Smile Korean Expression #21 | 마음이 통하다 | When You Really Connect With Someone

Today’s expression: “마음이 통하다(ma-eu-mi-tong-ha-da)”

Have you ever met someone who seemed to understand exactly what you were thinking, even without saying much?

In Korean, we use “마음이 통하다” when two people understand each other’s thoughts or feelings and feel like they’re on the same wavelength.

In this episode, I’ll share some stories about people I really connect with, including a funny story from when I worked at a movie theater.

We’ll also learn the word “일부러,” meaning “on purpose,” and take a look at how “마음” is used in many Korean expressions about relationships and feelings.

New Smile Korean Expression episodes are released every other day.


If you’re practicing your listening, try slowing it down to 0.8x or 0.9x speed.
