Are they similar or are they same origin, Persian language and Korean language? (0145-0152)

Abstract

French missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that Korean culture is different from Chinese culture. Several researchers studied the relation between Persian words and Korean words (Park et al., 2019; Kim and Park, 2022). The present researcher selected several Persian words, and compared them with Korean words. The researcher used a Dictionary of Persian/French and French/Persian (Bau, 2008) in order to translate those 8 Persian words into Korean words. The title is ‘Are they similar or are they same origin, Persian language and Korean language? (0145-0152)’. <number Persian word (its meaning) Korean word (its meaning in English)> 0145 Ejra kardan (to complete a work) Adeula-gireuda (to bring up the son) 0146 Qazi (to do justice) Ggeus-ggazi-ganda (I want to come to the end in order to judge it.) 0147 Gap (word, talk, conversation) Gabs (to say valuable things, to intend to do so) 0148 Alam (flag) Alim (notice, announcement) 0149 Aksar (the major part) Ag-sseo-ra! (You, tell it in the loud voice! Speak in the crying voice!) 0150 Memar (carpenter) Mweol-man-deul-eo? (What do you make now?) 0151 Tabela (livestock house) Tabolae? (Do you want to ride the horse or sheep?) 0152 Neza (dispute, quarrel) Mis-zyeo! (I lose my money! I do not gain money now!) From this study, it is found that most of Persian words here in this study are similar to Korean words. Therefore, it is considered that both Persian culture and Korean culture have same origin.
