Korean obscene words. Korean obscene words Korean obscenities in Russian
Slang as a lexical layer of modern spoken language, rarely studies during academic classes. As a rule, a language learner picks up slang words directly in the environment, communicating with native speakers. And, of course, learning slang is always more fun than learning boring “ordinary” words.
However, one must be extremely careful when using slang in a non-native language. My position: use slang in your speech only if you have already reached the level of a native speaker (or at least the level immediately preceding it); in all other cases, slang and jargon in your speech will look very, very funny and ridiculous. You need to know this layer of vocabulary in order to understand the language, but you simply don’t need to use it yourself (in most cases). This rule applies to all languages, not just Korean. Sometimes it can be very funny to watch how students who came to study Korean in language schools they try to insert into their speech slang expressions that their Korean friends taught them, without fully understanding their meaning and/or without feeling exactly what shade of emotion this or that expression conveys. Remember, until you learn to feel the language on an intuitive level, slang is a closed topic for you. Learn it, recognize it in the speech of others, laugh at jokes, but try not to use it yourself. I’m already tired of correcting Korean students, whom their Russian friends, for the sake of humor, taught all this “preved”, “handsome” and “afftar peshi ischo”. Even a completely harmless “damn” in the speech of a person who confuses cases looks out of place. Slang is all very situational and emotional. I know this when you can say that “the blonde had cognitive dissonance,” but a Korean who has been studying Russian for only a couple of years will not be able to fully experience the complexity of this metaphor.
However, as I said above, knowing slang is an advantage and even a necessity if you want to achieve good level language proficiency. Below, I have selected, as a souvenir, some of the most frequently used words recently, which, in my opinion, any student of modern Korean should know. Translation into Russian is always very approximate, because it is sometimes simply impossible to accurately translate slang expressions. Of course, the list is not complete, slang in Korean, as in any other complete, presented below is the one that comes to mind, which I hear in everyday speech most often.
대박 : exclamation of admiration, surprise or approval, can be roughly translated into Russian as “wow!”, “wow (including its obscene variants)”, “super!”, “cool!”, “wow!” etc. Unfortunately, I don’t know the etymology of the word; none of my friends could really tell me where this word even came from. However, it is used very often. Of course, mainly among young people.
엄친아 : An interesting word that literally translates to "엄마 친구의 아들" ("mother's friend's son"). In Russian it can be roughly translated as “exemplary”, “diligent”, “mama’s boy”, “role model”. The situation from which this word grew, I think, is familiar to absolutely everyone: all mothers in the world usually set as an example for their children the children of their (sometimes imaginary) friends, who study better, and earn more, and have already found a good groom/bride, and they bought an apartment, and are already saving for a car... My mother is also no exception, I often hear “but you remember Sasha (Seryozha, Petya, Vasya, substitute any name), he lived on the third floor. So, he married They bought an apartment for such a good girl, the director’s daughter, and tomorrow they are flying to Bali on vacation...” It’s clear that I don’t have any positive feelings towards this hypothetical earring.
진상 부리다 : “to dig up”, “to make a noise”, “to arise”, “to stink”. This is usually what they say about a client who shakes up his license out of nowhere, shouting and swearing in his speech. I think, you know, there are always and everywhere people who don’t like absolutely everything, and who, without hesitation in the lexical means of expressing their own thoughts, can cause a scandal anywhere. The expression has a rather strong negative connotation and expresses the speaker’s extremely dismissive and disrespectful attitude towards the object.
쩔다 : a word that was extremely popular a year ago, but is no longer used so often. Literally in Russian it is translated as “ferment”, “salt”, and in meaning it is similar to the Russian slang “sausage”, but much stronger in meaning. It can be used both to mean extreme approval and admiration, and vice versa, extreme disapproval and disdain (well, much like the Russian “oh...t” can express both the height of admiration and the height of irritation).
썸녀 : another new formation that can be translated as “a girl with whom a relationship is established beyond simple friendships, but has not yet become a “girl” in romantic meaning this word", "the direction in which there is potential for further development". It consists of two words: "썸" from the English "something" and "여" - "girl; female." Usually used as a tease between guys when one of them is seen spending too much time with one girl.
