SHORTENED WORDS

Shortened

form Real word Comment

ㅇㅇ 응 Positive response, low form of 네 (yes).

ㅇㅋ Ok

~욜 ~요일

Abbreviation used in combination when expressing a particular day.

일욜 → 일요일 (Sunday)

수욜 → 수요일 (Wednesday)

ㄳ / ㄱㅅ 감사합니다 Thank you

ㄳ / ㄱㅅ 가속

Accelerate - used on some message boards to artificially increase the number

of replies or keep the thread alive. (I don't think any Korean would use ㄳ

this way.)

ㄱㅊ 괜찮아요 It's ok

ㅅㄱ 수고하세요 Keep up the good work.

ㅊㅋ 축하해요 Congratulations

ㅎㅇ 하이 Hi

ㅂㅇ 바이 Bye

방가 방가워요 Nice to meet you

ㅅㅂ 씨발 A strong korean curse word, similar to the F word.

낼 내일 Tomorrow

올만이네 오랜만이네 Long time no see.

짱나 짜증 나 Expression you use when something or someone is annoying

글쿠나/글쿤 그렇구나 (Ah) I see!

걍 그냥 Just

어케 어떻게 How

대체 도대체 ~the hell (i.e. who the hell ...)

TEXT MESSAGE STYLE

Since many young people are so used to typing text messages in a different way, typing proper

Korean can sometimes make the person sound serious or angry. Many young people use a

style that is considered more cute. However these should not be used in formal conversation,

people who you have a formal relationship with and elders (cases vary).

Style/form Comment

A/V + ㅁ/음 (instead

of A/V + (으)면)

This is not to be confused with the real grammar pattern A/V + (으)ㅁ which

turns a adjective or verb into a noun.

일찍 끝남 전화할게 → 일찍 끝나면 전화할게 (If I finish early, I'll

call you)

시간 있음 만나자 → 시간 있으면 만나자 (If you have time, let's

meet)

Simple spelling

Examples:

맞아 → 마자

싫어 → 시로

응 substitutions Using 엉, 웅, 앙, 옹, 읭, 잉 instead of 응 (low form of 'yes'). These forms are

supposed to be more 'cute.'

Adding ㅇ as the 받침 to

words.

Young people often add ㅇ as the 받침 to words at the end of sentences

without a 받침.

Examples:

오빠! → 오빵!

일찍 만나자 → 일찍 만나장

Substitutes for ~요

~여, ~염, ~엽, ~욘, ~용 , ~효 = Substitutes for ~요 at the end of sentences.

Examples:

잘 자요 → 잘 자여

~셈

Substitute for ~십시오 & ~세요.

Examples:

(to be added)

삼, ~3

Substitute for ~습니다 and 세요. 삼 is the pronunciation for the Sino Korean

number three, so 3 can be used as well.

Examples:

소주 주세요 → 소주 주삼

Using ㅅ instead of ㅆ

(as 받침)

Examples:

했어 → 햇어

먹었어 → 먹엇어

(Note: This is usually just a typo.)

Spelled as pronounced Some words are spelled the way they are commonly pronounced.

Examples:

뭐 → 머 / 모

뭐 해? → 머 해?

뭐 해? → 모 해?

줘 → 조

물 좀 줘 → 물 좀 조

봐 → 바

내일 봐 → 내일 바

되 / 돼 → 대

안 돼 → 안 대

쥐 instead of 지

Sometimes 쥐 is used instead of 지 to sound more cute.

Examples:

인사해야지 → 인사해야쥐

음 words Words like 다음, 마음 become just 담 and 맘.

~긔 instead of ~고

Sometimes ~구 is used instead of ~고 to sound more cute.

Examples:

잘 자고(잘 자구) → 잘 자긔 for Good night!

쩝 Noise used when 겸연쩍을 때

풉 Noise used for laughter, used when 어이없을 때 (especially when girls are)

Learning Korean with Social Media Posted on 13. Nov, 2012 by Linda in Grammar, Korean Language, Pronunciation, Vocabulary

Learning Korean can be very time consuming. But using social media can help you gather quick,

useful words and phrases.

If you don’t have time to read our blog, please come visit us on Facebook andTwitter. We have a

―Korean word of the day‖, which is incorporated into a useful sentence. By building your

vocabulary bank, you will start to create your own sentences—once you’ve mastered grammar

rules, etc. Here is a good Korean grammar tip to start off with:

Remember, in Korean, the sentence structure is Subject + Object + Verb. In English, it’s

Subject + Verb + Object.

