Korean practice

[profiterole_reads]

Here's the new Korean practice post! I've kinda run out of fun questions, so let's do an OPEN CHAT instead.

You can write about whatever you want. If you're uninspired, tell us the story of what you're currently watching/reading/playing...
You can talk to one another.
You can also correct one another. Or just indicate "No corrections, please" in your comment if you prefer.

화이팅! <3

Fence는 저도 먼저 생각했어요. 신간 많이 기대하고 있어요!

펜싱는 그 드라마에서 좋은 것 같아요. 나희도와 고유림 재미있어요. 그분들은 좀 GL 바이브 있어요. Enemies to Lovers 처럼 생각해요.

작년에는 china_shop하고 제가 Enemies to Lovers 한국어로 어떻게 말하는지 궁금했어요. china_shop의 한국 친구는 '혐관' (< '혐오관계') 말했어요. 그리고 제 한국 친구는 '적과의 로맨스' 말했어요. :D

profiterole_reads님 저한테 말해서 고맙습니다. ^^

저는 <혐관> 이해하지 않아요. <관계>는 한국어로 좀 좋은 소리 있어요? 그냥… <혐관>은 지금 저한테 enemies와 비슷하고 lovers 안 보여요. <적과의 로맨스> 더 좋은 것 같아요.

I think I’ve come to the edge of my skills with this question/discussion. Can I ask you to tell me how you understood what I just tried to say? I want to check whether I said what I think I said.

Here's how I understand what you said:
I don't understand <혐관>. Does <관계> have a positive sound in Korean? (I think you meant 의미, aka 'meaning'.) Then... <혐관> is similar to 'enemies' and I don't see 'lovers'. <적과의 로맨스> seems better.

My answer:
<관계> means 'relationship', and in fandom terms, it probably means 'romantic/sexual relationship'. If you're interested, both terms have a namu.wiki page with lots of examples (you can machine-translate them): 적과의 로맨스 / 혐관.

Thanks!

I was thinking that 혐관 translates as hate relationship and that I don’t see the contrast of enemies to lovers in it. I’m seeing the enemies bit, but not the lovers in the expression. I was then wondering whether relationship has a positive connotation (which translated to sound rather than meaning in my multilingual brain). I think this got across, however poorly?

[profiterole_reads]

Yes, it got across. 'Connotation' is 내포, but I've just learnt it, it's advanced vocab. Though I think your writing is at intermediate level. :-)
