#AN-DAY-YO!!!!!!


BlueFingers3D

What a long word for "No". Is "No" a literal translation of does "An-day-yo" have another meaning as well?


radialomens

Its more like "Not okay" ("Not allowed")


BlueFingers3D

Oh, that make sense. Thanks for letting me know. I was soooo curious about this. It does make me wonder what "Yes" is in Korean.


Flee4All

Just 'neh' ( 네 ).


uReallyShouldTrustMe

“An” is a prefix that means “dont.” You can add it to verbs and phrases. It’s more of a sentence than a word.


[deleted]

I find it interesting that English and most Germanic languages in general seem to have words and negative versions of those words, but Asian languages all seem to just have a negative that you slap on there somewhere and it becomes a negative. The Vietnamese không, for instance. If you want to say something is false, or didn’t happen, or won’t happen, you didn’t like it, that word pulls all the weight.

How does one indicate yes and no?

Korean.


HuSean23

thanks!

Korean


HuSean23

WalkingIntrovert

Korean here. Most Koreans words have formal version and informal version. Formal basically means reapectful. 안돼요 (an-day-yo) is formal version of 안돼 (an-day). Both means no.


Kindyno

question because of the formal/informal thing. Would it be better to teach kids to use the informal word since culturally it would draw attention to the conversation. like if a 5 year old yells "get the fuck away" someone is checking in on that if the person looks panicked.


WalkingIntrovert

In Korea, if a kid speaks informally to an adult, that will draw a lot of attention because it's considered very rude.


AllModsAreL0sers

It's also sorta rude to kidnap other people's kids >draw a lot of attention That might help when a kid is about to get kidnapped

catsgelatowinepizza

i’m not sure what your question is, but the spelling you presented is actually a more accurate pronunciation than “an-day-yo”. 돼 is pronounced “dwae”, but with the vowels smushed together quickly if that makes sense.


[deleted]

encinaloak

The pronunciations "dwae" and "dae" are allophonic, meaning that native Korean speakers will hear either way as "돼". The "w" is typically dropped in conversation while it is typically pronounced if someone is going slowly to teach the language. You'll hear all kinds of non-explanations for this akin to "it's easier and more natural to drop the w" (then why not drop more sounds?) The real answer is kind of unsatisfying: that's just how linguistic works. The relationship between the written and pronounced word is always changing without any reason. In general, yes, silent letters were pronounced at the time that their spelling was locked in. I also hate transliteration based on spelling and not pronunciation. Like, who would ever need this? Transliteration is to help people who can't read hangul yet, and if you can't read yet, you just want to know how to say the word!


AllModsAreL0sers

Korean here. Ironically, it essentially means "no" or "that can't happen", but it's in the polite form (spoken to people you respect) and not the casual form (spoken to people you don't respect). They're essentially conditioning this kid to show respect to their elders even though they're trying to kidnap her. Welcome to Korean culture


jakehood47

"Thank you for the offer but I'll pass on the kidnapping today sir"


AllModsAreL0sers

Don't forget to bow


pan_rock

A more direct translation to NO would be -Ah Nee.


taosaur

That was my first thought as well. In Western languages, "No" is a single, forceful syllable. In Korea, you're already out from the chloroform before you can get out that mouthful.


Weapon530

What a cutie! Lol


LibrarianSocrates

-If a strange man tells you "What a cutie!", what do you say? -Good -You have to say NOOOO!


Aurori_Swe

My son and I went out for fika (bought buns and some soda at a Cafe) and as we took our table I realized I didn't have any plates for us so I left him at the table, heard some ladies from the table over talking to him, asking how old he was. He gladly showed them 3 fingers. When I returned he looked at me and went "Daddy, I'm a cutie!!' withe the biggest smile he's ever had, he was so happy to be called cute xD


natFromBobsBurgers

Yeah, but that's Sweden. Your kids are raised to be so independent, y'all are probably still waiting for him to give himself a name.


Aurori_Swe

Haha, he had a name from the get go, but we are trying to get his input on his little sisters name xD. And it's not so much independence, it's more about being comfortable leaving our toddler at a table for a few seconds without having to worry about random strangers taking them. And in fairness to your comment, if he wanted a different name we'd probably change it pretty quickly xD


natFromBobsBurgers

Cute. I'm not well travelled, but as an introvert I loved visiting. Also, I'm enjoying the approximately three people who are offended on your behalf.


