🧑🏫Main Expressions🧑🏫
1. 부모 (Bumo)
2. 부모님 (Bumon-nim)
3. 어버이날 (Eobeoi-nal)
In Korea, May 8th is Parent's day.
I have heard that some countries celebrate Mother's day or Father's day.
Korea's parent's day is similar as that. Korean children celebrate and give presents with some events.
So this week's word will be parents, 부모 in Korean.
Parents in Korean is said as "bumo" or "bumonnim."
Because Korean use the honorific, the original word is "bumo", and honoific word is "bumonnim."
Putting "-nim" in front of words that is a type of person means giving respect to that person.
Also, "bumo" does not have plural expression, so you just need to write "bumo".
Now I will write the expressions that can be used. It can be hard to follow, but you can just memorize it as one term.
[Words of the Week]
부모 (Bumo) [부모]
: It means parents. It is a noun.
"bu" means father, and "mo" means mother.
If you are new in Korean, you can just put this word into a sentence in your language like this
- I visited bumonnim(부모님)'s home yesterday.
- How is your bumonnim(부모님)?
I put this word in an english sentence because I only know English. I hope you can use it for fun.
[Expressions of the week]
1. Basic
This time, it will be not in sentence. Instead, it will show new words using "부모."

Expression2: Parent-in-law
시부모(Si-bumo)

부모님께 편지를 드리다. (Bumonnim-kke pyeonji-reul deuri-da)

Have you ever thought of.... how should one learn about language in fun way?
I think if you are a person who is learning Korean, you might have thought this. Actually, I really had a hard time learning English when I was young. For now.... I can use quite freely, without limitations.
In my experience, using that certain many times is the fastest way of learning. So I thought introducing Korean words and help using it can be the nice way to learn Korean!
Every week, I am going to introduce you a Korean expression with how to use it with examples.
I am going to show you expressions that can be used in daily lives or while you are working. I hope this series can help you learning and living in Korea.
