Thanks a lot for the great help, I think my Korean's getting better every day
I though Pictures is in the plural, but seems it's single based on your post, what is the plural version of it if possible.
too, is there any another version of sex other than 섹스, is it the only way to say sex in Korean?
again, thanks very much for your help.

Asian languages like korean dont have plural as such, generally words are accompanied by adjective like ma ni - many or chu kum - a little.
ie ma ni mek ju - a lot of beer

yes there is another word for sex, I cant think of it right now but its slang and you wouldnt use it in front of too many korean people

American is pronounced "me gook" and English is "young oh", I think.

Love how the words used for fashion and sex are English words.

Yes but there is too many new Konglish words coming up now on DongAh and OnStyle fashion channels. I'm afraid that Koreans will think that's real English and start using it.

For more Konglish have a look here.

hahaha..yes you're right.:D

for examples,

office worker --> salleryman[konglish]

Go Korea!

> Fighting Korea[Konglish] but sounds like whiting Korea.

Fitness,Gym---->Health-jang[konglish] but sounds like helse jang.

coffee break---> coffee time[konglish] but sounds like copy time.

etc....

It's very hard to make F,V,Z,th,ph sounds to Korean.
They make F sounds like P or H.
And make V sounds like very strong sound of B.

My Irish family calls me "쥐얀" sounds like I'm the mouse killer in Korean.:D

Thanks for the nice test.:)

It will be good for me to improve my English too.:D

oh..it's Daebak!!(대박)

대박 is one of the Korean internet terms

and it means, originally, a big gourd which was believed that it brings a good Luck with a lot of Money. This meaning is from Korean traditional Juvenile,"Heungbojon".

So Koreans usually say,"Wish you get a good Luck
and make a lot of money this year" for well-wishing remarks in the new year.

But this meaning is bit different on internet.

It's Daebak!!(대박이야!!) means in slang

it's great!!
Oh boy!!
I can't believe it!!
It's gorgeous!!
What a surprise!! etc....

Is anyone knows more Korean internet terms?:D
