Konglish one is made-up word , which consists of " Korean " and " English (Engl. F. English ) " composed. It denotes the modified use of English in a Korean context. This includes words that are considered English but are in fact not English words and only sound English, as well as use of English according to Korean grammar.
Pseudo-anglicisms
Examples of pseudo-Anglicisms , apparently original English words, are:
- handeupon ( kor. 핸드폰 from hand and phone for mobile phone )
- seu-kin-seu-ku-beo ( 스킨 스쿠버 skin scuba for scuba diving )
- sya-peu (샤프 from sharp , a mechanical pen)
- won-rum (원룸 from One room , an Apartment / Garçonnière )
- won-syat (원샷 one shot , a saying that asks someone else to drink a glass to ex.)
- paiting or hwaiting (파이팅, 화이팅) from fighting , a Korean cheer that can be translated as "victory" or "forward", but also serves to encourage or encourage (like "fight", "go on")
- a-pa-teu (아파트 from apartment , not only denotes the room, but the entire apartment block.)
Anglicisms
Original Anglicisms can also take on other meanings such as chanseu ( Korean 찬스 chance for opportunity, chance), which is also used in the context of sales promotions.
In contrast, pure Anglicisms such as homreon ( Kor. 홈런 homerun for the homerun ) are not called Konglish.
grammar
English spoken by native Korean speakers using Korean grammar also belongs to Conglic.
Example:
- "Su-ji and me talk or see comic book all night if meet. Because he is short and plump and face is round, potato doll is same. If see, to hug. " (From KONGLISH ROCKS! Scott Soper)
