غَالِبًا السوشال ميديا تِعْرِض أَشْيَاء مْفَلْتَرَة مِن الحَيَاة, لأنو الناس يشَارْكُوا الأَحْدَاث المُهِمَّة بَس.

Mostly social media shows filtered things from life, because people share only the important events.
And this reflects a perfect image of the life of some people which is the opposite of the real image.
But also this thing causes high pressure on these people because they always have to appear in a perfect image.
In contrast, the other people who compare their life with the life of those people.
But unfortunately, this comparison can lead to the feeling of depression.
We should always remember that the things that we are seeing on social media are not the full picture, and every human has problems in life, and the perfect life does not exist.

Similar a las historias de otras mujeres legendarias en latinoamérica, como La llorona o La sayona, “La patasola” es el alma en pena de una mujer que perdió a sus hijos por conflictos amorosos. Se conoce como “la patasola” porque anda con un sólo pie. Su cabello es largo y enmarañado, y tiene ojos y boca grandes.

Cuentan que era una mujer que estaba casada con un campesino con quien tenía tres hijos. Un día, a la vuelta del trabajo, el campesino encuentra a la mujer en casa con su patrón, y en un arrebato de furia cortó la cabeza de este último con un machete. La mujer intentó escapar, pero el campesino logró cortarle una de las piernas. Como consecuencia de esta herida la mujer murió pronto. El campesino prendió fuego a la casa y se llevó a sus hijos muy lejos. Desde entonces, el alma en pena de la patasola regresa a buscarlos.

De acuerdo con la región específica donde se cuenta, la patasola aparece con enormes colmillos, por lo que puede tratarse de una especie de vampiro que, más allá de haber sido una mujer despechada, es un ser que protege la naturaleza.

La patasola - Mito Colombiano

안녕하세요, 여러분! 오늘 팟캐스트에서는 한국어에서 자주 쓰이지만 학습자들에겐 생소할 수 있는 표현
[ -가지고]에 대해 이야기해 보려고 해요. 
우리가 흔히 아는 [그래서, -기 때문에, 왜냐하면] 등의 여러 표현 외에도, 일상 대화에서 [-가지고]라는 표현을 굉장히 많이 사용해요.
영어로는 ‘because’ 나 ‘since’의 의미로 이해하면 돼요.

우선, [-가지고]는 약간 구어체적인 느낌을 주는데요, 특히 친구들끼리 편하게 대화할 때 자주 쓰여요. 
예를 들어, “아, 늦잠 자가지고 수업에 늦었어”라고 하면 “늦잠 자서 수업에 늦었어”와 비슷한 의미지만, 좀 더 캐주얼하게 들리죠.

예문으로 볼까요?
"배가 너무 고파가지고 편의점에서 뭐 좀 샀어."

여기서 -가지고는 "너무 배고파서"의 뜻이에요. 이렇게 가볍게 이유를 덧붙이는 느낌이죠.

"버스를 놓쳐가지고 학교에 걸어갔어."

“버스를 놓쳐서”라고 할 수도 있지만, [-가지고]를 쓰면 좀 더 말하는 사람의 불만스러운 느낌이 잘 살아요.

마찬가지로,
"길이 막혀가지고 늦었어."

길이 막혀서 늦었어 대신, 더 원어민스러운 느낌이 들죠.

여러분도 평소 대화에서 [-아서] 나 [-기 때문에] 대신 [-가지고]를 한번 써보세요!
한국인 친구들이 여러분의 한국어 실력에 깜짝 놀랄지도 몰라요!
