Busan dialect: speak your mind be direct be
blunt What are you doing
Why are you so angry
I feel like the Busan dialect is fading away especially since people are increasingly using English and standard Korean together
You know how you can tell the difference between someone from Gyeongsang Province and someone who speaks standard Korean right
Can Didi do that
How high does it
go That's right
It's really tough guys
It is truly an honor to be invited in such a manner Oh do we really
need to go that far El Doran we’ve
actually known each other for a while
We weren't strangers we met on YouTube—we
already knew each other How did we meet again
My first impression—wasn't our first meeting during the interview
Oh right that's true
Yes you're right—Didi-san interviewed me
That's right I had the interview and when Mr Eldo
said "Please come in " I went in for the interview
Eldo and I briefly worked at
the same company That's
right I was working there as a designer and what about Eldo
Yes I worked on planning the Korean language courses
How long has PodcastQuest been around
It's been almost four months since we started around early
April so it feels like we're almost at three months now
Are you having fun
Yes honestly at first it did feel
a bit difficult but now I'm just having a great time
Oh really More relaxed now You're feeling relaxed
Yes I guess it's really just my true self now
It feels like it allows me to show more of
my natural self and that seems really great
Yeah it gets more natural the more you do it doesn't it Gradually
Yeah that's why it's so much fun even now
Today my friend Eldo and I are going to discuss one topic
together — and that topic is none other than dialects
Dialects Dialects there's so much to say isn't there
That's right the reason I chose dialects as the topic is
because whenever I talk with Elder Brother El-do
I can just barely hear that regional accent creeping in
That's right
Though there might be people who don't even realize it
I'm from Daegu too that's why I can hear it Oh this
person must be from down south
that's what I'm hearing
Do you happen to be from around here Elder
I'm actually from Busan
Oh Busan
But actually I don't
think Didi -nim uses dialect all that much
So when I first heard that Didi came from Daegu I was really surprised
You seem to have completely eliminated
the regional dialect
Yes I've perfected it
Ah I see Yes so
I lived in Daegu for about 12 years
I moved to Gyeonggi Province around the time I was finishing elementary school
And when you're young you can fix your
speech patterns quickly can't you Yes yes that's right
It didn’t take me even a year not even close to change my way of speaking
I see Actually I started correcting it right from the moment I began teaching Korean
Because when students hear me using a dialect they end up picking up the dialect themselves
So if he uses standard Korean they won't understand him at all
Yes it really does work that way
That's why I realized I had to stop using just dialect and
start correcting it so I've put in a lot of effort ever since
Bu
So when I'm teaching Korean I'm quite conscious
and try to use almost exclusively standard Korean
When I step out of my Korean class then
Oh really
Yes the accent is still a little bit there
Oh then when did Eldo move to the area near Seoul
Oh Seoul I moved to Seoul in 2019
That's when I came
to Seoul for the first
time to start graduate school Wow I see
And then right after that the coronavirus broke out
Oh my really
You haven't met many people have you
That's right yes
Still just one semester
Just one more semester of actually attending school in person now
I've been studying online like this for the rest of the semester
Then about the dialect were you consciously
learning standard language rather than dialect
Yes I was really shocked by that
Honestly in my school's Ohhakdang there are students who have friends who speak dialects
But when I actually talk to
that friend I don't use my dialec
Those friends are no longer mine—they're
already being taught by another teacher
They're already quite fluent in the dialect so they
sometimes have trouble understanding standard Korean
I was really shocked by that
What kind of dialect did those students use
It was the Daegu dialect
Daejeon dialect
Yeah so I can't quite remember but something
And these friends' dialects are like those of Daegu and
Busan which share characteristics of Gyeongsang dialect
Those friends of theirs probably
won't know either when they hear
standard Korean like we do—Ddidi might not react that way though
Having lived in Busan for 20 years I've come to the point
where I still consider Seoul dialect the standard in the subway
When I hear standard Korean
it still feels a little
awkward really awkward Like it's mocking me really
You know stuff like that right
Yeah really
