shinmun....similar to shimbun on japanese

[koreanclass101]

@edwinmichaelquiboloy It is why Japanese learners catch some of the Korean words so fast. : )

`am i right that chinese is the source of a lot of korean and japanese words?

[tokee1234567]

@carrotsup yes. japanese use old chinese letters in their written language. whatever words are influenced from chinese, they just write straight with chinese letters.

with Korean, Koreans still write with their korean letters even if their letters are influenced from chinese letters, and it's called sino-korean letters (korean letters, but influenced from chinese letters.. )

1:28 what is she reading? First-hand accounts of the holocaust?

[frce68]

you know? Japanese kanji pronunciation was from Korean kanji pronunciation. so more similar than Chinese. (kanji=Chinese character)

[tokee1234567]

@frce68 kanji is only the japanese term for chinese character. in korean it's called hanja. I personally just call it chinese characters b/c kanji is only for japan

[DAIGORO14]

the one for newspaper is pretty similar to Japanese. what i like about korean is that they keep a lot of their own words for things not just koreanizing other languages.

[ElementalMisshap]

i think maybe you would say ..just..

self help guides where are?

*shrug*

When you're looking for a particular section of a bookstore, for instance, the 자기개발서 section, what's the most natural way to say, "Do you know where the self-help section is?" I guess I'm most curious about how to translate "section" in this situation. Thank you, as always. :)

[TheKeekingSpiv]

Good question. I'm not sure if they really say section like we do. I'd say the most natural way is 자기개발서 어딜 가요? or something to that extent. You can also say 자기개발서 어디에요? I heard these two sentences in a drama the other day when they were asking for the 응급실. They went up to the 안내사 and asked 응급실은 어디에요? and another 응급실 어딜 가요?
