Here’s another comic to practice reading including a couple onomatopoeia (의성어 mimicking sound) or mimetic words (의태어 mimicking movement or feelings etc).*우울* - *depressed*     우울하다 means to be depressed, and 우울 can be translated to gloom or depression, but this isn’t exactly depression symptoms. 우울 can show up as a mimetic word for a depressed state.*눈치* senses something     There is no good translation for 눈치 in my opinion. 눈치 is broken down into 눈 eye and 치 light, but it’s used in a bunch of different ways when it comes to analysing social situations. In this case, 눈치 눈치, signifies that the two boys are realizing that the blond boy is really sad. They caught on to the signs of his sadness. 너무 신경쓰지 마. Don’t worry too much.     신경 means nerves. And 신경쓰다 would mean to use your nerves or use energy thinking or caring about something. So in this case, the boy is telling his friend to not worry or waste his nerves on whatever he is thinking about.어…세상에 여자는 많잖아. Yeah…There are a lot of girls in the world, you know.어떡하지..? What should we do..?     어떡하지 is the contracted form of 어떻게 하지? It’s a great phrase and used all the time when you’re worrying or thinking about what you should do. 어떻게 하지? Literally asks “how should I do?” But, in English, we tend to say “what should I do?” So, it’s a little counter intuitive to native English speakers. Either way, you’ll see this expression all the time. And it can be asked to someone else or use rhetorically. *쿵* Thump     쿵 is an onomatopoeia for the sound of something hitting something else. Typically it’s a rather heavy object hitting the floor, or in this case a head hitting a desk. I hope this gives you some reading practice and good expressions!Follow me for more Korean tips, lessons and practice. I’ll be working harder to post more from now on!  -- source link
