오빤 강남 스타일 FTFY

[–]Raeki 16 points17 points ago

o-ppan gang-nam seu-ta-il

[–]Oneironaut2 7 points8 points ago

I've got the chrome extension that allows you to get the definition of any word by double-clicking on it, and it also has a pretty crappy translator built in.

It says that 오빤 translates to "my brother Doug."

[–]mahoganywolf 4 points5 points ago

Hmm. Google translate agrees with you there, how odd.

Incidentally, if you copy that sentence into google translate and then delete one symbol at a time starting from the right, you get:

Brother doug, gangnam style

Brother doug, gangnam star

Brother doug, gangnam off

Brother doug, gangnam

Brother doug, the river

My brother doug

Oh

It's like a strange kind of poem.

[–]somewiseperson 9 points10 points ago

I don't know why this is getting passed around so much; But clearly some things need to be stated.

it's 오빤 강남 스타일 which is in full "Oppa-Neun" a Korean phrase. "Oppa" is a Korean woman when referring to to a male that is older. Shortened the expression can be "oppan".

The full word would be "Oppa-neun Gangnam style" or "I live life in the style of Gangnam style".

If you're thinking "none of this makes any sense" you would be correct. The entire song is about being carefree and ridiculous; that is the point of the song.

[–]KrimsonTide 0 points1 point ago

Very confusing. I hope you'll understand that when it sounds like PSY is saying "Oppan" I think it sounds like that :/

[–]I_WIN_DEAL_WITH_IT 24 points25 points ago

With everyone making this correction, why the fuck do people still make the error???

[–]I_Will_Allow_This 62 points63 points ago

It's almost as if it's the words are an entirely different language or something.

[–]I_WIN_DEAL_WITH_IT 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I mean, if a Korean person makes an "n" sound, how am I supposed to know I should write "n" when trying to type the word in English?? It's all too complicated, really.

[–]Nidht 0 points1 point ago

Are sounds in a different language?

[–]Mr_James119 2 points3 points ago

Thank you! I was screaming this when I saw it.

[–]sje46 11 points12 points ago

You may take the internet too seriously.

[–]hexatriene 0 points1 point ago

I dont understand. It's 오빠 which has no N sound at the end of it. It's purely Oppa.

[–]bbctol 32 points33 points ago

It's 오빤. A shortening of 오빠는.

[–]isababa12 4 points5 points ago

No, it's because 오빤 is short for 오빠 + 는 . 는 is a particle used in hangul to give like...a property to something (can't really explain) but just think of it as "is". So if you say "오빠 강남 STYLE!", you'd be saying Older Brother Gangnam Style! But if you say "오빤 강남 STYLE!" (short for "오빠는 강남 STYLE"), then you're saying Older Brother IS Gangnam Style!

[–]hexatriene 1 point2 points ago

so 는 makes the noun it's attached to the direct object, right? Otherwise it's just ask if your were calling your older brother Gangnam Style.

[–]isababa12 1 point2 points ago

You can think of it like that. But with out the 는 particle or the ㄴ at the end, it makes no grammatical sense.

[–]10133p0p 0 points1 point ago

It's basically "is" or "am".

오빤 강남 style just means "I (PSY uses 3rd person here) am gangnam style"

[–]seafaring 0 points1 point ago

if it helps i wrote a pretty hefty thesis on 는 in korean, and it's also a 'focus' particle as well. so him saying 오빤 would make perfect sense because he's basically putting the focus on himself. by saying 오빤, he's implying that, opposed to others, he's gangnam style (while they aren't). i could go on more but i may complicate further...but yeah, definitely 오빤.

[–]TheShader -2 points-1 points ago

Same with Yen. It's actually just Ye, but for some reason the Western world puts an 'N' at the end. I think it's to make the word easier to say for us.

[–]Newfaq 5 points6 points ago

You obviously misunderstood something there. 円　or "yen" is just the syllable "en" or "えん" not "ye" as it doen't exist in the japanese writing system. Let me list the "y" syllables so we all get it... やよゆ // yayoyu. great <3

[–]TheShader 1 point2 points ago

Thanks, I don't know what I was thinking. I think my brain needed a little reset. I just woke up from a nap and my first thought was 'I think I made a mistake'.

[–]Newfaq 0 points1 point ago

hehe no worries, I can see how one could easily mix it up (:

[–]stillnotking 2 points3 points ago

In Japanese, it's "en" with no "y" sound. "Hyaku-en" = 100 yen.

[–]Sevion 1 point2 points ago

Why? How does the 'n' make it easier to say?

[–]TheShader 2 points3 points ago

Perhaps because it kind of makes it sound like an incomplete word. Like you're trying to say 'yes' or something, and left out the last letter.

[–]Sevion 0 points1 point ago

Weird. As an Asian American who spoke Cantonese for his first language, it feels fine saying "Ye," without an 'n'.

[–]facewhatface 1 point2 points ago

per my understanding, this is pretty much right. In (American) English, we don't have words that end in the vowels ɛ or e, so we need a consonant at the end. n seems to do the trick. This is basically the same reason that Japanese versions of English words have all kinds of extra vowels to bust up the consonant clusters.

[–]count_crotchula 47 points48 points ago

yeah i know, "oh my god a video. aint nobody got time that" but its pretty damn funny and relevant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPP5Bvtr2Dg

[–]Flyentologist 2 points3 points ago

It's Korea's "Call Me Maybe". It's infectious and the music video is actually pretty funny. The first time you watch it. 2 months later, the internet is still going crazy over it. I'm ready for it to go away.

Oppan is really a better transliteration... The ㅃ letter is typically represented as a double pp or bb, which makes a lot of sense considering the ㅂ is represented as a p or b. It also gives a could approximation of the pronunciation- the pp sound is made a bit more forcefully and taking a little more time than a p sound.