To help you learn Korean through social media, I started a few Twitter conversations and

hashtags: #Korean, #KoreanWordofTheDay, and #KoreanTipOfTheDay. But, for purposes of

simplicity, I will use the hashtag, #KoreanLanguage going forward. You too can start your own

Twitter hashtag to catalog your Korean vocabulary or conversations! If you need any help along

the way, please send me a tweet! I would love to follow your language learning journey on

Twitter.

Below are a summary of tweets for building your vocabulary. They are easy to digest; useful

Korean words and phrases that you won’t necessarily find using an online translator like Google

Translate.

장난꾸러기 = brat or rascal. You can call a naughty child a 장난꾸러기.

보고 싶어! = ―I miss you!‖

추석 잘 보내세요! = Have a good Chuseok/Thanksgiving!

If someone asks you what you ate for lunch, you can say, ―나는 [name of food] 를 먹었다‖. It

means, ―I ate [name of food].‖

―뽀뽀해주세요‖ = ―Kiss please‖/‖Kiss me‖; a slang term between a bf/gf perhaps. Transliteration:

―boe boe heh joo seh yo‖.

Phrase to say to someone taking an exam or running a race, etc.–> ―행운을 빌어요, 아자아자!‖ =

―Good luck, go go!‖

불타는 금요일 means ―burning Friday‖. Koreans say this as, ―an exciting Friday‖ or ―a

drinking/eating a lot Friday‖. 불타는 금요일!

I think of you often = 나는 자주 너를 생각해; I think of you all day = 나는 하루종일 너를 생각해; I

think of you sometimes =나 는 가끔씩 너를 생각해.

A compliment girls say to each other is ―pretty sister‖ = ―예쁜 얶니‖ (to older sister) & ―예쁜동생‖

(to younger sister).

Korean quote of the day: ―가장 중요핚 것은 도전을 두려워하지 않는 것이다. 기억해라. 가장 큰

실패는 아무것도 시도하지 않는것이다.‖ (English quote from photo: pic.twitter.com/z2EVEUJg.)

How to laugh in Korean: 하하하 is masculine, 호호호 is feminine + 히히히 is neutral/cute. Literal

Korean Shortened Words: Chatting and Text Messaging in Korean By Cyjh

Social Network Map

Do Koreans Love Social Networking Sites?

Koreans are really like bookworms who are always carrying a lot of books on their bags and studying from morning until evening. Students are always busy writing diaries (though my students always complain), and memorizing a lot of vocabulary words (especially English vocabulary words).However, like other people, like you and me, they are still human (hoho!). They also love socializing and they, of course, use social networking sites.

Facebook, Cyworld, Kakaostory, Me2day, Twitter

Facebook, as we all know, is the most famous social networking site globally. Koreans do have it but not most of Koreans that I know.

Cyworld which is the Korean version for 'Facebook' and Koreans, though not all, usually have it. (Well, I don't have it so I can't explain about this further. Can you forgive me? ^^)

Kakaostory. (This one! I have this one! Hahaha!) Actually, this one is for smartphones, tablets and other devices that can use internet aside from computers, laptops, and pc notebooks.(I'm not good at technology, anyway.) Most of my students don't have Facebook but almost all of them have Kakaostory. One can post statuses, pictures and receives

comments or tags. While Facebook has Facebook Chat, Kakaostory has Kakaotalk which used as a messenger and is also used to call.

Me2day. I've included this one since I have it. However, I usually don't use it. (I can't even remember my log in id and password. hoho!) I couldn't understand even a bit Korean when I joined this site... and what the... all I could see on the homepage is Korean!!! Well, I can describe this site like facebook, too. They system is different of course. There's no instant chatbox but there's like message page, I can say. The good thing about this site is that (like Twitter) you can identify who is the real celebrity and who is not. A celebrity has something like 'verified' or ' / ' (check mark) below his/her profile name. Most Korean celebrities do have it but they just post really sometimes. :)

Last one is Twitter. Who does not know about it?? I made a twitter just to follow and mention my favorite Korean star! :) Most of Korean stars have it and they post, yeah, quite much! ^^ Anyway, I only have one student who has it and most of my students tell me "It's hard to use," when I try to ask them Hoho! Most of my Korean friends don't have it, too.

Aside from these sites, Koreans join other social networks to meet new people and explore new things. Though some of them can speak and chat in English, I think it's also better for us to know some of the words they use to express themselves online.

