Question about 수

안녕하세요!

I was watching a Korean short story just now, and there was this sentence "저는 기다릴 수 없어요". I more or less understand what this sentence means, but I did start to wonder about the meaning of 수 in this sentence. In the dictionary, there are different meanings for it.

My question is, why is 수 in this sentence, and what does it stand for?

감사합니다!

Edit: I got the answer to my question. Thank you, everyone, for answering!

31F - Looking to talk to some new people 🏳️‍🌈

Good morning/afternoon/evening! I hope you've had a decent weekend so far!

It's Sunday morning for me currently, and I'm just listening to some music at the moment (recommended me a song to listen to!)

I'm looking to talk to people who are 25+ (and no NSFW chats). I'm from Europe but different time zones are fine.

If you send me a message, please do introduce yourself!

A little about me:

I like photography, baking, travelling, hiking, and casual gaming (I mostly play cosy games).

I enjoy watching paranormal horror movies and series (the genre doesn't matter). What was the last thing you watched and really enjoyed?

I love music and I listen to it 90% the time. I listen to most genres of music. I enjoy rock and metal a lot, and these days, I'm listening to a lot of Korean indie bands.

I adore animals, and I have 2 cats and a parrot. Do you have any pets?

I also like tattoos and have 6 of them for the time being (I'd like to have more in the future).

I like to learn languages as well, and currently, I'm learning Korean and Spanish. Are you learning any languages or like learning languages?

I am an introvert and a homebody, but occasionally, I still like to meet and talk to new people.

Have a great end of the week!

31F - Anyone interested in a chat? 🏳️‍🌈

It's late Sunday afternoon for me, and I'm planning to play a cosy game to relax a bit. I thought it would be nice to chat with someone as well. (I'm from Europe, so there can be a time difference)

Please be 25+ years old. In general, I prefer to talk to people around my age.

A little about me: I like photography, baking, travelling, hiking, casual gaming, learning languages (I'm learning Korean and Spanish), watching paranormal horror movies and series (genre doesn't matter), and I also love to listen to music (recommend me a song to listen to).

I love animals (I have 2 cats and a parrot) and tattoos.

Have a good day/night, everyone! ☺️

What is everyone up to today?

Hi there! I thought I'd get a conversation going and see how everyone is doing ☺️

Currently, it's Saturday morning for me. The weather is decent, even though it's supposed to rain later today. At the moment, I'm learning Korean while listening to instrumental rock music, and after that, I want to study Spanish a bit.

Recently, I got this really pretty wooden puzzle that I would like to put together as well.

What are you up to today? And for those that are much more ahead of me time wise, what did you do today?

31F - Anyone up for a chat?

Hey there!

Lately, I've been wanting to talk to some new people, and perhaps, if the vibe is there, then eventually even become friends..

Before I tell you a little about me, I do want to say that I'm looking to talk to people between the ages of 25 and 40. I just don't feel that I have much in common with people who are much younger than me or much older than me.

Okay, so about me:

I like photography, baking, travelling, hiking, casual gaming, working out, etc.

I like learning languages, and I'm currently learning Korean and Spanish.

I love animals, especially cats. I have 2 cats and a cockatiel!

I also love tattoos! I have 6 tattoos, and I want more 😆

My favourite thing would be music, I adore music and I listen to so many different genres. Recommend me some of your favourite songs!

I like horror movies (especially paranormal horror), and I also enjoy watching series.

I'm very much a homebody who likes to get out into nature occasionally.

Thank you for reading, and have a good rest of your day!

31F - Anyone up for a chat?

Hi there! How's it going? I've been thinking lately that I would like to talk to some new people, and if we vibe and talk long enough, then perhaps even become friends.

I'm not very good at talking about myself, but I'll do my best! Let's see...

I like photography, baking, travelling, casual gaming, hiking, watching series, and learning languages (I'm learning Korean and Spanish at the moment). I also like animals (especially cats), tattoos, horror movies (scary stuff in general), nature, and cold weather (winter is my favourite season).

I'm queer (part of the LGBTQ+ community) and an atheist.

I'm a homebody who sometimes likes to go out into nature.

If you believe we have some similarities and would get along, feel free to send me a message. However, please be 20+.

Thank you, and have a great rest of your day!

Reading practice

안녕하세요, 여러분!

I would like to improve my reading in Korean, and I've been looking for short stories for beginners and easy texts, but I haven't been able to find much. So I thought I would ask here. How do you practice reading, and have you found any beginner friendly texts for reading practice?

