안녕하세요, 여러분! 그거 아세요?
영어에서도 많이 쓰는 표현 TMI는 한국에서 사뭇 다르게 쓰이고 있다는 사실!

일반적으로 영어권에서는 TMI가 “Too Much Information”의 약자로, 듣고 싶지 않거나 불편한 개인적인 정보로 사용되죠. 예를 들어, 친구가 갑자기 본인의 신체나 건강 상태에 대해 불필요하게 자세히 설명하면 “TMI!” 하고 말할 수 있어요.

그런데 한국에서는 TMI가 조금 다르게 쓰여요. 한국에서는 TMI가 꼭 불편한 정보만을 뜻하지 않아요. 오히려 "별로 중요한 정보는 아닌데, 굳이 알고 싶지 않아도 되는 사소한 정보" 정도로 사용하는 거죠. ‘쓸데없는 소소한 정보’ 정도로 이해하시면 돼요.

이 표현의 예로 최근 카리나가 커버하면서 인기를 끌고 있는 노래 [그거 아세요?]를 소개해 드릴게요. 이 노래의 가사는 사실 TMI 그 자체라고 볼 수 있어요. 
가사 중 일부는 이런 식이에요: 

“귤에 붙어 있는 하얀 거 이름은 귤락입니다." "The white stuff on tangerines is called gyullak."
"찰떡아이스는 세 알이었고," "There are three mochi balls in Chaltteok Ice Cream."
"하와이안 피자는 캐나다에서 만들었죠." "Hawaiian pizza was actually created in Canada."
"제가 또 계란을 기가 막히게 삶습니다.” "I can boil eggs perfectly."

이 가사를 모르는 외국인들이 들으면, 카리나의 목소리가 애절해서 진지하게 들릴 수도 있겠죠. 하지만 실제로 가사를 보면 사소하고 유머러스한 내용들이 많아요. 가벼운 TMI들이 노래 안에 담겨 있는 거죠. 그래서 이 노래를 들으면 한국에서는 TMI의 새로운 의미가 떠오르게 됩니다.

또 일상에서는 "이건 TMI인데.." 라고 하면서 아주 쓸데없는 이야기를 부가적으로 하거나,
“오늘 아침에 양말 두 개나 잃어버렸어” 같은 소소한 말에 “오 TMI네?” 하고 웃기도 해요. 
비슷한 표현으로는 "안물안궁","I didn't ask, and I don't care"이 있죠.
이처럼 한국어에서 TMI는 다양한 맥락에서 유머로도 쓰이니까, 
여러분도 앞으로 재미있게 한국식 TMI를 활용해 보세요!

다음에도 한국의 독특한 표현과 문화를 소개할게요. 오늘도 들어주셔서 감사합니다!

In this episode, we talk about the pleasure we get from hearing stories, and I share with you a beautiful tale about the joy that comes from helping others. Listen now, and then read the (shortened) transcript below to check your understanding.

This story takes place in a hospital, many years ago. And there was a room where there were two men, both seriously ill. One of those men was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain the fluids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend of all his time lying flat on his back. He couldn’t see anything, except the ceiling.

The men talked for hours on end. They spoke about their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, where they’d been on vacation, and the things they’d learned in their lives. And every afternoon, when the man in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the wonderful things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods when his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and the colour of the outside world. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm amid flowers of every colour of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all of this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene..........
