Min Dagsrutin/My Daily Routine 

Do you ever struggle to say “no” without feeling awkward or guilty? In Korean culture, how we refuse something can say a lot about our character and emotional intelligence. 
In this episode of our Korean Podcast, we explore 쿠션어﻿ — “cushion words” that soften your tone and make refusals sound caring instead of cold.

Learn how to politely turn down invitations, decline favors, or express limitations while maintaining harmony and respect. We’ll go through real-life examples such as refusing a wedding invitation or declining work requests, and we’ll unpack why adding warmth can preserve relationships — and your peace of mind.

If you’ve ever said “I’ll think about it” just to avoid sounding rude, this episode will help you find the right words. Improve your Korean communication skills, emotional fluency, and confidence in social situations.

“—下” is used after a verb to indicate a short action, similar to the reduplicative form of a verb.
The object of the verb can be omitted. 
For example:
wǒ kàn yí xià shū 。 
我看一下书。Let me read the book.

nǐ xiū xi yí xià bɑ 。 
你休息一下吧。You can take a break.

nǐ wèn yí xià lǎo shī 。 
你问一下老师。You ask the teacher.

wǒ tīnɡ yí xià zhè shǒu ɡē 。 
我听一下这首歌。Let me listen to this song.
