Me too! It's really delicious with fresh kimchi on top.

Ah, so that's why the broth has such a deep and clean flavor.
우리 오늘 저녁에는 뭘 먹을까?
What should we eat for dinner tonight?
아무래도 저녁밥이니까 면 종류보다는 밥 종류가 좋을 것 같아.
Since it's the evening meal, I think rice dishes would be better than noodles.

Yes, the cheonggukjang is quite a delicacy here.
날도 더운데 냉면이나 먹으러 갈래요?
It's hot out—want to go get some naengmyeon?
좋지요. 더운 여름에는 역시 시원한 냉면이 별미예요.

산꼭대기까지 케이블카를 타고 갈까요?

너 그 입 옆에 붙은 밥알은 나중에 배고플 때 먹으려고 붙여 둔 거야?

선생님, 왜 이사를 가면 팥으로 만든 시루떡을 이웃에게 돌려요?

직장 구했어?
Did you find a job?
아직 못 구했어. 돈도 못 벌고 집에 계속 있으니까 식구들도 나를 찬밥 취급 해.
Not yet. I can't earn money and I keep staying home, so my family treats me like a useless person.

자주 묻는 질문Common questions
How do you talk about 음식 in Korean?
These 27 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 20 ungraded words in this category — 수제비, 생크림, 육수, 저녁밥, 구이 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.
