From Call Me Maybe lyrics by Saya (True Beauty Ost) above, we catch several interesting terms to breakdown the meaning. Letโs learn below.
1. ๊ถ๊ธํด์ ธ (Gunggeumhaejyeo)
๊ถ๊ธํด์ ธ (Gunggeumhaejyeo) derives from the base form ๊ถ๊ธํ๋ค (gunggeumhada). It means to be curious about something or someone. This term is found in line ๋ค๊ฐ ๊ถ๊ธํด์ ธ (Nega gunggeumhaejyeo). ๋ค (Ne) refers to โIโ followed by subject particle -๊ฐ (-ga). This line implies that โI am curious about youโ. Sometimes in Korean, itโs fine to eliminate object โyouโ in a sentence. However, it doesnโt change the meaning of its sentence since itโs obvious that subject โIโ is talking to object โyouโ.
2. ๋์ด์ (Duriseo)
๋์ด์ (Duriseo) is basically from the word ๋ (dul) that means โtwoโ. Meanwhile, suffix -์ (-seo) actually has no exact meaning in English. Its function is used to indicate โjust the two ofโฆ.โ. We can find this term in line ์ค๋ ๋ฐค ๋์ ๋ ๋์ด์ ๋ ๋ (Oneul bam neowa na duriseo ddeona). ์ค๋ ๋ฐค (Oneul bam) means โtonightโ. ๋ (Neo) means โyouโ followed by ์ (wa) as word connector โandโ. ๋ (Na) means โIโ. ๋์ ๋ (Neowa na) means โyou and Iโ or we can simply say โusโ. ๋ ๋ (Ddeona) derives from the base form ๋ ๋๋ค (ddeonada) that means to leave or go. So, ๋์ด์ (duriseo) is used to emphasize โjust the two of usโ. It is simply just the two of us who go somewhere tonight, no one else.
3. ์์ญ์ฌ์ค (Soksakyeojwo)
์์ญ์ฌ์ค (Soksakyeojwo) derives from ์์ญ์ด๋ค (soksakida) which means โwhisperโ. It is found in line Baby ๋ด๊ฒ๋ง ์์ญ์ฌ์ค (Baby naegeman soksakyeojwo). We could translate ๋ด๊ฒ (Naege) to โfor meโ or โto meโ. It is added by particle -๋ง (-man) as an adverb that means โonlyโ. So, we get the point that I want my lovely one or my crush whisper to me only.
4. ์ค๋ ๊ฒ (Seollege)
์ค๋ ๊ฒ (Seollege) is basically formed by ์ ๋ ๋ค (seolleda). It literally means to be excited or thrilled. However, since we use this term in a romantic context, we could use another words like โmake my heart flutterโ. The meaning is deeper than its lexical meaning. We find this term in line ๋ ๋ค์ ์ค๋ ๊ฒ ํด์ค (Nal dasi seollege haejwo). ๋ (Nal) is shortened from ๋๋ฅผ (nareul) which refers to โmeโ. ๋ค์ (Dasi) is Korean adverb for โagainโ. So, the point of this line is you (my crush) simply make me excited so that my heart flutter again.
