110 Learning Journal #11

[Stephen Huffnagle]

For week 11, I learned basic technology terms in Korean. Since I am a computer science major, I was interested in how Koreans interact with technology, and whether they had similar terms as we did. I found that their terms are pretty similar to ours, but also have a traditional Korean bend, such as the word "download" being "daunraudu". There are other cognates, such as the word for homepage being "hompeiji", and "Internet" being "inteonet". I learned other terms, such as to browse the internet (inteonet komsek) and turn on the computer (geugi computah).
