《A Silent Lover》26. Korean Dictionary
Advertisement
Jaehyun: In this specific case, Jae means wealthy and Hyun means person of virtue. I made this up for my own purposes so I'm not sure if anyone has this name in reality with those particular meanings. Anyways I liked it lol.
Eomma: It's sometimes spelled differently through Romanization, but Eomma means mom in a casual sense
Bitna: Bitna or Binna means light and it comes from Bitnaneun which means to shine. Fans of Shinee might catch the reference but here I'm using it to refer back to Starlights and how Leo might see a woman and reference his fans... Sorry I'm thinking too much lol
Unnie: Literally means older sister but used by younger women towards older women. It's still respectful but is usually used when two parties are close.
-yah/-ah: a suffix added to someone's name that shows affection
Hyung: Like Unnie but said by boys to other older males. In Leo's case, he and N are the same age but N's birthday is before his, so technically he is older. In real life they don't seem to use it much, so I might not either... we'll see lol(update I didn't)
Noona: means older sister; said by younger boys to older girls
Tteokboki: popular Korean snack made from rice cake, fish cake, and sweet red chili sauce
Ahjussi: term for a middle-aged man; although Taekwoon isn't middle aged, he's much older than Jaehyun, and can still be used since he's a stranger
Ne: Yes
Samchon: means uncle, but can be used to address an older male who isn't family either, a little more familiar than Ahjussi
Kunde: a shortened form of keureonde, meaning but/ and
Bureopta: means "I'm jealous", but in a playful way
Joah: means great or good
Pororo: A Korean cartoon character
Sem: short for seonsaengnim, meaning teacher and usually shortened by the students

Chogiyo: It literally means "that place" or "over there", and is close to the English phrase "Excuse me" in this context.
Mianheyo: I'm sorry, not too formal but still polite
Eottae: literally means "how is it?"
Changpeiyo: I'm embarrassed/ It's embarrassing
Heol: Literally, "what the-"

Miyeoguk: Traditional Korean seaweed soup that's made on birthdays
Bungeoppang: A type of pastry, a fish shaped bread filled with cream or red bean sauce

Anieyo: Slightly different from Aniyo, it means "Not at all" mostly used interchangeably or when someone thanks you
Kumane: Stop it
Gyeolhun haejullae?: Will you marry me/ Literally, "Want to get married?" This is probably not what a person would say if they were asking someone to marry them, they would be more formal, but I think this is more natural and based off of Leo's personality, he would be more likely to be informal.
Yoboseyo: Hello, but used only when answering the telephone
Joahae: Do you like it? Informal tense
Sajangnim: CEO of a company
Neohuideul: You guys. Informal tense
