🇰🇷 Korean Lesson #5: 1월, 2월, 3월, 4월, 5월!!

오늘은 몇일이에요?

안녕하세요 여러분 👋

We're thrilled you enjoyed our recent newsletter covering the drama "Queen of Tears" (눈물의 여왕)! It's heartwarming to see that most of you were loving the storyline. What were your thoughts on the finale? 👀 (we loved it!!)

➡︎ One of our readers who hasn't seen it yet shared: “I’m watching my demon with my mom once I finish that I will like to watch Queen of Tears 😊”.
We hope you will love it 😍

Given the interest in "My Demon," would you like us to feature a special edition newsletter dedicated to it? Let us know your thoughts!

We've finally arrived in May, and summer is gradually approaching. 5월에 드디어 도착했어요! Do you know how to say the date in Korean? 🧐

The months follow a simple pattern using the word "월" (wol) for the month along with the sino-number corresponding to the month.

Here are the months of the year in Korean, along with their pronunciation:

For example:

Today's date is May 2nd, 2024.
오늘은 2024년 5월 2일입니다.
 
👉 오늘 (oneul): means "today"
👉 은 (eun): This is a subject marker indicating that "today" is the topic of the sentence.
👉 2024년 : 년 (nyeon) means "year," and "2024" is read as "이천 이십 사" (ee-cheon ee-ship-sa).
👉 5월 (oh-wol): May.
👉 2일 (i-il): This means "2nd." 일 (il) means "day," and 2 is read as "이" (i).
👉 입니다 (ibnida): This is a formal ending in Korean used to declare or state something.