Kakaotalk

Shortened Korean Words/Expressions

Koreans value formality but when they get closer, words are usually shortened to sound cute especially when chatting. Let's try looking at some:

ㅇㅇ

from 응 and it simply means “yes”. For Filipinos, it is same as “Oo” (Tagalog word for „yes‟) so you can remember this quite easily.

ㄴㄴ

is “no”. ㄴ is actually the Korean letter for ‘n’ so you just need to remember that.

ㅇㅋ

just know the Korean alphabet and you’ll understand this. Anyway, it means ‘okay’ or simply ‘ok’.

ㅋ

sounds like giggling in Korean. You can put as much as you want after you made a joke or told someone a funny statement (and I am so used to it that I even make this sound after telling a joke or make a funny statement in person!!! kkk).

ㅎ

from 하하 (haha) and it means like 'haha!' :) Like ㅋ, you can put as

much as you want. The more ㅎ's, the more the person is laughing.

ㅎㅎㅎ

ㅍㅎㅎ

from 푸하하 puahaha and sounds like an evil laugh.

흐규흐규

my student said it's a crying sound but I don't usually use it

흑

sounds like sobbing when someone cries (and this is what I often use)

ㄱㄱ

from 고고 which translated as “go-go”. It’s actually from an English expression go-go sing which means „let‟s go‟ or „let‟s do it’. They also

doㄱㄱ씽 gogo shing sometimes.

ㄳ

from the word 감사합니다 or감사 which means „thank you.‟

ㄷㄷ

ㄷㄷ is short for "덜덜", which means shiver. It is used by someone who is scared or shocked. You can also use this when you are amazed at something. My student said it can also be written as

this ㄷㄷ;; or 후덜덜;

ㅊㅋ

short for 축하해요 which is translated as „Congratulations!‟

ㅜㅜ /ㅠㅠ

like T.T or T_T and means 'tears' or someone is crying/deeply sad (This is actually considered an emoticon but I categorized it in here)

방가방가 (bang-ga bang-ga)

cute way of saying 반가워요 which means “Nice to meet you.” However,

this 방가방가 is likely used between close friends who haven’t met for

some time. It can not and should not be used when talking to elders or someone you have just met.

ㅎㅇ

from 하이 (Ha-i) translated as Hi!

ㅎㄹ

means hello!

할룽

pronounced as (Hallung) and it means both hi and hello!

쀵쀵

pronounced as „pwing-pwing‟ and no direct translation. It can be used when you are asking a favor to someone and begging him/her to

grant your request. It’s like acting like a child. 쀵쀵! ^^

(When done in person, it has some actions to look and sound cute.)

Just look at the pictures below! ^_^

Pwing-Pwing from K-Pop Stars

Source: http://en.korea.com/blog/enter/k-pop/who-is-the-cu...

Well...

Just remember that you can use most of them when you are using 'banmal' or talking to someone is younger than you or your very close friends. (I guess, I need to create a hub about the formal speech level Koreans have.. hoho!)

There's a lot more but those that I discussed here are the ones I usually use. I just don't want to share something that I am not really sure of! Hoho! But anyway, don't worry! I'll keep this updated. If I learn new ones, I'll tell you! ^^ The last one for now is...

ㅂ 2

short for "바이" and it means "bye" or „g2g‟. „이‟ means 2 in Sino-Korean numbers.

And that is what I'll tell you! kekekeke! ㅂ 2!!! ^^

P.S... ^^ If you want you to add some more, feel free to do so!

The comment box is open... ㄳ (Thank you!) ~~~~

Text in Korean Like a Pro with Korean Texting

Slang! Blog, Just for Fun 12

If you’re coming to Korea, you will probably have plenty of opportunity to text in Korean. But even if

you don’t care to learn how to text in Korean, these little Korean texting slang tidbits will do wonders in

understanding your Korean friends via text. Learn these Korean texting slang, and you just might

make your Korean friends chuckle

헐 (heol)

This Korean slang term doesn’t necessarily have a meaning. It’s mostly used to express a mild shock

or surprise and at times disappointment. This is mainly used as a non-positive response.

Korean texting example #1:

A: 어디야? (Where are you?)

B: 집, 왜? (Home, why?)

A: 헐… 만나기로 했잖아 (heol, we were supposed to meet)

Korean texting example #2:

A: 머리 밀어버렸어! (I shaved my head!)

