Help on translating two words
I was wondering if a Korean could take a look at this: http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/1645/koreanjd0.jpg And let me know what they roughly translate to. The translator translated both as "professor," but that seems so wrong to me. These phrases come from a manhwa and in that story, the character for the phrase on the left is a guy named Won who is a bodyguard of sorts. The phrase on the right is for some sort of general/lieutenant/colonel in an army. He commands an army. Unless you guys really do call army leaders as professors. @.@;

Re: Help on translating two words
Sorry I didn't reply sooner but we are in the midst of a move to Osan right now. At any rate, I had my husband translate for you (he is a Korean linguist) and he says:
The cartoon: first phrase is "Young Prince Won." First syllable is Won, middle two means young prince and the last syllable is an honorific marker denoting respect. Second word with the exclamation marks means fine craftsmanship or handiwork. |
