Koreans say 뽀뽀 to express shallow one. And say 키스 to express deeeeep one lol
Kookie the golden maknae! ( sorry to post something like this which has no connection to the lesson )
its ok we all need more army verification out here, also, i like your profile pic
I know you aren't the real jungkook. But if you are, i want to tell you that you are not good looking at all.
and the second one, the "deep kiss" sounds quite close to the English translation
I don't think there's a word for it in Korean. I just want to know how the French call it in French.
539
Just guesses -- who can do better?
"딥 키스" 752 000
"깊은 키스" 238 000 (<- un baiser profund)
"프렌치 키스" 158 000
"베로츄" 102 000 (pelo is tongue, ch(y)u kiss in Jap.)
"열정적 인 키스" 85 700 (<- un baiser passionné)
"베로츄우" 7 440
I think I will always prefer 뽀뽀, just because it isn't as close to English. I get mixed up enough with Spanish and English, that hiding from cognates is preferable.
To anyone needing help with pronunciation, this sounds like:
- Italian boppo (pretty close)
- French beauppeau (pretty close if the p is pronounced geminate)
- Japanese ぼっぼ (pretty close)
- English bohpoh (not a very accurate representation)
Additionally:
The tensed consonant letters are interesting, because these emerged from consonant clusters like ㅳ, ㅄ, and ㅴ. Many of these clusters became simplified over the centuries causing spelling confusion among those writing in native Korean, which had not been standardized in any way. By the time the Japanese had started becoming involved in shaping the Korean language, many of these tensed consonants were written with ㅅ (such as ㅺ, ㅼ, ㅽ). But the ㅅ sound had disappeared from those clusters already, leaving a tensed version of the second sounds in the clusters.
Since Korean is the only language which strictly distinguishes tensed consonants from plain and aspirated ones, a lot of research has been poured into analyzing the nature of tensed consonants. One paper (A Moraic Account of Korean Tense Consonants by Agustina Carando) argues that they are really geminates (long consonants) which can be found in a lot of languages like Italian and Japanese.
English, interestingly, also has an equivalent to tensed consonants, albeit not phonemic. The word spin has a tensed p. The word skin has a tensed k. The word sting has a tensed t. If you subtract the s sound like the Koreans did, you end up with tensed consonants.
ㅂ does not represent [b]. Instead, Korean has 3 p:
- plain p (ㅂ)
- aspirated pʰ (ㅍ)
- tensed p͈ (ㅃ)
Between vowels, the plain form is voiced to [b]. This pattern extends to all of the other stop consonants as well.
Brought over from this Duolingo forum thread: Is ㅂ a B or P?
Hmmm, this term is kinda childish... It sounds like a kid sayin "mom, come and kiss me good night!"
Yea I've heard that 뽀뽀 is like just saying "kiss" casually while 키스 is more intimate.
Anybody know why the second syllable sounds different than the first? Sounds like boo-bo (bu-bo) instead of bo-bo.
I just started wondering whether I was going crazy, or the audio was changed, as nobody mentions the unexpected pronunciation... To me it sounds like "bupo" too. Although above, there's lot's of people describing the pronounciation as "bopo" or similar.
Both of my parents are fluent in Korean, and the audio file doesn't sound correct based on what I've heard growing up...
It's closer to "bobo." Usually, a single "ㅂ" would sound like a "b" with a slight "p" sound. However, double consonants are different- They are strictly that letter. Therefore, "ㅃ" would sound strongly of a "b." (Add the "ㅗ"s which sound like an "oh" would complete it, making it pronounced as "boh-boh.") I'm not quite sure if that made sense, but I hope it did... Good luck with your learning! :) (One more thing, 보보 would still be "bobo" with a slight hint of the "p" sound. 포포 would soundly strictly of "p"s with no "b"s. Okay, I'm overcomplicating this. You get the point, I hope.)
Korean sounds change a lot depending on what other sounds they are next to. Most native Korean speakers don't notice it which makes it hard to ask how they change
Okay ima be honest but 뽀뽀 sounds like football. I know the meaning and all but I thought it was a bit funny to me.
Hello, if you are learning English and can speak Spanish,Korean,Japanese,Arabic,German,French,or Russian and can help me with it, I can help you! Just a thought.
It's just me or the audio is saying 뿌뻐? Is there something I missed in the spelling?
Is someone is a French speaker, please help me. I hear "bobo" or "be-be". What it's the closer transliterated in French?
It should be like French ‹beauppeau› (with consonant gemination between syllables). ‹bebe› would be closer to 뻐버.
뽀뽀 :/ (although you can already probably tell, I didn't quite understand your question)
to me it sounds like it has a "T" in it. like, putbo. ??? like what Pheobe_756 said.
yesssss armyyyyyyy, are you indian? or just learning hindi...i am an indian
Why does the translation sound like "ppuppu"(뿌뿌)instead of "ppoppo"(뽀뽀)?
How can i write it in english??? Its not popo,ppoppo,bobo,bbobbo then what is it?????? aaaaa!! Please help me
"po " in german means "Ass" Peau ; pot pronoced Po ) means in french skin or a glas. Its funny how the same sound can be polisemic
If you need more help, then I strongly recommend youtube videos of native speakers with subtitles.. You'll surely learn some new words and get help with pronunciation too.. Wish you happy learning! 안녕히가세요!(Bye)
not hating or anything, but jin is like a father to me, I couldn't imagine being a hard stan and having jin as my bias, just so you know, I am a hard stan, jungkook is my bias
this reminds me of one of BTS's episodes lmao, i dunno if there are any amrys here
I am learning Korean for bts and to talk to my friends in class without my teacher knowing what we are saying.
I love how people are talking about BTS (or just kpop) instead of talking about the topic. I swear no hate, im really loving it.
Jimin: Its the presence of the tounge Jungkook: Rubbing Himself Armys: ....................................................................BWAHAHAHHAHAH
Spent more than an hour on Korean and still no basics in communication...Like Hello... Goodbye... My name is...whats going on here? If I went to South Korea after 5 hours of your program it would of been better to have done nothing...Think about a person getting off a plane in South Korea and create a program that would be useful for that person
i would say too many, but thats not true, there can never ever ever BE too many armys.
I'm not a hater of Duolingo but, I don't think this question should be allowed. (It's a bit innopropriate).
This is not inappropriate. It happens in everyday life and its a normal peck which can be given by anyone. Even in children movies, people kiss. Don't understand how that would be interesting, but I get what you mean. I mean you might have not gotten it.
Hahaha you think a peck/kiss is innapropriate? Do you think parents kissing their kids is rude?
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 뽀뽀 is like a soft peck that is given to the one you adore. Okay a baby giving peck to his parents is Inappropriate!?? Educate yourself!
