explanation of the superiority of korean konglish

[uberscheisse]

@DaFawky yeah, just as i had thought... the only thing you have going for you is that you have an internet connection. absolutely zero going on in dafawky land otherwise.

[uberscheisse]

@DaFawky it's assessment, not comprehension. just calling a spade a spade.

[gasman0013]

Nice how it shows the Chinese for "Silk Road" as being bad when it's not even a transliteration; "sichou zhi lu" actually just means the name, it's not an attempt to pronounce the English

[4K4K1K0]

sometimes korean sounded like when a french speaker would have pronounced it (e.g. England)

[totalpunchface]

this video rules

[ohyeskorean]

Korean English conversation.

F = P

[uberscheisse]

i love it. i left it. such things are possible.

[HieronymusBash]

Good. Now leave Youtube. you are being watched by the NSO!

[uberscheisse]

you are mentally ill.

[mahaliqbal]

I dislike anyone going on about how their language is supposedly superior to other tongues. All languages are capable of great beauty and power of expression.

I don't have time to learn Japanese (my plate is full learning Korean right now), but I do think it's a nice-sounding language.

I've even met Italians who say that it's not too hard for them to learn it, cause they both have very simple phonologies, even though they're totally different language families.

[uberscheisse]

the main problem in this vid that the national museum concocted is that they misrepresented japanese usage of loanwords to make korean loanwords look better.

"han ba ga" was mis-koreanized as "haeng beo geo", when you could have just said "han ba ga" with hangeul.

it was bullshit, and i expect more from people with university degrees.

but in the end, i agree. no language is superior, it's a retarded way to think. languages sprout up from roots that are too elaborate to prove superiority.

[leokimvideo]

the only asian language where the people have a grasp of english is vietnam as they use the same abc's as english, without the W or Z

whats very different there the longest word is 6 letters long, and its tonal..

[wallish]

it is rather a sub-par exhibit with many inaccuracies....

[charlz108]

you really seem to know your korean btw seupgi, kyopo and you can type too damn that's pretty impressive.

[uberscheisse]

my korean is actually terrible. i taught so much that it was difficult to study when i lived there. i have basic restaurant/taxi/"don't beat me up!" korean.

[uberscheisse]

it's called going to yongsan market to buy a digital camera and then having to walk pastthe red light district to get there. it's out in the open, you can't miss it. it's also called "reading the paper" because miari texas brothel owners got in trouble a couple of years ago since giant signs saying "no foreigners" tend to cause a ruckus with progressive-thinking people, even if it is a whorehouse.

i have proved no point of yours.

[uberscheisse]

and furthermore, generalizations make you look like a child. like if i were to say "all kyopos are hypertense little fuckers who think they own both countries but are wanted by neither", i would be incorrect. most kyopos are actually nice people who think things through before they type.

the one who told me "get out of my fucking country" with a californian accent is a perfect example of a douche, but one must not paint all kyopo with the same brush.

some of my best friends are kyopos!

[charlz108]

nice job repeating yourself there asswipe. why don't you take down this stupid fucking video before somebody gets really angry and finds out where you live. I don't give a shit how well korean or japanese or chinese translates into english. don't fucking mock Koreans for having pride in their language.

[charlz108]

special olympics? best at speaking english incorrectly in the pacific rim? fuck you asshole i hear plenty of people in the States and in Europe butchering Asian languages. you don't see me putting up a video making fun of them. reciprocity bitch.

[uberscheisse]

wow, seems like i have a VANK queer following my every move.

[charlz108]

wow seems like there's another asiaphile trying to get laid and eat sushi. so how many kids did you molest. sicko.

[uberscheisse]

actually the ones getting away with molesting kids are the older korean men who seem to get away with everything because they are older and nobody wants to step up and do something about it.

have you ever seen a waegookin burberry man? no. they are all korean. have you ever seen a foreigner beat his lady on the subway? no. he would be lynched in a second. but if a korean guy does it...

you need to learn how to compose arguments. baseless accusations make you look like a stupid kid.

[charlz108]

you are one to talk about baseless accusations...like i said before where the hell does the narrator come right out and say such a retarded claim as "we're the best at speaking english in all of the pacific rim"

[uberscheisse]

that is not what i said, idiot. i believe that my friend andrew said "we're the best at speaking english BADLY in the pacific rim."

i can't imagine what would have happened to your face had you suggested HE was a child molester in person. i'm thinking something akin to his fist=godzilla your face=tokyo.

you can be pissy and cuss like a child if you want, but when play that "all foreigners are sexual deviants" card you'll eventually get your face punched out the back of your head. just sayin'.

