Why Is 며칠 Not Written 몇일? | Korean FAQ
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- 며칠 is often misspelled as 몇일, since 몇 means “how many” and 일 means “days.” 며칠 didn’t actually come from the word 몇일, but from a different word meaning days - 을. In this video I talk about how it would be pronounced if it came from 몇일, as well as how its sound changed.

Nice video again Billy!!😍 You are such a good Korean teacher! Actually, 몇일 and 며칠 is a thing that even a lot of Koreans are confused too!! I think your video will help Koreans too haha As a Korean myself, also teaching Korean, I enjoyed watching your video👍 Let’s stay safe and learn KOREAN while we stay at home everybody 😊👋
This is exactly the type of thing I would never look up myself but that's incredibly fun to hear about. Thanks a lot!
These are the things i personally can't memorize, i have to have alot of exposure to get it into my head. Same with the sound change rules, when i first saw them in ur book i got so overwhelmed that i got sad lolol
Lolol yeah I don't even bother trying to remember them tbh. I find it easier to just remember actual vocabulary and their pronunciation and over time you'll naturally pick up the rules.
That reminds me of Korean grammar classes that I took on my university, it was so much fun, learning these things!
Thank you for the video :)
Niiice. Enjoyed it. I liked the black background and glass as well. Really cool setup.
Maybe 며츨 evolved to 며칠 because of the pronunciation. If you try to repeat 며츨 as fast as you can, it will be 며칠.
This case is similar to japanese, for example 高木 (たかぎ)
木 is き。but if you try to repeat たかき fast it will be たかぎ.
really interesting video. 감사합니다!
I am here after watching an episode of running man and was confused why they wrote 며칠 and not 몇일 in the subtitles.
잘 설명해서 감사합니다!
Billy this was such a fantastic video, taking a super simple word and breaking it down in a level of detail that advanced learners can really benefit from too. Thanks so much, would love to see more like this! Really blew my mind and now I have to apologise to one of my korean classes to whom I taught that it’s just from 몇일.... 😅
Honestly I also used to think it was from 몇일. So don't feel too bad :P
I think he teaches the beauty of Korean well! haha Thank you~ Billy!
몇일 (x)
며칠 (o)
어원이 분명하지 아니한 것은, 그 원형을 밝히어 적지 아니한다.
Thank you for this. I was looking on Naver and could not find an answer, typed it in YT and here you are again to save the day!!
I love ethymology and this video is perfect. Thank you.
You are genius. I mean literally, going this far into a foreign language is commendable. High respects for you Sir. And yes, now you've became my inspiration.
Woah I never thought of it that way! 🤯
Hey! How's it going lately?
Good as always! Looking forward to the day you can come back to Korea 😃
@@YourKoreanSaem Thanks and me too
몇을 - 며츨 - 며칠 nice nice nice, something about learning the whys of things makes it more memorable
Great video! And I really love the dark background.
As a Korean, I learned Korean grammar and the origin of sound transition from this video.
I was confused between 며칠 and 몇일.. Your explanation of the origin,
며칠 is from 몇을, is amazing! Totally new to me. Thank you!
Where have you learned Korean? I’m native Korean and currently teaching Korean to non-native Koreans. I found your video while searching resources! You have such a vast Korean knowledge!
I talk about it here: ruclips.net/video/sHhm7sAfn1o/видео.html
Thanks a lot Billy!!!! Could you make a video about the uses of the words 인생 , 생활, 목숨, 인명, 삶. They are quite confusing and look similar. I'm not able to understand their usage in different contexts. Thank you 😊☺
Thank you so much for the explanation!~
Could it possibly be that '오늘' also came from this '을'? 🤔
오늘
Maybe, but there's no way of knowing for sure. You can read more about 오늘 here: www.korean.go.kr/front/onlineQna/onlineQnaView.do?mn_id=216&qna_seq=104992
@@GoBillyKorean Thank you so much! ^^
A FAQ clarifying all of the different ways to say increase/rise and drop/lower in Korean would be nice; there's so many! Either way, love this series. #billygoats
Okay this video just helped me in remembeing this vocab. Probably unforgettable for the rest of my life
When you say 'what day is it?' (mon-fri) in Korean though, you don't usually use 몇, people say 무슨 요일이에요? But for what month is it, they use 몇 월이에요. Pronounced 며 둴이에요 like Billy said.
That's correct, because "며칠" would mean what number day it is in the month (1st, 2nd, etc.), while 무슨 요일 is what day of the "week" it is (Monday, Tuesday, etc.). 몇 월 is also what number month it is - since months are 1, 2, 3 (January, February, March).
Oh Billy did you get hair cut? look so cool!! 더 잘어울린당 🥺🥺
I filmed this video several months ago. My hair is much longer. I still need a haircut... but everywhere is closed. Should I cut my own hair?
Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean Nope!
I just learned this in my TTMIK level 2 book. Lol thank you ☺️👍🏽
This is fascinating!
That was insanely interesting :0
Interesting fun fact!
I'm not sure if you've already covered this but the use of loaned words - particularly English - in its transliterated form may be interesting. Now more than ever it seems the thing to do is to use English peppered in daily conversation yet for English-speaking Korean language learners, this can be confusing. Take for instance, 하드 the word for popsicle. I would assume that this is from the notion that a popsicle is "hard" ice cream? Don't know if this is true. Or the word for part-time work/job 아르바이트 is this German, or French in origin?
와 완벽한 설명 고마워요
저도 몰랐네요
Woaaa even my native teacher not explaining like this haha she just sayin that the new rule to ask days is now 며칠 not 몇일
Thank you, this was very interesting. I am also curious about 나머지 (I am curious if it has something in common with 남다 or maybe 넘어지다?).
나머지 is "the rest" or "the leftover (something)" and isn't related to 넘어지다. It actually originally comes from 남다 ("to be left over").
omg that was so interesting!
우와! 👍
어려운 한국어 발음 알려주셔서 감사합니다 😊
fun fact: 을 and 일 arent even related. 을 is native korean and comes from middle korean ᄒᆞᆯ/흘/ᄋᆞᆯ/을 whereas 일 is sino korean and comes from middle korean ᅀᅵᆯ("zil") which comes from middle chinese "nyit" (the middle chinese dialect korean was borrowing words from had softened 받침 ㄷ to something like the spanish "r" sound which is why middle chinese words ending in "-t" become ㄹ's in korean but japanese didnt borrow from that dialect and borrowed final "-t" as either "-ti" or "-tu" which later turned into "-chi" and "-tsu")
fun fact no.2: 오늘 (originally 오ᄂᆞᆯ in middle korean) actually comes from 온+을 to mean "the day that has come"
man you ara way better tutor as a korean to korean teacher as well lmao
hi buddy, new learner here, anyong sayo?ahihi
Im really bad when it comes to listening during exams .. can i get some solutions on how to overcome this problem??
Великолепно!
OMG you can speak Chinese as well????? whoaaa
But I read that in North Korea they write 몇일
As a native in korea, those two words kinda caught me surprised. 🙂
basically they sound the same to me, 🙂 only in context will tell u which word is used, I think.
며칠 = how many days, 몇일 = what day ?
If you watch the video, you'll see 몇일 is always incorrect. 며칠 is the only correct one.
if 굳이 is pronounced 구지 why is 어디 not pronounced 어지
어디 doesn't have ㄷ at the bottom of the first syllable like 굳이 does.
