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.

  • Using 모 or 머 instead of 뭐
  • Using 조 instead of 줘
  • 맞아 → 마자
  • Saying 엉, 웅, 앙 instead of 응
  • ~여, ~염, ~엽, ~욘, ~용 , ~효 = Substitutes for ~요 at the end of sentences
  • ~셈 - Substitute for ~십시오 & ~세요
  • ~삼, ~3 - Substitute for ~습니다 and 세요
    • 소주 주세요 → 소주 주삼
  • Adding ㅇ as the 받침 to words.
    • 맞아 → 마장