B: 헐… (heol)

Korean texting example #3:

A: 비둘기 먹었다!! (I ate pigeon!!)

B: 헐… (heol…)

Note: This texting slang is age sensitive. It is spoken (mostly by very young people), but 헐 (heol) can

be seen in Korean texts used by people up to their late 20’s.

ㅇㅇ aka 응 (eung) – Ok/yes

Many Korean texters like to use the least amount of finger movement as possible. And this is totally

true with the Korean word for yes/ok, 응 (eung). Instead of wasting precious energy by typing the

extra vowel ㅡ (eu), people just omit it totally and text ㅇㅇ.

Korean texting example #1:

A: 밥 먹었어? (Did you eat?)

B: ㅇㅇ (yes)

Korean texting example #2:

A: 빨리 와! (Hurry and come!)

B: ㅇㅇ (ok)

ㅋㅋ (kk) vs ㅎㅎ (hh) vs 푸하하 (puhaha)

The equivalent of “haha” or “hehe,” people use ㅋㅋ (kk) or ㅎㅎ (hh) to not necessarily show real

laughter but more as a text filler to make their texts in Korean friendlier or lighter. But if someone

manages to make a super hilarious joke via text, many people use 푸하하 (puhaha) to show that there

is actual laughter (or at least giggling) going on.

Korean texting example #1:

A: 학교 안 갔어 ㅎㅎ (I didn’t go to school haha)

Korean texting example #2:

A: 나랑 밥 먹을래? (Do you want to eat with me?)

B: 음.. 별로 ㅋㅋ (Umm.. not really haha)

Korean texting example #3:

A: 나 오늘 요리해줄까?? (Should I make you food today?)

B: 푸하하 됐어 (puhaha no thanks)

월욜 (weolyol) = 월요일 (weolyoil)

This is the Korean texting equivalent of shortening “Monday” to “Mon” which is always useful for all

the world’s lazy Korean texters. This can be used for any day of the week, essentially the latter part of

요일 (yoil) is shortened to 욜 (yol).

Korean texting example #1:

A: 월욜 만날까? (Should we meet mon?)

B: 목욜 보자 (Lets meet thur)

o U Speak Text? Deciphering Korean Emoticons \(^0^)/

Written by Jessica Steele on March 22, 2013 in Lifestyle

Koreans are creative with their texting and netspeak and it’s no wonder – Korea has millions of smartphone and

cell phone users and internet is readily available in even the remotest corners of the country! Emoticons and

expressions are the fun part of text and netspeak; they convey a wide range of emotions and they even cover

situations you probably haven’t thought of yet!

There honestly hundreds and hundreds of emoticons and variations thereof, so generally speaking something

upturned or bubbly indicates positive or silly feelings; dashes, dots, semi-colons, and anything down-turned

indicate negative emotions; asterisks represent blushing or cuteness, and anything repeated shows emphasis or

frequency. Let’s explore the emotions: happiness, excitement, laughter, love, sadness, anger, and a couple of

others just for fun!

Feelin’ Good

The most ubiquitous Korean emoticon is the smiley or happy face: ^^ . This little icon is designed to look like two

eyes that are squinted shut from smiling so hard. You can also use punctuation or Korean letters to create the

mouth and nose: ^_^ , ^.^ , ^o^ , ^ㅂ^, ㅇㅂㅇ, 'ㅂ' , ^u^ , h_h . An open mouth implies that you are laughing or

shouting joyfully. You can also some parentheses to make a head for your smiley face, like so (^o^).

Add a friendly feel to your note couple of these ~ . These wavy tilde lines sweeten your words and make the final

sound long and drawn out. For example, “Hi~~~” sounds super-friendly: “Hiiii”. Compare “Hello” and “Hello~”.

Doesn’t that wavy line make you feel nice? I feel better already! These marks can also place emphasis, for

instance, “Happy~~~” emphasizes your happiness.

Excitement!

If you’re feeling excited about something, you’ve just gotta throw your hands up in the air and sing: \(^0^)/. Or you

can reply to your friend’s good news with a well-placed, 우와! (oo-wa!; meaning, Wow!), 아싸! (a-ssa!; meaning,

Oh yeah! or Awesome!) or 짱! (jjang!; meaning Boss!, Super!, or Great!). Send a little encouragement their way

with a 파이팅! or 화이팅!, which sounds like “Fighting!” and means, “You can do it! Let’s go!” or “Fighting spirit!”

Or you could show them the stars in your eyes, ★.★.

