[edit] Seoteomin

Anyone know the hanja for the above term? Just curious.Phonemonkey 23:02, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

You could have simply clicked at the wiktionary links I have put in each component. Only min is Sino-Korean. Wikipeditor 10:15, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, Ok. I just checked the wikitionary link though, but what does the first bit literally mean? Thanks. Phonemonkey 00:16, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

As far as I understand, seo and teo(-jeon) literally mean “new” and “place”, respectively. Wikipeditor 13:58, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Saeteomin vs Talbukja

Can someone please explain what exactly these terms mean, so us monolingual types can understand why f'rinstance the North Koreans would object to the latter? --SigPig |^{SEND - OVER} 14:31, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Done. Sorry, I should have done that in the first place. Wikipeditor 13:58, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
