learn korean with bts :>
SO since we’re all stuck together in quarantine let’s practise some korean with bts because why not :‘) stay save ✨💜
our boi jimin posted this weverse update today and I noticed that the translation was kinda weird so I wanted to check that BUT I might get some stuff wrong since I’m still learning so if you want to add something feel free to do it (that’s why I wrote we’re practicing together hehe)
그런데 여러분 있잖아요*
by the way everybody (already) knows
* ~잖아 or ~잖아요 is added to verbs, adjectives or 이다 to express that you’re mentioning sth that the other person probably already knows or is aware of
우리 같이 보고 즐겁고** 행복하잖아요
we/us together fun to see being happy
*보다 = to see 즐겁다 = happy, pleasant i don’t rlly know about the grammar behind the -고 addition
그거 다 건강하고 아프지 않아야 가능한거에요***
that (abstract thing) all sturdy not being sick a possible thing
*** i really don’t know about this because i thought it must be 가능한 거에요 *help pls*
알죠****?
you know?
****by adding -죠 or -지 to the end of a sentence you‘re turning a statement into a question.
알다 = to know -> 알아요 = you know -> 알죠? -> you know ?
so this first paragraph would translate (according to me) to:
Btw everyone knows seeing us/each other is a nice thing. But we have to be sturdy so staying healthy will be a possible thing. You know/ you understand?
항상 건강하고 우리 모두 행복했으면* 좋겠어요 진심으로
always being healthy us all happy if/when will be happy/ would make (us) happy sincerity/heartily/whole hearted
*-(으)면 translates to when/if, in this case it’s in the past tense, to assume/ suppose what would have happened if sth. had happened. the next sentence usually would include the answer with would have.
to sum it up: if everybody would be healthy, it would make me sincerely happy
누구나 힘들고 그런 시간들이 있을 것이고
whoever/everyone difficult then periods (of time) being a thing
우리 모두가 여러분에게** 이해가 될 순 없겠지만***
us/we all everybody might not be understandable
**에게 has many meanings but when added to a substantive, it either indicates the person who is instructed or made to do something or indicates the person that will be influenced by the action
*** i don’t understand this. It’s a mix of many different translators and my desperation
조금이라도 위로와 조금의 행복이 되었으면 좋겠습니다.
a bit of comfort and a bit of happiness if (i) became will be happy
so far: everyone has a difficult time right now, and it may be not understandable (or: „maybe we don’t understand it all“?) If I can become a bit of comfort and bring some happiness (to you), it would make me happy.
언제나 감사하고 조만간 브이앱으로* 찾아뵐게요**
always thankful soon through v-app I’ll find you
*-(으)로 has many meanings in English, depending on the word but mostly used as „by/through“
** i know 찾다 means „to look for“ and 게요 is the future form but I don’t know what -뵐- is
항상 감사해요.
sincerely thank you
so everything together would translate to:
Btw everyone knows seeing us/each other is a nice thing. But we have to be sturdy so staying healthy will be a possible thing. You know/ you understand? If everybody would be healthy, it would make me sincerely happy. Everyone has a difficult time right now, and it may be not understandable (or: „maybe we don’t understand it all“?) If I can become a bit of comfort and bring some happiness (to you), it would make me happy. I’m always thankful and will find you soon over the v-app. sincerely thank you.
so what did I learn today?
1. Jimin is a pure soul
2. I rlly have to check all the different meanings of -고 again
I hope this was a bit helpful and we‘ll get trough these hard times together and will stay healthy 💜💫