어장관리: literally “to control the situation in the aquarium, “management” of the aquarium.” Usually they say this about a guy (less often about a girl) who is suspected of having a relationship with more than one member of the opposite sex. Usually said as a joke and emphasizes popularity young man in the opposite sex, his apparent employment and organizational abilities in relationships with other people. Not to be confused with “양다리 걸치다” - this is already “to go to the left”, “to cheat”, “to meet with two (or more) partners at the same time”.
된장녀: "fashionista", "fifa", "tsatsa". Usually said with disdain and/or as a joke. The speaker wants to emphasize the fact that the girl he is talking about likes to dress up fashionably (and not always tastefully), “dress up”, put on expensive perfume (usually a fake), carry a “Louis Vuitton” bag in her hands (like usually also fake). The word "that arose after Sai's hit" has a roughly similar meaning. 강남녀 " (literally: "girl from Gangnam"), but there is a difference. If "twenzhangnyo" has a connotation of expressing disdain for a person who wants to pass himself off as a rich person, who he really is not, then "gangnamnyeo" is said about a girl who likes to go to expensive cafes and restaurants, dress in stylish clothes in expensive boutiques, and in any other way to demonstratively emphasize the availability of funds for such events. A typical “gangnamnyo” might say something like “Can you imagine, I go to Gucci today after a massage, and they are out of those mother-of-pearl shoes that I told you about yesterday! What will I wear to the Maldives tomorrow??”
멘붕 : Short for "맨탈 붕괴" - "brain rupture/removal". One of the few expressions that has an exact counterpart in the Russian language, with the same connotation in meaning! It originally appeared in the comedy show "개그콘서트" and very quickly took root among the people.
훈남 : a young man who is positive on all sides, an ideal candidate for a groom, from a good family, earns good money, very handsome, well-mannered and polite. Every girl's dream, in general.
흑기사 : A person who drinks a penalty glass of alcohol instead of someone who should have drunk it in the first place. For example, in a game at the table, when the loser drinks, the girl loses, then her boyfriend can behave like a gentleman and drink her glass instead.
을 / 갑: another expression that comes from "개그콘서트". These words, as a rule, designate the parties to a contract (any), which in Russian can be translated as “Party A” and “Party B”, or “Customer” and “Contractor”, etc. In slang, “을” means a subordinate, a person who, due to certain circumstances, has no rights and is forced to obey stronger and more powerful people, and, accordingly, “갑” means “boss”, who can spin this “eyl” as he pleases .
치사하다: “low”, “undignified”, “petty” (about nagging or behavior). A word that is so often used that even Koreans themselves no longer perceive it as slang.
헐 : The word came into colloquial speech from the game "Angry Birds", and means an exclamation, strong surprise from some completely unexpected fact or situation. An exclamation that arose as if you had been hit in the gut and you suddenly ran out of air in your lungs (from strong surprise, for example), nevertheless, it has a rather comic effect. I love this word very much, it contains so many emotions that I don’t even know how to correctly convey it into Russian.
웃프다 : A combination of the words "웃다" (to laugh) and "슬프다" (to be sad). It is usually used in situations about which in Russian it is customary to say “both laughter and sin”, “you want to laugh and cry at the same time”, “it would be very funny if it weren’t so sad”, etc.
사진빨: “photogenic”, which looks good in photographs, although in real life none at all. Usually they make fun of a friend’s particularly successful photo, or, on the contrary, they induce unnecessary modesty when everyone around them praises some photograph.

Invective vocabulary is a linguistic phenomenon inherent in all languages. However, for a long time, scientists did not consider it as an object of serious philological study.
The process of democratization of society entailed changes that affected all areas public life: politics, economics, culture, which was accompanied by change public consciousness, revision of accepted norms and stereotypes of behavior. All this could not help but be reflected in the language. The use of invective vocabulary has become free not only in conversational discourse, but also in the media and in fiction who wanted to get closer to in real language everyday verbal communication.
Science responded to these processes with a sharp increase in interest in invective vocabulary, and separate articles and monographs appeared devoted to its study. Modern linguists give different designations for this category of linguistic units: “uncodified”, “taboo”, “reduced”, “unprintable” vocabulary. In this article we will use the term “invective vocabulary”, since it most accurately describes this concept.
