TEXT MESSAGE STYLE Since many young people are so used to typing text messages in a different way, typing proper Korean can sometimes make the person sound serious or angry. Many young people use a
style that is considered more cute. However these should not be used in formal conversation, people who you have a formal relationship with and elders (cases vary).

Comment
This is not to be confused with the real grammar pattern A/V + (으)ㅁ which turns a adjective or verb into a noun. A/V + ㅁ/음 (instead of A/V of A/V + (으)면)
일찍 끝남 전화할게 → 일찍 끝나면 전화할게 (If I finish early, I'll
call you)
시간 있음 만나자 → 시간 있으면 만나자 (If you have time, let's
meet) Examples: Simple spelling
응 substitutions
맞아 → 마자
싫어 → 시로
Using 엉, 웅, 앙, 옹, 읭, 잉 instead of 응 (low form of 'yes'). T hese forms are supposed to be more 'cute.' Young people often add ㅇ as the 받침 to words at the end of sentences without a 받침.

(to be added)
Substitute for ~ 습니다 and 세요. 삼 is the pronunciation for the Sino Korean number three, number three, so 3 can be used as well.
삼, ~3

쩝
Noise used when 겸연쩍을 때

Korean Shortened Words: Chatting and Text Messaging in Korean By Cyjh
Social Network Map
Do Koreans Love Social Networking Sites? Koreans are really like bookworms who are always carrying a lot of books on their bags and studying from morning until evening. Students are always busy writing diaries (though my students always complain), and memorizing a lot of vocabulary words (especially English vocabulary words).However, like other people, like you and me, they are still human (hoho!). They also love socializing and they, of course, use social networking sites. Facebook, Cyworld, Kakaostory, Me2day, Twitter
Facebook , as we all know, is the most famous social networking site globally. Koreans do have it but not most of Koreans that I know.
Cyworld which is the Korean version for 'Facebook' and Koreans, though not all, usually have it. (Well, I don't have it so I can't explain about this further. Can you forgive me? ^^)
Kakaostory. (This one! I have this one! Hahaha!) Actually, this one is for smartphones, tablets and other devices that can use internet aside from computers, laptops, and pc notebooks.(I'm not good at technology, anyway.) Most of my students don't have Facebook but almost all of them have Kakaostory. One can post statuses, pictures and receives
comments or tags. While Facebook has Facebook Chat, Kakaostory has Kakaotalk which used as a messenger and is also used to call.
Me2day . I've included this one since I have it. However, I usually don't use it. (I can't even remember my log in id and password. hoho!) I couldn't understand even a bit Korean when I joined this site... and what the... all I could see on the homepage is Korean!!! Well, I can describe this site like facebook, too. They system is different of course. There's no instant chatbox but there's like message page, I can say. The good thing about this site is that (like Twitter) you can identify who is the real celebrity and who is not. A celebrity has something like 'verified' or ' / ' (check mark) below his/her profile name. Most Korean celebrities do have it but they just post really sometimes. :) Last one is Twitter. Who does not know about it?? I made a twitter just to follow and mention my favorite Korean star! :) Most of Korean stars have it and they post, yeah, quite much! ^^ Anyway, I only have one student who has it and most of my students tell me "It's hard to use," when I try to ask them Hoho! Most of my Korean friends don't have it, too.
Aside from these sites, Koreans join other social networks to meet new people and explore new things. Though some of them can speak and chat in English, I think it's also better for us to know some of the words they use to express themselves online.
Kakaotalk
Shortened Korean Words/Expressions
Koreans value formality but when they get closer, words are usually shortened to sound cute especially when chatting. Let's try looking at some:
from and it simply means “yes” . For Filipinos, it is same as “Oo” (Tagalog word for „yes‟) so you can remember this quite easily.
is “no” . is actually the Korean letter for ‘n’ so you just need to remember that.
just know the Korean alphabet and you’ll understand this. Anyway, it means ‘okay’ or simply ‘ok’.
sounds like giggling in Korean. You can put as much as you want after you made a joke or told someone a funny statement (and I am so used to it that I even make this sound after telling a joke or make a funny statement in person!!! kkk).
from (haha) and it means like 'haha!' :) Like , you can put as much as you want. The more 's, the more the person is laughing.
from
puahaha and sounds like an evil laugh.
