오늘 하루만 아침 운동 안 하면 안 될까?

Can't I skip morning exercise just for today?

안 돼. 건강한 육체에 건전한 정신이 깃듣다는 말 몰라? 빨리 일어나서 나와.

No way. Don't you know the saying that a healthy mind dwells in a healthy body? Get up quickly and come out.

일을 오래 했더니 집중력이 떨어지지 않아요?

Don't you lose concentration after working for a long time?

맞아요. 우리 잠깐 산책하고 와서 맑은 정신으로 다시 일해요.

Yes. Let's take a short walk and then work again with a clear mind.

이것 봐. 재활용 플라스틱을 이용해서 화분을 만들었어.

Look at this. I made a flower pot using recycled plastic.

또 절약 정신을 발휘했구나.

You've shown your saving spirit again.

신경이 마비가 되면 어떤 증상이 나타나나요?

What are the symptoms of nerve paralysis?

심한 경우 온몸을 움직일 수 없게 됩니다.

In severe cases, a person can become unable to move their entire body.

밤마다 들리는 소리 때문에 신경이 곤두서서 잠을 잘 수가 없어요.

I can't sleep because of the noise every night; it's making me a nervous wreck.

이 약을 드시면 조금 나아질 겁니다.

This medicine should help you feel a bit better.

지수 씨는 감각이 참 예민한가 봐요.

Jisu, you must have very keen senses.

네, 그래서 작은 변화에도 빨리 반응하는 편이에요.

Yes, that's why I tend to react quickly to even small changes.

지수가 입은 옷은 정말 예쁘더라.

The clothes Jisu was wearing were really pretty.

응, 지수는 패션 감각이 뛰어난 것 같아.

Yeah, I think Jisu has a great sense of fashion.

저 잠시 밖에 좀 나갔다 올게요.

I'm just stepping out for a moment.

이렇게 늦은 시각에 어디를 가려는 거니?

Where are you going at this late hour?

휴, 정말 일분일초가 아깝다.

Ugh, every second counts.

무슨 일인데 그렇게 시각을 다투는 거야?

What's the rush?

고양이는 어떻게 어두운 밤에도 빠르게 잘 움직일까?

How do cats move so quickly even in the dark?

어둠 속에서도 잘 볼 수 있도록 시각이 발달했기 때문이야.

Because their vision is highly developed for seeing in low light.

동물들의 세계는 오직 본능만이 존재하는 것 같아요.

It seems like only instinct exists in the animal world.

인간에게 이성이 없다면 동물과 다를 바가 없을 겁니다.

If humans lacked reason, we would be no different from animals.

우리 지수가 남자 친구가 생긴 것 같아요.

I think our Jisu has a boyfriend now.

벌써 이성 교제를 할 나이가 되었네요.

She's already old enough to date.

너 많이 피곤해 보인다.

You look really tired.

응, 요즘 매일 밤을 새웠더니 피로가 쌓여서 그래.

Yeah, I've been staying up every night lately, so fatigue has built up.

식사 전에 단 것을 그렇게 많이 먹으면 입맛만 떨어져.

If you eat that much sweets before a meal, you'll lose your appetite.

너무 배가 고파서 식사가 나올 때까지 기다릴 수 없는걸.

I'm so hungry I can't wait until the meal comes out.

새로 시작한 일은 적성에 잘 맞아요?

Does the new job suit you well?

아직이요. 하지만 입맛을 붙여 보기로 했으니 곧 좋아지겠죠.

Not yet. But I've decided to get used to it, so it should get better soon.

이 약은 어디에 좋나요?

What is this medicine good for?

자주 어지러움을 느끼시는 분들한테 특히 좋습니다.

It's especially good for people who often feel dizzy.

이제 정신을 차릴 때도 되지 않았니?

Isn't it time you pulled yourself together?

제 어지러운 마음도 곧 잡힐 테니 걱정하지 마세요.

My confused mind will soon settle, so don't worry.

정말 어디론가 떠나고 싶어.

I really want to get away somewhere.

맞아, 세상이 어지러워 살기 힘들어.

I know, the world is so chaotic it's hard to live.

점심을 짜게 먹었더니 목이 자꾸 마르네.

I had a salty lunch, and I keep getting thirsty.

물을 마시면 갈증이 없어질 거야.

Drink some water, and your thirst will go away.

다섯 경기 만에 상대 팀을 이겼다면서?

You finally beat the other team after five games?

응, 승리를 향한 갈증을 드디어 풀게 되었어.

Yeah, I finally quenched my thirst for victory.

시장에서 지갑을 잃어버렸다면서?

I heard you lost your wallet at the market.

응, 얼마나 정신없이 찾으러 다녔는지 몰라.

Yeah, you have no idea how frantically I ran around looking for it.

요즘 승규가 많이 바쁜가 보네. 한참 못 본 거 같아.

Seunggyu seems really busy these days. I haven't seen him in a while.

공부하랴 아르바이트하랴 정신없이 지내나 봐.

He's probably running around like crazy between studying and working part-time.

동물들의 세계는 오직 본능만이 존재하는 것 같아요.

It seems like the animal world is driven only by instinct.

인간에게 이성이 없다면 동물과 다를 바가 없을 겁니다.

If humans had no reason, we'd be no different from animals.

우리 지수가 남자 친구가 생긴 것 같아요.

I think our Jisu has a boyfriend now.

벌써 이성 교제를 할 나이가 되었네요.

She's already old enough to date the opposite sex.

눈이 왜 그렇게 빨개?

Why are your eyes so red?

가려워서 손으로 비볐더니 그렇게 됐어.

They got like that because I rubbed them since they were itchy.

바깥 구경을 하느라고 정신없구나.

You're so busy looking around outside.

응, 밖에 신기한 것들이 정말 많아.

Yeah, there are so many interesting things out there.

연락도 없이 이렇게 늦으면 어떡하니?

What do you do showing up this late without even calling?

미안해. 오늘 하루가 정신없어서 약속 시간이 지난 줄도 몰랐어.

Sorry. My day was so hectic I didn't even realize the appointment time had passed.

자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you talk about 감각 in Korean?

These 29 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 15 3급 words in this category — 정신, 신경, 감각, 시각, 이성 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.
