YALL if you haven't seen this show yet... get READY for the best experience of your life LOL
โค๏ธ
I'm sure all of you have heard about Single's inferno and love island BUT have you heard of "Better Late Than Single" ????!?!?!
It's a netflix dating show where all of the contestants have never been in relationships before (but they're all like 20-30s) & it's genuinely so fun ๐
It's been trending so hard in Korea and because they're all kind of inexperienced its REALLY REALLY cute (imo) but some people also call it a comedy show LOL
If you haven't seen it yet, make sure you do!!! And let me know what you think heeh
Korean Slang of the Week ๐ถ
โ"๋ชจํ์๋ก"
On the topic of better late than single, the show in Korean is called "๋ชจํ์๋ก์ง๋ง ์ฐ์ ๋ ํ๊ณ ์ถ์ด" which roughly translates to "Even though I'm a Motae Solo, I want to date"
๋ชจํ์๋ก is the longer verson of the slang "๋ชจ์ "
Let's break down the word:
๋ชจ (mo) - short for "๋ชจํ" which literally means womb of your mother
์ (sseol)- short for ์๋ก which is just the Korean way of writing "solo" (romanized)
So this term literally means: solo since birth (since you were in the womb) But people use it to describe people who have never dated anyone - just like the contestants on this show!
omg this is SUCH a good and niche question, thank you for asking this!!
So our reader wants to know the difference between "์ด๊ฑฐ ์ฃผ์ธ์" versus "์ด๊ฑธ๋ก ์ฃผ์ธ์"
So if we're talking translation, they both mean the same thing - which is "give me (this)"
You would usually use this when you're ordering and just pointing at something on a menu or even like on a display - can be used at a shop/restaurant/cafe !
BUTTT the contextual difference is that you would use ์ด๊ฑธ๋ก ์ฃผ์ธ์ when you're choosing between different options (like multiple flavors of ice-cream) while the former is just "give me this"
I'd say the english equivilent would be something like:
์ด๊ฑฐ ์ฃผ์ธ์ - Please give me this
์ด๊ฑธ๋ก ์ฃผ์ธ์ - I'll take this ONE
The difference is really small but definitely exists! <3