my student said it's a crying sound but I don't usually use it
sounds like sobbing when someone cries (and this is what I often use)
from which translated as “go-go”. It’s actually from an English expression go-go sing which means „let‟s go‟ or „let‟s do it ’. They also do gogo shing sometimes.
from the word
or
which means „thank you.‟
is short for " " , which means shiver. It is used by someone who is scared or shocked. You can also use this when you are amazed at something. My student said it can also be written as ;; or ; this
short for
which is translated as „Congratulations!‟
/
like T.T or T_T and means 'tears' or someone is crying/deeply sad (This is actually considered an emoticon but I categorized it in here) (bang-ga bang-ga)
cute way of saying which means “Nice to meet you.” However, this is likely used between close friends who haven’t met for some time. It can not and should not be used when talking to elders or someone you have just met.
from
(Ha-i) translated as Hi!
means hello!
pronounced as (Hallung) and it means both hi and hello!
pronounced as „pwing- pwing‟ and no direct translation. It can be used when you are asking a favor to someone and begging him/her to ! ^^ grant your request. It’s like acting like a child. (When done in person, it has some actions to look and sound cute.) Just look at the pictures below! ^_^
Pwing-Pwing from K-Pop Stars Source: http://en.korea.com/blog/enter/k-pop/who-is-the-cu...
Well...
Just remember that you can use most of them when you are using 'banmal' or talking to someone is younger than you or your very close friends. (I guess, I need to create a hub about the formal speech level Koreans have.. hoho!) There's a lot more but those that I discussed here are the ones I usually use. I just don't want to share something that I am not really sure of! Hoho! But anyway, don't worry! I'll keep this updated. If I learn new ones, I'll tell you! ^^ The last one for now is...
2
short for " " and it means "bye" or „g2g‟ . „ ‟ means 2 in SinoKorean numbers.
And that is what I'll tell you! kekekeke!
2!!! ^^
P.S... ^^ If you want you to add some more, feel free to do so! The comment box is open... (Thank you!) ~~~~
Text in Korean Like a Pro with Korean Texting Slang! Blog, Just for Fun 12
If you’re coming to Korea, you will probably have plenty of opportunity to text in Korean. But even if you don’t care to learn how to text in Korean, these little Korean texting slang tidbits will do wonders in understanding your Korean friends via text. Learn these Korean texting slang, and you just might make your Korean friends chuckle
헐 (heol) This Korean slang term doesn’t necessarily have a meaning. It’s mostly used to express a mild shock or surprise and at times disappointment. This is mainly used as a non-positive response. Korean texting example #1: A: 어디야? (Where are you?) B: 집, 왜? (Home, why?) A: 헐… 만나기로 했잖아 (heol, we were supposed to meet) Korean texting example #2: A: 머리 밀어버렸어! (I shaved my head!) B: 헐… (heol) Korean texting example #3: A: 비둘기 먹었다!! (I ate pigeon!!) B: 헐… (heol…) Note: This texting slang is age sensitive. It is spoken (mostly by very young people), but 헐 (heol) can
be seen in Korean texts used by people up to their late 20’s.
ㅇㅇ aka 응 (eung) – Ok/yes Many Korean texters like to use the least amount of finger movement as possible. And this is totally true with the Korean word for yes/ok, 응 (eung). Instead of wasting precious energy by typing the extra vowel ㅡ (eu), people just omit it totally and text ㅇㅇ. Korean texting example #1: A: 밥 먹었어? (Did you eat?) B: ㅇㅇ (yes)
Korean texting example #2: A: 빨리 와! (Hurry and come!) B: ㅇㅇ (ok)
ㅋㅋ (kk) vs ㅎㅎ (hh) vs 푸하하 (puhaha) The equivalent of “haha” or “hehe,” people use ㅋㅋ (kk) or ㅎㅎ (hh) to not necessarily show real laughter but more as a text filler to make their texts in Korean friendlier or lighter. But if someone manages to make a super hilarious joke via text, many people use 푸하하 (puhaha) to show that there is actual laughter (or at least giggling) going on. Korean texting example #1: A: 학교 안 갔어 ㅎㅎ (I didn’t go to school haha) Korean texting example #2: A: 나랑 밥 먹을래? (Do you want to eat with me?) B: 음.. 별로 ㅋㅋ (Umm.. not really haha) Korean texting example #3: A: 나 오늘 요리해줄까?? (Should I make you food today?) B: 푸하하 됐어 (puhaha no thanks)
월욜 (weolyol) = 월요일 (weolyoil) This is the Korean texting equivalent of shortening “Monday” to “Mon” which is always useful for all the world’s lazy Korean texters. This can be used for any day of the week, essentially the latter part of 요일 (yoil) is shortened to 욜 (yol). Korean texting example #1: A: 월욜 만날까? (Should we meet mon?) B: 목욜 보자 (Lets meet thur) Have any more Korean texting terms to add? Feel free to add in the comment section!
