왜냐하면 이름이 크레용으니까요: If (you) ask why, because it's name is "Crayon"
Seriously, GD. How can you sound so cute? The tone of his voice in the One of a Kind Collection Crayon Making is not his usual in this scene. He spoke slowly and sounded like he's super tired and stoned. And somehow, his "왜냐하면" has been repeating itself in my head. I just typed whatever I heard, which is possible only because he was speaking slowly. Even then, I don't even know if I got the Korean right. I need both Korean and English subs yo!
Only vocab we'll be learning today, is 이름: name. Because I'm not sure if the rest of the Korean words are right. XD
Poor GD. Wearing a bear mascot costume, thinking that fans would guess that it's him and be excited. In the end, he was greatly disappointed to see that they will only be excited for "G-Dragon" and not a random bear mascot, even if he happens to be talented. It's like branding and advertising, isn't it? :/ Somehow, I feel really sad when I watch him say this part. Was he upset?
관심도 없다고 난 재주 많은 곰인데: (they're) not interested when I'm the talented bear
Let's break it down.
관심: interest, concern, (sounds like 关心 in Chinese, but I think it means more interest than concern)
없다: to lack, to not exist
난: 나는, I (with topic marking particle)
재주: ability, tricks, talent
많: many
곰: bear
이다: to be
다고: seems to be used for indirect/reported speech. Not very sure.
인데 carries meaning depending on the situation. And I'm not qualified to talk about it yet, since I've only just discovered it, always hearing it 근데 and others... TTMIK has a lesson on it though, in level 3.
Chanced upon this radio cover of Big Bang singing Ne-Yo's So Sick. Seungri's missing though, due to exams or something. This was back in 2008. Sorry GD, he hated his nose, and this video shows its old imperfection. hahaha :x But I love his singing here!
I'm sharing the lyrics here, cos T.O.P does a rap in Korean, which, of course, isn't in the original song.
[Taeyang]
Mmm mmm yeah
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Oh yeah
Gotta change my answering machine
Now that I'm alone
'Cuz right now it says that we
Can't come to the phone
And I know it makes no sense
'Cuz you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore
[(Daesung) Taeyang]
(It's ridiculous) It's been months and for some reason I just
(Can't get over us) And I'm stronger than this
(Enough is enough) No more walkin' round with my head down
I'm so over being blue cryin' over you
[Daesung]
And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio
[G-Dragon]
Gotta fix that calender I have
That's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you
There's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you
And your memory
And how every song reminds me
Of what used to be
[Daesung]
That's the reason I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio
[(G-Dragon?) Taeyang]
(Leave me alone) Leave me alone
(Stupid love songs) Don't make me think about her smile
The (G-Dragon?) part, I suspect, might have been Seungri's part; which might explain why he forgot to sing the first line. Seungri might have had other parts too, but I've no idea which, since he didn't sing.
Gosh, I don't know whether I'm stupid or what. But I never did realise that TTMIK had free pdf workbooks available on their website. There I was, constantly wishing I had some practice questions to do, so that I can test my understanding, and practise writing Korean sentences.
Until one day (today), I decided to search for illegal copies of their printed workbooks (which I knew they had for sale in their online stores), and google pointed me to TTMIK's website. I was feeling incredulous... cos at first, I was determined to avoid clicking on TTMIK's link as I was sure it would lead me to a page which asks me to buy their printed books. Feeling dumb now. But one day, when I'm feeling rich, I'll be sure to donate back to TTMIK.
The workbook pdf comes in tens, level 1 1-10, 11-20, 20-25, etc. I'm going to do them all in one shot after finishing each level. Like it's an exam for each level. Just finished level 1's workbook. Probably got around 80% correct? Mostly had problems with the spelling. Like 아니 (o) vs 안이 (x), meaning no. Also, I hadn't fully memorised 20-90 in native Korean. >.< Kinda lazy there.
