There are a couple of ways to say "Best friend" in Korean. But here is a slang concept just like "Day One Friend" Among native Koreans, we often say "불알친구" (Bural-chingu). 불알 (Bural) literally means testicle...^^😂 It comes from the idea of childhood friends who grew up together from when they were small kids running around naked. So it means a childhood best friend you’ve known for as long as you can remember. But childhood doesn't always mean when you were like kids...  However! Things to keep in mind: Mainly used among guys: It is normally used by men, but very close female friends can sometimes use it casually too. Casual only: Do NOT use this in formal or official settings (It can be vulgar/inappropriate in polite company ) Other Ways to Say "Best Friend" or "Close Friend" in Korean 베프 (Be-peu) : Short for "Best Friend" (베스트 프렌드). Very common and safe for all ages/genders 찐친 (Jjin-chin) : Slang for "Real/True Fri...

You probably thought like, "Why does it sound like "ㄴ" when the final consonant is "ㅆ"? Example Seoul was the capital city of Korea but – 서울은 한국 수도 였는데 Do you pronounce "yeot nun de"? Actually, that's not how we pronounce. We prefer smooth, natural transitions when speaking So in order to connect the part "yeot non", we take "N" sound from "nun" and put it instead of "t" of "yeot" so you can smoothly move on to the letter "nun" so it's like "yeon nun de" Clarifying, Written: 였는데 Actual Pronunciation: [연는데 / yeon-nun-de] Exercise for you! 버렸는데 --> 마셨는데 --> 봤는데 --> 있는데 --> 썼는데 --> 갔는데 --> If you need 1 : 1 online tongue training,  https://preply.in/DOOHWI6EN6108563102?ts=17924803

How would you say "I am a partner" (formal basis) Beginners would say, 나는 파트너예요 or 저는 파트너예요 But natives way is 전 파트너에요 or 저 파트너에요 We don't literally say "예요", we say "에요" for soft speaking. But don't get this wrong, "예요[for vowel]" is exact version And  전 -> 저는 short version Mostly we skip particle letters just for saying faster This is also what you know about already, right? But I recommend to take all particle letters first and skip it later when your level goes up since not every single time we skip them in the conversation! Exercise I am Korean – 저 한국 사람이에요 I am not a student - 저 학생 아니에요 I am a CEO of this company – 저 이 회사 사장이에요 They are my employees – 그 사람들 제 직원이에요 Actually I’m American – 사실 저 미국 사람이에요 This is my car – [이건/이거] 제 차에요 Actually this is my mom’s car – 사실 이거 제 엄마 차에요 If you need 1 : 1 online tongue training,  1:1 online traning
