《Korean Language 101》Age
Advertisement
Age = 살
살 also means flesh but-
몇 살이에요? = myeot sarieyo? = what's your age?
to ask for someone's age are
나이 어떻게 뒵니까?
나이 어떻게 뒤세요?
나이 무엇입니까?
나이 뭐에요?
나이 뭐야?
(나이 also means age)
To answer that, or when introducing yourself, you say either 저 ___ 살이에요 or ___ 살이에요.
(Native koreans tend to skip speaking the word 저, 나, 너 a lot)
Coming to some super complicated but unavoidable ....
Generally counting, we say 하나 둘 셋 like 1 2 3. But in a sentence, some of these have to be changed. Those are:
◎하나 -> 한
◎둘 -> 두
◎셋 -> 세
◎넷 -> 네
So instead of saying 스물셋 살이에요, we say 스물세 살이에요.
◎스물 -> 스무
This rule on 스물 is only implemented when saying 스물 in a sentence and only when saying 스물 alone.
저 스무 살이에요 = 저 20살이에요
It won't be 스무한 사리에요. It'd be 스물한 사리에요. The same goes for 21-29.
Gladly only five numbers are changed:
1) 한
2) 두
3) 세
4) 네
5) 스무
These principles work on both counters and age. We will discuss counters soon. It'll start sticking with you. I know its hardddddd. I still haven't gotten the hang of it. But I bet time will make it better :))
저 서른다섯 살이에요.
When typing/writing, koreans write it like 저 35살이에요. But speaking it out loud is in native korean system.
....I was dreading this chapter......anyways- its done!

War Queen

So she would be useful, she would be obedient, and she would survive. Under the control of the new rulers of her world and species, as a pawn in a conflict she could scarce comprehend, she would survive. And in this cosmic war of forces beyond her understanding, when all that is known is stripped away, survival is not just everything; it is all there is left.[Winner during the Royal Road Writathon Challenge Fall 2021](( Chapters are 5,500 words on average.

When faced with a choice to become your character, what would you do? There is an increasing amount of sexual content in later chapters, most of the girl x girl type. This is a work of fiction any relation to the real world is purely bad luck on my part, or yours. I really do not want to give any more story line away. This is my 1st attempt at a long story, and it is meant to be in a more Novel format than most works on this site. Please do not redisitribute or sell. If you want to translate it contact me before hand(not seeking for it to be done). *** Future contents plans to include adult sexual situations, girl x girl, violence, blood and violence, and morally challenging situations. Perverted things, and lots of mis-adventures *** Sorry for any mental damage done by the grammar in the early chapters. Or formating issues, this site takes getting used to. All chapters could use additional editing and some refinment. Average chapter length is 20 pages or more. Thanks for reading as always! Anyone interested in gifting me a Cover art is welcome! If not I will have to create a new one Later. No problems there, thanks!! This concludes the test of the public broadcast system, please return to your waifu and internet porn.
