이 비디어가 재미 있어요~~
thanks for your video~
감사합니다~
Thank you so much! I have been hearing these expressions in many songs and on TV shows, so this lesson was very helpful!
If any of you are interested, you should listen to Big Bang’s song “Ain’t no fun”, because it uses these expressions a lot! kekeke here are some of the lyrics (the 요 at the end has been omitted, I guess that’s because it’s a song and thus less formal?)
너란아이 재미없어 솔직히 지쳤어 사실 나 말하자면 예전부터 질렸어
통화를 할 때도 같이 밥을 먹을 때도 문제는 너의 태도 대화라는걸 잊었어
나는 노력했어 둘 사이를 위해서 하지만 사람 마음이 애쓴다고 되겠어
네 손을 잡아도 너의 얼굴을 봐도 미안해 이제 내겐 아무런 느낌이 없어
I know you know why 답이 없어 너와 난 어느새 남 이였어
I know you know 왜 넌 말이 없어 oh 처음부터 우린 아니었어
재미없어 재미없어 재미없어 재미없어
넌 끝까지 답답해서
재미없어 재미없어 재미없어 재미없어
뭘 망설이고 서 있어 baby