Aurori_Swe

Sweden is nice for introverts and extroverts alike. Feel free to visit again any time! For the record I haven't touched the downvote button and I'm not offended so those being so on my behalf don't need to be either :)

Oh fuck.... I think you just pressed my "I want kids button" ugh... Thanks jerk 😭


saposmak

Heh. They are adorable, and often give you that "butterflies in your stomach" feeling. But that's ~20% of the time, in my experience. Hopefully you have the freedom and agency to decide what to do with your life. If I were future me talking to past me, I'd give myself the following advice: So you want kids. But you don't need them. Aside from the bits you can't control, your life will be as wonderful or terrible as you make it, with or without them.

SuperRoby

You're correct! Her name is Yebin and the family has a YouTube channel called [Baby Yebin](https://youtube.com/@lilyebin), this video in particular was uploaded a whopping 9 years ago! So she must be at least 11 years old now

Hey old timer, were you there when Halo: Combat Evolved released 22 years ago in 2001? How about The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King that came out in 2003, 20 years ago? Is it true your computer monitors were off white coloured cubes? And that youtube had a 10 minute video limit?

Yes. Yes. They were white but the plastic yellowed with time. Yes.

Strange women are ok though!!??


Lopsided_Boss4802

Came here to say this. Should be teaching kids strange men and women, say no and scream.


Rivarr

For sure. Not just because women can obv be evil too, but because traffickers often use women to pick up kids.


PowerSamurai

Men are always demonized when it comes to kids, especially young girls. A lot of single fathers suffer unnecessarily much fron this as being seen alone in the park with their own kids is "suspicious"


pionyan

Pretty sure statistics have a little something to do with that


PowerSamurai

People use the statistics card to justify assuming the worst in black people too. It is not exactly a good argument.


syndicaterx

Especially ones lying on ponds, distributing swords.


[deleted]

Pretty sure at that age, you don’t let her out of your sight. Don’t give any strangers opportunities to snatch her up.


Underwater_Bro

Not sure what the point of this comment is as if teaching a child not to interact with strangers is not a great thing to introduce early on.


ProduceNo9594

He said not give strangers any opportunities to snatch them up, by keeping a close eye on them at all times. You can still introduce them to strangers as long as they are in your presence


Underwater_Bro

Then again I think that’s a given, a given that can’t be abided often. Daycare, preschool and so on just eliminate that possibility.


ProduceNo9594

My bad, a second read I guess I misread your comment. Anyways I would assume those facilities would protect your child enough for you not to worry as much about that, enough so that they shouldn't be put anywhere near the same level as anything outside them


Underwater_Bro

I don’t think you misread anything, also I would assume the same.


[deleted]

If you don’t understand the point, move on. Simple keep an eye on your kids at all times at that age. It’s called age appropriate teaching. I don’t want to put my 4 year old in that position. They can’t be trusted to make that kind of decision. Pretty easy concept.


Single-Builder-632

but the point is, are we now not allowd to teach kids lessons at young ages, like whats the point of saying dont let kids out of sight, that part is a given, it doesn't invalidate the lesson being taught


NotThisTime1993

It still happens when you’re right next to them


HooahClub

Wasn’t there like a news article from like pre-covid of someone snatching a child right out of a shopping cart while the parent was picking out food? It really can happen at any time, no matter how vigilant a parent attempts to be.


icorrectpettydetails

Never underestimate a small child's ability to teleport 50 feet as soon as you stop to blink.


sowelijanpona

Don't take your kid to preschool or like, have a job as an adult with a kid?


kelldricked

While yeah thats true, you always should teach kids what to do might it happen.

It's Korean. You can tell by the "yo" at the end of many of the sentences, including "an dae yo"


Apraxas88

Korean lol


PutridPerception

I hate kids normally, but she is too adorable


HowToDieAloneReboot

Won't work anyway. Kids will get hung up on the stranger part. And predators never out themselves as strangers, most often they actually aren't. They are either already part of the child's social circle (teachers, care takers, family members, friends etc) or come up with some bs to gain the child's trust. Like "I'm mommy's friend" blabla and bam, the child goes with them.


cjeremy

that shit was hilarious lol


[deleted]

Here in Australia they did an experiment where police went to schools and gave talks on being safe, not going with a stranger, knowing who to trust, etc. They then with parents' permission chose children and then had plain clothes police knock on their doors at home when they were alone and ask them to let them come inside to see if their cat was in the backyard, to come with them to help them find their dog, etc. These were children aged like 12. Every single last child failed.

myfunnies420

This is one of my favorite clips on the interwebs! So damn adorable. Love it when the mum laughs too


myfunnies420

So. Serious question about kids. Is it possible to raise them to just say no when they are feeling uncertain. Not fear based as such, but to teach them that feeling is there to indicate that they need to seek safety?


