What's That Tree Called In Korean?

Gamsa-hamnida, Korea Times for this timely vocabulary lesson. BTW, the spelling for "eun-haeng na-mu" should be either "ginkgo" or "gingko".


Other phrases you may wish to try out on Koreans ( no guarantee there are no problems with the Googled-translations here!)

Update: Many thanks to sogam0, a  reader from Korea who posted corrections to  the mistakes in the Google translations. The amendments are as follows.


1. 몇살이 나무는 무엇입니까? How old is this tree?
    Correction by sogam0 as follows: 이 나무는 몇살입니까?

2. 이것은 붉은 소나무인가요? Is this a red pine? ( national tree of Korea)

3. 어떤 좋아하는 나무입니까? Which is your favourite tree?
     Correction by sogam0 as follows: 당신이 좋아하는 나무는 어느것입니까?

4. 내가이 집에 데려다 줄까? Can I take this home?
    Correction by sogam0 as follows: 내가 이것을 집에 가져가되 될까요?

5. 단지 사진을 찍어;  떠날은 발자국   Take only photos; leave only footprints.
    Correction by sogam0 as follows: 사진촬영과 산책만 허용됩니다.
                                                            (Only photos & walks are allowed.)
