Sino Korean Vocab; The 생 in 인생 Meaning

The 생 in 인생 meaning comes from the Hanja 生 which meaning is tied to life and living. You’ll find 생 in a lot of words; from a social life, birth, and even over to students!

생: life 인생: human life 생명: life, soul 일상생활: everyday (daily) life 일생: one’s lifetime 평생: lifetime 사생활: private life 사��생활: social life 생계: livelihood 생활: someone’s lifestyle/daily life 생활비: cost of living 생활환경: living environment 고생: a hard life/hardships

고생하다: to suffer/have hardships 발생하다: to occur/happen

미생물: microbe 발생: occurrence 생장: growth 생존: being/existence 동생: younger sibling

생산: production 생산자: manufacturer/producer 생존: survival 생존자: survivor

재생: rebirth/regeneration/reincarnation (lit. again/re- life) 출생: baby birth 탄생: birth (more general; can be used for animals, birth of new technology, etc.) 년생: year of birth 생일: birthday

Student Vocab with 생 Hanja

While 인생 meaning can seem intuitive once you learn that 생 is tied to life you might be confused as to why 생 and its Hanja is found in words for students, studying, and teachers. 생 means life but also living so when I think about it I can see the connection, 학 is tied to learning so a student’s life is focused on learning, right?

생물: creature (lit. life creature) 생물학: biology (lit. life creature learning) 생화학: biochemistry (lit. life change learning)

선생: teacher 학생: student 신입생: a new student/freshman 유학생: exchange student/student studying abroad

대학생: university student 중학생: middle school student 초등학생: an elementary school student 모범생: model student 장학생: student on a scholarship 학생증: student identification 졸업생: a graduate

A thought occurred to me today. The language I count in depends on how high I'm counting...

I first started noticing this when someone pointed out to me that I was counting cash in French when I worked at a grocery store as a cashier (in Maine, USA). I didn't even realize, as I don't fluently speak French, but I was around people who did when I was a baby/toddler??

So if I count 1-2-3 it's Hana Dul Set (Korean)

But if it's 1-5 it's ir il sam sa oh (Sino-Korean)

If it's 1-10 it's Un deux trois quatre cinq six sept huit Neuf dix

If it's 11-12 it's elf-zwölf

If it's any number higher than that it's in English.

So if I were to count to 15, out loud, I would speak French for 1-10, switch to German for 11,12 and then switch to English for 13,14,15.

BUT

if I count backwards from 5, it's sino-Korean

If I count backwards from any other number, it's in English.

Chapter Three

╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝

"Hyejiiii you gotta be kidding me!? You're not coming?" you whined as you called Hyeji since you wanted to ask them to hang out at this recently opened amusement park and to also celebrate the fact that you made it through 8th grade without anyone failing any subjects.

"I mean, I'm coming but I can't hang out with you guys.. I kind of enrolled in this dance group and luckily got in. They asked if I wanted to go with them and I said yes.." Hyeji explained and you pouted. Hyeji won't be able to come, Haeun is on a vacation abroad and Bada is a bit busy since she's also training to be a dancer.

"Oh okay.. And congratulations by the way! I'll need your autograph when I see you so I can say to people that I got your autograph first before you got famous." you joked and you could hear Hyeji laugh. You miss your friends but then again, all of you are quite busy. Bada and Hyeji are training to be dancers, Haeun is enjoying her vacation and doing some modelling on the side while you're being enrolled in several acting classes not because your mom forced you to do it but because you really want to be an actress yourself like her.

"You're crazy.. See you whenever, bub. Gotta go!" and the call ended. You plopped down on your bed, thinking of who to invite. Well the only one left is Bada. Though you're hesitating if you should call her considering she's on the same path as Hyeji and you'd be extremely sad if she declines as well. Before you could even call her, Bada decided to barge inside your room, completely unannounced and plopping down next to you on the bed.

"Jesus! You scared me!" you complained and smacked her with a pillow and she laughed, ruffling your hair.

"Go get dressed! We're going to that amusement park since I don't have any dance classes today. Hurry or I'm dragging your ass." she says and you immediately get up, getting ready and soon you were racing with Bada to the car.

"Heyyy you didn't return that shirt to me. You have had that since your first day." Bada says as she noticed that you're wearing the shirt she lent you on your first day being transferred to her school.

"It's mine now even though it clearly says Lee 22 at the back." you laughed and made sure your seatbelt was on before your driver began driving to the amusement park.

"Can we go to the rollercoaster please? I've never been on one and I wanna try it so bad!" you asked Bada and she really wanted to say no because you might throw up but the way you looked so cute, eyes twinkling with much excitement had her caving in. How could she ever say no to your adorable face? How could she ever say no to you?

