3. You look great!
멋지시네요!
Meotji-shineyo!
Compliments are important to know. You use them in English. You WILL need them for Korean… if you want to use the language to it’s FULL potential. So it’s only natural to include this here.
Cute and romantic at the same time. Great to know for couples, relationships and overall hitting on girls. Who doesn’t want to be the person of your dreams!? Well, in a non-creepy way, of course.

And this is the version for the opposite gender. Any guy would enjoy hearing this! The more ego boosting compliments, the better!
8. Don’t leave
떠나지마
Ddeo na ji ma
Aw. This is cute. And actually a bit sad, depending on the context.
9. I’m confused
헷갈려요
Hed kal lyeo yo
This phrase proves to be very useful around Koreans when they start talking really quickly and you’re just like -jaw drop- So perhaps if you tell them you’re confused, they might take pity on you and speak more slowly. And it’s cute because you’re confused!
10. Sorry, I’m not sure.
Jal mo leu ged sseo yo
잘 모르겠어요
