From NCT U Make a Wish (Birthday Song) lyrics above, letโs learn some interesting terms or phrases:
1. ๋ ๋๋ ค (Tteonaryeo)
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 ๋ ๋์ญ๋๋ค (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 โmeโ 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. ๋ถ์กฑํ์์ (Bujokhajanha)
๋ถ์กฑํ์์ (Bujokhajanha) defines something that is not enough. The line ์๊ฐ์ด ๋ถ์กฑํ์์ so now we on our way (sigani bujokhajanha so now we on our way) means that we donโt enough time or our time is running out so we are now on our way to go (์๊ฐ = time). This line explains the previous line ๊ฒจ์ฐ ๊ทธ๋ฐ ๊ณ ๋ฏผ์ ๋ค์๋ฒ์๋ ํด (Gyeou geureon gomineun daeumbeonena hae) which means if we want to worry about something, we could do it next time since we donโt have enough time to worry this time. So, itโs better to go now.
3. ์๋๋ฌ (Seodulleo)
์๋๋ฌ (Seodulleo) is an imperative form of ์๋๋ฅด๋ค (seodureuda) which means to be hurry. So ์๋๋ฌ (seodulleo) is used to suggest or ask someone to be hurry up.
4. ์์๋์ด (Sijakdwaesseo)
This phrase derives from the base form ์์ํ๋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 โhas beginโ.
5. ํ์ (Piryo)
We can find this word from the line ํ์ ์์ด no more sign ya. ํ์ (piryo) means โto 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 โIโ doesnโt need object โyouโ so he/she doesnโt need the sign any longer.
6. ์ฌ์ฅ (Simjang)
This one probably sounds familiar as it frequently appears in K-drama or movie dialogue. ์ฌ์ฅ (Simjang) means heart while ์ฟต์ฟต is an onomatopoeia or the sound made if your heart beats so fast like โboomโ. 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.