Exactly especially people from Busan or Daegu using Gyeongsang dialec
I get so embarrassed hearing standard Korean don't I
My real friends don't talk to me anymore not even a word
Honestly Just don't say it
You've picked up some strange
way of speaking—neither Busan
dialect nor Seoul dialect yet I definitely have an accent
When they saw him they thought I
was speaking Seoul dialect
again even though I was using standard Korean which wasn't true at all
To El Doh it just seems kind of awkward doesn't it
People from Gyeongsang Province
Oh well that's kind of how it is in Gyeongsang that's right
When we listen to it there's actually intonation especially
with Gyeongsang dialect which has distinct intonation
That could also be called intonation
but the way that pitch accent
intertwines with my emotions just like this in the Busan dialec
We think of
speech as thought but Seoul dialect feels
emotionally flat—it lacks emotion in its intonation
So when there's intonation we tend to perceive some
emotion but conversely when there's no intonation
Hey what's this You know that phrase we often use "no soul"
It just feels so fake somehow
Oh something
Oh really
It just feels like it's being said with no emotion at all
Without emotion
Oh then probably those listening won't really
grasp the tone of voice that carries emotion
Do you have an
example For instance
Stop it you know this kind of thing exists I know I'm
stopping this kind of talk But stop doing this
kind of thing you know it's like this
If this is standard then scrap the Busan dialect—it just feels a bit like that you know
Saying it with complete sincerity
I wish you'd just stop now
But hey stop it
This is getting a bit too much
From my perspective this kind of thing
What is this Is this
real or fake Are
you kidding me
Yes yes Are
you going to beat me
It's kind of like
well that's a bit over
the top but
that's the vibe right Yeah
Withdraw it withdraw it that's good
It seems handy to use frequently
It's something you can use when a friend gets on your nerves right
Oh yeah exactly
You can even use it on your parents sometimes
Oh
really Yes
I used to speak the dialect back in the
day but now it's gradually fading away
I use it at home
too so hearing
it like this kind of reminds
me oh right that's something
I forgot about Yeah me too
Without even realizing it when working with colleagues at the
company standard Korean naturally comes out as much as possible
When I actually talk with my parents or friends
I instantly switch to this automatically
But isn't Gyeongsang dialect especially addictive
This comes out really
fast that dialect of theirs
Oh well I guess that's just their intonation
After all it's both a melody and an accent
so probably because
of that melodic quality
It might sound a bit like singing
So besides expressing such emotions what other
characteristics does the Busan dialect have
The distinctive feature of the Busan dialect is
that although it may also reflect characteristics
of Gyeongsang Province the Busan dialect in particular
has intonation that rises and falls in speech
It has this
intonation and the speech is a bit faster
faster speaking quickly
And there are so many omissions
There are many omissions
For example we call
teacher
Yes
Then teacher oh
that's too long
—let's just
call you "Teacher
" That's right We can shorten
it to two characters Yes
And then
Oh Teacher
No no that's not it
Sir
Sir can you call me a bit more
formally That's right
Teacher I truly feel like calling out to you with all my heart
Hurry up
teacher yes
when are you
calling It's
too long right
and there
are twins aren't
there
Twins
Twins as twins
Yes
We shorten it like that sometimes
Three letters are too long
Yes
And
What did you say just now
What did you say
What's that supposed to
mean Something
like "Oh it's comfortable
short and easy to
learn right What
did you say "
So in a way you could
say that the slightly
regional dialect is quite practical or put another way even more practical
Since you can quickly convey
your opinion
right So could you
possibly share the intonation of that Busan dialect
Wow this
I don't
know either—I've lived
in Busan for 20 years but
I've forgotten
so much that
I 'm not sure how to even begin
I want to learn too now
I really do
I'll go ask a person from Busan
and have them teach
me Busan dialect Really and truly
You're right you're rig
Something when calling a name
Isn't there a way to make
money Just that
You know there are names
with final consonants right
Seongbin
If it's a name like Seongbin isn't that how you'd say it with that kind of tone
When I think of dialect that's exactly what comes to mind
Calling someone's name Yes
Oh
Though it seems like there are cases where people do it that way
Well
Sung-binwhat's
up What
Oh you 've
grown so much
Yeah a bit
but really grown
you've grown
a lot
