Teuida is BACK again this week with another newsletter :D
Let's get right into this week's issue of Teugether! βΊοΈ
What's the news in Korea this week?! π°π·
Y'all I don't know HOW to even say this and I'm sure a ton of you may have heard already.... but on December 3rd last week, an emergency Martial Law was passed in Korea... π
It came as a HUGE shock to everyone in Korea and thankfully, it was reversed just a few hours later because our members of Parliament did an emergency vote in the AM..!!!
For those of you who don't know, Martial Law puts all the functions of the government in the hands of the Military + this actually happened in Korea in April 1960 π₯
Back then, people protested to protect democracy -- Just as they did this time! As of now, our president has been banned from leaving the country β€οΈ I've linked some news below for anyone who wants to read more about it!
I'm currently watching Lovely Runner now (NO SPOILERS PLEASE IM NOT DONE YET) & this song is SO good and I wanted to teach this main chorus lyric from it!
κ·Έλ: you (formal)
μ λ¬Ό: gift
μ λλ€: is/are
The word "κ·Έλ" in particular is used to say you but it is a very poetic/romantic way of saying it. You'll often see this used in poetry or music but not as much in real life!
This lyric means "You are a gift" !!! Use this with your romantic partner or crush if you want to make them μ€λ (seul-lae - their heart flutter)
I've gotten this question a couple of times so I thought it would be helpful to make a list of when/to whom you would use formal or informal! Let me know if you have any other specific people you'd like me to add to the list :)
Formal:
Boss
Co-workers
Seniors at school
Family (depends on the family)
anyone who you haven't agreed previously to be casual with