감사합니다!

31 F/NBFA | Looking to make some connections 🇪🇪

Hello everyone! I made a post on here about a month ago, but unfortunately, the few connections I did get ended up fizzling out. So I thought about trying again. Maybe it will be different this time. You never know unless you try, I guess... ☺️

Lately, I've been thinking more about my gender and trying to understand the change I seem to be going through. Hence, the F/NB in the title. I'm still figuring these things out, though...

A little about me:

I'm queer, childfree, an atheist, and possibly neurodivergent, and I prefer to look more masculine.

I love animals, and I have 2 cats and a cockatiel.

I really like tattoos, and I have 6 of them currently.

Oh, and I really love music. I listen to most genres of music, but rock and metal are my favourite.

I also enjoy baking, travelling, hiking, gaming, photography, watching series and horror movies, lifting weights, and learning languages.

I'm currently learning Korean and Spanish.

I am looking to connect with people, but I don't really feel comfortable talking to someone much younger than me. I would prefer if you were over 24 years of age.

Thank you for reading, and have a great day!

Hello! I'm Reelika ☺️ I'm 31 years old and I'm from Estonia 🇪🇪.

I started to learn Korean again about a month ago, and I'm really enjoying the process so far. I'm still a beginner, and I can't speak a lot of Korean yet.

I'm looking for a low-pressure language exchange. Texting throughout the week and maybe a voice call once or twice a week (on the weekends).

​

I like animals (especially cats), baking, photography, travelling, horror movies, series, tattoos, and learning languages.

Lost souls in the subreddit

I've noticed that there are more and more people on this subreddit who may be confusing asexualdating with a sexual dating. Just today, I saw a profile that was filled with adult content. Obviously, sex-favourable aces exist, but the people I'm seeing here every now and again certainly come across as not asexuals. Some of these "people" are probably bots as well..

All of this is making me hesitant to even post on here to look for a relationship. It's a shame this place doesn't feel as safe as it used to..

Hello! 안녕하세요~ ¡Hola!

I've been really wanting to meet new people lately. However, I haven't had much luck in that regard. The older I get, the harder it seems to be to find people to connect with..

A little about me: I'm a transmasculine non-binary person from Europe.

I like photography, baking, travelling, hiking, lifting weights, animals (I have 2 cats and a cockatiel), tattoos (I have 6), horror movies (paranormal horror), creepy/scary stuff in general, watching series, learning languages (I'm learning Korean and Spanish), etc.

If you're interested in talking, either send me a message or leave a comment, and I'll message you ☺️

The older I get, the harder it seems to connect with people and make friends. It seems to be even harder when you do not wish to have children, and most people around you are having kids and starting families.

I guess I'm looking for connections with people who get me, and that's why I'm on here.

A little about me: I'm a transmasculine non-binary person. I'm 31 years old and I'm from Europe.

I like photography, baking, travelling, animals (I have 2 cats and a cockatiel), casual gaming, tattoos (I have 6), lifting weights, horror movies (paranormal ones), watching series, languages (I'm learning Korean and Spanish).

If you're interested in talking, either send me a message or leave a comment, and I'll message you ☺️

안녕하세요! 저는 레리카입니다. 만나서 반갑습니다. ☺️

I've recently started to learn Korean again, and I have been improving slowly. However, I find it more fun and a lot easier to learn when doing it with another person. I do have a study session with my friend every Friday, but I'd like to find more people to study with or a native speaker who would like to do a language exchange, maybe? I'm a native speaker of Estonian, and I'm fluent in English.

I can read 한글 and I'm familiar with some sound changes rules, and I can say some basic things.

I like photography, baking, travelling, horror movies, animals, music, series etc.

I am 31 years old (1994), so I would prefer someone around my age +/- 5 years.

If you're interested in learning together or a native speaker who would like to do a language exchange, send me a message or leave a comment, and I'll message you ☺️

감사합니다!

안녕하세요~ 저는 레리카 입니다 ☺️

I've recently started learning Korean again, and it would be nice to have someone to practice with once I know enough to start speaking the language. A friendship is welcomed as well ☺️

A little about me: I like photography, baking, travelling, hiking, lifting weights, animals (I have pets), tattoos (I have 6), horror movies, casual gaming, learning languages etc. I'm 31 years old and from Europe, but the time difference isn't a problem at all!