It's so noticeablenow
That height—yeah
that's right so this
is like wow I really
want to show you
how to pronounce
this intonation you
know I just can't
help it
this part—oh—
Through the paper Yes
I'll prepare it next time
Or in that case can I turn on
the dialect switch a bit now
I'm gradually
raising it really Gradually raising it
Yes So yes probably
keeping it going
like this raising it
like this if we keep doing it this way
It'll come out
naturally won't it
Yeah go in when it's about to end That'll be fun won't it
The dialect that immediately
comes to mind when
you think of Busan is
definitely that one—Oppaya
This is my
older brother isn't it Yes
really
That image of Busan seemed to
have a big impact on so many
people at first
older brother yes
I remember
that moment clearly
My cousins are all
from Busan aren't they
They're friends who were born in Busan
There's just something so cute
about those kids calling
me "onii-chan " especially
now that they're twins
The younger siblings call him "Sungdi
" which is what they used to
call him when he was around four or five years old and it's just so adorable
That's right big brother I'm cute right
There's even a song about you big brother
Yes yes that's right
So
I have an older brother and ever since I was
little I've just kept calling him "older brother older brother" like that
I've always called you oppa but
suddenly it feels a bit awkward coming
from me especially with Daegu
accent making it sound like oppa anyway
Apparently I've heard a lot that Busan emphasizes the front so
older brother
that's a prime example
You have an older
sister don't you
I was shocked too—when I was
in Daegu back then that sister well
were supposed to
meet up with Nul
In front of you
you're
now adding an accent
right older sister
Daegu feels a bit like that doesn't it older sister
Older sister
Sister so that's why they
assigned me
they promoted
me yes behind
that then Seoul National University
Can you pronounce it
Seoul National University
Oh but right now
my standard Korean is heavily
mixed with your dialect so
I guess
well then
I'll ask again when it's almost finished
Seoul National University
Oh wow
Me
This one
When I used to create content back then
I've created content teaching Busan dialect
teaching Busan accent
I've made content like that before
Oh yes
Yes but
a Korean person commented on that
Looks like he's from Busan
He asked me
What kind of Busan
dialect is that
Stuff like
Well
Just plain nonsense
Do you know what he means
That kind of talk
is unacceptable
don't say things
like that yes so I've
lived twenty years now just
Living in Busan like this right
I went to elementary middle and
high school all in
Busan—yeah that 's
correct Just my
personal opinion
That's right it might be a bit different
Others might think differently
That's correct
Among my friends there's one who really speaks Busan dialect
He still lives in Busan and
friends who have actually lived
in Busan for
thirty years since birth are the real ones
They hit me
sometimes when they
talk to me Why
They say they can 't
stand hearing it Oh really Yes those people are just too much
It's too melodramatic
Even now
So if you're listening to this right now
I'd appreciate it if you could keep in mind
that both of us have largely lost our dialects
Yes this is kind of a quirk of my profession
In a way
That's right that's right students
shouldn't learn dialects so when El
-do speaks in the Busan dialect
versus now speaking in standard Korean
Is there something
about it that feels different from how other people
experience it For example when writing
in English versus when writing in Korean
Just like intonation and tone can
vary so much there's definitely
a difference in how it feels—actually it's quite different
Actually when speaking Korean versus English
my voice itself
changes and so does my tone
Some people might know that while others might not
in fact English
is based on diaphragmatic breathing
So the breath rises from the
chest and now from the mouth as
well with a lot of
vocalization coming from the back part but now
Indeed teachers Korean is
primarily produced around the chest
area with vocalization mostly
occurring at the front of the mouth
So when I speak English
it's a bit lower
in pitch compared to when I speak Korean
and the reason why the pitch is higher when speaking
Korean is that it sounds more restrained and nuanced
Korean isn't really awkward is it
There aren't a lot of overly flowery expressions are there
No no it's quite clean and straightforward
Something about English being so
greasy—well that's
the word greasy—there
are so many expressions like that
and one reason is exactly that—so that's it
Then when you speak in
Busan dialect and when you
use Seoul speech how is the Seoul speech a bit
It feels a bit greasy doesn't it
Seoul speech somehow makes me feel like