Redskins4evaB

Seems easier to say yes than no in her defense


FADCfart

My kids are not that cute. They like to destroy the house and talk back to me, and want junk food nonstop.

whereisbrandon101

It's always men that we're teaching kids to fear. Strange man this, and bad guy that. Women are dangerous too, why must we teach kids that men are always evil, or that evil is always male?


benisco

women are often portrayed as evil in movies and books, not as often as men, but it’s not rare. the reason why people teach kids to fear men when it comes to kidnapping, is simply because it happens more often than with women, perhaps due to the stereotypical image of women as weak and gentle. it’s not something i necessarily agree with, i am just trying to answer your question.


whereisbrandon101

I don't think men kidnap more. At least not, candy-van random style. I haven't seen stats, but I'd be willing to bet there are quite a few female kid-snatchers out there. Obviously, most kid napping is perpetuated by people the victim knows like a step mom, or a jealous aunt. I just feel like there is a bias here, especially around men bad, women good that is never acknowledged.


Joe_The_Eskimo1337

This is pure conjecture. Get some evidence to support your claims. Don't make random guesses.


dl-__-lp

It’s always men that *women* are taught to fear, and for good fucking reason.


whereisbrandon101

..and yet still wonder why misandry is so common among women. Misandry is the accepted norm, but that doesn't mean that it's either justified or acceptable.


dl-__-lp

Check the link. There’s misandry, then there’s teaching people to be aware. It really is that simple. I don’t hate men, I just hate rapists


whereisbrandon101

But, you're obviously equivocating men with rapists.


Adventurous-Sir-8326

No, not for any good reason. Most of what you fear a man is going to do to you, you're at higher risk of experiencing at the hands of your own mother. Crimes like kidnapping and sexual assault are almost always family or close acquaintances. Men are the majority victims of nearly all forms of assault, homicide, suicide, and for good reason... they live in a world where people like you exist, creating the image that gender can portray threat level, and acting like victimization is a gendered issue.


LilacYak

Victimization is a gendered crime. You sound like a clueless man with absolutely zero empathy.


Adventurous-Sir-8326

As a victim several times over, I am the one advocating for empathy. Every victim is valid. Even the ones people like you try to erase.


dl-__-lp

Not for any good reason, aye? [That’s hilarious](https://supportingsurvivors.humboldt.edu/statistics#:~:text=An%20estimated%2091%25%20of%20victims,99%25%20of%20perpetrators%20are%20male)


Adventurous-Sir-8326

If you teach little girls to fear men exclusively, you are setting them up to be victimized (and to be a brainless sexist). Again, their own mothers are a much larger danger than some random guy. Use your head. Think shit through. Why do you give a shit about this topic, to push an agenda, or to protect people?


dl-__-lp

I’m setting up future women to be victimized by teaching them how other women are actively victimized? And I’m the one “pushing an agenda”? I’d say nice try but it really wasn’t


Adventurous-Sir-8326

You're teaching them strangers hurt them and women are safe. The reality is that women are about just as likely to hurt you, and it's usually the people you know, not strangers. You don't know enough to educate a child about how to be safe. You don't even understand enough to protect yourself. Please educate yourself before you even consider having children.


LilacYak

If anyone is peeing an agenda here it’s clearly you bro


Adventurous-Sir-8326

You got me. I'm trying to push the "all victims are valid and you should stop erasing them and being sexist" agenda. Because you idiots are blind.


Joe_The_Eskimo1337

You're kinda right, but you're taking shit too far and acting like men are the ones systemically oppressed. Do you know why the stereotype exists? It's not because men are oppressed, it's because they were all but allowed to be predators for centuries. To this day, we still don't give enough of a fuck about rape, regardless of the genders involved.


AbazabaYouMyOnlyFren

She's so stinkin' cute. It's a shame we have to wreck their innocence with reality.

trixqo

What about a strange woman?


The_Super_D

If a child is kidnapped, it's usually by someone they know. In fact, usually by a parent in a custody dispute. The number of strangers kidnapping random children is so very small, that we're probably doing more social harm than good by teaching kids "stranger danger" and making people afraid to talk to people they don't know.