o U Speak Text? Deciphering Korean Emoticons \(^0^)/ Written by Jessica Steele on March 22, 2013 in Lifestyle
Koreans are creative with their texting and netspeak and it’s no wonder – Korea has millions of smartphone and cell phone users and internet is readily available in even the remotest corners of the country! Emoticons and
expressions are the fun part of text and netspeak; they convey a wide range of emotions and they even cover situations you probably haven’t thought of yet!
There honestly hundreds and hundreds of emoticons and variations thereof, so generally speaking something upturned or bubbly indicates positive or silly feelings; dashes, dots, semi-colons, and anything down-turned indicate negative emotions; asterisks represent blushing or cuteness, and anything repeated shows emphasis or
frequency. Let’s explore the emotions: happiness, excitement, laughter, love, sadness, anger, and a couple of others just for fun!
Feelin’ Good
The most ubiquitous Korean emoticon is the smiley or happy face: ^^ . This little icon is designed to look like two eyes that are squinted shut from smiling so hard. You can also use punctuation or Korean letters to create the mouth and nose: ^_^ , ^.^ , ^o^ , ^ㅂ^, ㅇㅂㅇ, 'ㅂ' , ^u^ , h_h . An open mouth implies that you are laughing or shouting joyfully. You can also some parentheses to make a head for your smiley face, like so (^o^). Add a friendly feel to your note couple of these ~ . These wavy tilde lines sweeten your words and make the final
sound long and drawn out. For example, “Hi~~~” sounds super -friendly: “Hiiii”. Compare “Hello” and “Hello~”. Doesn’t that wavy line make you feel nice? I feel better already! These marks can also place emphasis, for instance, “Happy~~~” emphasizes your happiness.
Excitement!
If you’re feeling excited about something, you’ve just gotta throw your hands up in the air and sing: \(^0^)/. Or you can reply to your friend’s good news with a well -placed, 우와! (oo-wa!; meaning, Wow!), 아싸! (a-ssa!; meaning, Oh yeah! or Awesome!) or 짱! (jjang!; meaning Boss!, Super!, or Great!). Send a little encouragement their way with a 파이팅! or 화이팅!, which sounds like “Fighting!” and means, “You can do it! Let’s go!” or “Fighting spirit!” Or you could show them the stars in your eyes,
★.★.
Laughter
If you’re feeling extra giddy, imitate the sound of laughter with Korean characters: ㅋㅋ or 크크 (keke or keukeu,
often written kk) and ㅎㅎ (hh) mean chuckles or laughing. Write giggles with ㅋㄷㅋㄷ (kede kede), short for
키득키득 (kideuk kideuk). Sound cute by saying 히히 (heehee) or try a Western-style 하하 (haha).
ㅍㅎㅎ or 푸하하 (puhaha) means “bwahaha” or lol. Flirting
A few giggles just won’t cut it when you’re feeling lovey-dovey. Try a wink, ^.~ , a kiss with pu ckered lips, ^3^ , or a loving stare, ♡.♡ . Show off your flirty face or indicate that you’re blushing from their compliment with one of these, *^.^* or pay a compliment to the man in your life by calling him Superman and pointing out his bulging muscles, ~m^0^m~ . You can even send a hug with two embracing emoticons! (>^_^)> <(^_^<).
Sadness
Unfortunately our love lives aren’t always what we want them to be or sometimes we feel a l ittle down. ㅠㅠ and ㅜㅜ show closed eyes with tears streaming down the face, als o written as T-T or Y.Y and ;_; . If you are b awling your eyes out, it might sound like 뉴뉴 (“nyu nyu”) or look like this: ~~~~>_< ~~~~ You may even crouch down on the ground in sobbing pain: OTL
Can you see it? The O = head, T = torso and arm, and L = the bent leg!