I have to be a little more insincere
I speak more plainly but there's a sense that
Busan dialect is spoken a bit more forcefully
It's probably because I come across as expressing more emotion when speaking which
is why in reality my use of standard Korean differs from when I'm speaking casually
Speaking in Busan dialect feels a bit more physically
draining it takes more energy to speak in Busan dialect
When emotions are poured in
emotions themselves get blocked
Listening to El do's tone right now I'
m not sure if it's because he still has
his teacher's habits but
it sounds incredibly warm and affectionate Yeah exactly
It has a warm tone but it
might sound different if you
hear it with a Busan accent
—right What are you up to
There's a child there
Really Why wouldn't you
It just feels a bit off
Why are you so upset though
They're all furious now
That's the point
That's the point
That's why so many people living in Seoul
When you come to Busan what really surprises me is
why are you so angry
Yeah but really
But we're not angry we're
just expressing my feelings
more deeply conveying emotions with greater intensity
So when a few foreigners came to Busan
it was like oh Busan people are just so
Many people feel it's
sharp but it's not so much
sharpness as conveying emotions more intensely
I think you could accept it as being more sincere
But I've really heard that they were extremely angry
Yes I felt it quite a bit too
From the perspective of someone who doesn't use dialects it's different again
When I hear my parents talking their tone immediately
goes up by about three notches
and their voices get louder
But it's just casual
conversation—people from Seoul
sometimes find it a bit
intimidating though yeah that's true
But it's kind of incredibly fascinating really
And honestly I think Didi probably doesn't even realize it
So I well
I still remember clearly that back then when I
was in middle and high
school I had to go to Seoul
My relatives live in Seoul so when I went there
I ended up speaking Busan dialect on the subway
I felt like everyone was staring at me
I actually looked around but
and it hit me so hard
She's speaking a bit in Busan dialect kind of like that right
She's speaking a bit in Busan dialect
Oh that's why she's talking a bit like tha
I felt a bit discouraged at that moment
wondering if I shouldn 't
have written that
So when I took the subway in Seoul I didn't talk
much just like I used to in middle and high school
Really that's exactly
how it was isn'
t it Is this Response
1997 Since then
There's a drama called Reply
1997 you know—really fun set in Busan so
they use Gyeongsang dialect
Those characters the protagonist's friends stepping in and
delivering lines like this— it
absolutely hit home with everyone
It was almost a mega hit wasn't
it Since then I've watched it too and
honestly I'm a guy
myself and I still
get butterflies when I'm around men
Wow that's some serious Busan dialect talking like that
Yeah yeah the male lead came off really cool didn't
he Who was it again
Seo In-guk looked really cool didn't he
Since then the way people perceive
that dialect has changed so much
for the better that it could truly
be called the Gyeongsang dialect
So I was
really grateful for
Reply 1997
because before that
although I'm from Busan
I had a slight
hesitation about using
Busan dialect but in truth after that
Instead I feel even more
confident and it's actually
clearer now who's really speaking Busan dialect
It seems really important
given that Seo In-guk wrote it
That's why we also think it looks
really cool when movie stars
or models wear clothes or carry
bags so we want to imitate them
That's right it's exactly that
kind of feeling because before that
as far as I remember they used a
lot of dialect a lot of dialect
There have been almost no dramas like that on your channel
You never really talked about it much on air
That's right
But now that it's
Now playing MacAyt with a
dialect feels natural and
oddly enough that very
trait has become a strength
Yeah I feel like I've become a fun character
one of the characters
the Respond series ever since
Keeping up the dialect is getting
repetitive and it feels like it's been used a lot
in other dramas too so I'm wondering if it's really necessary at this point
If you want to learn the Busan
dialect I truly recommend watching
the drama Reply 1997
It'll be much more helpful really
You'll get to see a cool person
speaking in dialect
Right Of course
now And also the dialect itself
That's because dialects vary
depending on the generation
which is why Real Response 1997 stands out so much
Learning the dialect used here will let you
pick up the
Busan dialect that many people
think of as the Busan dialect
Standard Busan dialect
Yeah that's right
I'm just about to finish with only a slight accent remaining
