china_shop오늘 바보같은 내가 Wordle하고 Worldle 둘 다에 실패했다. ㅠㅠ 아마 일어나다가 해 본 게 좋은 아이디어 아녔나 본다. 내 연속들이* 깨어져서 다시 시작해야 하지. 내 샤워 커튼을 더 공부해 봐야겠나 본다.

오늘 빼고 거의 평일마나 내가 LWS의 작가 시간이라는데에 다녀 간다. 작가 시간에는 여러 나라에서 사람들이 Zoom으로 모여 와서 자기의 글쓰기 같이 한다. 조직자들은* 이 시간 동안은 아무것도 하지 않을 수 있거나 글쓸 수 있다고 말한다. 그런 뜻이는 쓰기 아닌 걸 하면 안 된다. 아무 글쓰기의 종류나 괜찮아서 그냥 써야 된다.
* organiser
시작 시간이 있어서 내가 미루지 않고, 많은 다른 사람들도 열심히 일하게 있어서 내가 집중 잘 할 수 있다. 기분이 안 맞거나 시간이 없으면 그냥 안 가도 된다. 내 생각엔 정말 도움이 된다.
또, 내가 운동 친구가 있다. 매날 무슨 운동 했는지 우리가 서로 이메일로 보내다 받는다. 작은 일인데 동기를* 많이 준다. "아, 오늘 피곤해"라고 또는 "너무 바빠"라고 생각할때 있어도 뭘 한 걸 운동 친구한테 말할 수 있고 싶기 때문에 운동 조금 한다.
* motivation
세번째로 날마다 글씀이라는 비공식적인* 단체** 있다. 매날, 그 날에 얼마나 많은 단어를 썼는지 말할 Dreamwidth 컴멘트를 남길 수 있다. 작가 시간처럼, 안 하고 싶으면 하지 않아도 되는데 내 운동 친구처럼, 이 구조가*** 나한테 동기를 준다.
* unofficial
** group, organisation
*** structure
그래서 내가 글쓸 하고 운동할 동기를 주는 사람들이 있다.
근데는 우리 집이 엄청 더럽고 지저분하다.* 좋은 청소 버릇이 없이 여기서 22년 동안 산 후에 물건이 점점 너무 많아졌는데 대부분을 아마 버려야겠다. 나머지를 잘 청소해야겠다. 너무 힘들거다. 결정을 굉장히 많이 해야 될거다. 여러 물건 하나 하나 쓸모있는지, 어디로 둬야 되는지 자신한테 자꾸 물어봐야 할거다. 버리면 될 까? 필요 있을까? 내가 시작할 어딘지 모른다.
* messy
그래서 내 생각엔 청소와 정리 친구가 필요한다. 매날 뭘 한 걸 서로 이메일로 말할 누가나 스프린트로 동시에 청소할 동의할 누가다. 그런 사람이 있으면 내가 더 바빠질 거지만 어쩔 수 없이 해야 한다. 그래서 그런 사람을 찾아 볼거다.

china_shop1. 최근에 일기를 쓰면서 찾아 본 단어는 다 정리해야 해서 다시 어휘를 배우기 시작할 수 있다. 목록을 만들려고 한다.
2. 내 엄지손가락이 좀 아프다. 손을 쉬려고 했는데 보통 생활엔 해야 할 일을 하면서는 손을 쉬기가 좀 어렵다. 그리고 쉬어도, 갈수록 엄지가 점점 약해 지고 점점 아파지는 것 같다. 뭘 해야 할지 잘 모르겠다. 아마 전자책 아닌 책을 읽는 게 아마 돕지 않아는 것 같다. 꽉 잡아야 하니까. 귀찮다.
그리고 내가 설거지할때 어떤 냄비 몇개 너무 무껍다.
3. 아무튼, 다른 할 일 전에 운동 좀 할거다. 그리고 그때 후에 저녁 시간이 될 거다.

