Words of the Week with Jae for Intermediate Learners #6 - Rooms in Your House

First, we have chimshil, which means bedroom.

Shil is the word meaning room, so I think you're going to see this word, um, several times in this video.

And chim can be used for anything that you use for sleeping because it means to sleep, literally.

Okay, with the word you can say, ""우리 부모님은 침실을 같이 사용합니다"" which means my parents share a bedroom.

Okay, next we have geoshil, which means living room.

So you can also see the same word shil here, which means room.

With the word you can say, ""우리 가족은 저녁에 거실에 모여서 함께 TV를 봅니다"" which means in the evening, my family watch TV together in a living room.

Okay, next we have, uh, buheok, which means kitchen.

With the word I can say, ""옛날에는 부엌이 집 바깥에 있었습니다"" which means in the old days, kitchens are placed outside home in Korea.

Obbang, dressing room.

I wanted to have that kind of room [laughs] when I was young.

But, um, ob means cloth and bang means room, so it means, literally means room for cloth, a dressing room.

We can say, ""한국에는 정말 정말 큰 집에만 옷방이 있습니다"" which means in Korea you can find dressing room only in the very, very, very, very big houses.

Okay, next we have hwajangshil, meaning bathroom.

Actually, hwajang means makeup and shil means room, so it literally means makeup room.

Um, but these days we use this word to mean bathroom.

Okay, with the word I can say, ""갑자기 소식이 와서 공원에 있는 공중 화장실에 갔습니다"" which means I suddenly got some news, so I just went to a public restroom in a park.

I just used the word [laughs] so shiki wada, which means, like, the news just came in.

Um, that's meaning something like you just, you know [laughs] got, got some signal that you wanted to, you know, you have to go to the bath, um, restroom and that's the end.
