English Loan Words in Korean - Learn Korean with Kdramas!

This video is an introduction into English loanwords used in Korean, also know as "Konglish" (Korean-style English). Koreans have actually adopted quite a few English words, which can also be written using the Korean alphabet. Some of the most popular words which you've likely heard before are:

파이팅 / 화이팅 [paiting / hwaiting] from the English "Fighting" meaning "Good luck!", Go for it!" or "You can do it!. Note that since Korean doesn't have an "F" sound, they pronounce it as closely as possible which in this case has lead to two different spellings. Although officially the correct spelling is 파이팅 [paiting], the second way 화이팅 [hwaiting] has also become very popular.
콜 [kol] originally from the English poker term "Call" is frequently used in Korean as a sign of agreement meaning "Okay / It's a deal / Let's do it".
오케이 [okei] from the English word "Okay".
커피 [keopi] from the English word "Coffee".
데이트 [deiteu] from the English word "Date", as in to go out romantically with someone.
