승규가 여자 친구랑 잘 안 되고 있나 봐.

Seunggyu seems to be having trouble with his girlfriend.

어쩐지 날마다 사랑 타령을 하더라니.

No wonder he's been going on about love every day.

이 소식을 들으면 지수가 또 불같이 화를 내겠지?

If Jisu hears this news, she'll fly into a rage again, right?

뻔하지 뭐. 그 타령이 어디 가겠어?

Obviously. That same old tune isn't going anywhere.

각설이 타령은 어떤 내용이에요?

What's the content of the Gakseori taryong?

구걸을 할 때 부르던 구전 민요 중 하나입니다.

It's one of the oral folk songs sung while begging.

이게 어디서 나온 문서인지 모르겠네.

I can't figure out where this document came from.

이건 문맥으로 보아 어떤 글의 서론 부분인 것 같은데.

From the context, it seems to be the introduction of some piece of writing.

지난번에 얘기했던 일은 잘되고 있어?

Is that thing you mentioned last time going well?

아니, 여기저기 떠벌려 놨는데 정작 아직 손도 못 댔어.

No, I blabbed about it everywhere, but I haven't even started yet.

두 사람 그동안 몰래 사귀고 있었다면서?

So the two of them were secretly dating all along?

응, 처음부터 숨기지 말고 공언하고 만났으면 좋았을 텐데.

Yeah, it would have been better if they'd declared it publicly from the start instead of hiding it.

일단 요구를 들어준다고 하세요.

Just say you'll accept the demands for now.

어차피 요구를 들어줄 수도 없는데 그렇게 함부로 공언하면 안 되죠.

We can't accept the demands anyway, so we shouldn't declare that so carelessly.

이 두꺼운 책 통독이 가능하기는 할까?

Is it even possible to read this thick book all the way through?

정말 처음부터 끝까지 다 읽지 않으면 이번 시험에 통과할 수가 없어. 열심히 하자.

You really can't pass this exam unless you read every bit from start to finish. Let's work hard.

제품을 반품하고 싶습니다.

I'd like to return this product.

그럼 이 서류에 연락처와 반품 사유를 기재해 주세요.

Then please put down your contact information and the reason for the return on this form.

너는 좋아하는 과목이 뭐야?

What subjects do you like?

나는 외우는 걸 잘하기 때문에 암기력을 요하는 과목은 다 좋아.

Since I'm good at memorizing, I like all subjects that require memorization.

선생님, 늦었지만 시험을 볼 수 있게 허락해 주시면 안 될까요?

Teacher, even though it's late, could you please allow me to take the exam?

아무리 애원해도 소용없으니 그냥 포기하렴.

No matter how much you plead, it's useless, so just give up.

강의실이 어디에 있나요?

Where is the lecture room?

서문 근처에 있는 빨간 벽돌 건물에 있어요.

It's in the red brick building near the preface.

이 책을 쓰게 된 동기가 무엇입니까?

What motivated you to write this book?

서문에서 밝힌 바와 같이 사람들에게 희망을 주고 싶었습니다.

As I stated in the preface, I wanted to give people hope.

이번 회의에서 어떤 내용을 논의합니까?

What will be discussed at this meeting?

당면 과제에 대한 대책을 논의하고 결의문을 채택할 예정입니다.

We plan to discuss measures for the urgent tasks and adopt a resolution.

왜 승규한테 화가 났어?

Why are you mad at Seunggyu?

불만이 있음 직접적으로 말하지 자꾸 다른 사람에 빗대서 나를 비난하잖아.

If he has a complaint, he should say it directly, but he keeps criticizing me by making veiled jabs at me through other people.

제가 대상을 다 받다니 어안이 다 벙벙합니다.

I can't believe I won the grand prize. I'm completely dumbfounded.

뜻밖의 일이라 놀라셨나 보군요.

You must be surprised because it was unexpected.

할아버지께서 아끼시는 도자기를 깨뜨려 버렸는데 이걸 어쩌죠?

I broke Grandpa's favorite ceramic vase. What am I going to do?

그러게 말이다. 할아버지께서 아시면 당장 매서운 호통이 떨어질 텐데.

I told you so. If Grandpa finds out, he'll give you a severe scolding.

오늘따라 주눅이 들어 있는 것 같네.

You seem a bit down today.

아까 선배들한테 꾸지람을 들었거든.

I got a scolding from the seniors earlier.

요즘 고민이 있는데 말도 못 하고 너무 답답해.

I've been worried about something lately, but I can't even talk about it and it's so frustrating.

그래? 걱정 말고 다 얘기해 봐. 넋두리가 길어져도 들어줄게.

Really? Don't worry, tell me everything. I'll listen even if your complaint goes on for a long time.

막상 전학을 가려니 헤어지기 아쉽지?

It's a shame to part ways now that you're about to transfer schools, isn't it?

응, 친구들과 선생님들에게 작별의 인사를 고하는데 슬퍼서 눈물이 많이 나더라.

Yeah, when I said goodbye to my friends and teachers, I was so sad I cried a lot.

내가 지각해서 선생님께서 화가 많이 나신 것 같아.

I think the teacher got really angry because I was late.

일단 선생님께 왜 늦었는지 자초지종을 고하고 용서를 빌어.

First, tell the teacher the whole story of why you were late and ask for forgiveness.

아무리 어르고 달래도 아이가 울음을 그치지 않네.

No matter how much I soothe and coax, the child won't stop crying.

내가 달래 볼게.

Let me try to calm them down.

강아지 그만 괴롭히렴.

Stop teasing the puppy.

강아지를 얼리는 게 너무 재밌는걸요.

But it's so fun to pet the puppy.

지영이가 우리 모임에 들어온대?

Is Jiyoung joining our group?

아직 대답을 못 들었어. 부회장 자리를 주겠다고 계속 어르고 있어.

I haven't heard back yet. I keep coaxing her by offering the vice president position.

곧 지구가 멸망할 거래.

I heard the earth is going to end soon.

어디서 헛소리를 듣고 온 거야?

Where did you hear that nonsense?

당신 수술할 때 수면 마취를 할 거래요.

They said you'll be under general anesthesia during the surgery.

마취 상태에서 헛소리를 하면 어떡하지요?

What if I say nonsense while I'm under anesthesia?

아이가 뭐라고 중얼거려요.

The child is mumbling something.

아픈 상태에서 헛소리를 내는 거로군.

It must be nonsense from being in pain.

대부분의 전쟁은 강대국의 이해 속에서 이루어진대.

They say most wars happen within the interests of the great powers.

맞아. 전쟁으로 거두는 이득을 위한 강대국의 묵인 속에서 많은 사람들이 죽어 간다고 보는 시각도 있지.

Right. There's also the view that many people die because of the great powers' connivance for the profits gained from war.

이제 그만 재잘거리고 공부 좀 해.

Stop chattering and study now.

네, 엄마.

Yes, Mom.

이게 무슨 소리니?

What's that sound?

산새들이 재잘거리며 지저귀는 소리야.

It's the mountain birds chattering and singing.

자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you talk about 언어 행위 in Korean?

These 33 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 23 ungraded words in this category — 타령, 문맥, 떠벌리다, 공언하다, 통독 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.
