Here's a new Korean with Kpop lesson!
Pretty appropriate since its been a long time, right? ;)
오랜 - a long time
<-- root word
(o-raen)
오랜만 - a long time
<-- the difference is hard to explain, but when you're saying 'it's been a long time' you use this.
(o-raen-man)
It can come in many different forms:
오랜만이야
오랜만이에요
오랜만네
Most commonly: 오랜만이네요! - its been a long time/long time no see!
(o-raen-man-i-ne-yo!)
Here are some examples to help you practice!
1. 0:09 안녕 오랜만이야 - hello, its been a while
(an-nyeong o-raen-man-i-ya)
2. 1:48 오랜만이죠? - its been a long time, right?
(o-raen-man-i-jyo)
3. 0:16 안녕 오랜만이야 - hello, its been a while
(an-nyeong o-raen-man-i-ya)
