I want to add the word melodious to a phrase which altogether means 'songs that are melodious' So is it right if i use the word 선율적인 with 노래 or 가곡
I want to know the exact English translation of 선율적인 so that i can use it with the word 'song'
1 Answer
선율적 is 선율(melody) + suffix -적, so it would mean "related to/pertaining to melodies" (as opposed to, say, harmonies or lyrics). Unless you're a musicologist or a musical critic, that's not a word you would use often.
I'm not sure I understand the context, but if by "ladies" you mean young women, I guess 아가씨들의 선율 would be OK. Or even 아가씨들의 노래, assuming it's a song.

Thank you very much for answering my query. I understand what you mean but can you tell me the translation of 'Melodious Songs' in a female context. I think that would be the exact/ precise answer to my question. Commented Nov 24, 2020 at 7:20

@smsht_ccl I’m sorry, but that is not the precise answer to your question which reads
What does 선율적인 exactly mean?and is answered by jick. Please update your question so people can actually know what you’re querying for.– CoconutCommented Nov 24, 2020 at 8:02 -
@smsht_ccl I'm sorry but your edit doesn't make it any clearer what you're asking or why this answer does not answer your question. What is the context for that phrase? Is it a title of an article or part of a sentence in a longer article? If so please add more sentences showing what it's trying to say. If it's literally "songs sung by women" can you please explain this doesn't answer you question? Are you trying to find a word that stresses that the song is "melodious"?– user17915 ♦Commented Nov 25, 2020 at 1:34
선율적인does not exactly translate to any English vocabulary. But I can say that the English word that has the closest meaning possible to선율적인ismelodious. By grammar it is correct to write선율적인 노래which can meanmelodious songsin English, though it sounds strange to Korean speakers because선율적인feels way too formal. Formelodious songsI’d rather say감미로운 노래.
