SHORTENED WORDS
Shortened
form Real word Comment
ㅇㅇ 응 Positive response, low form of 네 (yes).
ㅇㅋ Ok
~욜 ~요일
Abbreviation used in combination when expressing a particular day.
일욜 → 일요일 (Sunday)
수욜 → 수요일 (Wednesday)
ㄳ / ㄱㅅ 감사합니다 Thank you
ㄳ / ㄱㅅ 가속
Accelerate - used on some message boards to artificially increase the number
of replies or keep the thread alive. (I don't think any Korean would use ㄳ
this way.)
ㄱㅊ 괜찮아요 It's ok
ㅅㄱ 수고하세요 Keep up the good work.
ㅊㅋ 축하해요 Congratulations
ㅎㅇ 하이 Hi
ㅂㅇ 바이 Bye
방가 방가워요 Nice to meet you
ㅅㅂ 씨발 A strong korean curse word, similar to the F word.
낼 내일 Tomorrow
올만이네 오랜만이네 Long time no see.
짱나 짜증 나 Expression you use when something or someone is annoying
글쿠나/글쿤 그렇구나 (Ah) I see!
걍 그냥 Just
어케 어떻게 How
대체 도대체 ~the hell (i.e. who the hell ...)
TEXT MESSAGE STYLE
Since many young people are so used to typing text messages in a different way, typing proper
Korean can sometimes make the person sound serious or angry. Many young people use a
style that is considered more cute. However these should not be used in formal conversation,
people who you have a formal relationship with and elders (cases vary).
Style/form Comment
A/V + ㅁ/음 (instead
of A/V + (으)면)
This is not to be confused with the real grammar pattern A/V + (으)ㅁ which
turns a adjective or verb into a noun.
일찍 끝남 전화할게 → 일찍 끝나면 전화할게 (If I finish early, I'll
call you)
시간 있음 만나자 → 시간 있으면 만나자 (If you have time, let's
meet)
Simple spelling
Examples:
맞아 → 마자
싫어 → 시로
응 substitutions Using 엉, 웅, 앙, 옹, 읭, 잉 instead of 응 (low form of 'yes'). These forms are
supposed to be more 'cute.'
Adding ㅇ as the 받침 to
words.
Young people often add ㅇ as the 받침 to words at the end of sentences
without a 받침.
Examples:
오빠! → 오빵!
일찍 만나자 → 일찍 만나장
Substitutes for ~요
~여, ~염, ~엽, ~욘, ~용 , ~효 = Substitutes for ~요 at the end of sentences.
Examples:
잘 자요 → 잘 자여
~셈
Substitute for ~십시오 & ~세요.
Examples:
(to be added)
삼, ~3
Substitute for ~습니다 and 세요. 삼 is the pronunciation for the Sino Korean
number three, so 3 can be used as well.
Examples:
소주 주세요 → 소주 주삼
Using ㅅ instead of ㅆ
(as 받침)
Examples:
했어 → 햇어
먹었어 → 먹엇어
(Note: This is usually just a typo.)
Spelled as pronounced Some words are spelled the way they are commonly pronounced.

Korean Shortened Words: Chatting and Text Messaging in Korean By Cyjh
Social Network Map
Do Koreans Love Social Networking Sites?
Koreans are really like bookworms who are always carrying a lot of books on their bags and studying from morning until evening. Students are always busy writing diaries (though my students always complain), and memorizing a lot of vocabulary words (especially English vocabulary words).However, like other people, like you and me, they are still human (hoho!). They also love socializing and they, of course, use social networking sites.
Facebook, Cyworld, Kakaostory, Me2day, Twitter
Facebook, as we all know, is the most famous social networking site globally. Koreans do have it but not most of Koreans that I know.
Cyworld which is the Korean version for 'Facebook' and Koreans, though not all, usually have it. (Well, I don't have it so I can't explain about this further. Can you forgive me? ^^)
Kakaostory. (This one! I have this one! Hahaha!) Actually, this one is for smartphones, tablets and other devices that can use internet aside from computers, laptops, and pc notebooks.(I'm not good at technology, anyway.) Most of my students don't have Facebook but almost all of them have Kakaostory. One can post statuses, pictures and receives
comments or tags. While Facebook has Facebook Chat, Kakaostory has Kakaotalk which used as a messenger and is also used to call.
Me2day. I've included this one since I have it. However, I usually don't use it. (I can't even remember my log in id and password. hoho!) I couldn't understand even a bit Korean when I joined this site... and what the... all I could see on the homepage is Korean!!! Well, I can describe this site like facebook, too. They system is different of course. There's no instant chatbox but there's like message page, I can say. The good thing about this site is that (like Twitter) you can identify who is the real celebrity and who is not. A celebrity has something like 'verified' or ' / ' (check mark) below his/her profile name. Most Korean celebrities do have it but they just post really sometimes. :)
Last one is Twitter. Who does not know about it?? I made a twitter just to follow and mention my favorite Korean star! :) Most of Korean stars have it and they post, yeah, quite much! ^^ Anyway, I only have one student who has it and most of my students tell me "It's hard to use," when I try to ask them Hoho! Most of my Korean friends don't have it, too.
