Thanks Mike, that's good, but just one question. Is telephone really
Chon hwa gee or just Chon hwa? I thought it was just Chon hwa. I know that the verb "to call" is Chon hwa ha da. |

Table: also depends on what type of table. "Sahng" is (but not always; generally) one of those floor tables you see Koreans eat on while sitting on the floor. Sometimes it's even called a "Bahp Sahng", which literally means "eating table". A dining table (one with chairs), I believe, is called a "Shik Tahk". Chair: tricky pronounciation. Say the word "bookie" minus the b & k sound from it... "oo-ie". Then add the "Jah" at the end. Sofa...well, it's a Japanese way of pronouncing the English word "sofa". I'd say it sounds more like "Show-pah" or more like "Shyoh-Pah" The fridge...neng-jahng-GOH Pretty tough stuff...but fun! ![]() |