Disappointment can expressed ㅡ _ ㅡ or ㅡ.ㅡ or you can retort a snarky comment by saying, “Hey, I have lots of friends!” (-(-(-.-)-)-) Finally, this face puts the “emo” back into emoticon – it literally means that you’re sad and
you’re hiding behind your long hair, -_ ㅔ Embarrassment, Shyness, Annoyance, and Anger Of course, you may simply be embarrassed. Sweating is repres ented by semi-colons and the more you write, the more you are sweating. If you are upset write it like so, ㅡ _ ㅡ; . If you feel silly for being embarrassed, this will convey it better, ^^;;; or you can show a giant, silly, comic-style s weat drop, ^_^U or ^.^U. Awkward shyness can be conveyed with * –* . Depending on the context, show embarrassment, awkwardness, frustration or
speechlessness with ;;; which is similar to “whatever,” “errrrrrr” or “wtf?” Use >_< and >.< to convey anger or a Homer Simpson-esque “D’oh!” . Use -_- or -.- show that you’re annoyed or trying to hide annoyance.
If you’re really mad though, toss that jerk a middle finger, ㅗ or even two like this, ㅗㅗ or this, ㅛ ! You can even punch them with a tiny fist moving through the air toward them, ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ ! Just don’t tell them that I taught you, okay? ^.~ Finally, ㅎㄷㄷ or 후덜덜 and ㄷㄷㄷ or 덜덜덜 can also indicate trembling, which could be from anger, fear, or just the cold.
Agreement
Perhaps after that argument, you’ll come to a peaceful conclusion. Say okay with ㅇㅋ or 오케 or 오케이. Express agreement, confirmation, or understanding with 응 (eung). You could also use the shortened ㅇㅇ, but be careful because depending on context it could sound more like a snippy “Yeah, yeah” or
“Yeah, shut up”.
Drinking
Alas, maybe that argument didn’t work out so well. It’s time to have some fun (or drown your sorrows!) with some soju. Feeling too tipsy? Tell your friend that you’re drunk and dizzy, <<@_@>> Feeling hung -over or a little ill? 0ㅠ0 and ㅡㅠㅡ illustrate vomiting… Ew. Are you hugging the toilet and puking in a kneeling position? Show it like this: 요 TL I hope you never have to use this one!;;;; Shock, Surprise, and Amazement Show shock or surprise, o_O or o.O or BIG surprise, O.O . Indicate confusion or amazement with big or starry eyes like this, @.@, +_+ or *.* and scratch your head to indicate thinking, (^_^)a . Express surprise or disbelief with 헐~ (heol) which basically means, “Huh”.
Having Fun Indicate dancing with repeated versions of these, <(^_^)>,(>^_^)> or these to show listening to music with headphones on: d(^_^)b, o|^_^|o , o(^_^)o . Sleepiness is shown with (-.-)Zzz , ~_~ zZz , or =_= and you can wake someone up with 긋모닝 or “Good morning”! Get it? Make the go-to pose for taking pictures by making a
“V” for “Victory” like this, v(^-^)v or like this, ^-^V . Give two thumbs up like this, b(^_^)d . Make a mischievous cat face, =^.^= or a cute animal face, “ ㅈ” , 'ㅅ', "ㅅ" . Tell someone “Call me” with Konglish, 콜미, and shorten “thanks” to “thx” with this, ㄳㄳ . Saying Goodbye And there you have it, your crash course in Korean text and netspeak! Have I missed anything? Which one is your favourite? Let me know in the comments! Until next time, I’ll say goodbye. ㅂㅂ or 바이바이 orㅂ2ㅂ2. Bye bye~~~!
Texting in Korean ^_^ Written by Suzy Chung on May 30, 2011 in Lifestyle
So you’re in Korea or you’re a hardcore K -pop fan and find yourself spending a lot of time on the Korean fan
forums or you’re planning to expand your business in Korea or j ust happen to be interested in Korea and the Korean language for other cultural aspects – whatever your reasons, sooner or later you’ll be exposed to the Korean style of texting or netspeak.
