How come Korean people don't have a full Korean language?
By:answers.yahoo.com

Korean is so weird. Did you know that half of the Korean language is in English??

I asked my friends or people from Korea how to say these words in Korean and it is exactly the same as English. It's funny because English has a translation for EVERYTHING!

fork
radio
cellphone
game
golf
visa
truck
computer
cd
giving tip
alarm
banana
pop
hip hop
alternative
action
comedy
drama
card
ink pen
victory
battery
guitar
piano
notebook
check
tape
keypad
poster
paint
printer
rocket
light
shampoo
hairspary
etc. etc. etc.....

there are hundreds and hundreds more. I have a whole list of all kinds of words that takes up 20 notebook papers front and back. none of them can be translated in the Korean language.

Why is the Korean language limited half way?

and why do they choose the English language to substitute for the missing words instead of creating them as they come?

microwave
dryer
shower
parking lot

americans have their trendy words and slangs too, but they wil always have the "proper terminology" for EVERY word.

here are some more..

night club
fax
stairs
click
display
showcase
sale

so many simple words but no translation..

HOW CAN YOU HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL COUNTRY WITH NO LANGUAGE?
