What do Koreans do for Parents’ Day?
It’s a day to express gratitude for parents’ grace! In Korea, most children write letters to their parents and give them gifts on this occasion. It is even more essential to wear a red carnation on the chest of one’s parents. Because the crimson carnation has the flower language of appreciation and respect, it is an important part of the custom.
Koreans love to give gifts and events that are unusual, exciting, and emotional. There are many interesting and entertaining present ideas for Korean Parents’ Day as a result.
Koreans’ Fun Ideas for Gifts on Parents’ Day
Koreans value practicality, therefore they prefer receiving and giving actual cash as gifts. However, simply passing out money does not appear to have any feeling, warmth, or ingenuity to it, so Korean must find another method of packaging them. As a result, Koreans love utilizing various creative and unusual ways to wrap gifts.
There is a good cash package idea, the Money Fan! You know, the flex wind is cool and happy:)
Only flowers are no fun. So Koreans wrap money in bouquets and send them to their parents. Fantastic.
It’s my favorite packaging method. It was always a big hit with all the recipients! When you try to pull up the message card, cash comes up one after another from flower boxes. Cool!!
On Parents’ Day, it is customary in South Korea to give carnations to one’s parents. However, giving the same carnation flower every year is rather dull. As a consequence, there are many distinct funny carnations gift ideas available in South Korea.
There are also giant carnations. WoW
Koreans themselves sometimes dress up as flowers for their parents.
On a joyful occasion, cakes are not to be missed. On Parents’ Day, Koreans celebrate with novelty cakes.
There is a special cake that is printed with a plaque of appreciation for their parents.
This can be a cake, carnations, and even a cash gift at the same time. WoW
How do you say parents in Korean?
One Minute Korean
Parents’ Day in Korean is 어버이날 “eo-beo-i nal”. “eo-beo-i” means Parents, and “nal” means Day in Korean.
Oh! If so…, you might be thinking, ‘I can say “eobeoi 어버이” to parents in Korean’. But NOPE!
어버이(eobeoi), Although this word is a Korean word that means parents, it is not used in conversation in an ancient language. This word is sufficiently old that it can still be found in 15th-century writing.
The expression “어버이 eobeoi” is a bit old-fashioned, so it is rarely used in conversation. In real conversations, the word “부모님 bu-mo-nim” is mainly used. A lot of Korean teenagers these days say “엄빠 umpa”. It is an abbreviation of “엄마 eom-ma, 아빠 appa” which means Mom, Daddy in Korean. “엄빠 umpa” is a slang word, so don’t use it in a polite place!
Remember! ???????????? If you want to say “parents” in Korean, “부모님 bumonim” is the correct Korean expression.
Happy 어버이날 EOBEOI NAL!
