Analysis The conversation began with 谿 asking this: 谿: 蟾, 譟一誤 ? Here, we learn our first bit of Korean. "蟾?" is a common formal greeting in Korean. It literally means "Are you at peace?". "" is a title which means "Mr".
譟一誤: . 蟾, 谿 ? "" means "yes". Typically, the response to "蟾?" is "", but it is not necessary to respond that way. 谿: 襷 覦螳給. "襷 覦螳給" means "Nice to meet you." This can also be shortened to "覦螳給も "襷" means "because we've met".
譟一誤: . 讌 螳. Here, we learn some important things about making a Korean sentence. "" means "I," and "" means "Me too". Then Joseph says: " 讌 螳." This means "I go home." 谿: . 螳. 譟一誤: 螻. Both say goodbye to each other, but in Korean you differentiate between who is staying and who is leaving.
Sentence Analysis: 讌 螳 I (topic) house (location) go As mentioned above, means "I". In Korean, "" marks the primary topic of a sentence. Joseph is talking primarily about himself, so he says "". So, if Joseph wanted to talk primarily about his house (讌) instead of himself, he would say "讌".
"" is in a similar class of elements (called "particles"), but it marks the location, such as "to school (蟲), to the bathroom (レれ)," and so forth. Finally, we see the verb, "螳." Now, if you were to look up "go" in a Korean dictionary, it would probably say "螳." This is the verb's unconjugated dictionary or "base" form. "螳" is the actual root of the verb. The standard, polite statement conjugation in Korean is {rooz + /給}