Invective vocabulary is a cumulative linguistic phenomenon that absorbs any lexical units national language and speeches that implement or change their semantics in negative (conflict) sociocultural communication.
Invective vocabulary is multifunctional and serves, first of all, as a means of representing negative (aggressive, conflicting) intentions and emotions of communication participants. In the communication process, it activates manifestations verbal aggression, delorization, violence, reduction of the status of the addressee, manipulation of consciousness and behavior of communicants.
In the Korean linguistic picture of the world, invective vocabulary plays an important role, however, this phenomenon has been practically not studied in Korean linguistics. The difficulty in studying this linguistic phenomenon lies, first of all, in the “moral component” of representatives of Korean culture.
Korean society is based on the principles of Confucianism, according to which people from generation to generation were brought up in the spirit of following unchanging traditions. These traditions include strict adherence to the rules interpersonal relationships in society, which are determined by social status, age, gender, degree of intimacy and communication situation. Respect for elders, a complex honorific system, and strict adherence to it in speech are integral components of the Korean language. However, the end of the last century became a time of change for many cultures. The emergence of various subcultures and large-scale changes in politics, economics and culture brought radical changes to the language. People have become more free to express their thoughts and emotions, resulting in the emergence of a new (updated) language. Therefore, science is obliged to pay attention to such a phenomenon as “non-normative” speech.
Invective vocabulary is a full-fledged part of the Korean language, but it should be used extremely carefully in written speech, which cannot be said about oral speech, where socialized forms take place. When studying this phenomenon in the Korean language, you should pay attention to Korean cinema, which is replete with profanity. At the same time, the thoughtless use of such vocabulary, in our opinion, jeopardizes its special status and exceptional emotional expressiveness, which impoverishes the language.
Koreans distinguish the following structure of Korean invective vocabulary:
1) “Noun A + Noun B”
Example: 개+자식병신+세끼 [KE+CHASIK PYONGSIN+SEKI] “crazy”
Most often used when there is some kind of social prohibition or they want to express hatred towards an object.
2) “Noun A + Action verb/quality verb + Noun”
Example: 좆 + 만한 + 놈[CHOT+MANHAN+NOM] “bastard”
Most often used to describe the characteristics of an object towards which they want to express a negative assessment.
In the Korean language, the following categories of invective vocabulary can be distinguished:
1) Words with a pronounced negative connotation, which constitutes the main meaning of their use: 개세끼 [KESEKKI], 개자식 [KEJASIK], 병태 [PYONYOTHAE] “pervert” (borrowing from Chinese language); 싸이코 [SSAIKHO] “maniac-pervert” (borrowing from English), 창녀,절개를파는사람 [CHHANNYO, CHOLKERUL PHANEUN SARAM] “a person who sells loyalty” (typical of the book style).
2) Names of professions used in a figurative sense: 십장 [SIPJAN] “overseer” (used since the Japanese intervention); 짭새 [CHCHAPSE] and a rougher version 씨방새 [SSIPANSE] “cops/garbage”.
3) Zoosemantic metaphors referring to the names of animals: 건반진 놈 [KONBANGIN NOM] “petty cattle”; 씹새끼 [SSIPSEGI] “sons of bitches.”
4) Verbs with “judgmental” semantics or even with a direct negative assessment: 죽인다 [CHUGINTA] “to die” (used in a conversation between men in relation to a girl).
5) Occasional (specially created) pun formations aimed at humiliating or insulting the addressee: 족발 색끼 [JOKBAL SEKKI] “I.....and”, 짱게 [CHCHANKE] “k......y” .
Although recently in textbooks foreign languages curses appear, there are no racist expressions, which, IMHO, is good. However, usually such words well reflect the peculiarities of the country’s cultural development; located under the cut short review these expressions in relation to Korea.
For the Chinese, there are two abusive expressions - chchankke(짱깨), derived from a rather polite Chinese address jianggui(掌櫃, master, master) and Twain(되놈), which, according to the most common etymology, simply means "big bastard". In old times the word was also used cheongungno(청국노, slave from the Qing country), learned from the Japanese; Now, of course, they don’t say that anymore.
