Mountain #1
Hello, everybody. I opened this section to let you know Korean vocabulary in a fun through stories.
Look at the forest. May is the latest spring in Korea.
So, the whole mountain is full of light green leaves, grass, and beautiful flowers.
Shall you go up the mountain today?
In Korea, mountains are 63% of the area.
If you turn your head, there are mountains everywhere.
So, I think knowing words related to mountains will be helpful to know the daily life of Koreans.
Okay, let's learn a word.
Mountains are 산. 산.
Add 산 to the end of the name.
For example, mountain 백두 is 백두산. 백두산.
So, how do you say mountain 할라 and mountain 서락 in Korean?
Yes, 할라산. 할라산.
And 서락산. 서락산.
This is the 태백 mountains.
How many mountains?
I gave up.
The mountain range is called 산맥. Add 맥 after 산.
서락산 is representative mountains of the 태백산맥. 태백산맥.
Mountain Everest is 에베레스트산.
And the Himalayas are 히말라야산맥. 에베레스트산. 히말라야산맥.
산에 가요. It literally means I'm going to the mountains, but it means I'm going hiking.
등산해요. 등산해요.
올라가요. Go up. 내려가요. Go down.
You can also use these verbs in the elevator.
올라가요? 아니요, 내려가요. 올라가요? 아니요, 내려가요.
Did you notice there are a lot of rocks at the top of mountains?
The rock is 바위. 바위.
The stone is 돌. 돌.
Is it marble? What kind of rock is it?
These rocks are all granite.
Granite is 화강암. 화강암.
It's the most widely distributed rock in Korea.
It's a rock in which magma slowly hardens deep underground.
It's stronger than marble, so it's hard to handle.
This is a typical Korean forest.
The forest is 숲. 숲.
Now let's take a look at the soil.
The soil is 흙. 흙.
According to forest soil math,
the soil with the largest distribution in the mountain is brown forest soil,
accounting for about 77% of the total.
The most of it is slightly dry.
Therefore, Korean mountains cannot be regarded as a favorable condition for forest management.
And grass is growing out of the soil.
The grass is 풀. 풀.
Grass annoys farmers, but there are many grasses that people can eat.
Edible grass, roots, leaves are collectively called 나물.
나물 can be translated into English as herbs, wild vegetables, and greens.
In particular, those found in the mountains are called 산나물 or 산채,
and found in the field are called 들나물 or 야채,
and the grass grown by humans is called 채소.
But these days, 채소 are commonly referred to as 야채.
But I personally prefer the term 채소.
Vegetables, 채소.
This is a 한정식, Korean table dough.
These days, we eat a lot of meat and fish at a restaurant,
but we have eaten a lot of vegetables at home.
비빔밥 is the most representative Korean dish made up of various vegetables and 고추장, red pepper paste.
That's very important.
You can make unlimited kinds of 비빔밥 using the ingredients you want, just like a pizza.
This is a 전주비빔밥, which originated in the 전주 region.
It's the most representative 비빔밥.
And there are 돌솥비빔밥.
As you learned, 돌 is stone.
So, stone pot 비빔밥.
It's a hot one.
산채비빔밥.
산 is mountain, so mountain festival 비빔밥.
멍게비빔밥, sea squirt 비빔밥.
새싹비빔밥, sprout 비빔밥.
And 꽃잎비빔밥, petal 비빔밥.
As you climb the mountain, you may see such beautiful scenery.
It's the same in Korea.
This is 계곡, valley.
Water is flowing.
Water is 물.
계곡, 물.
The sound of water flowing through the valley is always beautiful.
Can you see the water stream coming down from the top in the middle of the picture?
This is 폭포.
Waterfall is 폭포.
Look in the water.
They are 물고기, 물고기.
Suddenly, the wind blows.
The wind is 바람, 바람.
Let's check word.
Sound is 소리, 소리.
You can make many compound words using 소리.
The sound of water is 물소리, 물소리.
Birds are 새.
Can you make the sound of birds?
Yes, 새소리, 새소리.
And the sound of wind?
Yes, 바람소리, 바람소리.
Ah, let me tell you two words to remember with water.
술 means alcohol and 불 means fire.
All three words use the vowel 우 and the final consonant 르.
Enjoy the rhyme.
물, 술, 불.
In the mountain part 2, we will talk about flowers and trees.
Have a nice day.
안녕히 계세요.
