말조심

When I had lunch at a Japanese restaurant in Chicago last week, there were Korean dad and daughter chatting next to my table. Dad was talking in Korean and the daughter in English, but both were mixing the other language as well. I was barely listening to their conversation, but was surprised to hear the daughter saying to her dad "뭐라고?" I believe she just meant "what did you say?" It's so rude in Korea but it might not be in Koreatown.

By the way, Chicago's Policemen are riding on horse (말), bike or segway. So, watch out horses and others.

여러분~ "말"조심 하세요!
