Korean Words With Translation For K-Dramas Lovers

Hello, guys, I am back as I promise.

Now as I am also a K-drama fan! We know how fun it is to be able to watch Korean dramas and understand what’s going on without subtitles, so I am going to help make that happen.

Every day I will post three words, by which we all can understand.

If you can’t read the Korean Alphabet yet, there’s a free guide below that will teach you in about one hour.

Let’s get to it, shall we?

1. 글쎄요 – Well, I don’t know

Pronunciation in Korean: geulsseyo

This is an expression we commonly hear in dramas when a character is being asked for an opinion, idea or an answer and he or she doesn’t know what answer to give or they want to have some time to think.

2. 어쩔 건데 – What are you going to do

Pronunciation in Korean: ojjeol geonde

This may only be used towards a person really close to you or someone of your age and to a person younger than you. It would sound rude and impolite when used to a stranger and to an older person.

3. 뭘 봐요 – What are you looking at

Pronunciation in Korean: mwol bwayo

This question is usually used when a person is looking at you in a strange way. In dramas, you would usually hear this question among characters who have the same age or is addressed to someone younger.
