Extra words in Korean
What do the extra words in Korean that go after peoples' names mean? Are they case endings like in Russian or something?
Aunyoung Tex ö ya - Hello Tex
Tex sooga goyaung ee jo oua hea - Tex likes cats.
Vs.
Nega goyaung ee tSho oua hea. - I like cats.
Also, what does chalseyo mean?
Anywhere I could look it up?
Aunyoung Tex ö ya = How are you Tex?
(don't know what the "ö ya" betokens)
Tex sooga goyaung ee jo oua hea - Tex likes cats.
(should read "Tex-u-ga geoyangi joh-a-hae" = Tex likes cats (lit Tex cats likes)
Nega goyaung ee tSho oua hea. - I like cats.
(should be: Naega geoyangi jo-a-hae)
"chal seyo" = I am fine/I am doing well
...did y'a miss me?
<<Aunyoung Tex ö ya = How are you Tex? >>
ah, Anyeong Tex = Hi Tex!/Hello Tex!
still no clue on the "ö ya"...
My wrength:
Properly it should be 'Annyeong' or 'An nyeong' not Anyeong
full of wrength today!
<<that go after peoples' names mean?>>
Sorry Tex, I didn't answer your fraign:
In the byspels above, the words coming after your name are verbs--In Korean the sentence structure follows SUBJECT then OBJECT then VERB, so in the first sentence, the "ya" in "ö ya" is a form of the verb "to be" and in this fall would mean "is/are" (still drawing a blank on the ö though...:\ )
In Tex-u-ga and Nae-ga, that "ga" is a Subject marker (like -(n)un and -i in some other words). Your name gets an additional -u- added in because in Korean we can't say "Tex-ga"--that's "neomu neomu himdun!!" (i.e. "that's TOO hard!! :), so we have to make it Tex-u-ga
