Correction , you may have meant " All Western" thing. Except maybe Russian because I think the Russian alphabet since they're proximity to Korea might be closer however most western Nations not just the English would be perplexed. Turkish Turkey may be the only Western/Middle Eastern languages that can identify with Korean vowels. Please correct me if I sound stupid saying that.
@@danilapolesciuk4316 agreed but unlike Latin both Korean and Russian have a word for no. Korean I think is more Turkish when it comes to sounding pronunciation of the alphabet but that's another subject. Just like Portuguese sounds more Russian spoken, and they are at entirely different ends of the European continent and had no contact with each other. And Portugal literally is the most Western European Nation, however their vowels and cosanents soud Russian or vice versa. If you ever hear Portuguese in it's pure tongue spoken sounds almost Russian. And nothing like their neighbors immediately the Spanish of Spain.
9:20 That's how Korean is written, they're written in blocks for each syllable, and it's really quite easy to learn. Their writing system was entirely designed to be easy for anyone to learn.
Modern Korean is written with syllable blocks. Each block starts with 1 consonant (or sometimes a doubled consonant), then has 1, 2, or 3 vowels, and then finishes with 0, 1, or 2 consonants. The individual block is read left to right and top to bottom, and then the blocks collectively are read left to right. In that example the first block was “Ko” (코) and the second block was “nan” (난) resulting in 코난 (“Ko-nan” or “Conan”). The writing system is actually very easy, what’s difficult is that they have more base vowels than we do in English and frequent diphthongs and even triphthongs.
Especially after being in JYPs music video with the guy from the walking dead........i think his name is Steven Yoon (I don't think I spelled it right)
@@eddiek8179 yea I'm working on my spelling with Korean words. It can be a little tricky. I'm in the beginning stages of learning Korean and sometimes the English spelling makes it more confusing
Each block in Korean is a syllable. The top and bottom of a block are the start and ending sounds, so the ㄴ for N are on the top and bottom connected by a vowel ㅏ
Conan started his show in the early 90's. He even said nobody thought he'd succeed, but he's funny as hell 😃. Yesterday I watched him write a song in Memphis on RUclips and it was hilarious! You guys would like him learning etiquette in Japan. Woman just aren't shy about not liking him and of course he eats it up. Poor guy. So much of his material to get into. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
If you watch Conan's early talk shows, he comes off nervous and a bit "stiff". Its crazy how much he developed into a natural in front of the TV. So funny!
Korean writing is done by grouping "letters" in to syllables where "letters" are read left to right, then top to bottom. 'O' is always below and 'A' always on the right.. so 코 = Ko (or Co), 난 = Nan.
Dave had it - in Hangeul, the Korean writing system, the phonetic bookstaves are used to form syllabaries which are read top to bottom, or top to right-side to bottom-left to bottom-right if 4 bookstaves are used. The first symbol there is "k'ō" the second is "nan". Daz is right about the 'L' looking symbol representing the English "n" sound. Daz is also correct, what is rendered by 코난 would be pronounced as "k'ō-nan" but we don't actually pronounce the 'a' in his name as 'ah', but as a reduced vowel like "i" "konin". That short 'i' sound doesn't exist in Korean, so the closest approximation would be "k'ō-nen" pronounced with an 'eh' sound written as 코넨
@@thevannmann What you say is true, yet in the name Conan, the 'a' is not a schwa sound, it's a short i as in 'bin', i.e. /kʰoʊ.nɪn/ (American) or /kʰəʊ.nɪn/ (UK). I've never heard anyone pronounce his name /kʰəʊ.nən/
I keep wanting to watch people react to Conan and you guys are delivering lately, thanks! hope you keep going and do a bunch of the Jordan Schlansky videos.
I've watched Conan here and there forever but never appreciated him as much as I do now until I watched your channel. Ain't the first one I've come to discover/appreciate since I subscribed over a year ago. Cheers and keep it going!
I like what Mike's done with his hair. Very now, very hip. I see the comments getting loaded with happy viewers. Conan's a long, wildly entertaining rabbit hole, like "Conan Books a Commercial", & more. Look forward to all you're doing with him. Have a great day, TOB 👍✌️
This is the one I've recommended a few times, it's easily a favorite, along with his other remotes like American Girl Doll, commercial actor, Civil War reenactment, Japanese etiquette, soul food restaurant, and I could go on and on.
This is why Korean is one of the easiest Asian languages to learn for English speakers. Their whole system is based around sounds and syllables and every pronunciation is so distinct.
Traditionally, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese are written vertically in columns going from top to bottom and ordered from right to left, with each new column starting to the left of the preceding one.
1 down 2 to go. Once daz and dave complete their transition it’ll be like the infinity stones coming together and we’ll finally have world peace with the new and improved office blokettes!! 💅💁🏼♀️
it's one of, if not the most, easiest writing systems and alphabets to learn. I would encourage anyone interested to look up 'Hangul' - an alphabet invented by one king to help his people read and write.
The Japanese also do that to pronounce foreign words or concepts or products phonetically. I lived in Japan for 3 years and here is my name in katakana one of the four forms of writing in Japanese. ロバートノックス
You should react to Conan learning and playing new video games! There is a video game series he does from his Conan show. It is HILARIOUS him and a celebrity guest playing new video games!
Nice top, Mike. Conan in Greenland would be great after more Conan in Korea. Actually all his remotes are great. A soul food restaurant, Mexico, Germany, New York and more.
Its amazing "Crowbar" only was popular i their home country of Cabsda. They followed their predecessors and created their own band after spending time as Ronnie Hawkins' back up group..."The Hawks". Of course "The Band" was "Crowbars'" predecessors.

