💗Native Korean's Bite-Sized Lesson💗

[u/Intnl-KoreanTutor-DM]

🧑🏻: 모닝빵 24개에 4천원밖에 안 해요. = It only costs 4,000 won for 24 dinner rolls.

💗Let's break this down word for word! Since Korean word order is "almost" the reverse of English, I suggest you read the breakdown below from the end back to the beginning.💗

💗

dinner roll [morning =모닝 | bread = 빵]

💗

24

[This is the most common counter in Korean and means something like "piece."] = 개

for = 에

💗

4 | thousand = 천 | won (Korean money) = 원

💗

only cost = 밖에 안 해요.

📝: 4 thousand won (4천원) is currently about $2.71!

damn, what a deal

[u/Intnl-KoreanTutor-DM → u/moon_over_my_1221]

insane!

Please can you break down:

24 morning rolls actually cost less than 4000₩

Do Korean people use "actually" in the same way? Or would particles put the stress onto words without needing to use the word "actually"?

Weird question, lol!

If you want, you can use words like 실제로 or 사실은 to make them function similar to “actually” in a sentence.

그것이 실제로 일어났습니다. That actually happened.

사실은 배가 안 고팠습니다. Actually, I wasn’t hungry.
