using ^^ ~ and ㅠㅠ in Korean!

USING ^^

You are probably familiar with this one. It is just the Korean version of a smiley face! 🙂

.

USING ㅜㅜ and ㅠㅠ

Cries 😥 one just has more tears than the other :””(

It can be used for sad or defeated feelings. (by defeated, I mean: 한국어 어렵다 ㅠㅠ Korean is hard 😭)

It can also be used for overwhelming feelings (like 귀엽다ㅠㅠ ITS SO CUTE)

.

USING ~

This one can be a little trickier.

This can be used in between a word to either drag it out, or indicate a change in pitch. for example, 푸~욱 can either be read as 푸우욱 or 푸 📈욱

In my opinion, it is also used at the end of a sentence to kind of give the sentence a lighter feel. for example, you often see it in a greeting “안녕하세요 ~” which is a cheery greeting or with words of encouragement “파이팅~”

.

Keep in mind that I am not a native and this is just how I have experienced it^^ Happy studying all~