It is made with ground exoskeleton of sea creatures like shrimp and crab, and now I am allegic to beer wine and shellfish. And I cannot drink liquor. So I moved to WA in the US where something else was legal and non allergenic.
This was pretty funny but Conan did a whole trip in South Korea. You guys have to react to the video where he went with Steven Yeun from The Walking Dead to a Korean Spa. Fucking hilarious stuff.
Conan had some great interviews with norm... there's one where it's a combination interview with Courtney Thorne Smith and norm and norm steals the show ripping on her
The meanie Korean lady spelled Conan's name correctly. The first letter, is actually 2 letters. The "ㄱ" is a K-sound and it's underlined with "__" which makes an "uh" sound. Below that is the symbol "ㅗ" which makes an "O-sound". then you look up at the first "ㄴ" which makes an N-sound, to the right of that is the symbol "ㅏ" for an Ah-sound, then down to another "ㄴ" which is an N-sound. So, it's (K-uh)-O-N-Ah-N. 🙃

Chinese and Japanese can be written up to down and left to write. Up and down is the traditional way. I believe the same can happen with Korean but I am not 100% sure. Yes, Arabic is written right to left.
![Chino Pacas - Modo Capone (with Drake & Fuerza Regida) [Video Oficial]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zjv8TQ0gBkg/mqdefault.jpg)
Them thinking the Korean alphabet works the same as the English one is the most British thing.
To be fair the o sound written like that, to them, seemed very similar to the n. The way she wrote ㅗ made it look similar to ᄂ which confused them.

Ah, so it's syllables not each letter...interesting.
I think that's the concept behind sign language 🤔
Yes Hangul is alot easier than people think
Also the characters are suppose to be represention of how to form your mouth when prounounce the letters.
Hangul is easy to learn, it's just distinguishing words that's difficult. At least to me. 🙂

I believe Korean has the only alphabet that is written that way. Also the only alphabet that's design was officially commisioned
React to Conan Catches Jordan Schlansky Coming In Late. And there are multiple episodes with Schlansky. They were hugely popular at the time.
or anything with sona or his other staff is great
Jordan being late is great but them in Italy I the best because as hard as he tries to Jordan just can't keep a straight face.
Oh shit I forgot about Jordan. I'm 'bout to binge those videos.
Conan catches Jordan Schlansky coming to work late on Friday is gold
Conan is extremely popular in Korea. In part, due to this segment and many others before this. He's like a rock star over there.
Especially after being in JYPs music video with the guy from the walking dead........i think his name is Steven Yoon (I don't think I spelled it right)
@@flovonnejohnson707 So true. It's Steven Yeun, by the way. The pronunciation of the name based on your spelling is spot on.

She definitely made it a whole lot better.🤣😂
All the bits with his assistant and with producer Jordan are really good
I've watched this so many times and it just never gets old.
Pretty sure they’ve done that

The closest to the schwa sound in Korean is 으 (eu) or 어 (eo).

also his clueless gamer vids
I love watching people discover conan. Thank you guys so much! :)
This shit is gold. The whole Korean episode is amazing.
Any of the Conan abroad bits are so brilliant! MORE PLEASE!

Conan in Japan is a great one too.
Mike looks even more different this time! He must be exploring hairstyles in this new "phase" of his life.
he's also really talking about pornstars in this one as well
Sending my love and support to Mike from Portland ( yes that Portland). I'm really proud of you 👏.
The 1860’s baseball bit he did is amazing. He’s even said it’s one of his favorites he’s done.
He said he wants that video played at his funeral to show his favorite memory doing "Late Night w/ Conan O'brien"
She wrote it right. It says Ko nan. 코 (ko) 난 (nan) The letters combine together into syllables.
I cant wait to see you guys react to "old timey baseball" and "Conan auditions for tv commercials" yall r gonna die lol
OB Mike looking cute today
Conan at the Korean Spa with Steven Yeun is amazing!
I like what Mike's done with his hair. Very now, very hip.
I see the comments getting loaded with happy viewers.
Conan's a long, wildly entertaining rabbit hole, like "Conan Books a Commercial", & more.
Look forward to all you're doing with him.
Have a great day, TOB 👍✌️
Wasn't sure it was Mike until I heard £1.50
Hearing that convinced me its him
This is one of my favorites from his travel videos! He’s hilarious!
Conan was a writer for the Simpsons --- one of his most famous episodes the monorail episode
I love the Conan remotes lol just random ones like when he went to a dance studio were so funny
Japanese can be written vertically as well. Phonetic alphabet isn't 1:1 with English. It takes 3 characters to write Conan.
This is the one I've recommended a few times, it's easily a favorite, along with his other remotes like American Girl Doll, commercial actor, Civil War reenactment, Japanese etiquette, soul food restaurant, and I could go on and on.

