From NCT U Make a Wish (Birthday Song) lyrics above, letโ€™s learn some interesting terms or phrases:

1. ๋– ๋‚˜๋ ค (Tteonaryeo)

Image Source: Emma McArthur blog

This derives from the base form ๋– ๋‚˜๋‹ค (tteonada) which means to leave, depart, or go off. ๋– ๋‚˜๋ ค (Tteonaryeo) more indicates an informal expression. To form a formal and polite sentence, we use ๋– ๋‚˜์‹ญ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค (tteonasimnida). ๋– ๋‚˜๋ ค (Tteonaryeo) is found in the first line and related to the second line. By combining first two lines, we get the point that subject โ€˜meโ€™ asks other to leave from the current place together since they have something in common: hearts. It implies that they have the same purpose so they can leave for somewhere together.

2. ๋ถ€์กฑํ•˜์ž–์•„ (Bujokhajanha)

๋ถ€์กฑํ•˜์ž–์•„ (Bujokhajanha) defines something that is not enough. The line ์‹œ๊ฐ„์ด ๋ถ€์กฑํ•˜์ž–์•„ so now we on our way (sigani bujokhajanha so now we on our way) means that we donโ€™t enough time or our time is running out so we are now on our way to go (์‹œ๊ฐ„ = time). This line explains the previous line ๊ฒจ์šฐ ๊ทธ๋Ÿฐ ๊ณ ๋ฏผ์€ ๋‹ค์Œ๋ฒˆ์—๋‚˜ ํ•ด (Gyeou geureon gomineun daeumbeonena hae) which means if we want to worry about something, we could do it next time since we donโ€™t have enough time to worry this time. So, itโ€™s better to go now.

3. ์„œ๋‘˜๋Ÿฌ (Seodulleo)

Image Source: Dr Squatch Blog

์„œ๋‘˜๋Ÿฌ (Seodulleo) is an imperative form of ์„œ๋‘๋ฅด๋‹ค (seodureuda) which means to be hurry. So ์„œ๋‘˜๋Ÿฌ (seodulleo) is used to suggest or ask someone to be hurry up.

4. ์‹œ์ž‘๋์–ด (Sijakdwaesseo)

Image Source: Easy Spanish Tistory

This phrase derives from the base form ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•˜๋‹ค (sijakhada) which means to begin followed by suffix ๋๋‹ค (dwaetda) which indicates present perfect form. So we can say that the meaning is more like โ€˜has beginโ€™.

5. ํ•„์š” (Piryo)

We can find this word from the line ํ•„์š” ์—†์–ด no more sign ya. ํ•„์š” (piryo) means โ€˜to needโ€™ while ์—†์–ด means nothing or none. In order to get the sense of this sentence, we need to breakdown that line into 2 phrases. It indicates that subject โ€˜Iโ€™ doesnโ€™t need object โ€˜youโ€™ so he/she doesnโ€™t need the sign any longer.

6. ์‹ฌ์žฅ (Simjang)

Image Source: ์ด์‹ญ์„ธ๋“ค YouTube

This one probably sounds familiar as it frequently appears in K-drama or movie dialogue. ์‹ฌ์žฅ (Simjang) means heart while ์ฟต์ฟต is an onomatopoeia or the sound made if your heart beats so fast like โ€˜boomโ€™. We use this term as an expression of our emotional feeling when we see our crush or think about him/her. Later, it is shortened to ์‹ฌ์ฟต (simkung) and becomes popular slang in Korean.
