I realize this is not the place to discuss KPop, but I have no other contact with people who like KPop. So, ARMYs, and anyone who speaks Chinese (or Japanese?), I need your thoughts please!
On the Love Yourself album titles, there are Chinese characters. I was curious and don't know Chinese very well so had to use the very unreliable Google Translate. The " 起" from Wonder seems to mean begin, start, or from. The "承" from Her seems to mean by, bear, or support. The " 結" from Answer seems to mean knot, bound, bear, or from. The "轉" from Tear seems to mean turn, or shift. By the way, is tear like crying- tear or ripping- tear? Or both?
I had seen theories that "boy meets what" meant W-Wonder H-Her A-Answer T-Tear So I tried putting the characters in that order to see if it meant anything because, honestly, byt themselves they didn't seem to mean much. Also I was curious and bored and had better things to do with my life but didn't want to do them. By arranging the characters like this: 起 承 結 轉 I got from Google Translate "Carry forward." (Anyone love Carry On?) I tried Japanese, but it gave me "starting and rolling" and a buch of sounds. In case BTS had said anything about this, I searched "Love yourself carry forward." I found a page of quotes. The first one on it was this: “Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart Who knows, maybe it's a coincidence, but I seems to have a lot of the ideas BTS is conveying. Could they be getting inspiration from this?
So, I have questions. 1) Are these translations corrcet? 2) Are there other meanings to the characters? 3) Am I insane? 4) What are your thoughts?
Again, sorry this is long and not Korean- Learning related, but this is the only place I have any contact with ARMYs and I really want to know.
yess im Chinese and I study Japanese but I understand nothing. haha I love armys
yes. tho im not chinese or japanese but those are the meanings of the albums. and tear is both crying and ripping. bts rm said that they poured both these meanings in the ly tear album esp the last track 'outro:tear' in which when rm says the line "ur my tear" it means the crying tear while when suga says the line it represents the ripping/tearing apart tear. and yes those are the meanings for those are the typical main points of a story line. the start, the support or illusionary happy time, the twist and then acceptance or moral of the story. tho in this line up answer ,which is the moral part, comes before tear so idk abt that. this is how the ly series and its albums are placed too. wonder(euphoria) being prologue, her being when the boy finds the girl and falls for her thinking its true love and starts changing to cater to her needs, then tear when he realizes it was fake and fnally answer: loving urself comes before loving others. as for the quote u mentioned idk but it could be very likely. and i think the "love urself carry forward" is the right translation
Have you thought about making a twitter account? You'll find a lot of fans who love discussing this things. My @ is @erd_henney just in case you wanna follow me.
I can relate to the no contact with other ARMY part... (except here) also, the answer to your third question is.. Yeah, your insanely incredible... It would have took me hours to put that theory together.. And yeah, I think your theory is correct :) whispers보라해 :)
saramdeul maybe? (I'm using a computer right now, so sorry for not using hangeul)
Strangely enough, I've "discovered" that it also accepts "people" as the answer.
I have noticed that in many other languages, they do not require you to specify whether or not there are multiple. For them, context gives away what you mean. 사람 could mean people or person depending on what else is being said in the sentence.
So, when i hover over 사람, it says that it could also be man, but when I typed "child, man', it counted it as wrong, so...
I think maybe that means like, "man" as in the "human" sense, when you hover over it I mean, but it won't take it as an answer. Idk. Duolingo is odd sometimes. :P
1) I hovered over it and it only said person, a person, and the person. Maybe the fixed it.
2) I love your username!
Sometimes is hard to unterstand what the voice says because some words i dont really know. You must learn with more apps for understanding the word's
I feel like this really describes the members of BTS.......... Anyone with me?
I put "child , person" but it marked it wrong. Why? 사람 Can mean both "people" and "person", no?
사람 can be person or people. In Korean you don't need to specify. If you are speaking formally, however, you would use the 들 particle........... So yeah.... You and Duolingo are both correct.........
If you don't notice the comma between the words, then I don't know if you can properly read.
people that are commenting this low key sound like some alien simps. it be like "yes i am human"
Me parece curioso como RM juega con estas palabras que suenan casi igual 사랑, 사람
It sounds weird but i got it right . Child person ive only heard this app say it :_D
