I don't know if it's because the weather's been so dry lately, but my face feels really tight.
그럼 수분 크림을 써 봐. 바르고 나면 금방 촉촉해질 거야.
Then you should try a moisturizing cream. It'll feel nice and dewy right after you put it on.
요즘은 농약을 많이 쳐서 그런가 곤충들이 수분을 해 주는 일이 드물대.
I heard that insects rarely pollinate these days, maybe because of all the pesticides.
응. 그래서 과수원에서는 사람이 곤충 대신 인공적으로 수분을 해 준다고 하더라.
Yeah, that's why they say orchards have to pollinate artificially instead of relying on insects.
나무에 작고 빨간 열매가 맺혀 있어.
There are small red fruits formed on the tree.

What is this? Is it omija?
뭘 했기에 이마에 땀방울이 맺혀 있어?
What did you do that sweat drops are formed on your forehead?
얼마 안 뛰었는데도 땀이 많이 나네.
I only ran a little, but I'm sweating a lot.
다 울었어?
Did you cry it all out?
가슴속에 맺혀 있던 일들을 죄다 털어놓고 나니까 개운해.
After letting out everything that was pent up in my chest, I feel refreshed.
세상에, 웬 줄이 이렇게 길게 뻗쳤어?
Wow, why is the line stretching so long?
오늘 여기서 유명 배우가 사인회를 한다더니 그걸 기다리나 봐.
I heard a famous actor is having a signing event here today, so they must be waiting for that.
어떻게 이 많은 인파를 뚫고 지나가지?
How are we supposed to get through this huge crowd?
몸을 꿈틀거리면서 비집고 들어가 보자.
Let's wriggle our way through and squeeze in.
너는 아직도 슬럼프에 빠져서 대회 출전 준비는 안 하고 있는거니?
Are you still in a slump and not preparing for the competition?
열심히 노력해도 성적이 나쁘니 패배감이 자꾸 꿈틀거려서 운동을 하고 싶지 않아요.
Even when I try hard, my results are bad, so a feeling of defeat keeps wriggling up, and I don't want to train.
숲이 아주 우거졌네.
The forest is really overgrown.
응, 하늘이 잘 보이지 않을 정도야.
Yeah, so much that you can barely see the sky.
우리 개도 빨리 새끼를 낳으면 좋겠어.
I wish our dog would have puppies soon.
개들의 번식 시기는 대개 봄, 가을이니까 곧 좋은 소식이 있을 거야.

너는 승규를 못 믿더라.
You didn't trust Seunggyu.
응, 승규가 나에게 한 번 거짓말을 한 뒤부터는 불신이 싹터 어떤 말도 믿을 수가 없어.
Yeah, ever since he lied to me once, distrust sprouted and I can't believe anything he says.
나한텐 돈을 빌려 달라는 사람들만 꼬이는 것 같아요.
It seems like only people who want to borrow money from me are swarming around me.
자네가 거절을 할 줄 몰라서 그래.
That's because you don't know how to say no.
젠장! 어쩌다 내 인생이 이렇게 꼬인 거야?
Damn! How did my life get so screwed up?
살다 보면 뜻대로 일이 되지 않을 때도 있기 마련이야.
Life is bound to have times when things don't go as you planned.
도움 같은 건 필요 없어요.
I don't need any help.
넌 어린애가 왜 벌써부터 그렇게 꼬였니?
Why are you, a kid, already so twisted?
그 신기술이 개발되면서 산업이 점점 커지기 시작했지요.

자주 묻는 질문Common questions
How do you talk about 동식물 행위 in Korean?
These 19 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 11 6급 words in this category — 번식하다, 수분, 맺히다, 뻗치다, 꿈틀거리다 and the rest. Each is two turns, so what you see is not only how the word is used but what it is usually said in answer to.
Are these dialogues natural Korean?
They are written examples rather than transcribed speech, so they are tidier than a real conversation and shorter. What they are not is translated English: they were written in Korean, by Korean lexicographers, to show how the word behaves — which is why the speech levels and the sentence endings in them are worth copying.
