I will use this account to help explain Korean (and sometimes Japanese) sentences relating to Seokmin by breaking them down into individual parts.

I will not be translating important articles or anything that needs nuance as I’m not a native speaker. Please see info below ->

someone asked me and these are some things you can reply to Seokmin on weverse with if you’re ever stuck!!

[learn korean with seokmin @dktranslations]

If you ever google compliments some formal ones will tell you to use the word 당신 for the word “you”. Don’t. It’s because Korean doesn’t really have a word for “you” for formal speech. Use the idols name instead!!

@crowzev ah shit thank you!!!

[learn korean with seokmin @dktranslations]

if it would be helpful I can start tweeting small korean lessons when I have time just to encourage or help learning (like I’ll explain a tense/some grammar with an example)

[learn korean with seokmin @dktranslations]

오늘 - today
하루 - day
도 - too/as well
즐거 - from the word enjoyable/pleasant/cheerful etc
~웠어요 - past tense

다들 - everyone
잘 - well
자 - from to sleep
야대 - actually supposed to be 야돼 which is english equivalent of you must/you have to/you should

Everyone sleep well~~♥️

[learn korean with seokmin @dktranslations]

be careful when using ㄹ게요!! it can only be used in the first person (talking about yourself) when talking to someone else and it can’t be used as a question or if you’re guessing (I might do my best won’t make sense with ㄹ게요)

[learn korean with seokmin @dktranslations]

최선 - best
을 - object marking particle

다하 - from the verb to complete/finish
ㄹ게요 - future tense that shows you will do something in the future

really this would be I will finish it the best but it doesn’t translate perfectly to english so “I’ll do my best” is better

[🐶⚔️☀️ @dokyeomloops]

I’ll do my best♥️

@howoozae it really depends on what you’re referring to! 식사 is the word for meal but 밥 also means meal/food/rice. if you’re referring to more of a side dish you use 반찬. if you say breakfast you say 아침 식사!! it’s all really just contextual

[learn korean with seokmin @dktranslations]

역시 - as expected
울 - abbreviated form of 우리 which is our so he’s talking about his family
엄마 - mom
최고 - the best ever
로 - particle
맛있는 - delicious
밥 - can mean rice but here means meal
이야 - emphasis

[🐶⚔️☀️ @dokyeomloops]

It’s the most delicious meal ever😋

@kidultsi I don’t have time to do it for all the members because I work a lot so I can only do it for Seokmin for now 😭 plus I’m used to the way he speaks/the slang he uses (he shortens words a lot or uses cute versions of words) so I feel most comfortable translating for him

[learn korean with seokmin @dktranslations]

과자 - snacks (candy, cookies, chips etc)
먹자 - let’s eat (막 from the verb to eat, 자 let’s)

[🐶⚔️☀️ @dokyeomloops]