Laughter

If you’re feeling extra giddy, imitate the sound of laughter with Korean characters: ㅋㅋ or 크크 (keke or keukeu,

often written kk) and ㅎㅎ (hh) mean chuckles or laughing. Write giggles with ㅋㄷㅋㄷ (kede kede), short

for 키득키득 (kideuk kideuk). Sound cute by saying 히히 (heehee) or try a Western-style 하하 (haha).

ㅍㅎㅎ or

푸하하 (puhaha) means “bwahaha” or lol.

Flirting

A few giggles just won’t cut it when you’re feeling lovey-dovey. Try a wink, ^.~ , a kiss with puckered lips, ^3^ , or

a loving stare, ♡.♡ . Show off your flirty face or indicate that you’re blushing from their compliment with one of

these, *^.^* or pay a compliment to the man in your life by calling him Superman and pointing out his bulging

muscles, ~m^0^m~ . You can even send a hug with two embracing emoticons! (>^_^)> <(^_^<).

Sadness

Unfortunately our love lives aren’t always what we want them to be or sometimes we feel a little down. ㅠㅠ and

ㅜㅜ show closed eyes with tears streaming down the face, also written as T-T or Y.Y and ;_; . If you are bawling

your eyes out, it might sound like 뉴뉴 (“nyu nyu”) or look like this: ~~~~>_<~~~~ You may even crouch down on

the ground in sobbing pain: OTL Can you see it? The O = head, T = torso and arm, and L = the bent leg!

Disappointment can expressed ㅡ_ㅡ or ㅡ.ㅡ or you can retort a snarky comment by saying, “Hey, I have lots of

friends!” (-(-(-.-)-)-) Finally, this face puts the “emo” back into emoticon – it literally means that you’re sad and

you’re hiding behind your long hair, -_ㅔ

Embarrassment, Shyness, Annoyance, and Anger

Of course, you may simply be embarrassed. Sweating is represented by semi-colons and the more you write, the

more you are sweating. If you are upset write it like so, ㅡ_ㅡ; . If you feel silly for being embarrassed, this will

convey it better, ^^;;; or you can show a giant, silly, comic-style sweat drop, ^_^U or ^.^U. Awkward shyness can

be conveyed with *–* . Depending on the context, show embarrassment, awkwardness, frustration or

speechlessness with ;;; which is similar to “whatever,” “errrrrrr” or “wtf?” Use >_< and >.< to convey anger or a

Homer Simpson-esque “D’oh!” . Use -_- or -.- show that you’re annoyed or trying to hide annoyance.

If you’re really mad though, toss that jerk a middle finger, ㅗ or even two like this, ㅗㅗ or this, ㅛ ! You can even

punch them with a tiny fist moving through the air toward them, ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ ! Just don’t tell them that I taught you,

okay? ^.~ Finally, ㅎㄷㄷ or 후덜덜 and ㄷㄷㄷ or 덜덜덜 can also indicate trembling, which could be from anger,

fear, or just the cold.

Agreement

Perhaps after that argument, you’ll come to a peaceful conclusion. Say okay with ㅇㅋ or 오케 or

오케이. Express agreement, confirmation, or understanding with 응 (eung). You could also use the

shortened ㅇㅇ, but be careful because depending on context it could sound more like a snippy “Yeah, yeah” or

“Yeah, shut up”.

Drinking

Alas, maybe that argument didn’t work out so well. It’s time to have some fun (or drown your sorrows!) with

some soju. Feeling too tipsy? Tell your friend that you’re drunk and dizzy, <<@_@>> Feeling hung-over or a little

ill? 0ㅠ0 and ㅡㅠㅡ illustrate vomiting… Ew. Are you hugging the toilet and puking in a kneeling position?

Show it like this: 요 TL I hope you never have to use this one!;;;;

Shock, Surprise, and Amazement

Show shock or surprise, o_O or o.O or BIG surprise, O.O . Indicate confusion or amazement with big or starry

eyes like this, @.@, +_+ or *.* and scratch your head to indicate thinking, (^_^)a . Express surprise or disbelief

with 헐~ (heol) which basically means, “Huh”.

