Besides the classes with my Korean class teacher, the best Korean lessons come from the weekend taxi drivers. Today's lesson: 여자 친구 (girlfriend: yeoja chingu) and 남자 친구 (boyfriend: namja chingu).
Then came THIS little gem of a conversation (the italicized parts were in Korean):
"You have boyfriend?"
"Yes, yes! I have a boyfriend. He is an American ...Handsome man. Love, love, love."
"Oh... Boyfriend... kiss?"
" *Exaggerated gasp* Tsk tsk. No!"
"Oh... Boyfriend no kiss. You lesbian?"
"Ha! No! I am not a lesbian!"
"Oh... You have KOREAN boyfriend? You, Lindsay, my girlfriend! You me kiss?"
"Ha ha! No! You kiss?? My mother (would say): 'Lindsay, WHAT??' My younger sister: 'Lindsay, WHAT?? My boyfriend… Love, love!"
But, I blew him a kiss after paying him for the cab and left smiling as he repeated, "Lindsay. Beautiful. My girlfriend." :)

I love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you blew him a kiss.