Traditionally, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese are written vertically in columns going from top to bottom and ordered from right to left, with each new column starting to the left of the preceding one.

Like the infinity stones coming together, but with no “stones” left 😭😅
Personally love the Conan in Japan videos, especially Conan's Japanese Etiquette Lesson
Yeah if they liked this one, theyll love the japanese etiquette lesson. His whole trip to japan was gold. From Conan-town to the "Rent a family" bit.
it's one of, if not the most, easiest writing systems and alphabets to learn. I would encourage anyone interested to look up 'Hangul' - an alphabet invented by one king to help his people read and write.
I really like the one where he adopts a Japanese family during his stay there. It's such a strange concept, and he just runs with it.
Mike is getting better looking by the day
Can it really be the office blokes if Mike transitions
Mike's going through an identity crisis.
The Japanese also do that to pronounce foreign words or concepts or products phonetically. I lived in Japan for 3 years and here is my name in katakana one of the four forms of writing in Japanese. ロバートノックス
Keep the Conan coming!!!
Greetings from America, Blokes!
Im loving Office bloke mike, he seemed to grow younger and Flip the switch on his genders.... Never have i met a more beautiful Mike🤣🤣

His "Clueless Gamer" series lol
@@FourFish47 YES! Thank you! I forgot the name of the series "CLUELESS GAMER"! OFFICE BLOKES NEEDS TO REACT TO SOME OF THOSE!
Nice top, Mike.
Conan in Greenland would be great after more Conan in Korea. Actually all his remotes are great. A soul food restaurant, Mexico, Germany, New York and more.
4:35 I'll never understand the behavior of correlating certain foods or drinks with weather types or times of the day, it's so odd to me lol
You should react to : "Conan & Jordan Share A Kaiseki Meal"
Such a good one. :D
Conan's stuff is not heavily scripted. That makes all the difference.
Love the Crowbar shirt, Dave! They’re so underrated.
Its amazing "Crowbar" only was popular i their home country of Cabsda. They followed their predecessors and created their own band after spending time as Ronnie Hawkins' back up group..."The Hawks". Of course "The Band" was "Crowbars'" predecessors.

Do all of his Conan Abroad bits they are all fantastic. Especially Italy and Japan because he takes Jordan Schlansky.
Yass ! More Conan
Mike now identifies as Summer Glau. Well done!
Traditionally, Korean was written in columns, from top to bottom, right to left, like traditional Chinese.

30 DEGREES 🤣 pommy crack me up I swear
She is hilarious, and adorable . 🍀👍

Mike's a sweetheart
This was pretty funny but Conan did a whole trip in South Korea. You guys have to react to the video where he went with Steven Yeun from The Walking Dead to a Korean Spa. Fucking hilarious stuff.
I only know English and Spanish but it blows my mind that 3 RUclipsrs in 2022 see this 10:00 and think it's 5 characters lol
when writing in Korean for english names it’s syllables instead of letters so 코 is co and 난 is nan
TRIUMPH the Insult Comic Dog! 🤣 If I may recommend. Triumph/Star Wars video.
Watch Conan’s Japanese Etiquette Lesson next!
You have to react to when Conan and Andy Richter learn a traditional German dance. This was on his visit to Munich.
MORE CONAN!!!!!!
I was hoping you'd do this one soon. It's so cringe but I love it!
that lovely lady made this bit :D
she put "konan" and it is only 2-symbols. So i figure the sound "Ko" and "Nan" are what the 2 symols are
Conan Plays Old Fashioned Baseball is hilarious, you guys should check it out.
Finally lol these are great.
Conan had some great interviews with norm... there's one where it's a combination interview with Courtney Thorne Smith and norm and norm steals the show ripping on her
Daz sure likes sitting closer to "Mike" now for some reason
The Cuba special was always my favorite
I like this mike better.
You should check out Conan’s commencement speech at Dartmouth University. He’s pretty hilarious in it.
Gotta do Chicago's Weiner Circle next
Korean writes clockwise, and if there is no consonant to end a syllable, then it is just down. So 고 is Ko, 난 is Nan, phonetically spelling Conan.
The meanie Korean lady spelled Conan's name correctly. The first letter, is actually 2 letters. The "ㄱ" is a K-sound and it's underlined with "__" which makes an "uh" sound. Below that is the symbol "ㅗ" which makes an "O-sound". then you look up at the first "ㄴ" which makes an N-sound, to the right of that is the symbol "ㅏ" for an Ah-sound, then down to another "ㄴ" which is an N-sound. So, it's (K-uh)-O-N-Ah-N. 🙃
No, ㅋ is a k sound, ㄱ is more a g sound like a 'voiced' k. An ㅗ vowel beneath an ㅡ vowel is not valid in Hanguel.
The Korean alphabet is phonetic unlike Chinese. There are two parts to "Conan" there - 코 'ko' and 난 'nan' to make 코난 'Konan'
Conan is the f* best
