1. How to say “I Love You” in Korean

  • Korean: ์‚ฌ๋ž‘ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
  • Pronunciation: Saranghamnida.

i love you korean

You’ve probably heard of ์‚ฌ๋ž‘ํ•ด์š” (Saranghaeyo) – the casual way of saying “I love you. Above is the formal way. It’ll make you sound more of a gentleman and less of a Korean learning teenager that watched too much K-drama.

Since you’re learning Korean, you should hear the native sounds. This is where the lesson comes in.

Good phrase to use and most learners don’t learn it. They just want to know “I love you,” “I like you” and “I miss you.” You’re learning more natural ways to express yourself!

3. Will you be my Valentine?

  • ๋‚˜๋ž‘ ์‚ฌ๊ทˆ๋ž˜?
  • Narang saguillae?

kvday

Well, you’ve got to ask if you want an answer, right? Truth is, Valentine’s Day in Korea is when GIRLS ask GUYS out, or rather, give them chocolates first. But, if you’re in America or Canada and want to do it your way, this is equally useful.

4. “Happy Valentine’s Day” in Korean

  • ํ•ดํ”ผ ๋ฐœ๋ Œํƒ€์ธ
  • Haepi ballentain

kvday1

When the day comes, you’ll want to say it to your love… and give them a gift. You better like them. Because just telling someone “Happy Valentine’s Day” without any gift or sign of love is messed up and pointless.

5. “You’re so beautiful” in Korean

  • ์ •๋ง ์•„๋ฆ„๋‹ค์šฐ์„ธ์š”.

Another phrase a textbook will ever teach you. It’s not common. Most learners don’t know it. But it will make your Korean sound REAL. Are they more than a friend to you? Ooh, you should tell them that.

7. “A hundred hearts would be too few to carry all my love for you.”

  • ๋ฐฑ ๊ฐœ์˜ ์‹ฌ์žฅ๋„ ๋„ˆ๋ฅผ ํ–ฅํ•œ ๋‚ด ๋ชจ๋“  ์‚ฌ๋ž‘์„ ๋‹ด๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๋„ˆ๋ฌด ๋ชจ์ž๋ž„๊ฑฐ์•ผ.
