Let's Speak Korean 1(Ep.24) What number did you call- - 몇 번에 거셨어요-

안녕하세요, welcome to Let's Speak Korean. I'm your host Lisa Kelley and next to me we have our wonderful friend Stephen Revere. How are you? Hi, hi everybody. Thanks for being with us again 안녕하세요. And we're going to be talking about, we're on phones still, we're going to be talking about telephones. And today, something that happens to me quite a bit, somebody calls me up and I get a wrong number. You know, quite often when you're on the cell phone, somebody will call you up and it will be a wrong number. And here's how you can, we will give you today how you can ask what number they're trying to get a hold of. Right, or you could be the one that's actually calling and you need to understand what they're saying. Okay, and we also have Mary in the studio and Jason next to her. 안녕하세요, Lisa씨. 안녕하세요, Stephen씨. 안녕하세요, 저는 미련입니다. And I don't know if you noticed that, but me and Stephen are wearing a couple of shirts. Okay. I was so happy about it. Are you happy about it? Yeah. The coordinator set us up with a couple of shirts, pretty much, yeah. Okay, and hello Jason. 안녕하세요, 저는 제이슨입니다. Unfortunately, I ended up with this thing, and don't mind these little bugs crawling around me. All right, well here's a quick question on the spot. What do modern people need and perhaps probably can't live without these days? Something that you use. I saw their phone. Everybody except Jason, of course. Oh gosh, of course. I know, that's the wonder of Korea. He's probably the only person in Korea without a cell phone. I think I am, actually. Well, unlike America or some other Western countries where cell phones are very popular, here everyone from the age of eight has one. Okay, well obviously with all the phones these days, we also have lots of spam mail and text messages and phone calls coming in that are very commercial. And obviously when you get these, it gets on your nerves and you can't just say, no, call someone else and just hang up on them. So today, we're going to learn the proper and the more nicer way, appropriate way, with good etiquette skills, how to block these calls and also to take them on, or when you're calling them, how to respond to other people. So let's go take a look at today's expressions. Let's do it. 여보세요? 거기 김 선생님 댁이지요? 아닌데요. 몇 번에 거셨어요? 거기 012에 3456 아니에요? 전화 잘못 거셨어요. Okay, last time we learned this as well, and this time we have it again. It's, hello, 여보세요? 거기 김 선생님 댁이지요? You're asking, the 지요 form is this, Mr. Kim's residence, and you're asking. And the answer last time was 네, this is his house. Today, we're learning, no, it's not. You've got the wrong number. 아닌데요. No, it is not. 몇 번에, what number did you dial? 거셨어요. Okay? Yeah, that might be a little confusing. 몇 is how many or how much. Normally, when we translate it directly into English, but when you're asking what number did you call, often when you're asking about numbers, what time is it? 몇 시예요? Right? You will end up using 몇 as the beginning of the sentence. 몇 시예요? 몇 번에 거셨어요? And this is probably a good time to mention the number form, which is very hard here again. I'll ask Stephen, and you can respond with a number. 몇 번에 거셨어요? 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, okay. These are the numbers, let's go over the numbers. This is the Chinese form of the numbers, the Sino-Korean numbers. Repeat after me. 1, 2, 3. Let's go for this. 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3, and then we're going to go 4, 5, 6. 4, 5, 6. Jason, let me hear Jason here, too. Come on. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Okay, and then we have 7, 8, 9. 7, 8, 9. These guys are fast, aren't they? They are faster than the camera. The camera is chasing them. 7, 8, 9. Very good. And a funny thing we want to mention is that they've got two forms of 0 here. Yes, a mistake I often made when first learning Korean, you said 0. 영 is also zero, but it's not used ever when talking about telephone numbers, okay? You use 공, okay? So 공, repeat after me, 공. 공. You're so fast, wait for the camera, what did you, 공. 공. And then we want to say, you have dialed the wrong number, which is 전화, phone, 잘못 거셨어요. You have dialed the wrong number, 전화 잘못 거셨어요. Another challenging thing, because the actual verb is 걸다, but it's called an irregular ㄹ verb. Now, the cool thing about irregular ㄹ verbs is they're regular in the sense that there's a rule, okay? And when one of these verbs comes up in front of a ㅅ, as in this case, because 셨어요. So when it comes in front of an ㅅ like this, it disappears. You have to get rid of it, 잘못 거셨어요. Always remember to just drop that ㄹ in front of an ㅅ. I think the Korean language would just be so much easier to learn if they didn't have all these irregular verbs, but we've got like ten more in the English language. English is way worse. So consider it that much easier. Let's go and pronounce these. Remember to open your mouth wide and repeat loudly after us. The first one was, hello, is this Mr. Kim's residence? Do you remember how to say it? 여보세요? 거기 김 선생님 댁이죠? And we want to say, no, it's not. What number have you dialed? 아닌데요, 몇 번에 거셨어요? And then you ask them, isn't this such and such number? Make up your own numbers, remembering the sign of numbers, okay? 아닌데요, 거기 blank blank blank number 아니에요? 거기 3236744 아니에요? 거기 1234567 아니에요? Right, obviously these numbers take some time to get down. So practice it on your own. Anyways, let's go and review what we've learned today through Wrap It Up. Wrap It Up with Lisa and Stephen 여보세요? 거기 김 선생님 댁이죠? 아닌데요, 몇 번에 거셨어요? 거기 000에 000 아니에요? 전화 잘못 거셨어요? That's a lot of expressions, but as always, they're all helpful expressions. We definitely need them. One more thing we want to add at the end. In Korea, I don't know about other countries, but in America and Canada, all of the phone numbers are 7 digits, right? Yeah, 7 digits, right? So when you've got the 7 digits, you always know where that dash goes. However, in Korea, some phone numbers are 8 digits. Therefore, what often happens is Koreans, they don't say dash이, instead they say 에. So they will say, were I to read the number 2001-3001, I would say 이 공공일에 삼 공공일. That's how I would read that. Because then you know where that dash needs to go. One more cultural tip that has to do with numbers. When we dial 911 quick, or 411 for information or whatever, here it's the opposite. So instead of 911, it would be 일일구. And then what's information? I don't know that. It is, huh? Right. Very good. Just a little cultural tip to keep in mind. Alright, thank you for joining us today. And next time, we're going to go just a little bit further into this telephone conversation that we've been talking about. So please join us then. See you then. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye, everyone.