Like any other language that has adapted to the evolution of technology, Korean also found itself abundant with new expressions to fit the mobile phone and internet age. With the appearance of smart phones, the language is
again going through different changes, but the basics haven’t changed much – at least not yet. Concise and to the point still remains the main goal.
Texting has become a standard part of life
1. The technical The keypads on Korean phones differ from company to company. In March of this year, the Korea Communication Commission decided to standardize the Korean keypads of mobile phones to the Cheonjiin (천지인) system and will implement this regulation starting from June. Smartphones are an exception and will have multiple systems available, and owners will be able to choose the method with which they are most comfortable.
The Cheonjiin ( 천지인 ) system
The Cheonjiin system is the simplest way of composing Korean letters. A vertical l ine, a horizontal line, and a dot are all that is needed to create all the vowels in the Korean alphabet. For example:
|+·=ㅏ
· + ㅡ = ㅗ
|+·+·=ㅑ
|+·+|=ㅐ
This system makes texting extremely fast, as you don’t have to search for different letters on the keypad. For double consonants such as “ㄲ”, you press “ㄱ” three times.
Naratgeul (EZ Hangeul) system
Another system, Naratgeul (나랏글, EZ 핚글) has the base shaped vowel and consonants with the option of adding an additional line (bottom left, 획추가). In this system, double consonants are made by pressing the bottom center button (쌍자음). Examples: ㄱ + additional line = ㅋ
ㅏ + additional line = ㅑ
ㅅ + additional line + additional line = ㅊ
Unlike the Cheonjiin, this system can be a bit c umbersome to get the double and complex con sonants, but some people prefer this method.
Minimalised view of the standard Korean keyboard
Then there is the “regular” keyboard system: most non -Korean brands usually use this design, as most of the smart phones. Nothing to decipher here, every character possible is already there.
The Korean keyboard is easy to remember: all the vowels are on the right and all the consonants are on the left. The hard sounding consonants are on the bottom, with consonants that can be doubled on the top.
.
2. Some expressions Everyone has their own style of speaking, and that would inevitably show up i n their text. A lot of slang shows up in text, due to its need for brevity. (I wish I could make a comprehensive list of Korean slang – I was quite surprised at the lack of information – but that would be a whole different project and too long to list here.) Here
are some of the texts and expressions you’d see quite often:
ㅇㅋ = 오케 = 오케이 = okay ㄱ ㅅ = 감사 = thank you ㅂ ㅂ = 바이바이 = bye bye ㄷㄷㄷ = 덜덜덜 = trembling Laughing shows up a lot. The number of letters varies depending on the hilarity of the situation for all these:
ㅋㅋㅋ = kkk = kekeke (chuckling) ㅎㅎ = hh = haha (also chuckling or laughing) ㅍㅎㅎ = 푸하하 = bwahaha = lol ㅋㄷㅋㄷ = 키득키득 = giggling And some others:
알써 = 알았어 = understood, got it, I know 홧팅! = 화이팅! = 화이링! = Fighting! (Korean way of cheering/rooting) 조아 = 좋아 = good, I’d like to, I like it
짱! = Boss! Great! Super! 헐~ = huh~ = surprise, disbelief 쩝 = oh, well (nothing to add here, moving on) 안습 = 안구에 습기 = “moisture in my eye” = feeling sad for someone, oh noes! ~여 = alternative to finishing the sentence with ~요, meant to sound cute 뭥미? = mistype of 뭐임? = WTF? 뷁 = bwerk (amazing how similar this sounds in English and Korean) 솔까말 = 솔직히 까놓고 말하면 = to be quite frank 지못미 = 지켜주지 못해서 미안해 = sorry for not being able to protect you 냉무 = 내용 無 = no content (used when commenting on discussion boards without new content) .
3. Emoticons I always thought it interesting how Western emoticons lie sideways, while Asian emoticons are upright. Although there are hundreds of premade emoticons available these days, the standards are always used th e most.
Most commonly used emoticons
Top row : Happy faces, the last being a “flushed with happiness” face
nd
2 row : Crying faces from crying, weeping, sobbing, and hands and knees on ground with despair rd
3 row : Skeptical/awkward/I’m trying not to roll my eyes/whatever/blink, depends on context th

What’s interesting is that there really isn’t a “I’m mad as heck” emoticon that’s widely used. Perhaps it’s because most of the emoticons are on the cute side, and anger doesn’t suit cute so no one really thoug ht to come up with any. I personally think it’s because anger is usually dealt out in words and $@#%&+!!!! is pretty universal, and also because we Koreans are quite the verbose bunch. Texting is n’t going to do at all. Most would j ust make a call to talk instead of texting and as for the internet, it’s probably why you hear a lot about angry Korean netizens wreaking havoc on online discussion boards.
