ㅆㅂ is very apparent, it's a swear word >!씨발!< , English equivelant of the f-word.

ㅆ could mean a lot of different thing depending of the context, but generally it conveys the same meaning as ㅆㅂ.

&#x200B;

ㅆㄹ is a nonexistent word, so its meaning could only guessed by the surrounding context. My guess is it's either 쏘리 (Sorry), or typo of ㅅㄹ(시러 => 싫어, I don't want it).

ㅆ is either 씨 or short form of ㅅㅂ. ㅅㅂ(시발) is a curse word.

ㅆㅂ(씨발) is same as ㅅㅂ but with stronger accent.

ㅆㄹ is '쏘리'(sorry).

Reminder that Korean slangs usage have an extremely short lifespan. A popular slang could go out of style in couple of months. Especially for people under 30.

Every slangs I see on this post and comments are pretty old.

Be aware that incorrect usage (context and the age level of the people you are saying it to) could cause embarrassment. A lot of the times, it's cringeworthy more than anything.

For example: 럭키비키 was a popular saying last year. But if you use that around teens and young adults, they'll probably just think you're old.

Don't be that person who tries to mix in slang with your A1/A2 level Korean. No-one will have any idea what you are talking about.

> 귀여워요, 괜찮아

Not slang at all

개이득 means you got an unexpected chance to get something good

노잼

Literally just heard it in a recent youtube vid by an active mma fighter/youtuber. Watchu talkin bout

ㅎㅎ can be snarky time to time, ㅎ or ㅋ definitely snarky, ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ is just laughing, 큐 is laughing+crying and there's more

I like to do ㅋ̄̈ㅋ꙼̈ㅋ̆̎ㅋ̐̈ㅋ̊̈

My most intensive laughter is 엌ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Afaik it depends on how you use it.

“ㅋㅋ~” is for when something is a little funny or I’m indicating it’s a joke

“ㅋㅋㅋ+” is me saying I’m laughing in real life

Well what’s fun about internet based colloquialisms are that you can just make them up.

Not to be vague but You can.. just start doing a thing and it’s technically language if someone understands it.

start conversations using

잘 지내셨어요? (How have you been?)

When you see her, you can say something like

어머님은 볼때마다 젊어지시는거 같아요 (You look younger and younger whenever I see you)

I use this phrase a lot whenever i see my mom's friends at church lol.

ㅡㅡ is the equivalent of -_-

That's pair of eyes, like showing how they're annoyed

"Srsly?"

😑

Annoyed, somtimes banteringly, sometimes satrically. Representing eyes being narrow when you are annoyed.

I can't really tell you for sure since I'm not korean, but from my interactions with them, this is what they sound like to me:
괜찮네ㅋ: thats nice haha.. :|
괜찮넼ㅋㅋㅋ: thats nice😂
괜찮네ㅎㅎ: thats nice hehe(awkward hehe)

How do you do a "haha" to soften a potentially risky message? Like say you shoot your shot and then say "haha" afterwards. Is that just ㅎㅎ?

I think they could be used sarcastically but in my experience a single character is more often representative of just a very minor degree of laughing. Kind of like the whole "puff of air out your nose" that everyone on reddit should be familiar with.

Alternately, it can also be the equivalent of how some people punctuate text messages with a single lol that doesn't actually mean they laughed but is just sort of there to inform the other party that the message is meant in a lighthearted way.

Edit: don't trust me on this, trust the native speakers below who disagree.

Once I messaged my husband with a single "ㅋ" and he told me it gives the impression that im trying to ignore/dont really want to engage.

So like ㅋ has a similar nuance to how some younger English speakers sometimes perceive sentences ending with a period or not (with being a little more aggressive, vs no period)

To me, a single ㅋ sounds passive-aggressive or very dismissive/indifferent. I've rarely seen a single ㅎ.
괜찮네ㅋ
괜찮넼ㅋㅋㅋ
괜찮네ㅎㅎ
All have a different nuance to them.

So hypothetically how would you replace your "lol" in "imo lol" if it was in Korean?

느끼한사람 is really hard to explain in English because it is more than just being cheesy. It carries this feeling of someone who is way too smooth, like they are putting on a show instead of being genuine. When a Korean sees a text like 잘잤어 ㅎ or 예쁘다 ㅎ, it does not come across as sweet, it feels greasy and overdone, like the words are covered in butter. It is the kind of sweetness that makes you squirm a little, not because it is romantic, but because it feels unnatural and exaggerated. The little ㅎ at the end makes it sound even more slippery, almost like they are smirking at their own lines.

In English the closest examples would be someone who always says good morning beautiful or my darling princess in a tone that is dripping with fake charm. You could call it cringy, corny, or even slimy. It is like someone who thinks they are a smooth talker but it comes off heavy handed, like perfume that is sprayed too much. Instead of making you feel flattered, it makes you roll your eyes. Another way to explain it is that it feels like eating food with too much cream or oil, it is overwhelming, you cannot finish it, and it leaves you uncomfortable.

cringey. sleazy like some have suggested, has far more undesirable quality and feels a bit too strong of a word to use to describe 느끼한.

Maybe just show the pic of 박진영 in bed and tell your friend that it gives off the same vibes lol

cringey and sleazy are the best words for this

When to use 골 vs 꿀 - watching K-dramas it's hard to tell which one is being used and get a good sense of the different contexts.

When someone asks me if something was hard to do (like an exam) can I say 그냥 그래 - so-so?
