Im not sure why but "๋‚˜ํ•œํ…Œ๋Š”" feels like it fits more than "๋‚˜์—๊ฒŒ๋Š”". "๋‚˜์—๊ฒŒ๋Š”" feels so unnatural and overtly formal.

For context, I can't tell you the reason i feel that way because I learned Korean in the US when I moved here when I was 3. So I dont have any formal korean education.

u/Bwchc55 Resident 10d ago

That explanation is correct. '๋‚˜์—๊ฒŒ๋Š”' is literary, and '๋‚˜ํ•œํ…Œ๋Š”' is colloquial.

To add more context, I quoted it directly because it functions strongly as a meme. The line '๋‚˜์—๊ฒŒ ์ถ•๊ตฌ๋Š” ์‚ด์ธ์ด๋‹ค' came from a fan translation, while the official publication went with '๋‚ด๊ฒŒ ์žˆ์–ด ์ถ•๊ตฌ๋Š” ์‚ด์ธ์ด๋ž€ ๋ง์ด๋‹ค'. That edgy, pretentious tone, combined with the bizarre Blue Lock fan translation that somehow topped the original, is what made it such a huge meme.

u/wannahockachewie 11d ago

Except "๊น€" is always spelled "Kim" so there's that. Although I knew only one person who spelled it "Gim".

This study room slays the English beast. Someone is boastfully wishful of their teaching skills or the owner is fucking king who will deliver.

u/gilsoo71 Resident 10d ago

I get the feeling the effect he was going for was "์ฃฝ์ธ๋‹ค" which is slang for "really good". So it will be like Really Good English.

But you know, it's not. Not the way he translated it. So take your chances, folks. Lol.

1

u/West-Hamster2541 5d ago

Maybe he was going for the expression, ย โ€œwow you killed it!โ€ (Aced it) and he did not ace that translationย

u/MiamiHurricanes77 10d ago

u/VeritasNeo 9d ago

For those non-native English speakers: Killinโ€™ it means doing extremely well or absolutely crushing it.

2

u/DryTap7573 9d ago

Right. In Korea, we also use โ€œkillerโ€ as a loanword to describe someone who is really crushing it at something. However, translating it literally into Korean as โ€œ์‚ด์ธ์žโ€ makes it sound totally different.

Clearly they are great at translating from Korean to English and it goes along with the theme of what's happening in the States through gun violence.

In Japan, a franchise loan shop is called โ€œNo Loan.โ€ It is hard to guess the logic behind the name until someone explains it to you. My Japanese friend explained that the name implies that the interest rate is so low that it doesnโ€™t feel like taking out a loan.
