ㄳ / ㄱㅅ 감사합니다 Thank you
ㄳ / ㄱㅅ 가속 Accelerate - used on some message boards to artificially increase the number of replies or keep the thread alive. (I don't think any Korean would use ㄳ this way.)

ㅎㅇ 하이 Hi
ㅂㅇ 바이 Bye

Text Message Style

Since many young people are so used to typing text messages in a different way, typing proper Korean can sometimes make the person sound serious or angry. Many young people use a style that is considered more cute. However these should not be used in formal conversation, people who you have a formal relationship with and elders (cases vary).

Style/form Comment
A/V + ㅁ/음 (instead of A/V + (으)면) This is not to be confused with the real grammar pattern A/V + (으)ㅁ which turns a adjective or verb into a noun.
  • 일찍 끝남 전화할게 → 일찍 끝나면 전화할게 (If I finish early, I'll call you)
  • 시간 있음 만나자 → 시간 있으면 만나자 (If you have time, let's meet)
Simple spelling Examples:
  • 맞아 → 마자
  • 싫어 → 시로
응 substitutions Using 엉, 웅, 앙, 옹, 읭, 잉 instead of 응 (low form of 'yes'). These forms are supposed to be more 'cute.'
Adding ㅇ as the 받침 to words. Young people often add ㅇ as the 받침 to words at the end of sentences without a 받침.

Examples:

  • 오빠! → 오빵!
  • 일찍 만나자 → 일찍 만나장
Substitutes for ~요 ~여, ~염, ~엽, ~욘, ~용 , ~효 = Substitutes for ~요 at the end of sentences.

Examples:

  • 잘 자요 → 잘 자여
~셈 Substitute for ~십시오 & ~세요.

Examples:

  • (to be added)
삼, ~3 Substitute for ~습니다 and 세요. 삼 is the pronunciation for the Sino Korean number three, so 3 can be used as well.

Examples:

  • 소주 주세요 → 소주 주삼
Using ㅅ instead of ㅆ (as 받침) Examples:
  • 했어 → 햇어
  • 먹었어 → 먹엇어

(Note: This is usually just a typo.)

Spelled as pronounced Some words are spelled the way they are commonly pronounced.

Examples:

  • 뭐 → 머 / 모
    • 뭐 해? → 머 해?
    • 뭐 해? → 모 해?
  • 줘 → 조
    • 물 좀 줘 → 물 좀 조
  • 봐 → 바
    • 내일 봐 → 내일 바
  • 되 / 돼 → 대
    • 안 돼 → 안 대
쥐 instead of 지 Sometimes 쥐 is used instead of 지 to sound more cute.

Examples:

  • 인사해야지 → 인사해야쥐
음 words Words like 다음, 마음 become just 담 and 맘.
~긔 instead of ~고 Sometimes ~구 is used instead of ~고 to sound more cute.

Examples:

  • 잘 자고(잘 자구) → 잘 자긔 for Good night!
쩝 Noise used when 겸연쩍을 때
풉 Noise used for laughter, used when 어이없을 때 (especially when girls are)
