I guess the other thing I want to know is whether there were separate courses for walking and running.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took at university.

In Korean, the expression I know (λͺ©μ²­κ») refers to vocal cords. It uses a particle that means like "to the extent possible", and so it's roughly "pushing my vocal cords to the brink".

Interesting! Thanks for the info.

I have no idea how common it is, but when I've visited Japan I've had it at Kushikatsu Tanaka, which is apparently a large chain.

As a linguist, I second this.

Are you actually writing something related to Canada-in-Korea branding? I would love to read that!

The problem with the last one just seems to be like a maxim of quantity violation. This is why I feel like "circumlocution" is not the right description of this use of κ² , despite what The Authorities say.

Does anyone know of a language anywhere in the world that has two different words for writing done by hand and writing that is printed or created by mechanical/artificial means?
