Love, romance, and love stories of all kinds sure are popular in Korea. However, using the language in the right way to express your love can be a little tricky.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Pronunciation Guide<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, let\u2019s take a look at the word itself to discover how it should be pronounced. <strong>\uc0ac\ub791<\/strong> is made up of two-syllables, \u2018sa\u2019 and \u2018rang\u2019. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Sa\u2019 is pronounced like the \u2018sa\u2019 at the end of \u2018Medusa\u2019 but \u2018rang\u2019 is a little more difficult to describe in English. The Korean consonant <strong>\u3139<\/strong>, called rieul, is pronounced like a cross between an R and an L. Instead of pronouncing \u2018rang\u2019 with a rising intonation, like the \u2018rang\u2019 in \u2018orangutan\u2019, try to keep the vowel sound flat, making it sound closer to \u2018rung\u2019, as in I called someone. Put both together and you will be pronouncing <strong>\uc0ac\ub791<\/strong> like a native.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, let\u2019s look at how to construct basic sentences about things that we love. As BTS is currently dominating the world, it seems only natural to use the group in our example sentences. If you\u2019re looking for sentences to describe BTS, then your job is done!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Say \u201c\uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694!\u201d<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve learned a little bit of Korean, you will know that there are various forms of the language depending on formality. We\u2019re going to look at each level of formality so you can choose the expression that best fits your situation. Let\u2019s bring BTS out and say a few nice things, shall we?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The basic form of \u2018I love you BTS\u2019 is <strong>\ub098\ub294 BTS\ub97c \uc0ac\ub791\ud55c\ub2e4<\/strong>. If you want to sound a bit more natural, you could say <strong>\ub098\ub294 BTS\ub97c \uc0ac\ub791\ud569\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>. If you want to sound friendly, consider writing or saying <strong>\ub098\ub294 BTS\ub97c \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694<\/strong>. This is the most commonly heard love related sentence in Korean, saranghaeyo!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to get a bit more specific about your love for BTS, you could say <strong>\u201cBTS \ub2f9\uc2e0\ub4e4\uc744 \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694\u201d.<\/strong> Here, the only difference is <strong>\ub2f9\uc2e0<\/strong>, which means \u2018you\u2019. The difference between <strong>\ub098\ub294 BTS\ub97c \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694<\/strong> and <strong>BTS \ub2f9\uc2e0\ub4e4\uc744 \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694<\/strong> is simply the difference between \u201cI love BTS\u201d and \u201cI love you BTS\u201d, which sounds a little bit nicer, don\u2019t you think!<\/span><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-176597312 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Untitled-design-7-1.png\" alt=\"\u201cI love you\u201d in Korean \u2013 a How-to Guide\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Untitled-design-7-1.png 700w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Untitled-design-7-1-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Untitled-design-7-1-600x257.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, note here that this sentence uses <strong>\ub4e4<\/strong>, which indicates a plural, as BTS has many members. If you want to use this sentence structure to express love for one person, simply omit the <strong>\ub4e4<\/strong>. Here is an example sentence, which professes love for a man named Jun-seo, <strong>&#8220;\uc900\uc11c\ub2f9\uc2e0\uc744 \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694!&#8221;<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, you\u2019ve probably heard Koreans dramas and songs simply state <strong>&#8220;\uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694!&#8221;<\/strong> which is also an appropriate choice as it is the Korean equivalent of \u201cI love you!\u201d and is, in fact, one of the most commonly heard phrases in the Korean language, and a lovely one at that!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Express Love for Your Partner<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, so maybe you aren\u2019t quite a fan of BTS but you\u2019re looking for a way to express your love for something or someone special in your life. Let\u2019s say you want to express love for your Korean girlfriend, whose name is <strong>\uc740\ud558<\/strong> (a pretty Korean girl\u2019s name which means \u2018galaxy). First, we need to take a look at some Korean grammar.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The importance of \ub97c and \uc744\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can see <strong>\ub97c<\/strong> in the sentence, <strong>\u201c\ub098\ub294 BTS\ub97c \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694\u201d<\/strong>, right?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is because the band name, BTS, actually ends in a vowel sound in Korean. When you express love to someone with a vowel sound at the end of their name, you need to pair it up with the sound <strong>\u2018\ub97c\u2019<\/strong>.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you love someone with a name that ends in a consonant, you will need to use <strong>\uc744<\/strong>, which sounds slightly different. Let\u2019s consider the Korean actor Park Bogum. The name Park Bogum ends in the consonant \u2018m\u2019, so we need to use <strong>\uc744<\/strong> in our sentence.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s go back to our lovely Korean girlfriend <strong>\uc740\ud558<\/strong>. Does her name end with a consonant or a vowel? You\u2019re right, Unha ends in a vowel so we need to pair her name up with <strong>\ub97c<\/strong> and now we can say <strong>\u201c\ub098\ub294 \uc740\ud558\ub97c \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694!\u201d<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s look at some examples, so you get this right!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>\ub098\ub294 Anna\ub97c \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\ub098\ub294 Park Bogum\uc744 \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\ub098\ub294 \ud558\ub298\uc744 \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Park Bogum \ub2f9\uc2e0\uc744 \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Anna \ub2f9\uc2e0\uc744 \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\ud558\ub298 \ub2f9\uc2e0\uc744 \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Anna\ub97c \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Park Bogum \uc744 \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\ud558\ub298\uc744 \uc0ac\ub791\ud574\uc694<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/en\/learn-korean-online\/?utm_source=LingQ Blog&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=blogpost&amp;utm_content=\u201cILoveYou\u201dinKorean\u2013aHow-toGuide\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-176597787 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/lingq-girl.png\" alt=\"Learn Korean online at LingQ\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/lingq-girl.png 700w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/lingq-girl-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/lingq-girl-600x257.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Import Korean Dramas From Netflix into LingQ<\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to LingQ\u2019s import feature, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/L7ijgzOVMZw\">import your favourite Korean Netflix shows<\/a> and create interactive lessons.

Korea has an event each month which is designated for celebrating love in every form.
