leaving): Ahnyounghee kyesaeyo
All you alright?: Kwaenchanayo?
Thank you (this one's more formal): Kamsa hamnida
Thank you (more casual): Komap seumnida
Sorry (more emphasis): Chwehsong hamnida
Sorry (less emphasis): Mian hamnida

I take German! :D I'm pretty good at understanding it. Some of the more advanced things I can't do. I can't pick up a German book and know it word for word but I can get the general idea.
