《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!

Aoi
The sea of stars. The momentaneous lifeforms that flicker far away. Our futures — a sea brimming with light. Each and every shimmer in the starry canvas serves as one’s infinite opportunities in the vast sea of the future. On a once unremarkable day, a mysterious girl displayed powers beyond the capabilities of humans in front of many onlookers who knew only the ordinary: Powers of Ice creation. Riki, a normal young man in the midst of the crowd, was astonished to see such a spectacle, but this astonishment quickly transforms into dismay. From the appearance of calm, yet scorching blue flames, he realized the sole reason she was using powers in the first place was to only protect herself from two who have possession of powers akin to hers. And in failing to do so, the last thing Riki saw was the angst look in her eyes before she disappeared from his sight. That was the only one remaining memory he can recall. Thrusted into an organization filled with supernatural stargazers, Riki's only goal is to retake everything back: a journey to take back both his past and his future. Through this journey, it will mean to discover the underlying truths of the world. Any illustrations I use for covers and chapters are illustrations I have drawn myself unless otherwise stated.

My Roleplay Server
Given the chance to reincarnate in a world with two wishes, who would say no? Especially when you could live a life you've always wanted. This is supposed to be a relaxed story about a man fulfilling the dreams he couldn't in his first life. There will still be drama and more adult things, but overall it will be pretty chill. The action of the story will come in when he finishes making the server. As of right now, 4/6/2022, it's looking like this is going to be a slower-paced novel. Hopefully, in the future, I can get the pacing downright. This is my first released story, so feel free to give me all your constructive criticism. I do plan on finishing this story. Please point out any mistakes you see. This novel is also on Webnovel and Scribble Hub.
