11/28/14 The real one

While I was looking for new phrases to learn, I happened upon a very useful phrase. 그것 한국말로 뭐라고 해요(Kŭ-gŏt han-gung-mal-lo mwŏ-ra-go hae-yo), which means how do you say that in Korean? I assume it is said while pointing to the object that needs to be identified. A little snooping around in the website I linked in the last post showed me a few interesting pieces of information:
  • While normally in English one would ask "and you" after responding to someone's question in order to find out their answer, in Korean, the "you" is left out.
  • Adjectives always come before nouns in a sentence.
  • Titles like Mr. and Mrs. will always follow the person in question's name.
