No! (Shi-doh)
I hear "Shi-doh" a lot with the younger generation of Koreans. From what i gather it means "No!". "Ah-Ni-o" means "no" in a polite way and "Shi-doh" is a stronger way to say no.

I think you are referring to "Shi-Reo" or "Shee-Ruh", correct? It just sounds like "She-Doh" because the "R" character in Hangul has the rattling tongue thing going on.
I think "Shi-DOH" means "test" or "test run"...gotta check that one out. Anyway, it's a very informal way to say "no". It should be used among good friends. It's like saying, "What?! Hell no!!" or "No way!" :) |

I'll go with -dislike or -don't want. Also- no way! I hesitate to leave off the yo, some folks offend easily, even friends. Politeness is very important, nearly so as keeping face.
싫 어 = Shi-Ruh or 싫 어 요 = Shi-Ruh Yo (corrected) Last edited by Mr. Joe : 12-03-2005 at 05:57 AM. Reason: critical Hangul mis-spelling corrected |

Sorry, Mr. Joe...I'm not trying to be a smart-@ss, but the word you have typed there in Hangul means to "load" as in "load the cargo on to a truck". You're looking for: 싫어요 And I definitely agree with your meaning "dislike" & "don't want". This form of "no" is pretty strong, guys. If you ask a girl out and she responds to you with this word...MAN! You just got shot down pretty hard!  |

OK- you passed another test! No, I'm kidding ,too! A perfect example of not looking in the Concise Dictionary, (Which I left in the office.) I asked a Korean standing nearby if it was right, before I typed it; and, as you might suspect, she said "YES"! I'm going back to correct it now, so if anyone wonders what you are talking about, I did type it WRONG. But being a native born American, I won't commit suicide from losing face, I'll just chalk it up to not being thorough. I must refer back to my post on what YES means. Keep up the good work. No money, you are right; but in Korea, and you will agree, reputation is worth more than money!
