 Home 한국어 Learn Korean : Sound Smarter , Learn Hanja – 人 ( 인 ) 
 I have said a lot in my past Korean Unnie videos that considerable number of Korean vocabulary is based on Chinese characters and we call these words Sino - Korean words . 
 But there are like 50 , 000 Chinese characters and obviously we can ’ t memorize all of them , but I can show you some Chinese characters that are often used in Korean vocabulary and it will really help you to memorize the words or even guess the word even if you don ’ t know the meaning of the word . 
 The Hanja , a Chinese character based Korean root , that we are going to learn today is 인 . 
 인 means a person . Just in case you ’ re curious , it is pronounced ren in Chinese . 
 There are many words in Korean vocabulary that include this character 인 . 
 When introducing yourself and saying your nationality , you put the name of your country and than attach this word 인 . 
 한국인 means Korean 
 한국 Korea and 인 person 
 so 한국인 Korea person , Korean . 
 중국인 means Chinese 
 중국 China 인 person 
 중국인 China person , Chinese 
 This is also applied for describing race in Korean . 
 황인 means Asian 
 황 describes a yellowish color and 인 is a person 
 황인 yellow person … it sounds weird but that ’ s what it means . 
 흑인 흑 describes a black color and 인 is a person 
 흑인 black person 
 백인 백 describes white color 인 person 백인 white person 
 Not only nationality and race there are so many words in Korean that includes 인 . 
 미인 means a beauty 
 미 beautiful 
 연인 lover 
 연 date , to love 
 공인 public figure 
 공 public 
 하인 servant 
 하 below 
 거 big , humungous 
 There are so many examples for this so it ’ s impossible to list all of them in this video . 
 But at least when you see something something 인 , you can assume that it is probably describing a person . If you ’ re lucky enough to guess what the word before 인 means then you will be able to know the meaning of that word and if you can ’ t you at least know that should be a person . 
 As I have always emphasized , Chinese characters , hanja are look roots for Korean word . It ’ s like Latin in English , so it is really helpful if you want to expand Korean vocabulary . 
 I am making videos on Sino - Korean words regularly so subscribe to my channel if you want to get updates . 
 I hope this video was helpful and see you next time with another informative Korean video .
