Lesson 9

In this episode, Angela and Peter talk about using the bank in Korea. Check out through the video what made Angela freak out in the bank, things Peter loves about banks that have nothing to do with money, and why you need to know how to read and write your name in Hangeul correctly.

1. 이름
이름 means "name."

2. 존함
존함 means "name" too. It's an honorific form for 이름.
할아버지 존함이 어떻게 되시나요? What is your grandfather's name?

3. 어디 사세요?
어디 사세요? means "Where do you live?" 어디 is where. "사세요?" is an honorific interrogative of 살다 which means "to live."

4. 거주
거주 means "residence," the condition of living somewhere. When you are talking about the place you live, you say 거주지. 거주하다 is a verb meaning "to live," but it's more formal than 살다.

ex) 거주지를 옮기다 to change one's residence

5. 묶어 놓다 [무꺼 노타]
묶다 means "to tie." An auxiliary verb -아/어 놓다 is used when a completed action or state stays continuously. 묶어 놓다 becomes "to keep something tied up."

ex) 경찰이 올 때까지 도둑을 묶어 놓자. Let's keep the thief strapped until the police comes.

ex) 문을 열어 놓으세요. Keep the door open.

6. 적금을 깨다 [적끄믈 깨다]
적금 is installment savings. 깨다 is "to break something," so 적금을 깨다 means "to cancel installment savings."

ex) 적금을 깨서 그 돈으로 노트북을 살 거예요. After cancelling my installment savings, I'm going to buy a laptop with it.

7. 통장
통장 is bank book.

8. 도장
도장 is stamp, a small tool for putting a mark on a document such as a contract or an agreement. "To stamp" is 도장을 찍다. FYI, postage stamp in Korean is 우표.

ex) 도장을 깜빡했는데 서명으로 대신해도 될까요? I forgot my stamp. Can I sign instead?

9. 사극
사극 is a drama or based on historical events or figures. What Angela means by "사극 pen writing" is old Korean handwritings that you might see from 사극.

10. 한글
한글 is Hangeul which refers to Korean alphabet.

11. 공인인증서[공이닌증서]
공인인증서 is an online security certificate for identity verification, required for online transactions in Korea.

12. 계좌 이체 [게좌 이체/계좌 이체]
계좌 means "account" and 이체 means "transfer." 계좌 이체 is transferring money into an account

ex) 계좌 이체 해주세요. Send money to my account.
