《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!

Tell my story? Now that's an idea. I am called many things: the Lord of Souls, the Shadow of Death, the Undying Dreamer... I sired the Awakened of old. I have turned beggars into kings and kings into legends. I have argued the nature of man with the fathers of philosophy and spoken of gratitude with the first Sage. Since the dawn of my existence, I have walked the path of power with regard for little else. During the Great Trial, humanity's greatest hour of need, I dragged them from the jaws of their self-inflicted ruin for the sake of my beloved. Even now, few know the truth of it all. I am not a saint or a god. I am a watcher, a judge, a tormentor, and a killer. I am the Father. *** This is a cultivation story about an inhuman entity on its journey of power and self-discovery. The Father's story starts in ancient history and ends in a distant future but the majority of will take place in a near-future post-apocalypse setting.

They'll come fully online at the start of the 3rd arc or 4.1 (story isn't there yet).