Having Fun

Indicate dancing with repeated versions of these, <(^_^)>,(>^_^)> or these to show listening to music with

headphones on: d(^_^)b, o|^_^|o , o(^_^)o . Sleepiness is shown with (-.-)Zzz , ~_~ zZz , or =_= and you can

wake someone up with 긋모닝 or “Good morning”! Get it? Make the go-to pose for taking pictures by making a

“V” for “Victory” like this, v(^-^)v or like this, ^-^V . Give two thumbs up like this, b(^_^)d . Make

a mischievous cat face, =^.^= or a cute animal face, “ㅈ” , 'ㅅ', "ㅅ" . Tell someone “Call me” with Konglish,

콜미, and shorten “thanks” to “thx” with this, ㄳㄳ .

Saying Goodbye

And there you have it, your crash course in Korean text and netspeak! Have I missed anything? Which one is

your favourite? Let me know in the comments! Until next time, I’ll say goodbye. ㅂㅂ or 바이바이 orㅂ2ㅂ2.

Bye bye~~~!

Texting in Korean ^_^

Written by Suzy Chung on May 30, 2011 in Lifestyle

So you’re in Korea or you’re a hardcore K-pop fan and find yourself spending a lot of time on the Korean fan

forums or you’re planning to expand your business in Korea or just happen to be interested in Korea and the

Korean language for other cultural aspects – whatever your reasons, sooner or later you’ll be exposed to the

Korean style of texting or netspeak.

Like any other language that has adapted to the evolution of technology, Korean also found itself abundant with

new expressions to fit the mobile phone and internet age. With the appearance of smart phones, the language is

again going through different changes, but the basics haven’t changed much – at least not yet. Concise and to

the point still remains the main goal.

Texting has become a standard part of life

1. The technical

The keypads on Korean phones differ from company to company. In March of this year, the Korea

Communication Commission decided to standardize the Korean keypads of mobile phones to the Cheonjiin

(천지인) system and will implement this regulation starting from June. Smartphones are an exception and will

have multiple systems available, and owners will be able to choose the method with which they are most

comfortable.

The Cheonjiin (천지인) system

The Cheonjiin system is the simplest way of composing Korean letters. A vertical line, a horizontal line, and a dot

are all that is needed to create all the vowels in the Korean alphabet. For example:

| + · = ㅏ

· + ㅡ = ㅗ

| + · + · = ㅑ

| + · + | = ㅐ

This system makes texting extremely fast, as you don’t have to search for different letters on the keypad. For

double consonants such as “ㄲ”, you press “ㄱ” three times.

Naratgeul (EZ Hangeul) system

Another system, Naratgeul (나랏글, EZ 핚글) has the base shaped vowel and consonants with the option of

adding an additional line (bottom left, 획추가). In this system, double consonants are made by pressing the

bottom center button (쌍자음). Examples:

ㄱ + additional line = ㅋ

ㅏ + additional line = ㅑ

ㅅ + additional line + additional line = ㅊ

Unlike the Cheonjiin, this system can be a bit cumbersome to get the double and complex consonants, but some

people prefer this method.

Minimalised view of the standard Korean keyboard

Then there is the “regular” keyboard system: most non-Korean brands usually use this design, as most of the

smart phones. Nothing to decipher here, every character possible is already there.

The Korean keyboard is easy to remember: all the vowels are on the right and all the consonants are on the left.

The hard sounding consonants are on the bottom, with consonants that can be doubled on the top.

.

2. Some expressions

Everyone has their own style of speaking, and that would inevitably show up in their text. A lot of slang shows up

in text, due to its need for brevity. (I wish I could make a comprehensive list of Korean slang – I was quite

surprised at the lack of information – but that would be a whole different project and too long to list here.) Here

are some of the texts and expressions you’d see quite often:

ㅇㅋ = 오케 = 오케이 = okay

ㄱ ㅅ = 감사 = thank you

ㅂ ㅂ = 바이바이 = bye bye

ㄷㄷㄷ = 덜덜덜 = trembling

Laughing shows up a lot. The number of letters varies depending on the hilarity of the situation for all these:

ㅋㅋㅋ = kkk = kekeke (chuckling)

ㅎㅎ = hh = haha (also chuckling or laughing)

ㅍㅎㅎ = 푸하하 = bwahaha = lol

ㅋㄷㅋㄷ = 키득키득 = giggling

And some others:

알써 = 알았어 = understood, got it, I know

홧팅! = 화이팅! = 화이링! = Fighting! (Korean way of cheering/rooting)

조아 = 좋아 = good, I’d like to, I like it

짱! = Boss! Great! Super!

헐~ = huh~ = surprise, disbelief

쩝 = oh, well (nothing to add here, moving on)

3. Emoticons

I always thought it interesting how Western emoticons lie sideways, while Asian emoticons are upright. Although

there are hundreds of premade emoticons available these days, the standards are always used the most.

