It’s sad but true: we’ve come to the last episode of KWOW (Season 1). We thank each and every one of our viewers for watching our Wednesday weekly show. Know that this is not goodbye forever. Professor Oh and friends are just taking a short hiatus to do some maintenance outside of Youtube. Stay tuned for future videos! Be the first to know of our return by liking us on Facebook and subscribing to our Youtube channel.
Our final episode is a combination between a Korean drama and a fashion show. We thought it’d be a fun way to teach your popularly-requested topic: clothes. While there are many variations to say—for example—pants (i.e. sweatpants, trousers, cargo pants, etc), we’re focusing on the common clothing terms:

MEMORIZE THIS PHRASE!
Remember when Granny Kim taught you how to tell someone, “You’re stylish” and “You got swag”? If you don’t, review by watching episode 50:
Let’s say your friend is wearing a really cool shirt.
Tell them: 그 셔츠 간지난다! (Geu shyeocheu ganji nandah!)
Which means “That shirt is stylish!”
Or perhaps you like their shoes.
Then you’d say, “그 신발 간지난다!”
Those shoes are stylish!
For other clothes, simply fill in the blank of the following informal phrase:
그 _______ 간지난다! (Geu _______ ganji nandah!)
That _______ is stylish! / Those _______ are stylish!
The formal version of this phrase:
그 _______ 간지나요! (Geu _______ ganji nayo!)
That _______ is stylish! / Those _______ are stylish!