You probably don't realize this but it's
possible that El-do is
speaking in a dialect
I see When I first moved to Gyeonggi Province I got teased a lot for
speaking with a dialect
Yeah you didn't cry
too much did you
I don't remember clearly but it
was so shocking and painful that
I fixed it right away instead
so in a way I'm actually grateful
I was able to fix it quickly and smoothly
Wait am I being teased
Then I should change it fast in their tone
So I did
Other countries also mock us for using dialects like this
I'm not sure if there are such peculiar
ways of looking at things but I know they
exist Just take English alone—both
Australian and American accents for instance
And even Japan has its own dialects
like Osaka and Tokyo Kyoto and
China too has such regional
variations which seems really fascinating
Yeah intonation kind of gives off
a vibe like the image it conveys—
when you think of people
from Busan you get this rough-edged image right
But there's also a funny image
included a fun image that makes
things sound amusing with a
rough visual somewhat in Japan
People from Busan are often said to be very similar to people from Osaka and that
kind of comment is heard all the time now
friends from Seoul or Gyeonggi Province also
Now I'm pretty much like
my friends in Kyoto or Tokyo
It's amazing—despite being a different
country there are still these similar aspects
It might be different now but back then
if you said "Busan guy " it just meant
someone who was really quiet extremely
reserved and didn't say much at all
That's right
You can't leave that out
That's right
I don't know why that image exists but
it did exist
the image of being aloof
Is El-do really quiet
Not at all
That's why people say
You're from Busan so why do you talk so much
I've done it that way too
a talkative style
which is also influenced by my mother
My mother
We don't have a daughter so Mom might feel lonely now
but originally Mom and daughter
used to get along so well
Becoming close friends is one
thing but my mom says I can't even
go to the bathhouse together with
her let alone go shopping together
I'll definitely go shopping with
you but 30 minutes is my limit
My son he must have wanted
to talk to his mother so
much that now it's come to
this—what a good son he was
Still because you've been making an effort to talk
a lot with Mom that's why you've become so talkative
That's right it's better to have
plenty to say than to be blunt
it seems to have
a positive effect
This just came to mind suddenly
When I say the four-character word it just feels really
regional like "Gandi Hera"
or something along those lines
Everland
words like Everland
You speak Daegu dialect just like me so you're
one of those cases that can't be fixed quickly
But you also mentioned
back in middle school
that you went on a field trip to Everland
My brother said Everland back then
His nickname was Everland
until the end of middle school
I told you so everyone—back then if you spoke a
dialect they'd tease you
and they'd call it Everland
If it had happened in Busan I would've really given them a piece of my mind
the people from Busan
what's Everland like
well you know Everland
You write very
well Everland
But your characters—your
characters are Daegu Bank and
such things—what's that
supposed to mean Gandhi Hera
But is the subtitle okay for you right now
It would be nice if we could indicate the
pronunciation here this is Busan dialect you know
That's what Wagla said and Daegu said Waka so this is
it Really
Yes Waka
You're not good at things like saying stuff like that are you
What's this a Wokan
That's right just now
wasn't it like that Wokan
It's weird isn't it
I thought that was the end of Wakanda forever
No it's Wakanda not Wakane—why are
you saying that That's Daegu dialect
Wow it's really really different We 're
from the same Gyeongsang region
I didn't expect the Wakanda drop
I actually heard it myself
No way Wakanda
Yeah apparently it's happening
Yes and Guahan na
I don't know I use stuff like this all the time—apparently people
in Daegu use expressions like "what's up" and "what's going on" a lot
Yes yes Yes
really yes
My friend has friends in Daegu
Really Catna Catda
I thought you were a
miner What am I always
supposed to dig up
Yeah really something like
"cat-ta" and then "It was
him he did it like that "
yeah And then I came to Daegu
I studied briefly in Daegu back then and when I heard it
from my friends at that time
you know that nonsense stuff
They use it all the time really
But to me it's an insult
Yeah me too
In Daegu apparently it's not considered an insult
That's the thing
Yeah it was just nonsense nonsense nonsense—like that's
how they wrote it and it was
such a culture shock really
What's going on with these people This
is kind of them doing it themselves I
actually asked myself back then It's like
