[moonreece]

Hey guys, I wanted to get a post up for the first time in a while. And what better topic than my own emotions~ Here are some important and basic 감정 (emotions) in Korean.

행복하다 To be happy —> 덕분에 오늘 정말 행복했어. 고마워. Thanks to you, I was really happy today. Thank you. //  행복한 하루였어.  It was a happy day.

슬프다 To be sad 슬픈 영화를 좋아해요. I like sad movies.

신나다 To be excited (Used when you’re excited about something like going on vacation or dancing or something that makes your heart race!) —> 신나는 노래가 좋아요. I like exciting songs. // 내일 방학이라서 너무 신나! I’m so excited that tomorrow is vacation!

기쁘다 To be happy, pleased, glad —> 내가 준 선물을 좋아해서 나도 기쁘다. I’m so glad that you like the present I gave you.

외롭다 To be lonely —> 혼자서 살아서 외로워요. I’m lonely because I live alone.

화나다/화내다 To get angry (화나다 is used just to express anger that is currently being felt. 화내다 is used to describe an outward expression of anger. So, when you show your anger.)

    그 때 진짜 화났다. I was so mad then.

    화나? Are you mad? (getting mad)

    화내지 마. Don’t get mad (at me). 

    화내면 안 돼요. I can’t show them I’m mad./You can’t show them you’re mad.

짜증나다 To be annoyed or irritated (짜증 means annoyance/irritation and 나다 means to appear. So, this word expresses the appearance of irritation.)

    사람이 길거리에서 쓰레기를 버릴 때 너무 짜증나요. It’s so annoying when people throw garbage away on the street. 

답답하다 To be stuffy, suffocating (This word is described in Korean as being stuffy to the point it’s hard to breathe, but it can often be compared with the English word frustration when used as an emotion. It’s like an emotional blockage where you can’t get relief for your frustration and your chest feels tight.) 

    아무리 많이 설명하더라도 남자 친구가 내 마음을 이해 못해. 아아 너무 답답해. No matter how much I explain myself, my boyfriend can’t understand me. It’s so frustrating.

부럽다 To be envious (This word translates to envious but is used that way “jealous” is used in light situations.) —> 우와아 부모님이 용돈을 주셔서 너무 부럽다! Woah, I’m so jealous your parents give you allowance.

걱정되다/걱정하다 To be worried/to worry (걱정하다 is used to refer to something that you are actively worrying about, normally at the time you’re talking about it or in the past. 걱정되다 refers to more passive worries or something that is worrisome, but not necessarily keeping you up at night.)

    오늘도 많이 안 먹었어? 걱정되네. 무슨 일 있어? You didn’t eat a lot today either? That’s not good./That’s worrisome. Is anything going on?

    어제 연락이 없어 가지고 걱정했거든! 무슨 일 생긴 줄 알았어. I didn’t hear from you yesterday, so I worried, you know! I thought something happened.

   걱정하지 마. 괜찮을 거야. Don’t worry. It will be okay. 

심심하다 To be bored (This is to be bored because you have nothing to do. It’s not to be bored because something is uninteresting. I don’t think it’s an emotion, but it’s definitely a feeling!) —> 할 게 없어서 심심해요. I’m bored because I don’t have anything to do.

부끄럽다 To be embarrassed (It’s also translated to ashamed, and it can have a bit of that feeling, but it’s normally not nearly as strong as the English word. It’s normally used to mean “ashamed” when someone is making a rather formal apology, think like a politician or someone who did something wrong and was caught.) 

    그쪽의 이름을 깜빡해서 부끄럽네요. I’m embarrassed that I forgot your name.

    너무 부끄러웠어요 ㅠㅠ I was so embarrassed. 

어색하다 To be awkward —> 분위기가 너무 어색해서 불편했어요. The atmosphere was so awkward that I felt uncomfortable. 

I hope this helps you on your way to expressing how you feel! Good luck studying everyone.

Thank You in Korean

감사합니다 - This is one of the most standard ways to say “thank you”, and is the most polite. It is 존댓말 (formal speech), so it can be used with those older than you and those you don’t know well.

고맙습니다 - This is another formal version of “thank you.” Like 감사합니다, it is 존댓말, and can be used with those older than you and those you don’t know well. This is slightly less formal than 감사합니다.

고마워요 - This is a causal way of saying “thanks” or “thank you.” It is still slightly polite, however it should only be used with those you are close to.

고마워 - This is the most informal way to say “thanks” or “thank you.” Since it is 반말, it should only be used with close friends and those younger than you.

[moonreece]

Months
