Do You Need Korean Help?

[Guest KIM_SAYS:]

^

Well, translating it directly, you'd be saying "thanks for giving me money"

hahahaha...it sounds a bit unco eh?

Since its Christmas also and the new year is coming up...u can say something like:

즐거운 성탄절과 새해를 맞이하세요. 용돈 주셔서 너무 감사합니다!

(Jewl-Go-Ooon Song-Tan-Jol-gwa Sae-hae-Reul Maji-Haseo. Yong-Don Joo-Sheo-Soh NohMoo gamsah hapnida)

^First sentence is "I hope you spend a joyful Christmas and a happy new year".

Then it sez "Thanks for giving me the Pocket money.

"Yong Dohn" is a better word to use than just "Dohn" as u had it

if it seems to convoluted for u...just add the "Yong" in front of "Dohn" in the sentence u had

Ah, gotcha. Thanks so much.

LOL haha

이모/고모/왜승모 ; 아이구, 우리긔여운 (이름)이 돈 조와?

당연한거져.

[Guest bsu]

Hey cool! Soompi has a korean help thread. Can I get translation for this please?

얼마만큼이나 지나야 느낄까 둘만의 시간 소중함

셀 수 없을거야 아주 작은 기억까지도

따사로운 봄이 눈부신 여름이 외로운 가을 겨울도 나 약속할게요

그대의 곁에 잠들래요

Hey cool! Soompi has a korean help thread. Can I get translation for this please?

얼마만큼이나 지나야 느낄까 둘만의 시간 소중함

셀 수 없을거야 아주 작은 기억까지도

따사로운 봄이 눈부신 여름이 외로운 가을 겨울도 나 약속할게요

그대의 곁에 잠들래요

I'm not sure if it's right but.. (my attempt)

How long does it have to pass to feel the importance of two people's time

얼마만큼이나 지나야 느낄까 둘만의 시간 소중함

Even the little memory can't be counted

셀 수 없을거야 아주 작은 기억까지도

I'll promise you a warm spring, blinding/dazzling summer, even a lonely fall winter

따사로운 봄이 눈부신 여름이 외로운 가을 겨울도 나 약속할게요

I want to fall asleep next to you

그대의 곁에 잠들래요

[Guest sweet_rain]

^ sounds alright. But it seems too literal. I'll attempt to make an "implied" translation taking into account the differences in expressions between English and Korean.

my attempt (i need the practice myself ):

I wonder how much time must pass before I realise how special the time you and I have together is.

얼마만큼이나 지나야 느낄까 둘만의 시간 소중함

It is something that cannot be counted. Even the smallest little memories.

셀 수 없을거야 아주 작은 기억까지도

A warm spring, a blindingly bright summer and even the lonely Autumn&Winter I shall promise you.

따사로운 봄이 눈부신 여름이 외로운 가을 겨울도 나 약속할게요

I wish to fall asleep by his side.

그대의 곁에 잠들래요

^ as u can see, there are some differences in the definitions. If you're seeking a more literal translations, take the one by inocupcake. My attempt is the more errr....poetic version, coz i took into account the poetic-ness of the original Korean text, lol

[Guest chyea dann]

hey~ i was wondering if somebody could translate these notes into korean for me? thank you :]

noona,

hi, how are you these days? i'm sorry i haven't really talked to you -__- i think the weather makes me want to be alone. anyways, i hope everything is okay and that you're healthy... try not to get stress from college work and have a good winter break ^^

sojin,

i just want to say 'thank you' for being my friend. you always cheer me up and i feel comfortable talking to you about anything. if you ever need somebody to talk to, i'm here. i haven't been really talking to you lately, sorry about that -__-

that's about it, thank youu

[Guest inocupcake]

Haha you're totally right sweet rain.

Maybe you'll help me correct this one too?

*Attempts again*

누나,

안녕, 요즘에 어떻게 지내? 누나하고 말을 많이 안해서 미않해 -___- 날씨때문에 나 혼자 있고 싶은것같아. 어쨌든, 모두가 좋고 누나가 건강한다는 것을 희망한다... 대학교일때문에 긴장하지 않으려고 노려해 그리고 좋은 겨울방학 ^^

소진,

너가 내친구라서 고맙다는 말만 하고싶어. 너는 나를 항상 위로해줘 그리고 요즘에 너한테 말을많이 않했으니가 미않하다 -__-

My korean isnt really that brilliant either but i try:

inocupcake has made an excellent translation (despite minor spelling mistakes). I'll write a more formal version to the noona...coz inocupcake has made the informal version..since we're not sure whether u want it formal or informal, we might as well give you both

A MORE FORMAL VERSION:

누나(에게), <--add that last bit if its gonna be a letter

안녕하세요, 누나. 요즘 어떻게 지내고있는지 굼굼하네요. 제가 열락을 많이 못해서 죄송합니다 -__-. 왠지 나도모르게 날씨 때문에 제가 혼자서 있기 원한것 같네요. 아무튼 누나는 무사하시고 건강하기를 빕니다...공부 때문에 너무 긴장 하지 마시고 즐거운 겨울 방학을 맞이시세요 ^^

MY VERSION OF SOJIN:

서진 or 소진?-->Sojin(에게),

나의 친구가 되줘서 너무 고맙다. 네 덕분에 내가 다시 우술수있고 너와 얘기할때 긴장이 풀어지고 좋아. 네가 너를 이해해 주고 같이 얘기 할수있는 사람이 필요할때, 아무 걱정 없이 나에게 다가와. 나도 너에게 열락을 않해서 미안하다 -__-

그럼 난 여기까지...고맙다.

=====================================================================

a slightly repaired version of inocupcake's:

누나,

안녕 누나! 요즘 어떻게 지내는지 굼굼했었어. 누나에게 열락을 많이 못해서 미안해 -___- 왠지 나도모르게 날씨때문에 내가 혼자 있고 싶었나봐. 아무튼, 모든일이 잘해결 되고 누나가 건강하기를 원해. 대학교일때문에 긴장 너무많이 하지 말고 좋은 겨울방학을 맞이해 ^^

^ this is very very casual speech and can be considered rude if u talk to someone older than u like this. Only use this informal version if this Sojin person is VERY familiar with this Noona (eg..they are siblings). Otherwise, it will be safer to use the formal version i wrote.

소진,

네가 내친구라서 고맙다는 말을 하고싶었어. 너는 나를 항상 위로해주고 같이 얘기할수있어서 참 친근하 게 느껴져서 너무 좋아. 너도 위로가 필요할때 내가 네곁에 있어줄께. 나도 요즘 너에게 말을많이 못했으니 미않하다 -__-

Hmmm, inocupcake..if i guess correctly, you have lived overseas away from Korea for a long time?Its the same with me I guess we just gotta work at it and hopefully we'll improve

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 즐거운 성탄절을 보내세요!

BONUS:

Korean is hard~~~

한국어는 너무 어려워요!

(Han-Gook-Oh-Neun Noh-Moo Oh-Reu-Woh-Yoh!)

^its slightly difficult coz some of those expressions may not exist in the Korean language, but i'll try.

"너는 나의 모든것이야..::;;.,.너는 나의 삶을 유지하는 호흡이야.,.너는 영원히 나의 모든것이니.,.::;;[ 너를 잊으려고 노력을 하는데..왜 못할까? T-T -]"