Most commonly used emoticons

Top row : Happy faces, the last being a “flushed with happiness” face

2nd

row : Crying faces from crying, weeping, sobbing, and hands and knees on ground with despair

3rd

row : Skeptical/awkward/I’m trying not to roll my eyes/whatever/blink, depends on context

4th

row : Embarrassed/awkward, surprised/dazed, uh, yay!

5th

row : Surprised/amazed, flabbergasted/whaaaa?, hmmmm, wink

What’s interesting is that there really isn’t a “I’m mad as heck” emoticon that’s widely used. Perhaps it’s because

most of the emoticons are on the cute side, and anger doesn’t suit cute so no one really thought to come up with

any. I personally think it’s because anger is usually dealt out in words and $@#%&+!!!! is pretty universal, and

also because we Koreans are quite the verbose bunch. Texting isn’t going to do at all. Most would just make a

call to talk instead of texting and as for the internet, it’s probably why you hear a lot about angry Korean netizens

wreaking havoc on online discussion boards.

Of course, if you truly want to text or tweet in Korean, it goes without saying that the best thing to do is to actually

start learning the language. Hope you’ll be freely texting in Korean soon. 홧팅~! ^_^

~

Grammar Style

Since many young people are so used to typing text messages in a different way, typing proper Korean can sometimes

make the person sound serious or angry. Many young people use a style that is considered more cute. However these

should not be used in formal conversation, people who you have a formal relationship with and elders (cases vary).

Females tend to use this style more than males. Males rarely try to sound cute to another male. Also some of the styles

together are often mixed together.

Style/form Example

Adding ㅇ as the final consonant (받침) - when there is no final

consonant (받침), some people add a ㅇ to make it sound more

cute. This is usually for the final word in a sentence or clause.

Usage (out of 5): ★★★★★

이쁘다 → 이쁘당

없네 → 없넹

왜? → 왱?

있는데 → 있는뎅

자야지 → 자야징

맞아요 → 맞아용

Adding ㅁ or 음 - some people add a ㅁ/음 to sound more cute.

This is usually for the final word in a sentence or clause.

Note: This is not to be confused with 음 being used to mean A/V

+ (으)면). See table below.

했어여 (originally 했어요) → 했어염

아니야 → 아니얌

괜찮다 → 괜찮암

Conjugation rule:

Add 음 if there is a final consonant (받침)

Add ㅁ if there is no final consonant (받침).

The 이다 verb for nouns becomes 임.

Usage (out of 5): ★★★★★

알았다 → 알았엄

먹었어요 → 먹었어욤

오빠야 → 오빠얌

A/V + ㅁ/음 - this is a shortened form of the grammar pattern A/V

+ (으)면.

Note: This is not to be confused with informal style to sound cute

(see table above) and also not to be confused with the real

grammar pattern A/V + (으)ㅁ which turns an adjective or verb

into a noun.

Conjugation rule:

Add 음 if there is a final consonant (받침)

Add ㅁ if there is no final consonant (받침).

Usage (out of 5): ★★★

일찍 끝남 전화할게 → 일찍 끝나면

전화할게.

(If I finish early, I'll call you)

시간 있음 만나자 → 시간 있으면

만나자.

(If you have time, let's meet)

Substitutes for the 요 ending - sometimes using the respectful

ending 요 with someone too much can make the conversation

seem less casual, especially if the people are around the same age.

So in order to make the conversation seem more casual without

reverting to 반말, people will often use other forms of 요. Some

people also use these 요 substitutes just for fun even to their close

friends.

Alternatives for 요:

여

염 (여 + ㅁ)

용 (요 + ㅇ)

욤 (요 + ㅁ)

욘 (요 + ㄴ)

효

Usage (out of 5): ★★★★★

집에 왔어용.

(집에 왔어요)

여

지금 갈게욤

(지금 갈게욤)

얽었어욘

(읽었어요)

Verb + 셈

This is used as a substitute for the grammar patterns 십시오 and

~세요. This pattern was popular around 2010, but now isn't as

widely used anymore.

(to be added)

Verb + 삼, ~3

This is used as a substitute for 세요. 삼 is the pronunciation for

the Sino Korean number three, so 3 can be used as well. This

pattern was popular around 2010, but now isn't as widely used

anymore.

