hello everyone!
Did you learn "Korean proverbs" while studying Korean? I live in Korea and I study proverbs that are often used in my daily life, but it's really not easy! Today, we will learn about Korean proverbs that Koreans often use. Everyone, take this opportunity to memorize the proverb with me!
One. Korean proverb; Trying to catch two rabbits misses both
Everyone has a desire, right? It's a proverb you can use for those who are greedy and want to do multiple things at once. If you chase two rabbits, you can interpret it as missing both.
2. Korean Proverbs; Someone else's rice cake looks big
It is a proverb that is a metaphor for envy or envy that someone else has more than you. "The grass is greener on the other side of the fence." Translated into Korean, it translates as "The grass of other houses looks better than ours." The meaning of the proverb is the same, but it's fun to express it with rice cake and grass in foreign countries and Korea!
3. Korean Proverbs; Beans grow when beans are planted, and red beans grow when red beans are planted.
This is the first time I have heard this proverb, and the meaning of this proverb is that whatever happens, the result appears according to the cause.
4 Korean proverbs; The ax I believe in will stamp my instep
It means that you will rise up and be betrayed by someone you believed in. You can use it when you are betrayed by someone you trusted.
5. Korean Proverbs; If there are many boatmen, the boat goes to the mountain
It is said that if many people try to steer a boat according to their own opinions, in the end the boat will not go to the water and go to the mountains. It means that simple and easy things that can be done alone can be ruined by a group of people.
6. Korean Proverbs; If the word you say is good, then the word coming back at you is good
Have you heard of this proverb? I think everyone hears it at least once! As the saying goes, it literally means, "You have to say good things to others so that others are good to you." These days, there are some malicious comments on social media or comments that do not consider the other person's mood or situation. “The words that come are good only when the words that go out are good.” Please remember this proverb, and it is a pretty word! Hope you enjoy!