[charlz108]

ohhhhh wow your friend andrew is going to kick my ass i'm a so scared massa.

Tell your bitch ass friend Andrew I'm 3rd infantry batallion 1st division (WO) i'll riddle his skinny ass with 7.62 mm rounds and then afterwards I'll cut off his fucking balls and shit down his neck.

watch your fucking mouth pussy

[charlz108]

btw if your friend andrew is as fat as you i'm pretty sure i won't have trouble KICKING HIS ASS.

[uberscheisse]

all i'm saying is that if you run your mouth in real life like you do online, one day it's gonna get punched.

but hey, you're a netizen, not a person. stupid of me to think you had corporeal form.

[charlz108]

and all i'm saying is if you keep belittling the Korean language and the korean people with comments about how our academians are on par with 7th grade civics students, you're bound to piss a lot of people off you fucking jerk.

netizen...please your name is like on every single ESL forum out there UBERSHIT

[uberscheisse]

this video betlittled the korean language, it didn't need my help. it made koreans look stupid. i love korea, so i get pissed off when they have to lie to make themselves look better than everyone.

[charlz108]

how the hell does this video belittle anything they're talking about fricking hamburgers for chrissakes and how it translates into chinese, korean, and japanese. fine they made a few spelling errors...big fucking deal, careless maybe, but not stupid.

[uberscheisse]

your first comment in this thread:

"if you keep belittling the Korean language and the korean people with comments about how our academians are on par with 7th grade civics students, you're bound to piss a lot of people off"

your latest comment:

"how the hell does this video belittle anything they're talking about fricking hamburgers"

it's clear to me now that i am either arguing with 1. a bot/spam program or 2. an infant.

sorry, it's been fun but you are now officially boring.

[charlz108]

yea if you noticed I made a distinction between you and the VIDEO. The VIDEO does not belittle anything and I said this in response to your comment:

"this VIDEO belittled the korean language, it didn't need my help. it made koreans look stupid"

[uberscheisse]

i understand that now... my bad.

[charlz108]

that's ok....thanks for apologizing

[charlz108]

You on the other hand do BELITTLE the korean language with comments such as:

"why would you be so proud of something this gay? "we are the best at speaking english incorrectly! in all the pacific rim!" kinda like "hey, we just won the special olympics!"

[uberscheisse]

i don't belittle the korean language.

i belittle this shitty exhibit in an otherwise top-notch museum. please try to pay attention.

i agree that hangeul is the most practical alphabet for foreign loanwords - however, i stick with my opinion that comparing it to other languages and MAKING A MISTAKE ABOUT JAPANESE, A LANGUAGE ANY SELF-RESPECTING KOREAN CURATOR SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST PERIPHERAL KNOWLEDGE OF, is not worthy of a building called "national museum". it's infantile and stupid.

[uberscheisse]

i should say rather "comparing it to other languages IN THIS WAY" meaning dumb, chest-puffing "we're the best! look at petronas towers! world cup 2004!" that is interesting the first 65 times you hear it, but when it's been repeated ad nauseum to somehow prove "wow! another thing we can beat japan at!"... it becomes another example of (semi-innocent but still tiresome) propaganda. i see it all the time in korea, and it's tacky, vapid, and asinine bullshit.

[charlz108]

guess what i read in the paper today

March 5, 2008

4 US Marines in Japan Face Court-Martial

The U.S. military says it will court-martial four U.S. Marines in Japan for the alleged rape of a Japanese woman.

Master Gunnery Sgt. John Cordero of the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station in Iwakuni in southern Japan said Thursday that the courts-martial are to be held beginning next month.

The four Marines, accused of an attack on a 19-year-old woman in October, were charged by the military in December.

[uberscheisse]

and this little news anecdote proves 100% that rape is not a men on women violence problem, but a foreigner-in-korea vs. korean women problem.

and somehow ajosshis raping and beating their wives, and burberry men whacking off outside korean high schools and the miryang gang-rapists somehow get a pass from you.

yeah, it's all the foreigners doing it. you win.

[charlz108]

yea and i guess horny businessmen and sexual deviants planning sex trips to Asia pass under your radar, look online and you'll find entire blogs and literature devoted to this topic "where to get laid, which brothels to avoid, how to coerce the shy asian female to have sex with you" it may not all be rape, but face it you white boys have a serious asian fetish and at the rate you're going i'm sure we'll have a bunch of eurasian monkey halfbreeds running around the street.

[uberscheisse]

yeah, and it's the foreigners who set up those brothels in the first place, right?

have you ever been in a korean red light district? have you ever seen the 'no foreigners' signs?