소주 주세요 → 소주 주삼

Intentional misspelling

Many words are intentionally misspelled either to sound cute or out of convenience (less letters to type). Often times

the styles below will be used in combination with another.

Style Description Examples

Spelling a word by how it

sounds

Usage (out of

5): ★★★★★

Some people will spell out words based on

how they are actually pronounced. For

example the '거' in '할거야' is actually

pronounced as 꺼, so some people will spell

it out as 헐꺼야. Another common example

is the word for what (뭐) being spelled as

머.

Also out of convenience and laziness, some

people will often try to spell a word based

on how it sounds using less keystrokes.

This often means ignoring any silent

consonants (such as ㅇ when paired with a

vowel).

뭐 해? → 머 해?

갈거야 → 걸꺼야 (Spelled based

on the actual pronunciation)

갔어 → 가써

맞아 → 마자

좋아 → 조아

아니야 → 아냐

싫어 → 시러 (Note: ㅎ in ㅀ is

ignored because it makes no

sound)

했잖아 → 했자나 (Note: ㅎ in ㄶ

is ignored because it makes no

sound)

착해 → 차캐 (Note: ㄱ + ㅎ

makes an ㅋ sound)

그렇지 → 그러치

Using regular vowels in

place of double vowels

Usage (out of 5): ★★★

Double vowels such 와, 위, and 왜 get

simplified into similar sounding regular

vowels. Typically these simplifications are

made:

와 → 아

가 봐 → 가 바 (봐 gets simplified

into 바)

먹어야돼 → 먹어야대 (돼 gets

simplified into 대)

위 → 이 (except for '뭐' which is often

written as 머 and '줘' as 죠 or 조)

왜 → 애

괜찮아 → 갠찮아 (괘 becomes

simplified as 개)

귀찮아 → 기차나 (귀 becomes

simplified as 기, then the rest gets

spelled as it's pronounced cutting

down on the keystrokes)

Replacing regular vowels

with their iotized

counterparts

(야,여,유,요)

Replace regular vowels with their iotized

counterparts to sound more cute.

아 → 야

어 → 여

우 → 유

오 → 요

먹자 → 먹쟈

나중에 → 나즁에

미안 → 미얀

Changing the vowel 어 to

오

Usage (out of 5): ★★★

Changing the vowel 어 to 오 is often used

to alter the pronunciation and make it sound

a bit more cute or different.

어디야? → 오디야?

이뻐 → 이뽀

머 해? → 모 해? (Note 머 is

originally 뭐)

시러 → 시로 (Note 시러 is

originally 싫어)

Changing the vowel 어 to

으

Usage (out of 5): ★★

Changing the vowel 어 to 오 is often used

to alter the pronunciation and make it sound

a bit more cute or different.

그러게 → 그르게

Changing the vowel 으 to

우

Usage (out of 5): ★★★

Changing the vowel 으 to 우 is often used

to alter the pronunciation and make it sound

a bit more cute or different. This style

seems to be used mostly by females rather

than males.

이쁘다 → 이뿌다

그냥 → 구냥

그래 → 구래

Changing 지 to 쥐

Usage (out of 5): ★★★

Changing 지 to 쥐 is often used to alter the

pronunciation and make it sound more cute. 먹어야지 → 먹어야쥐

Using ㅅ instead of a ㅆ

badchim (받침)

Usage (out of 5): ★★

Some people will use ㅅ instead of ㅆ as

the badchim (받침) either to sound cute or

out of convenience. Some people also

accidentally use ㅅ as a typo since ㅅ and

ㅆ are on the same key.

했어 → 햇어

보내줬어 → 보내줫어

누웠어 → 누웟어

Shortened Words

Style Description Examples

ㅁ for words ending in

음

Usage (out of

5): ★★★★

For words that end in 음 and the previous

syllable has no badchim (받침), then just

insert ㅁ as the 받침. For example, 마음

ends in 음, and 마 has no 받침, so it

becomes 맘.

처음 → 첨

다음 → 담

내 마음이야 → 내 맘이야

Moving ㄹ to previous

badchim

Usage (out of 5): ★★★

그리고 → 글고

그렇군 → 글쿤

그렇구나 → 글쿠나

categories. See examples.

Korean text emoticons are usually standing upright, unlike their western counterparts which lie on their sides.

They are more complex, use special characters and, most importantly, express emotions using eyes rather than

mouth. To see this, compare

(^_^) :-)

eyes ^ :

mouth _ )

Also, Hangul letters can be used. Korean text emoticons list:
