You dont listen to enough kpop. Lots of songs called my man, my boy, my girl, my woman or in the lyrics
Duolingo already teaching how to keep other people's paws of your woman. Real smooth, owl
Seriously guys... All of you look me in the eye and say you've never seen anyone call their significant other my man/woman. We are learning Korean here not debating the morals of an owl.

I tried translating it as "my wife," thinking it was analogous to "ma femme" or "mi mujer", but dL didn't take it, insisting it must be "my woman." Hmm....
제 is the contraction of 저의.
You usually speak the first but usually write the second.
Probably the same thing that happend to the english "I'm" and "I am".
why is 저기에 "over there" and not just "there"? If you write "there" it counts it wrong for some reason
저기 means "over there", 거기 means "there". It's in the tips in notes for the demonstratives section
Chill out everyone; there is nothing wrong with saying "my girlfriend" or "my boyfriend" and how is this any different? If this said "my man" I'm sure y'all's reactions would have been very different.
I don't find it offensive as long as the guy doesn't find it offensive being called "my man".
I think ‘woman’ in this case is referring to ‘wife’. They just put ‘woman’ so it matches the word 여자 better.
I'll ignore the weird implication just because I want to know the difference between 저의 and 제. For example, this weird phrase 저의 여자는 and 제 이름.... 예요. Thanks.
There's not an actual difference, 저의 contracted becomes 제 ^^ you could say 제 여자 in this sentence as you could say 저의 이름.. both are just as formal, but as I learned it 저의 is most used written as 제 would be more used in speaking, at least that's what has been taught to me ~ I hope it helps, if someone reads this and find this wrong please tell us to be corrected, thanks
lol, i knew checking the discussion for this one would make me chuckle. ;)
