나이
Grammar Meaning & Usage
नेपालीमा व्याख्या(Nepali Explanation)
나이 को अर्थ हुन्छ: ‘उमेर’। कोरियन भाषामा उमेर बताउनलाई शुद्ध कोरियन अंक प्रणालि प्रयोग गरिन्छ (하나, 둘, 셋, 넷) र 살 भन्ने शब्द राखिन्छ जसको अर्थ वर्ष भन्ने लाग्दछ।
कोरियनहरुले तपाईलाई पहिलो भेट मै तपाईको उमेर सोध्दा अचम्ममा नपर्नु होला, यो कोरियाको संस्कारमध्यको एकमा पर्दछ।
कोरियामा वरिष्टताको संस्कार (서열문화, hierarchy culture ) भएको कारणले उमेर सोधेर को ठुलो र को सानो भन्ने छुट्याउदछन्।
English Explanation
Age is counted using the pure korean number system, i.e. 하나, 둘, 셋, 셋 and 살, which means 'years' at the end. Don't get offended if Koreans ask your age, as it is part of their culture. They do so because of 서열문화, which means hierarchy culture.