A derogatory term for blacks - kcomduni(껌둥이, in Russian can be roughly translated as “black-faced”, ideally corresponds to the English darkie). White people are called khozheni(코쟁이, "nosed").
As one might expect, the Japanese suffered the most. The most common expression is chchokpari(쪽발이). It literally means “one-legged” and is a mockery of traditional Japanese shoes - geta, which, according to medieval Koreans, made a person look like one-legged. One more word - vanom(왜놈, "reptile from the land of Wa"), comes from the old name for Japan - va(倭) and is mainly used in North Korea. Finally, the third curse word is cap(잽), derived from English Jap.
And now about how Koreans are scolded in neighboring countries. In Chinese, the most common curse word is Gaoli Banzi(高麗棒子, Korean stick). This unusual expression has several etymologies, the most common of which is the following: in Manchukuo and in parts of China occupied during the Second Sino-Japanese War, Korean Japanese police officers beat the Chinese with sticks.
Japanese curse words mainly come from one of the names of Korea - Chosen(朝鮮), which was official during the colonial period. One of the curses - ten(チョン) - short for "Chosen". In addition, Koreans find the word offensive Chosen-jin(朝鮮人), although it simply means "Korean" (the word kankoku-jin, which Koreans consider "normal", means not just "Korean", but "South Korean").
Finally, two more Japanese swear words are kimuti(キムチ, from the Korean snack "kimchi") and Nida(ニダー, from the standard grammatical form that ends a Korean sentence).
In conclusion, I will say that the above expressions are of almost exclusively ethnographic interest: despite the high degree of Korean nationalism, it does not lead to violence or even hatred of foreigners: the same Korean may well speak at a rally “Dokdo is the sacred Korean land,” and then take a Japanese friend to a Chinese restaurant at your own expense.

In many languages, there are rude words that can simultaneously express both admiration and insult another person. Even such “elves” as the Koreans have similar expressions. However, many inquisitive individuals are not always able to interpret these words correctly.. Add us to your bookmarks, and don’t forget to check us out. Today we will talk about a very popular Korean term, this Shchibal in Korean, which means you can read a little below.
However, before I continue, I would like to recommend you a couple more interesting publications on the topic of Korean slang. For example, what does Debak mean, how to understand OMO, what is Aish, what does the word Aigu mean, etc.
So let's continue What does Shchibal mean??
Shchibal- is an expression of strong emotions, ranging from surprise and admiration to strong anger
Example:
Spilled soup on his trousers - Shchibal (sadness).
A car sprayed on the street - Shchibal (anger).
He sat down on his phone and crushed its screen - Shchibal (irritation).
I saw a beauty on the street - Shchibal (admiration).
- 씨발놈아! (Shi-bal-nom-a!) - it means, "You motherfucker!"
- 아, 씨발... (Ah, Shi-bal...) - it means, "Ah, shit..." Or "Ah, fuck..."
I've never had a Korean dictionary because I use two textbooks (" Korean for Dummies" and "First Steps in Korean"). Consequently, my understanding of grammar is quite decent, while my vocabulary leaves much to be desired. The people who help me learn Korean are usually colleagues and random people I meet sometimes. However, not many of them express the desire to talk about genitals or excrement.
The problem is that I always needed to write things down and say them out loud for me to really understand. I'm terribly paranoid, I think people are either lying or I'm too stupid and I misunderstood them, and so I have to check. Consequently, the occasional swear words I hear tend to fall on deaf ears. If I can't see the spelling or hear a clear pronunciation, I remain skeptical.
But then he appeared Google Translate, and my new laptop with a Korean keyboard! Suddenly, any time I need to know a word in Korean, or find out Russian meaning for something, I just have to ask Google. First of all, I tried to translate in the translator all the bad words that I remembered, because I always doubted their correct meaning.
The very last word I heard was " Shchibal" 씨발, I thought it was spelled 시발. It apparently means "fuck", but I also thought it meant something more, but not in a literal sense, like "bastard". they are usually followed by the equivalent " fuck your swearing b" or, alternatively - " Son of a bitch", but again the translator helped me get my bearings. I think it's something like this though: 씨발 개새끼 (fucking bastard).
After reading this article, you will now know What does Shchibal mean? in Korean, and you won’t get into trouble again if you suddenly find this curse word again.
