Korea Well you guys all know that hello is "annyeonghaseyo" in Korean right If you don't please go watch my 25 must-know Korean phrases for beginners first and come back So let's just skip the "annyeonghaseyo" is hello part and the first phrase Excuse me meaning excuse me If you're visiting a busy city like Seoul you'll probably need to know this phrase Because you'll find yourself in many situations where you need to say "excuse me " But actually Koreans aren't really used to saying "excuse me" in public places The Seoul subway is very busy especially during rush hour Everyone will bump into one another but they don't say excuse me So even though you are in that situation don't get shocked It's just like that But still it's useful to know this phrase: "Excuse me " Because not just in this situation when you're trying to ask a question of a random person you'll need to say "excuse me " You can say "Excuse me" and then ask the question you want to ask Then let's move on to the next phrase Actually before moving on to the next phrase I have one grammar point I want to teach you Basically you attach this "juseyo" after the verb actually after the conjugated verb But we are not going to go that deep in this video right now If you attach "please" after the conjugated verb then it becomes "please verb" In this video we are going to learn many phrases actually two phrases that use this verb structure So the second phrase is Can you guess what it means Yes please give me this Because this is something we learned in this and that Korean video You see this and that is used a lot I think I said this almost two or three times So "iegeo" means this thing And "juseyo" means please give "Juseyo" actually just means to give please give So give me this please And this is super useful when you go traveling in Korea Because you can be at the restaurant and when you are ordering food you can just point at the menu and say "Please give me this " Or you can be at a shopping mall and point at the thing you like and say "Give me this please " Or at the club you can point at the girl or the guy you like and say "This one please " Just kidding The third phrase is "Well this is super easy " It means yes When you are traveling to another country you should know how to say yes right Yes in Korean sí in Spanish yes in English When a Korean person is talking you can be like Then this Korean person will say "Oh my god that foreigner He understands everything I'm saying " And he'll start talking in Korean and asking you questions in Korean You should be like I don't speak Korean So our next phrase our third phrase is I don't speak Korean How to say that in Korean What is "저" "저" means me You can be like Me is "나" right "저" is a formal and honorific way of saying me So you can actually just say "I" The Korean language is called Korean You can also say Korean Some people ask me through comments what the difference is between 한국말 and 한국어 Those two are the same It has the same meaning no difference not at all But the only difference is that " mal" is like a native Korean word And "eo" is a Sino-Korean word So if you can speak Chinese it is That's the only difference But if you were like What is she talking about Then you don't need to know this Just know that 한국어 is Korean and 한국말 is Korean And these two have the same meaning So back to the topic I can't I can't speak Korean So when some Korean people come to you and talk in Korean blah and you are not that good in Korean you can say "I don't speak Korean " But actually you guys can a little bit So you can be like I can' t speak Korean well Well means well So I don't speak Korean well I don't speak Korean well Or you could say Do you see the difference It was "mot-hae-yo" which means I can't but now it's changed to "hae-yo" I can But I can speak just a little bit I can speak Korean a little bit The fifth phrase is since we learned how to say yes "ne" in Korean we need to know how to