[charlz108]

its called supply and demand...there wouldn't be so many brothels in the first place without a thriving sex tourist industry. so in a way, yes you did set up those brothels...you and your libidos.

[uberscheisse]

you're wrong. a red light district that is korean only is not going to be affected by the supply and demand of foreign visitors, since they can't spend money there. bad argument.

[charlz108]

i meant red light districts in Asia in general, but w/e

[uberscheisse]

hm. you should read thai newspapers someday and see how many korean men get arrested there for maltreating hookers and bar girls.

[charlz108]

alright dude, not that I entirely agree with everything you say but quite frankly this has dragged on for too long and I have to get ready to go to Iraq. just a word of advice, if you want to avoid people bashing on you I would get rid of that third point in your description especially that part about the special olympics that's just downright mean. That's what really set me off in the first place and as you can tell it already pissed two people off, but its up to you. peace

[uberscheisse]

i'll consider it. it is rude, i admit.

be careful in iraq. i don't like your arguing style, but i certainly wish that you keep safe.

[uberscheisse]

oh - and one more thing, since we're in the business of giving advice - when trying to prove a point, ad hominem attacks weaken your argument.

[charlz108]

yea i'm aware of that I was just bashing you to piss you off. Obviously, none of my points were really valid.

[uberscheisse]

it's easy to be like that when you perceive something as offensive. i totally understand why you got angry.

[charlz108]

alright thanks for understanding. i'll take back all the obscene comments i made. reading them over again I was definitely out of control. like you said, gotta watch my mouth ;) peace bro

[uberscheisse]

successful argument. it reached an agreeable conclusion. peace to you too sir.

[charlz108]

i admit I have a very crude way of getting my point across.

[charlz108]

Besides who gives a shit how well english words sound in korean. The phonetical range of the korean language is limited, you don't have any f sounds or r sounds. I wouldn't expect korean to be the best at pronouncing english words. No asian language is effective at reproducing english words and vice versa. No need to point it out and mock them for it jackass especially if you can't prove they make such pompous claims about their linguistic superiority in your video.

[uberscheisse]

i can't prove they made "pompous" claims, but they deliberately mistransliterated the katakana of "han ba ga"　（ハンバガ） to "행버거". "한바가" is a far more accurate transliteration, and since there was an audio track, it was either them overlooking - or just changing the facts so that it'd support their ridiculous thesis.

had they stuck with the rest of the theme of the exhibit, i.e. sejong's contribution to history and the common man, i wouldn't be so dismissive and critical.

finished?

[charlz108]

"I can't prove they made 'pompous' claims..."

so then SHUT THE FUCK UP and stop with your retarded excuses.

[uberscheisse]

i'm not making excuses. you have bad arguments, so i argue back with better ones that require a giant fucking brain to compose.

am i wrong for expecting that a place called the National Museum of Korea should have exhibits that are put together by scholars, and not idiots who come up with something on par with a 7th grade civics project, or a report on Naver, SBS News, the Korea Herald or some other bullshit fountain famous for its yellow journalism?

[charlz108]

wow so your argument for being smarter than me is "I have a 'giant fucking brain' "

yea its so fucking big the synapses are a mile apart. durrhhhh...

talk about having a superiority complex.

[uberscheisse]

other things you may not know about netizens -

1. they all know every martial art known to man.

2. they can breathe underwater.

3. they all have a ph.d from harvard.

4. none of them live with their moms.

5. no netizen has ever had to pay for sex.

6. they can communicate with ESP.

7. they are all dating supermodels.

8. they don't shit, they just poot talcum powder.

9. they invented food and fishing.

[charlz108]

you shit talcum powder? that's sick...

[uberscheisse]

no, it's awesome. fights off crotch humidity in the summer, a big problem for expats not used to asian seup-gi.

[charlz108]

dude that's fuckin nasty

[uberscheisse]

so's crotch rot.

[uberscheisse]

"i hear plenty of people in the States and in Europe butchering Asian languages."

yes, but the difference is we are expected to actually try to get the pronunciation close to correct.

i put up a video making fun of a really fucking stupid exhibit in the korean national museum. the reason i put it up is that hangeul is actually super cool, and lying to prove that it is better is just stupid.

pointing that out is not racist.

[charlz108]

o yea i like Rosie O Donnell's impression of speaking chinese "ching chong ching chong" congrats that's the closest approximation to Chinese I've ever heard from a wanker.