TTMIK Level 5 lessons 13 to 15
Apr. 1st, 2018 11:04 amchina_shopLesson 5 lesson 13 - Word builder 회
회 (to gather) + 사 (to gather) = 회사 = company
회사 (company) + 원 (member) = 회사원 = employee, worker
회 (to gather) + 의 (to discuss) = 회의 = meeting
회의 (meeting) + 실 (house, residence) = 회의실 = meeting room, conference room
회 (to gather) + 식 (food, to eat) = 회식 = get-together dinner, company dinner
회 (to gather) + 계 (to count, to calculate) = 회계 = accounting
회 (to gather) + 비 (to spend) = 회비 = (membership) fee, (membership) dues
회 (to gather) + 원 (the number of people) = 회원 = member
회 (to gather) + 화 (word, to talk) = 회화 = foreign-language conversation
사 (to gather) + 회 (to gather) = 사회 = society
국 (country, nation) + 회 (to gather) = 국회 = National Assembly
대 (big) + 회 (to gather) = 대회 = competition, tournament
교 (to teach) + 회 (to gather) = 교회 = church
동 (the same) + 호 (to like) + 회 (to gather) = 동호회 = club, society
Level 5 lesson 14 - Since, because (으)니까, (으)니
Both of these structures show the reason/result or cause/effect relationship of two verbs, but -아/어/여서 can’t be used in imperative sentences or with “Let’s”.
For basic greetings and when talking about your own feelings or situations, you can’t use -(으)니까 and you have to use -아/어/여서, eg, 와 줘서 고마워요. = Thank you for coming.
Sometimes, -(으)니까 can mark the end of the sentence when you are simply answering a question or providing a basis for a judgement or an action.
Q. 이거 왜 샀어요? = Why did you buy this?
A. 맛있으니까요. = Because it is delicious.
괜찮아요. 아까 봤으니까. = It is okay. (Because) I already saw it earlier.
** In this sentence, if you are speaking in 존댓말, you need to add -요 after 봤으니까 but it is still OKAY not to add it because this can be understood as a simple change of order of the sentence parts. (아까 봤으니까 괜찮아요 --> 괜찬아요, 아까 봤으니까.)
Sample sentences:
더우니까 에어컨 켤까요? = It’s hot, so shall we turn on the airconditioner?
저 지금 바쁘니까 나중에 전화해 주세요. = I am busy now so call me later.
Level 5 lesson 15 - At least, instead (이)라도
It is attached after nouns, adverbs or particles to add one of the following meanings:
1) Something is suggested but it's not the best out of all choices, eg, 이거라도, 저라도, 커피라도.
2) When used after 아무, 누구, 어디, 언제, or 어느, it means: any choice is fine, eg, 언제라도, 누구라도. Ie, anytime (it doesn't matter when)/whenever, anyone (it doesn't matter who)/whoever...
3) When it is used after certain adverbs or words describing number or quantity, it can be used to emphasize the number or quantity and add the meaning of “even”, eg, 하루라도, 잠시라도, 2명이라도.
4) To express some suspicion about a certain possibility, eg, 혹시 감기라도, 어떤 문제라도.
Sample sentences:
과자라도 먹을래요? = (I don’t have any better food, but) Would you like some snack (at least)? (In this case, you don’t have any other proper food, so you are suggesting having snack at least.)
내일 영화라도 볼래요? = Maybe we can watch a movie or something tomorrow?, Do you want to watch a movie or something tomorrow? (In this case, you mean that watching a movie is not the best or most that you could do together, but you suggest it anyway because it’s better than nothing. If you are very excited about watching a movie, you would instead just say 내일 영화 볼래요?)
이렇게라도 해야 돼요. = I should at least do this. This should at least prevent further trouble. I should at least do this, or else... (In this case, you imply that there are other things that could be done but you can’t do all of them, and this is what you can at least do to either stay out of trouble or to solve a situation.)
저는 언제라도 갈 수 있어요. = I can go anytime. (In this case, you imply that “when” you go wouldn’t make much difference.)
뭐라도 마셔요. = Drink something (since it would be uncomfortable for me to see you not drinking anything). (In this case, 뭐 means “something”, you are telling the other person to at least drink SOMETHING, since you think it would be at least better than nothing.)
하루라도 빨리 끝내야 돼요. = I need to finish it quickly. Even one day sooner would make a lot of difference.
(하루라도 빨리 can also be understood as a fixed expression that means “as soon as possible”.)
혹시 사고라도 났어요? = By any chance, did you have an accident? (사고가 나다 means “an accident happens” and here, if you add -라고 after 사고, you imply that you have no concrete evidence or fact but you have suspicion that something happened, so you ask the other person meaning “You had an accident or what?”)
회 (to gather) + 사 (to gather) = 회사 = company
회사 (company) + 원 (member) = 회사원 = employee, worker
회 (to gather) + 의 (to discuss) = 회의 = meeting
회의 (meeting) + 실 (house, residence) = 회의실 = meeting room, conference room

Verbs: 들다 and 돌다
Jan. 5th, 2018 01:16 pmchina_shopI was getting confused about some similar-sounding verbs this morning, so I tried setting them out in a list in Google translate, and eventually realised that fundamentally there are only two base verbs, plus 오다 and 가다, plus passive forms. (Also, Google translate is terrible and misleading.)
The two base verbs are:
돌다 to turn, to rotate
들다 to enter, to hold
So adding 오다 and 가다 leads to
돌다 to turn
돌아오다 to return, to come back
돌아가다 to return, to go back
들다 to enter
들어오다 to come in
들어가다 to go in
And making 들다 passive gives:
들이다 to let someone in, to allow someone in, to adopt
들여오다 to import, to smuggle
Not to be confused (although I totally did) with these, which are from the passive of 듣다 to hear:
들리다 to be heard, to reach
들려오다 to reach one's ears, to come into hearing