they say something themselves and then
It's a bit of an odd situation
when you say something like that
What could there
possibly be For example
Who cares what they're saying about someone winning the lottery
yesterday acting all crazy like that—I guess I could be like that too
It's like when you keep saying something that
doesn't make sense you
know it's not right right
It feels like something you just brush off when you're
embarrassed a way of simply covering up what you've said
That's fun
Well Eldo has lived a long time in Busan too
And now he's also lived quite a while around Seoul
Do you feel like going back to Busan later Or do
you prefer it here I
want to go to Thailand
Oh right that's right really — my heart's
homeland is Thailand Yes
absolutely that's true
You told me not to bring up Thailand but I really
love Thailand so much—why
do you like Thailand so much
Because everyone has had moments when they were happy don't
they At the very least there's
at least one minute isn't there
Then I had so many happy moments in Thailand
Of course there were sesame seeds and lizards too
and lots of bugs as well
That's certainly bearable—of course now that you 've
escaped the situation you might feel that way
The memory of Ddeulgwi and Racing still
lingers What exactly is Ddeulgwi and Racing
Pumpkin seeds and racing
I guess Well racing
Are you kidding It's everywhere
It's genuinely wild and untamed—
something you rarely hear about
in Korea but it's called "deulgwi "
They're following us you know Coming
along Scared It's not a puppy is it
Even a dog charging toward you with red eyes and drooling will not scare me
Even including those things I
really liked Thailand but honestly Busan makes me feel
a bit more at ease Oh really
Yes domestically so I also asked
earlier—I'm getting older so I'd like to
go to Busan but there aren't many job opportunities there
In particular since the kind of work I doesn't
exist in Busan I live in
the Seoul metropolitan area
We've talked about dialects
quite a bit—how about we
try a dialect quiz Sure that sounds good Got one Okay
For those listening right now I 'd
like to ask one dialect quiz
Try to guess this
First one is
Ah dae
Most of them Yes
when it's bamboo it's
called "
da " Ah "da
" is used like this
What you're discussing right now means
guess the correct answer in the comments
what it signifies
option 1 was correct
option 2 was
Oh Nidandihara
dan-di Dan-di-hara
You're sure about it I think
so Are you sure
Yes yes I think
I know both
number 1 and number
2 Number 3 Number 3 is there
Oh this is
just a pi right
It's not an
apple pie is it
Yes that's right
when making that apple pie that pie
pie this pie
Yes pie
Wow that's tough isn't it
Yes and now
Four Now four is
exactly four times at most Mura
Oh this shouldn't be too hard should it
Oh really
Well that's how I see it
So there are up to four right
Yes Oh this
is the last 5 times
bonus 5 times
Thank you
Oh didn't we
already talk about this once at the start
Was it like that Be grateful
was it something similar
Oh that's similar to what we briefly discussed at the beginning
Now that I think about it
Oh I see
That makes sense
Then 1 2 3 4 5
If you know all the correct answers guess them in the comments
For those who get it right
For those who get it perfectly right
What exactly are you going to do for me
There's nothing I can offer but
if many people score 100 points
Next could Elder Do come out once more
Thank you
But this one is really impossible to guess
Especially if you manage to get this one right
Honestly he's Korean
Oh right
Either Korean or studied in Busan
Yes that's it
You really nailed it if you guessed this
This isn't easy
I'm genuinely going to applaud you
I'll applaud right away really
Please leave lots and lots of comments everyone
Oh there's something I'm curious about you know
Something you're curious about
There's a way to tell the difference between someone from Busan and
someone from Gyeongsang Province and someone who uses standard Korean
Oh I see Is
that possible
with Didi Yes I
can do that
Is it possible
You're asking if this can be read in a dialect version right
Yes well actually in standard Korean it sounds exactly the same
In Busan it's different—Lee Hyung Lee Hyung you know
Yeah yeah
Where is that thing
I'll display this on the video for you
How do you read this
If you use standard Korean it's
this first Understand I-sung understand
It's the same
But what about the Gyeongsang dialect version
The first one is "Understanding Lee Seung " The second one
well I can't even read it myself
How do you read this anyway
Eldo you're kidding right
This isn't acting—this is
real You've forgotten
everything You
understand Seung
Hey wait a second—how do I read this
Oh you're out of the competition dialect enthusiast
Yes the
next one
You're saying that right Does it sound strange
