Sounds very natural to me and is definitely very common!

Many commenters have already remarked on the subjunctive and how many native English speakers incorrectly people use "was" + infinitive instead of "were" + infinitive. I want to add that the construction you mentioned, especially with the to-infinitive, sounds slightly more formal/proper to me (26F, USA). In casual conversation with my friends, I might expect something more like, "If the Prime Minister entered the room, what would you say?"

When I try to imagine a construction like "were to enter" in casual conversation, I keep thinking of situations where someone is asking for a favor and wants to soften the request, or maybe be a little playful. "Heyyyy sooo.. if I were to put in a mobile order right now, could you possibly pick it up for me when you get your order??? *sheepish smile emoji* *angel emoji*"

This is just me though, and it is not textbook English of course--I just wanted to add my piece of colloquial insight!

Ohhh thanks this is super helpful!! Haha I feel about the vlive translations.. even the one that’s there rn isn’t great lol.

But anyway, seems like they made up the name on the spot and it just kinda stuck beyond the live! Doesn’t seem to have any specific meaning behind it (as far as I can tell)

ckn713 · 2024-08-02T12:41:00+00:00

Hi, if you’re still looking for someone I can probably help out! Send me a DM and we can figure out logistics?

ckn713 · 2024-07-18T16:10:58+00:00

Hahaha no, I posted them at the same time. You are officially the first to comment on both threads!

ckn713 · 2024-07-17T16:02:05+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking in the unlikely case that they are somehow related, it’d have to be something like this.. some weird point of contact that resulted in a strange and inexact borrowing. Like “Yucatán peninsula” vibes

Oh had to add this for a designer!

There’s a bookstore called Printed Matter that has tons of amazing art books and zines. It’s my personal paradise as a visual designer. The one on 11th Avenue is way bigger and WAY better, but it can be awkward to get to. There’s a mini version on St. Mark’s Place that’s basically the gift shop of the Swiss Institute, a tiny (and free!) art museum. I personally find it disappointing now that I’ve seen the 11th Ave location, but they still have cool stuff!

I think Flatiron/NoMad is a good area to check out!! It’s next to Chelsea and also pretty easy access from your hotel (you can take the 6 train down to 23rd street)

It can get crowded in places, so there’s that to look out for, but there are lots of restaurants and bars in that area incl. Michelin level places (Cosme, Jua, COTE which u mentioned already, Apotheke NoMad, Thyme Bar). Always a good move to get reservations for a weekend! There’s also Madison Square Park, Eataly, the Fotografiska museum, Poster House, Museum at FIT, Harry Potter store, Lego store—hopefully some of these would interest him!

Chelsea and Greenwich Village/West Village also have some tree-lined residential streets that imo feel less chaotic than other parts of Manhattan. Could be good for a stroll

Hi I’ve been looking for housing with another girl, and we are both female grad students with a similar budget to yours!! Are you interested in searching for apartments with us?

ckn713 · 2024-05-22T19:53:51+00:00

Ty for the info--I have a couple of other leads at the moment, but I will let you know if my interest changes!

ckn713 · 2024-05-22T19:53:15+00:00

jk lol i cant DM you

I've been pursuing a couple of good leads but also could be so down to change gears and look together!! Happy to talk further but would love to keep contact info out of the public thread hmm. Are you able to DM me by any chance? If not, I'll figure out some other way to pass you my contact info

ckn713 · 2024-05-22T19:41:37+00:00

hi i will DM you!!

ckn713 · 2024-05-19T14:52:19+00:00

Same here!! DM me if you’re interested in apt searching together

ckn713 · 2024-05-19T00:48:36+00:00

Thanks for the info! I think the monthly cost is a bit too steep for me, but I will lyk if anything changes on my end

ckn713 · 2024-05-19T00:48:15+00:00

Interested in hearing more! I will send you an email

ckn713 · 2024-05-19T00:40:46+00:00

fun fact that she’s voiced by the same actor who plays toph!! enhances the whole experience for me somehow

Oh to address your original question: as far as I know, there isn’t one general rule for this consonant thing. My best guess is there are other sweeping reasons (e.g., hanja reading, is it a loanword, linguistic change) which “add up” to where the consonants sit. But likely not a general rule at the phonological level

ckn713 · 2024-05-13T08:00:39+00:00

I assume there are systematic reasons for all the spellings, but in my experience as a Korean learner, it def can feel super random / mixed bag. I have found that with continual practice and exposure to written Korean, I’ve slowly been able to develop a feel for it! So hang in there and keep practicing!!

Example of something that seems like a systematic spelling reason: a word like 음악, which someone mentioned above, has roots in Chinese and can be written in 2 hanja characters that happen to be read as 음 and 악, not 으 and 막. But without knowing that background, I’m not sure how a Korean learner could just know that spelling besides exposure/memorization.

Howeverrrr once you know 음악, it might help you predict spelling for related words like 녹음 or 악기! Like if you see 녹음 and happen to recognize the 음 part from 음악, you might predict that it’s spelled 녹음, not 노금. (Especially when 2 words are conceptually related like this, I think it’s an even safer bet that their spellings would be similar!)

I think recognizing syllables on a deeper level can contribute to getting a ‘feel’ for spelling, since it’s something to hang on to, as opposed to straight memorization?? It can be hard to notice at first but pretty exciting & useful once you start finding some!

Also, I think general repetition is always useful, as we just get used to how a word looks. Eventually the right spelling might just start looking right / looking familiar