Of course, if you truly want to text or tweet in Korean, it goes without saying that the best thing to do is to actually
start learning the language. Hope you’ll be freely texting in Korean soon. 홧팅~! ^_^

Grammar Style Since many young people are so used to typing text messages in a different wa y, typing proper Korean can so metimes make the person sound serious or angry. Many young people use a style that is considered more cute. However these should not be used in formal conversation, people who you have a formal relationship with and elders (cases vary). Females tend to use this st yle more than males. Males rarely try to s ound cute to another male. Also some of the styles together are often mixed together.
Style/form
Example
이쁘다 → 이쁘당 Adding as the final consonant ( ) - when there is no final consonant (받침), some people add a ㅇ to make it sound more cute. This is usually for the final word in a sentence or clause.
Usage (out of 5):
★★★★★
Adding or - some people add a ㅁ/음 to sound more cute. This is usually for the final word in a sentence or clause.
Note: This is not to be confused with 음 being used to mean A/V
+ (으)면). See table below.
없네 → 없넹
왜? → 왱?
있는데 → 있는뎅
자야지 → 자야징
맞아요 → 맞아용
했어여 (originally 했어요) → 했어염
아니야 → 아니얌
괜찮다 → 괜찮암
Conjugation rule:
Add 음 if there is a final consonant ( 받침)
Add ㅁ if there is no final consonant ( 받침).
The 이다 verb for nouns becomes 임.
Usage (out of 5): A/V + / + (으)면.
알았다 → 알았엄
먹었어요 → 먹었어욤
오빠야 → 오빠얌
일찍 끝남 전화할게 → 일찍 끝나면
★★★★★
- this is a shortened form of the grammar pattern A/V
Note: This is not to be confused with informal style to sound cute
전화할게.
(see table above) and also not to be confused with the real grammar pattern A/V + (으)ㅁ which turns an adjective or verb
(If I finish early, I'll call you)
into a noun. Conjugation rule:
시간 있음 만나자 → 시간 있으면 만나자.
Add 음 if there is a final consonant ( 받침)
Add ㅁ if there is no final consonant ( 받침).
Usage (out of 5):
(If you have time, let's meet)
★★★
Substitutes for the ending - sometimes using the respectful ending 요 with someone too much can make the conversation seem less casual, especially if the people are around the same age. So in order to make the conversation seem more casual without reverting to 반말, people will often use other forms of 요. Some people also use these 요 substitutes just for fun even to their close friends.
집에 왔어용.
(집에 왔어요)
Alternatives for
여
염 (여 + ㅁ)
용 (요 + ㅇ)
욤 (요 + ㅁ)
욘 (요 + ㄴ)

(to be added)
소주 주세요 → 소주 주삼
widely used anymore. Verb + 삼, ~3 This is used as a substitute for 세요. 삼 is the pronunciation for the Sino Korean number three, so 3 can be used as well. This pattern was popular around 2010, but now isn't as widely used anymore.

Korean text emoticons are usually standing upright, unlike their western counterparts which lie on their sides. They are more complex, use special characters and, most importantly, express e motions using eyes rather than mouth. To see this, compare (^_^)

Now you know how to talk to the person you love.. Now for words for someone youdon’t like as much! Korean Swear Words
Pardon my Korean! Learn Korean Swear Words and Profanity I was a little hesitant to write this article because me people might be offended and such.. but actually it was one of the most requested things I receive in my email. It comes as no surprise really, since I’m sure most most of us would admit that we always seek out the profanity when learning a new language. Learning Korean swear words for a variety of reasons. Most people tend to swear when they are stressed or angry. If you have a relative that knows a second language then get upset and start talking in their other language? People also tend to swear when they are hurt in some way. Studies have shown that swearing does have pain reducing element.
Remember there is a time and place for using theses Korean Swear Words. So only use these Korean Swear words when it’s appropriate.