Please read the next one as well just one more time
How do you read this I don't know how do you read this
No my friends will get mad if they see this
Is that okay
Seriously Yes
I really am
Oh really If you ask
where they're from they 'd
say Seoul No I'm from Thailand Thailand
Oh Thailand yes
Yes that's my hometown
Thailand Sawasdee
I actually lied—I'm from Thailand I'm Thai
Now let's read this like this
Understanding Lee Seung
Now do you understand
Wait a moment let me try again I'll give it a shot too
Before the attempt
Understanding Lee Seung
No no unfortunately
that Thai
person is you
So dialects are
It seems to emphasize the pronunciation of "Ieung " especially
with these letters like A and E—
so it's "Ie-ryeong " "Ie-ryeong "
I don't get it I can't feel it
Let's just say Eldo's tone-deaf
I don't know why my friends never go karaoke with me anymore
Oh really It
feels harder because you're
aware of it I see
Just read it casually— isn't
there another one besides this
Do you have
that How high does it go
Yes that can be done
This is the sentence
How high does it go this one
Please read it aloud
Yes how high does
it go That 's
right
It's really hard you see—because
I'm Thai so I ended up talking
about something inappropriate
right in front of a Thai person
Oh yes it's not
intentional—this is really
how the intonation naturally comes out
How high do you
go Actually standard Korean doesn 't
have tone so it's not something you learn much
Actually dialects like Busan or Gyeongsang accent have
pitch intonation
So in reality the eyes are actually the same
But when using dialect in Busan they distinguish between
the snow falling from the sky
and
this snow
Hey it's snowing Snow
is falling something got
in your eye
Something got
in your eye It's snowing
I see it's all about the accent
Didi really knows how to use Daegu dialect
It's really accurate
My friends actually talk just like this
My friends from Daegu seem not
to have forgotten their dialect
But this is for me a occupational habit
and also because my
job involves using English extensively
It's worrying that the continuous use of both English
and standard Korean is making the Busan dialect disappear
With so many variations in Seoul mixing
standard Korean and English at the same time
it's no wonder I've forgotten the Busan
dialect — that's completely understandable
We've had all sorts of conversations today and
I'm having so much fun
It's definitely best
being close
talking with someone you know well
He suddenly draws a line
It felt like I could tell the story more naturally
I'm actually
Thai you know—yet—
I was genuinely amazed while
talking today at how skilled
Didi is with dialects—she's hidden so many dialects
You really should take a dialect workshop from you Didi-nim—it'd
be so
helpful Oh that's right
I should try making a dialect podcast someday
I don't think I'll be
able to join but I'm Thai
You're probably feeling really confused by this
You're telling me this is a Thai person
Hearing it like this you must be utterly bewildered
El Dodo is doing a podcast right now isn't he
Just call me anytime—I'd
love to be a
guest too Really Yes it
would
be an honor I'
m just a newcomer after all
Didi is a tree
Not yet I'm
still far from it
Today was so much fun
especially moved by Didi's real dialect
thank you
oh no that wasn't the intention at all
I love my
coworkers so much
when I go to work but still
When I go to the company almost everyone speaks
standard Korean so I really miss speaking in dialect
Hearing it this way makes me feel so happy So truly I'm
heading to Busan now taking
the KTX a train or even a plane
The dialect I hear the moment I arrive in Busan
totally speaks to me
you know what I mean
it's like I've come home
It's kind of similar to when I was in Thailand a while
back Which one is it A Thai
person or someone from Busan
You're dual-national aren't you
Oh I see
Having two homelands in your heart
Yaldohim
Thank you so much for coming by the podcast today
I'm truly grateful you invited me
Yes you must have been very tired coming back after working today
Thank you so much for your special appearance
Yes I really was quite exhausted
I should wrap this up quickly
But it was so much fun really truly enjoyable
Honestly I
am so happy that I'm really going to sleep right now
Go wash up
and get some
sleep right away Thank
you Please come visit
again sometime goodbye
Your conversation with Elder Do has come to an end
If anyone knows the answer to the riddle Elder Do just gave you
Please leave plenty of comments on YouTube and if you have any further
questions about dialects I'd appreciate
it if you let me know in the comments
Thanks so much for listening all the way to the end of today's podcast
I'll be back next week with a live stream and next week's podcast
Have a wonderful day and a great night everyone