Aside from these sites, Koreans join other social networks to meet new people and explore new things. Though some of them can speak and chat in English, I think it's also better for us to know some of the words they use to express themselves online.
Kakaotalk
Shortened Korean Words/Expressions
Koreans value formality but when they get closer, words are usually shortened to sound cute especially when chatting. Let's try looking at some:
ㅇㅇ
from 응 and it simply means “yes”. For Filipinos, it is same as “Oo” (Tagalog word for „yes‟) so you can remember this quite easily.
ㄴㄴ
is “no”. ㄴ is actually the Korean letter for ‘n’ so you just need to remember that.
ㅇㅋ
just know the Korean alphabet and you’ll understand this. Anyway, it means ‘okay’ or simply ‘ok’.
ㅋ
sounds like giggling in Korean. You can put as much as you want after you made a joke or told someone a funny statement (and I am so used to it that I even make this sound after telling a joke or make a funny statement in person!!! kkk).
ㅎ
from 하하 (haha) and it means like 'haha!' :) Like ㅋ, you can put as
much as you want. The more ㅎ's, the more the person is laughing.
ㅎㅎㅎ
ㅍㅎㅎ
from 푸하하 puahaha and sounds like an evil laugh.
흐규흐규
my student said it's a crying sound but I don't usually use it
흑
sounds like sobbing when someone cries (and this is what I often use)
ㄱㄱ
from 고고 which translated as “go-go”. It’s actually from an English expression go-go sing which means „let‟s go‟ or „let‟s do it’. They also
doㄱㄱ씽 gogo shing sometimes.
ㄳ
from the word 감사합니다 or감사 which means „thank you.‟
ㄷㄷ
ㄷㄷ is short for "덜덜", which means shiver. It is used by someone who is scared or shocked. You can also use this when you are amazed at something. My student said it can also be written as
this ㄷㄷ;; or 후덜덜;
ㅊㅋ
short for 축하해요 which is translated as „Congratulations!‟
ㅜㅜ /ㅠㅠ
like T.T or T_T and means 'tears' or someone is crying/deeply sad (This is actually considered an emoticon but I categorized it in here)
방가방가 (bang-ga bang-ga)
cute way of saying 반가워요 which means “Nice to meet you.” However,
this 방가방가 is likely used between close friends who haven’t met for
some time. It can not and should not be used when talking to elders or someone you have just met.
ㅎㅇ
from 하이 (Ha-i) translated as Hi!
ㅎㄹ
means hello!
할룽
pronounced as (Hallung) and it means both hi and hello!
쀵쀵
pronounced as „pwing-pwing‟ and no direct translation. It can be used when you are asking a favor to someone and begging him/her to
grant your request. It’s like acting like a child. 쀵쀵! ^^
(When done in person, it has some actions to look and sound cute.)
Just remember that you can use most of them when you are using 'banmal' or talking to someone is younger than you or your very close friends. (I guess, I need to create a hub about the formal speech level Koreans have.. hoho!)
There's a lot more but those that I discussed here are the ones I usually use. I just don't want to share something that I am not really sure of! Hoho! But anyway, don't worry! I'll keep this updated. If I learn new ones, I'll tell you! ^^ The last one for now is...
ㅂ 2
short for "바이" and it means "bye" or „g2g‟. „이‟ means 2 in Sino-Korean numbers.
And that is what I'll tell you! kekekeke! ㅂ 2!!! ^^
P.S... ^^ If you want you to add some more, feel free to do so!
This symbol, called tilde, means you are stretching out
your speech. It makes what you are saying nicer or
cuter.
@ Confused. @.@ (@_@)
•,⊙,∑ Special characters.Note: Select Hangul character and
press right CTRL. (•¯ ∀ ¯•) ⊙∑⊙ @( ∙ • ∙ )@
The combinations you can create are endless now that you know the basic elements that make up Korean
emoticons. As other Asian emoticons Korean ones are really cute, don’t you think?

Now you know how to talk to the person you love.. Now for words for someone you don’t
like as much! Korean Swear Words
Pardon my Korean! Learn Korean Swear Words and Profanity
I was a little hesitant to write this article because me people might be offended and such.. but actually it was one of the most requested things I receive in my email. It comes as no surprise really, since I’m sure most most of us would admit that we always seek out the profanity when learning a new language.
Learning Korean swear words for a variety of reasons. Most people tend to swear when they are
stressed or angry. If you have a relative that knows a second language then get upset and start
talking in their other language? People also tend to swear when they are hurt in some way.
Studies have shown that swearing does have pain reducing element.
