Expression of the Week

이렇게 귀한 걸 (this is so precious)

귀하다 – adj. valuable or rare

Casual – 이렇게 귀한 걸 (줘서 고마워)

Semi-polite/polite – 이렇게 귀한 걸 주셔서 감사합니다

>> “걸” is an abbreviated expression for “것을” which combines the bound noun “것” and the postpositional particle “을”. 

>> The full expression would be “이렇게 귀한 걸 줘서 고마워요” but “줘서 고마워요” which means “thanks for giving me” can be omitted. The shortened form is usually used rather than the full sentence. 

>>This expression is usually used to say thank you to someone who has given to you something very special and nice.
