Let’s study hangul!

Korean Alphabet (Hangul)

a = ㅏ            b/p = ㅂ         j = ㅈ              d = ㄷ

g/k= ㄱ        s = ㅅ             yo = ㅛ           yeo = ㅕ

ya = ㅑ           ae = ㅐ           e = ㅔ             yu =  ㅠ

u = ㅜ            m = ㅁ           n = ㄴ            ng = ㅇ

l/r = ㄹ         h = ㅎ            o =  ㅗ           eo = ㅓ

i =ㅣ               g'/k' = ㅋ       t = ㅌ             ch = ㅊ

p’ = ㅍ            eu = ㅡ

Each vowel appears at the beginning of the sentence, eg 애교 (aegyo) then added “ㅇ” in front of “ㅐ”.

We start by translating the lyrics of the song. We use the lyrics that simple, for example the lyrics of "Blind" from TRAX, part reff.

 단 한 번만           한 번만    날 찾아봐   제발 

dan han beonman han beonman nal   chajabwa   jebal

 단 한 번만  한 번만 날 찾아봐 제발

     Only once            once       me      look for    please

This means the Korean writing system is different from the English system. When it translates per word, the true meaning will be upside down.

The true meaning of the lyrics above is, "only once, only once look for me, please". But if it is translated per word, the word "me" appears first from the word "look for".

We use another example. The lyrics of "Hug me once" from Girls' Day.

한 번만 안아줘   한 번만 웃어줘              한번만 느껴줘

Hanbeonman anajwo    hanbeonman useojwo     hanbeonman neukkyeojwo

 한 번만 안아줘   한 번만 웃어줘 한번만 느껴줘

      Once          hug               once        smile          once         feel

 But if it is defined as such, his words will not be understood. then we can interpret its own that the word "hug" the precedence from "once" and added with the "me" in between "hug" and "once" to form a good sentence. "Hug me once".
