Translator’s Notes:
* Seotda is a traditional Korean card game that uses a deck of Flower Cards (화투/Hwatu). Seotda is often compared to Poker.
There are twelve sets of four cards, and each set represents a month of the year and shows a different flower.
You use twenty cards for Seotda - the November and December cards are removed, as well as the two Pi cards from each month. A pair of cards from the same month is called 땡/Ddaeng. The bigger the month number, the higher the points.
The 2nd highest variation of points are the Ddaeng pairs. The highest points are with a combination of the 1, 3 or 8 Gwangs (special cards). 1 Gwang & 8 Gwang (called 18 Gwang Ddaeng) give the same points as 1 Gwang & 3 Gwang (13 Gwang Ddaeng). The best combination is the 3 Gwang & 8 Gwang (38 Gwang Ddaeng). This is the equivalent of a Royal Flush in Poker - no other combination can trump it.
** 땡/Ddaeng has several meanings:
- Sounding of a bell.
- “Wrong” when getting the incorrect answer in variety shows.
- Equivalent for “tag” when in games of Freeze-Tag (얼음땡) to unfreeze someone.
*** They used 얘 (yae) instead of 예 (yeh). 얘 (yae) usually means ‘you, kid’ or ‘kiddo’. 얘 (yae) when used with suffixes “얘가”/“얘들아” means ‘this person’ and ‘hey, guys’ respectively. While 예 (yeh) means ‘yes’ or ‘yeah’, as well as being the Korean spelling for the sound of the word.
**** Geut (끗) is a combination of the cards last 2 cards left in your hand. The value of Geut (끗) is the sum of the last digit of both cards. Higher value, more points.
***** 끗 here is the word for Geut, the hand in Seotda. However, 끝, which is also pronounced Geut, means ‘the end’.
****** Freeze-tag is “얼음땡” in Korean, which is a combination of “얼음 (eol-eum), ice/freeze”, and “땡 (ddaeng), tag/unfreeze”.
# Reference to a quiz show: Ding-dong is the sound made for a right answer, while Ddaeng is the sound the bell makes for a wrong answer.
## 7끗 is a fairly poor combination of cards in Seotda. Geut (끗) is a combination of the cards last 2 cards left in your hand. The value of Geut (끗) is the sum of the last digit of both cards. Higher value, more points. 7끗 is therefore a bad but not worst possible result.
### 떨거지 are the worthless people who are a burden to the group they’re in.
#### 두욜땡 is an exaggerated Korean spelling of ‘do your thing’, as well as a play on words using ‘thing’ and ‘ddaeng’, which sound similar in Korean.
##### 엑셀 (excel) is the Korean word for “accelerator” in engine machines. Play on words for ‘excel’/‘accelerator’ and ‘break’/‘brake’ (car brake).
###### ‘To be a frog in a well’ is a saying that means ‘to know no better than what you’ve experienced’. It comes from a story of the frog that thought the well it lived in was the whole world, only to realize upon getting out of it that it was only a tiny little bit of it.
