한국어의 ‘시원하다’*는 단순히 차갑다는 뜻만은 아니에요.
뜨거운 국을 먹을 때, 속이 후련할 때도
한국 사람들은 “시원하다”라고 말하죠.

이번 에피소드에서는
차갑지도 않은데 왜 ‘시원하다’라고 할까?
이 한 단어에 담긴 한국어 특유의 감각과
일상에서 쓰이는 진짜 의미를 가볍게 풀어봐요.

시원하다

こんにちは。
今日（きょう）のお話（はなし）は、リスについてです。
私（わたし）と娘（むすめ）の会話（かいわ）です。

El mundo cambia y estos cambios traen consigo conceptos, o cosas que necesitan nuevas palabras para describirlos. Muchas veces creamos palabras totalmente nuevas, y otras creamos palabras fusionando dos palabras que ya existen.

 En el episodio de hoy te hablo de unas palabras bastante recientes que han nacido para adaptarse y describir cosas de los nuevos tiempos.

Espero que disfrutes del episodio y aprendas algo nuevo. Después de escucharlo no te olvides de decirme:
-si habías escuchado estas palabras antes

-si conoces otras palabras que han nacido como consecuencia de algo nuevo

-y si en tu idioma también habéis desarrollado nuevas palabras.

Walt Disney is known for creating some of the most beloved children's movies in history. But his path to success wasn't a direct one.

Born in Chicago in 1901, Disney's journey began in 1923, when he moved to California to make cartoons. He made a series of silent cartoons called Alice Comedies, which became successful and led to the founding of the Walt Disney Studio.

In 1927, Walt Disney created a new cartoon character called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and made 26 short films with him in just one year.

However, when Disney asked for more money to continue making them, he discovered that his distributor had secretly hired his animators to make Oswald cartoons without him. Worse still, Disney didn't own the character of Oswald — the distributor did.

This setback forced Disney to create a new character. And that's how he came up with his most famous creation — Mickey Mouse. Mickey first appeared in the 1928 movie Steamboat Willie, and became an instant hit.

Disney then made the world's first full-color cartoon, 1932's Flowers and Trees, winning him an Oscar for Best Short Subject.

Building on these successes, Disney began working on his first full-length movie in 1934 — Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Over 300 people were involved in making the movie, including animators and artists. It went four times over its budget, and some dubbed the movie "Disney's Folly," believing it would fail.

But it didn't — when it was released in 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs became the highest-grossing film of all time, although it lost that title two years later to Gone with the Wind.

Walt Disney passed away in 1966, but his legacy lived on. His company continued to release successful animated movies like The Little Mermaid and The Lion King, and now also creates successful computer animated films like Frozen and Moana.
