BTS Vocabulary Save Me (Jimin’s Part)

note: this may seem a little advanced if you don’t know hangul and some of the grammar points i still suck a bit at grammar so i’ll do my best since i’m not just going to write the korean word but also explain the grammar behind it.

2nd note: i will never post in romanization, i haven’t read romanization since i started learning the alphabet and romanization only hinders you plus it’s ugly to look at lol i’m weird

난: I  

Comes from the informal word for “I” in Korean combined with the subject/topic particle. So 나 + 는 = 난

숨쉬고 싶어: I want to breathe

Is derived from the verb 숨쉬다 which is “to breathe.” The stem of the verb is 숨쉬 and adding 고 싶어 to the end of the stem of a verb turns it into wanting something, so 숨쉬고 싶어 turns into I want to breathe.

이: This

Pretty self-explanatory, no grammar explanation needed.

밤이: Night

밤 means “night” and the 이 here is the subject particle

싫어: to not like

The informal conjugation of 싫다

난 숨쉬고 이 밤이 싫어: I want to breathe, I don’t like this night

이젠: now

깨고 싶어 : I want to wake up

Is derived from the verb 깨다 which is “to wake up.” Adding 고 싶어 turns the phrase into I want to wake up

꿈속이 : being in my dreams

꿈 means dream, and 속 is being in something but not physically, this is different from the Korean word 안 which also means “in" where you can use it in the same way as 속 but also it can be used if you were actually in a place like say a house, school, etc. 속 is used for saying something like in one’s heart, or mind, etc, a place where you can’t physically as a person be.

싫어: to not like

이젠 깨고 싶어 꿈속이 싫어: I want to wake up now, I don’t like being in my dreams

내: my

안에: in

See notes from 꿈속이, 에 is a location particle

갇혀서: trapped

Not going to lie, a little lost on this one so don’t really know how to explain the grammar points to this, although I believe 서 is the conjunction particle for “because, so.”

난: I

죽어있어: dead

Derives from the verb 죽다 which means “to die”

내 안에 갇혀서 난 죽어있어: I’m trapped inside of myself and I’m dead

I’m playing Twilight Princess today and Smaug decided the world needs his version of Epona’s song.

Things like that causes things like this:
