Then what is this mean and when can we use it?

First, 살아있다(sal-a-it-da) means 'Alive'

살아있네(sal-a-it-nae) is a exclamation form of 살아있다(sal-a-it-da) and also, 살아있어(sal-a-it-eo) is a conversation form of 살아있다(sal-a-it-da).

So, this full sentence means 'It's alive!'

This phrase is used when something is active and good.

Not only physical but also the mind too.

If something is dead, it can't be done well.

Just like an object. For example, when phone is out of battery or not working we say phone is dead.

Then why is this word so popular among people?)

Koreans like something that's alive.

As you see in the sushi restaurant, Koreans prefer to have raw fish that's alive.

In addition, When person's mind is alive, they think more and get good results.

This is why Korean's like which is alive.

So, from now on, use this word whenever you see something is good like it's alive!

Lastly, then how can we be alive?

I have thought about this a lot of times.

All the people looks same on the outside, but among them, how can I be the person who really looks like, and live like it's alive?

I have solved this question through joining MANNAM.

By joining MANNAM, and doing volunteering works, I feel I am alive.

Why? Because I am alive, I can help others and through these works.

Therefore, I feel I am living in the world with others.

I think spending valuable time and make meaningful memories with others are one of the ways to be alive.

So, join MANNAM International Volunteer Association and ‘be alive’! 살아있네 살아있어(sal-a-it-nae sal-a-it-eo)

There is only one life for each of us! Don't you want to live like alive person?

Make yourself valuable and also helpful to others.
