Sure on this shining night, I weep for wonder...



I'd just like to know how many words everyone has absolutely committed to memory? Let's write all the words we remember by heart, and that way we'll pool a list of words that we can all learn from.

Of course, this doesn't apply if you're already fluent. XD

I'll start~!

Annyonghaseyo - greetings.
Nabi - butterfly.
Parangsaek - blue.
Na - I.
Miyanhe - sorry.
Noksaek - green.
Ye - Yes.
Anio - no.
Apa - pain.
Namu - tree.
Hayansaek - white.
Ibnida - it is.
Shimseonghan - sacred.
Myun - noodle.
Yeomyeong - dawn/twilight/aurora.
Nancho - orchid.
Sarang - love.
Hwa - flower.
Gyeongjikmul - silk.
Chingu - friend.
Goong - palace.
Ggeum - dream.
Mir - dragon (I'm not 100% sure if that's accurate).
Chima - skirt.
Hanbok - clothing of the people.
Nun - snow.
San - mountain.
Haonyeonghada! - Welcome!
Sam - three.

I have an extensive vocabulary list, but those are the words I can think of off the top of my head. How about you?

If you're fluent, then share your favorite words or something. XD



...wand'ring far alone, of shadows on the stars.

*not to be mean*
I'm pretty sure "Yes" is Nae (네)

Anyway X3. I'm always saying
Annyeong (Hello, impolitely of course) 안녕
And Gong (Ball) 공 - is a pretty fun word X3