[charlz108]

I could go on, but apparently all you gathered from your stay in Korea as an ESL teacher (good god i hope they fire the retard that hired a racist asshole like you) was that korea is a "cool" place with "cool" people in it and oh yea don't let me forget, they make good food. Wow nice generic description there asshole, you should write for Fodder's (yea that's right I misspelled it purposely quite fitting for a piece of shit like you huh).

[uberscheisse]

you're stupid. frightfully fucking stupid.

more later, i'm travelling.

if all korea has going for it is (shaky, inconsistent, prone to panicked collapse) economic success, that's pretty pathetic.

i got way more from my stay, you fucking douchebag. i love the place, but if material wealth and a shitty education system is all you have to argue, you've come to the wrong place.

and wow! lots of internet? fucking amazing. cultural panacea, for sure. moron.

[charlz108]

the point is if you think korea's so shitty then stay the fuck away. we certainly don't want smelly fucking wankers like you raping our children. stop with this charade of "oh look i'm teaching korean youth how to speak english properly" and somehow I'm a teacher even though I'm so fucked up in the head that I make my students sing songs about kimchi and listen to punk rock.

[charlz108]

i'm stupid what about you moron. you make a whole bunch of claims about some exhibit and the korean language without even documenting the offense. Where the hell in the video does the narrator make such a pompous claim that Koreans are the best at speaking english?

[Oyo321]

If youre that jealous of Korean achievements, I wouldnt have gone to Korea in the first place.

[uberscheisse]

i'm not jealous of korean achievements. who would be jealous of korea?

nice place to live, but nothing much there to be fucking jealous about.

[Oyo321]

Ignorant white strikes again.

[uberscheisse]

in what way am i ignorant, genius? i'm all ears.

[Oyo321]

That video of Koreanized english words is not meant to boast Korean efficiency of words. It is meant to compare East Asian pronunciations of commonly used english words. Apparently, your vid description sneers with contempt at it.

You would never know the scale of what Korean "achievements" are. They are historically and culturally superior to any nation.

[uberscheisse]

second -

if you provide me with korean achievements that make them historically and culturally superior, i'll listen. newsflash - you won't.

you're boring, dumb and you're lying to yourself about your country's importance.

like i said, cool place, great people, great food... but it sure as hell is not the cultural center of the universe like some koreans think.

now go back to your VANK circle jerk, moron.

[Oyo321]

I never said Korea was the cultural center of the world, and I most definitely detest such a selfish statement.

I never said Korea was "important". Whats your definition of important? I said it was great.

I'll take back my last sentence.

[uberscheisse]

you'll notice that i said "great", too.

when you make statements like "They are historically and culturally superior to any nation." you really open yourself up to being thoroughly destroyed in an argument about culture and history.

no culture is superior. ask around.

[charlz108]

fuck you

[uberscheisse]

context please?

[charlz108]

your vagina

[charlz108]

my penis is in the context of it

[uberscheisse]

sorry, i didn't notice that it was even there.

must be a size issue.

[charlz108]

your vagina must have been too stretched out from being gangbanged by the various men in your videos. i'm sure that you couldn't even feel an elephant's penis in there.

[charlz108]

what an original comeback btw

[uberscheisse]

yeah, and your original "fuck you" was pretty awesome too. nobody has ever done that before. do you have an actual problem with this video or do you just randomly cuss strangers out on the internet?

[uberscheisse]

2 things.

first - the video seems that way on the surface, but it deliberately misrepresents the japanese pronunciations. the katakana "han ba ga" was hangeulized as "haeng beo geo".

i'll admit, hangeul is a great creation. but in a museum designed to laud korean culture and history, i think they could have focused on some of the cooler aspects of hangeul and the korean language. this was just blatant ass-kissing.

[Oyo321]

Think what you like.

[charlz108]

Who would be jealous of korea, really? Fourth largest economy in Asia, Twelfth largest in the World. home to some of the largest multi-billion dollar companies in the world. Samsung, Hyundai Electronics, Hyundai Motor Company and its subsidiary KIA (5th largest carmakers in the world), LG, POSCO, Lotte Group. I guess the retards at Goldman Sachs were on a PCP trip when they predicted that South Korea would have the 3rd highest GDP.

[charlz108]

don't stop me there Korea ranks as having one of the highest broadband penetration rates. first country in the world to offer high speed internet access to primary, junior, and high school students. 11th best in quality of education according to the OECD, South Korea's IT industry was ranked third in terms of overall competitiveness, KAIST' HUBO is one of a handful of humanoid robots, In 2004, Korea won title of having the largest shipbuilding industry in the world.

[uberscheisse]

you misunderstand the meanings of the words "pride" and "jealousy", comrade.
