Very Simple What Does This English Sentence Mean

What does this simple sentence mean in korean?

He called you "noona" or "nuna", which means he is younger than you. It is how a Korean guy addresses a woman older than his immediate friendship age-group, but she's still single and "young."

There are four of these terms for use to older people, all depending on gender - oppa (younger female to older male), hyung/hyeong (younger male to older male), noona, and unni/unnie/eonni (younger female to older female). They're also used by siblings or to people who have a relationship where it's been okayed to view each other as siblings.

There is no reverse that you should use for calling him, as a younger guy, you should just call him by his name. If you're part of a group that works or studies together you might call him or a younger female "dongsaeng."

There are more of these terms for use in general social situations for older people, and for use in families, and workplaces. You might want to look up "Korean honorifics" and learn them and how they're used. (Web articles are good because they give lots of examples and sample dialogues.)

And the hi-hi means "heehee" -- a giggle/laugh.

edit to add: Yes, you can laugh back by either typing either ᄏ or ᄒ and repeating it any number of times, so ᄏᄏᄏᄏ = sounds like: kekekeke and ᄒᄒᄒᄒ = sounds like: hehehehe. They're not words. Just symbolic of those sounds. You don't even need a vowel after the single letter.

Why do many English learners make sentences and phrases more complicated than they need to be? Why do they pick the most archaic and specific word when there are simple synonyms that mean the same thing, e.g. pursue vs. get?

I've been teaching English to non-native speakers for more than 30 years, so I'm very familiar with this problem.There are two interconnected reasons, I think:1) A belief, acquired from their traditional schooling, that complexity -- long words, long sentences, arcane words -- is a sign of intelligence, education and sophistication. Most educational systems throughout the world teach that communication is for impressing others, not expressing oneself.2) A failure to understand that good written English does not have the same characteristics as good Spanish, French, Croatian or what have you. Regrettably, languages are taught as if they are equivalencies: One need only memorize the new vocabulary and plug it in. (This approach explains why some self-styled experts on Quora refer to "the formula" for constructions such as verb-preposition combinations.) In fact, every language is an organic whole and mastering it requires an understanding of its ideal attributes.Accomplished writers of English aim for brevity, precision and vigor. The following are good guidelines.· Short is better than long.· Simple is good. · Avoid long, Latin-based nouns.· Embrace active verbs.Hope this helps!Note to Rowan Russell:I’m sure you thought that deleting the hyphen in English-learners was a good edit, a move toward simplicity.In fact, the hyphen is needed to capture the meaning of “persons learning English.” Your edit denotes “learners who are English.”There are few rules governing the use of hyphens, so hyphenating is often a stylistic choice. But here it’s a matter of meaning, and the hyphen used by the original questioner should stand.

What does Central Idea and Thesis Sentence mean?

thesis sentence is a statement in which you propose your answer, in a concise way, to a given question or prompt. (It should be in the introduction paragraph.)The way in which you organize your thesis sentence also determines the order of the body paragraphs that will follow.

For example if in your thesis you say "the answer to this question is A, B, and C." then your body paragraphs should go in that order.

Paragraph 1 - discusses A
Paragraph 2 - discusses B
Paragraph 3 - discusses C

THe central idea, however, is not so much a certain part of your essay is it is the overall theme and focus of your essay. Your essay should stay focused on your given topic and thesis statement so that the reader is clearly able to recognize the central theme of your essay.
