Question about Korean
When I look up 말 지어보네 in translators, it says that it means "talk to me" or "I'm talking." However, in some songs I listen to, it's translated as "make something up." How come it can have different meanings?

말 지어보네 means "I'm making/writing up some words/lyrics/writings or such!" Translator sucks

@gabstopit I think it sucks especially when it comes to Korean and a western language translation. It's a good reference, though. No problem!