You spent the whole afternoon with Bada, trying on rides and games at the amusement park. You only stopped when it was around 7 in the evening and you're both getting hungry. After getting lost for quite some time, you finally got to the restaurant inside the park and shared a meal together. Bada knew it's just a casual hangout for you but deep in her heart, she wants to believe this is your first date together. She had realized months ago that she is in fact, falling in love with you but she didn't want to lose you and the bond she had created with you so she kept her feelings hidden.

"Badaaaa I really wanted that dog stuffed toy from that ring toss game.. But my aim is bad. And the stuffed toy is way too cute!" you rambled your little problem to her and she couldn't help but chuckle at how adorable you are.

"I'll get it for you but you have to ride the Ferris wheel with me right after. Deal?" she held out her hand towards you and you shook it without hesitation because you really wanted that stuffed toy.

Right after you destroyed the order of corn dogs, boneless chicken wings and some fries with Bada, you immediately dragged her to the ring toss booth where you saw the stuffed toy that you wanted and she immediately got to work. She failed a few times but she's not stopping until she gets that stuffed toy for you. And when she did, you were overjoyed that you weren't really thinking properly. You just turned to Bada, cup her cheeks and just kiss her. Not on the cheeks, but on the lips. You just kissed your best friend on the lips. You just kissed Bada on the lips.

"Shit, shit, shit.. I'm so sorry.. I didn't mean to do that. I was just--" you were rambling apologies to Bada while she just stood there, seemingly in a daze as she's still trying to process the fact that she just had her first kiss. That you just stole her first kiss. She would've freaked out if it was someone else who did that but she felt like she's on cloud nine because it's you who did that. It felt like she could pass away happily knowing that you kissed her. That her crush kissed her.

"No, no it's okay Y/N.. Don't sweat it out. It's all good, we're good." Bada reassured you when you looked like you were about to cry because of that kissing incident. She took you to the ferris wheel but you guys didn't talk about what just happened. Bada wanted to ease your mind so she didn't address it, waiting for you to talk about it if you wanted. You're internally freaking out yourself. You just kissed Bada and it was your first kiss.

"Look, I'm really sorry about earlier.. I really am." you finally spoke as you're both on the ferris wheel and she gives you a smile and a gentle squeeze on the hand.

"It's okay, Y/N. I swear. It's all good, no big deal. Plus, I'll gladly audition as your kiss partner while you're training to be an actress like your mom. You just gotta give me food and tutor me in return." Bada jokes and you finally crack up, laughing at the idea of you practicing a kissing scene with her then paying her with food afterwards. It's ridiculous but deep down, you wanted it just as bad as she does. The way her lips felt against yours is just perfect. It felt right like it was made to be.

"I'll have to think about it but keep your lines open." you told her in a playful manner and she just pinched your cheek, telling you as if you'd get roles with kissing scenes considering you're still a minor and that your dad will kill people if you get that kind of scene.

That night was memorable and it's what brings you comfort, especially when both you and Bada got busy. With you doing workshops for acting and Bada doing dance classes. You barely hang out anymore but would still text along with Hyeji and Haeun. You couldn't wait for the next school year to start so you could be with your friends again, so you could be with Bada again because you're missing her presence. You're missing her deeply.

Bada wanted to just leave her dance classes and go to your house, hang out with you and just be with you but ever since the kissing incident happened, she decided to distance herself a little bit just to regain control over her feelings. She didn't want you to think that she only befriended you because she wanted to date you. She doesn't want you to think that she's using her friendship with you as a leverage for you to love her. It pains her to be away from you for too long but she's got to do it. She's falling dangerously fast for you and she doesn't want you to avoid her if ever you find out about the feelings she's kept locked away. She values your friendship more than anything else, more than her feelings.

Bada: I'm sorry, Y/N but I don't know how I'll ever deal with losing you if you find out I'm so in love with you.. Maybe someday I'll find the courage to tell you all of this but for now, I'll just love you in secret..

Bada typed on her phone, just saving it on her drafts for now since she hasn't found the courage to confess to you yet. She's just hoping that when the day comes that she confesses to you, you're still available by then so she can shower you with all the love she has to give, she can show you how much she cares and cherishes you.

v. 실감하다 (實感하다)

to feel, to sense, to realize [smth as actually happening]

EXAMPLE SENTENCE

며칠째 그에게 연락이 없는 것을 확인�� 후에야 나는 이별을 실감했다. Only after confirming that for the last few days there's no contact incoming from them, the reality of breakup started sinking in for me.

