Hello, everyone!
The year 2025 is just around the corner!
When you start learning Korean, one of the first things you’ll come across is ~이에요. or ~입니다.
Now, we’re adding the word 코앞 before ~이에요 or ~입니다.
'코앞'? What does that mean?
In Korean, 코 means 'nose', and 앞 means 'front'. So, 코앞 literally translates to 'the front of my nose'.
This phrase is used to describe something extremely close, like right in front of your nose. Fun, right? 😁
So, when we say 2025년이 코앞이에요, it means '2025 is very close!' Are you all ready for it? 😊
