Welcome to Lesson 11 of Level 6 of Talk To Me In Korean! Just like there are different ways of expression “I mean…” in English, there are just as many ways in Korean. However, in this lesson, 경은 and 현우 will be breaking down the 4 most common ways to say “I mean…” in Korean.
You can view a free PDF for this lesson here, or if you want to study with our TalkToMeInKorean textbooks, you can get them here. And after you learn the basics, try writing your own Korean sentences and get corrections from native speakers through HaruKorean, our 1:1 correction service.

That’s true. This lesson is really useful : )

안녕하세요!
티티믹 들어 온지 너무 오래 됐네요.
하고 싶었는데… 바빠서 레슨 못 듣는다는 말이에요. ㅠㅠ
그동안 잘들 지내셨죠?
앞으로는 자주 오고 코멘트 많이 남길게요!
수고하세요. ^^
So…. For “정지훈, 그러니까, ‘비’ 좋아해요” could you also say “정지훈, 아니, 비 좋아해요”? To say that you were going to call him Jeong Jihun, but then changed your mind??
그게 말이죠…
“빨리하란말이에요” 다고 들었어요. Is 란 here the contracted form of 라는? and in this case 빨리 하다 is a verb, why can’t we use 빨리하단말이에요? or can we?
well, the difference is that this 라는 (란) indicates the imperative form of the verb, meaning that this sentence would be translated as “(I mean) do it quickly!” or “You mean, I should do it quickly?” depending on the context. You could say 빨리 한다는 말이에요 but it would have a different meaning… Hope you understood I’m not very good at explaining stuff.. ^^;
I love this lesson!
I think iIll use this more often~
그러니까 바빠서 못 올거라는 말이야? 일 밖에 전혀 안해서 항상 시간이