NOTES

the difference between 실감하다 (실감을 하다) and 실감나다 (실감이 나다) is that the former is a transitive verb and it's used with the object marker -을/를, while the latter is intransitive and is used either with subject marker -이/가 or topic marker -은/는. it's the basic transitive/intransitive, or active/passive sentence structure differences.

to go into more detail, in the example sentence we have "이별을 실감했다" , which very literally and simply would translate as "I sensed a breakup" – this type of form highlights the speaker as someone actively sensing or feeling the breakup. if we wanted to say the same sentence with 실감나다, it would look something like: "이별은 실감이 났다". this type of format takes the spotlight from the speaker, immediately erasing them as someone relevant (i.e. there's no need for an active feeler) implying that the breakup happens by itself and we could translate the sentence as "a breakup has become a reality". this highlights the the breakup itself and the fact that it's becoming a reality.

RELATED WORDS

n. 실감 = lifelike feeling, real feeling

phr. 실감이 나다 (실감나다) = to be realistic, convincing, [for smth] to sink in

phr. 실감이 안 나다/나지 않다 = to not be realistic, convincing (commonly used when one wants to say something "doesn't feel real")

SINO KOREAN NUMBERS PT.1

2024년 8월 7일

안녕하세요 여러분!

Today, i���m going to share how you use sino-korean numbers. You use this numbers to say:

Telephone numbers (05860791834)

Metro/Bus lines (Line 8 / Bus 576)

Height/Weight (150cm and 50kg)

Years old (45yo)

Minutes and seconds (45min and 20 seconds)

Prices (5,000 wons)

Directions (Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney)

Then, after you know this, let get into what we want to know: sino-korean numbers.

0 = 영/공

1 = 일

2 = 이

3 = 삼

4 = 사

5 = 오

6 = 육

7 = 칠

8 = 팔

9 = 구

10 = 십

100 = 백

1.000 = 천

10.000 = 만

100.000 = 십만

1.000.000 = 백만

Now, how do you form numbers like 56, 184, 7.694, 15.696, 294.586 or 6.746.329?

Take you time, please, to read this. If you don’t understand, send me an ask / open the chat and i’ll explain it writting it in a paper <3

These numbers form multiplying and adding numbers. I’ll explain it with the numbers above.

56 = 5 x 10 (50) + 6 = 오 (5) x 십 (10) + 육 (6) = 오십육 (56)

184 = 100 + 8x10 (80) + 4 = 백 (100) + 팔 (8) x 십 (10) + 사 (4) = 백팔십사 (184)

7.694 = 7x1000 (7.000) + 6x100 (600) + 9x10 (90) + 4 = 칠 (7) + 천 (1000) + 육 (6) x 백 (100) + 구 (9) x 십 (10) + 사 (4) = 칠천육백구십사 (7.694)

Lets stop here. Why? Okay, so, you know, we always separate numbers by 3 figures/numbers (9.999.999 for example), but koreans do separate them by 4 figures/numbers. It sounds complicated, i know (my brain freeze the first time i hear it lol).

If the number have more than 4 figures, please, separate them like this:

15.696 = 10.000 // 5.696

1 (10.000) + 5x1000 (5.000) + 6x100 (600) + 9x10 (90) + 6 =

만 (10.000) + 오 (5) x 천 (1.000) + 육 (6) x 백 (100) + 구 (9) x 십 (10) + 육 (6) = 만오천육백구십육 (15.696)

294.586 = 290.000 // 4.586

Tip: 100.000 is 십만, right? okay, and here, you have two numbers: 29 so it will be 2십9만. The first number (2) goes before 십, and the second number (9) goes between 십 and 만.

29 (290.000) + 4x1000 (4.000) + 5x100 (500) + 8x10 (80) + 6 =

이십구만사천오백팔십육

6.746.329 = 6.740.000 / 6.329

Tip: 1.000.000 is 백만. So, here, you have three numbers: 674 and it will be 6백74만. The first number (6) goes before 백, and the second and third number goes between 백 and 만, those two numbers have to be said as a pair, which means, you have to say 74 (7x10+4), not 7 + 4.

6.746.329 = 6x100 (600) + 7x10 (70) + 4 (4) // 6x1000 (6000) + 3x100 (300) + 2x10 (20) + 9 =

육백칠십사만육천삼백이십구.

I know its scary at first, but now, you are going to be able to say from 0 to 9.999.999 in korean! With practice, it will be more easy with the time!

For part two i’ll share how to say korean telephone numbers, what termination you have to use for years, kg, cm, etc.
