That “Time Of The Month” Vocab

just think about how grateful your future self will be if you keep going. how glad you will be for having worked so hard. it will all be worth it.

in this house we do grandma activities

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

It’s been a while, y’all.

I’m in that twilight zone between graduation and graduate school. So applying for jobs is like: Hi I want to work for you but only for like a year so hope you don’t hate me. 

Luckily, there is going to be a graduate school fair near me soon so I can talk to actual humans in person about my choices. 

Just had to get that out there. Love y’all and hope whatever kind of day you’re having gets better!

I like Marie Kondo because I’m so used to all the rhetoric around “decluttering” or “tidying up” being about how it’s somehow immoral to own things and that we need to burn our possessions and all live in sterile minimalist Hell in a plain white apartment with a deck chair and one potted plant.

So I like hearing the tidy lady tell me that yes I should live in a hovel with a bunch of linguistics books and dragon statues and here are some ways to keep the hovel clean and orderly while I lurk in it.

It’s so refreshing.

once you stop fantasizing about that ideal version of yourself and start working towards becoming that person by setting your alarm clock earlier and actually going to the gym and actually volunteering at places and actually eating healthier and not procrastinating and working just a little bit harder you’ll realize that it was so easy all along. becoming your ideal self will only ever exist in your mind until you make the decision to work towards becoming that person. get up!! get going!! it’s now or never!! there is no light at the end of the tunnel!! get that flashlight and pave your own path bitch bc no one else is going to do it for u!!

reminder to self: stop waiting to feel ready. you’re not going to feel ready until you’re doing the thing you’re waiting to feel ready for. start doing it and the readiness will come

So many languages so little brain

존댓말 and 반말

This lesson is to learn the differences between 존댓말 and 반말. In addition to that you will learn some Korean honorifics.

There are three politeness levels in Korean. Here is an example of them:

Words ending with -ᄇ니다 are the most polite/ formal. (존댓말)

Words ending with -아요, 어요, 여요 are slightly less formal but still polite. (존댓말)

Words ending with -아, 어, 여 are informal and far more casual. (반말)

Some examples:

고맙습니다 - 고마워요 - 고마워 (Thank you)

반갑습니다 - 반가워요 - 반가워 (Nice to meet you)

알겠습니다 - 알겠어요 - 알겠어 (I understand)

When to use 존댓말 and 반말

You must use 존댓말 if:

The person you are speaking to is older than you

The person you are speaking to you did not give you permission to use 반말 with them

You don’t know or just met the person you are speaking to

You are in a professional environment

You can use 반말 if:

The person you are speaking to if younger than you

The person you are speaking to is older but gave you permission to use 반말 with them

You are the same age as the person you are speaking to

You are writing or speaking to yourself

How to change 존댓말 to 반말

Luckily it is relatively easy to change 존댓말 to 반말. Here’s how:

Present tense:

-아/어/여요 —> -아/어/여

-이에요 / -예요 –> -이야 / -야

Past tense:

-았/었/였어요 —> -았/었/였어

Future tense:

-(으)ᄅ 거예요 –> -(으)ᄅ 거야

Honorifics Vocab:

씨 is added after someone’s name to politely address them.

아줌마 is used to address middle-aged women.

아저씨 is used to address middle-aged men.

선생님 is used to address your senior at work, school, etc… It can also mean “teacher” and “doctor.”

후배 is used to talk about someone who is your junior at work or school. However, you don’t address them as this directly.

언니 is used only by females. This literally means “older sister” but can be used to addressed other older females.

누나 is only used by males. Like 언니, it means “older sister” and can be used to address older females.

오빠 is only used by female. It means “older brother” but can be used to address other older males.

형 is only used by males. It means “older brother” but can be used to address other older males.
