πŸ’‘ Expression Breakdown

  • μ‹œκ°„μ΄ 금방 κ°€ (shi-gan-i geum-bang ga): “Time flies” – A natural way to say you're having such a good time that you don't notice time passing.

  • λ§ν•˜κ³  싢은 게 μžˆμ–΄ (mal-ha-go shi-peun ge iss-eo): “I have something I want to say” – Often used before confessing something important or emotional.

  • κ²°ν˜Όν•΄μ€„λž˜? (gyeol-hon-hae-jul-lae?): “Will you marry me?” – Super casual and romantic; literally “Will you do marriage for me?”


🧧 Culture Tip

  • In Korean proposals, especially among younger couples, it's common to propose in a more 감성적인 (emotional, sentimental) way than flashy.

  • Some couples even skip the official proposal and decide together over time, but a cute surprise moment like this still melts hearts πŸ’—

  • The word 평생 (pyeong-saeng) means “for a lifetime,” which carries strong emotional weight and is often used in romantic vows.
