승규야, 어제 김 선생님께서 돌아가셨다는 소식 들었어?
Seunggyu, did you hear that Teacher Kim passed away yesterday?
응, 마음의 착잡함이 이루 말할 수 없을 정도로 슬프고 괴로워.
Yeah, my heart is so complicated with sadness and pain that I can't even put it into words.

이번 공연을 준비하느라 수고 많았네.
You worked so hard preparing for this performance.
일이 재밌어서 힘든 줄도 몰랐습니다.
The work was so fun that I didn't even notice how tired I was.
남의 일에 뭘 그렇게 열심히 해?
Why are you working so hard on someone else's problem?
모른 체하기에는 그 사람 처지가 너무 절박해 보이잖아.
Their situation seems too desperate to just ignore.
수술이 잘 끝날지 너무 불안해요.
I'm so anxious about whether the surgery will go well.
너무 염려하지 마시고 마음 편하게 생각하세요.
Don't worry too much—just try to keep your mind at ease.
너 요즘 고슴도치 키운다더니 어때?
I heard you're raising a hedgehog these days. How's that going?
재밌어. 가끔 화가 나면 가시를 곤두세우는데 그것도 귀여워.
It's fun. Sometimes when it gets angry, it raises its quills, and that's cute too.
요즘 시험이 다가와서 그런지 학생들의 수업 집중도가 향상됐지요?
With exams approaching, the students' focus in class has improved, hasn't it?
네, 학생들이 한 마디도 놓치지 않으려고 신경을 곤두세우고 듣습니다.
Yes, the students are listening with their nerves on edge, trying not to miss a single word.
승규야, 너는 왜 여자 친구를 안 사귀어?
Seunggyu, why don't you get a girlfriend?
나는 아직 옛 여자 친구를 그리워하고 있거든.
I'm still missing my ex-girlfriend.
물에 찌꺼기가 섞여 있네.
There's sediment mixed in the water.
찌꺼기를 가라앉히려면 컵에 물을 받아 놓고 조금만 기다리면 돼.
To let the sediment settle, just fill a cup with water and wait a bit.
큰일 났네! 지갑을 어디에 두었는지 모르겠어.
Oh no! I don't know where I put my wallet.
흥분을 조금 가라앉히고 천천히 생각을 해 봐.
Calm down a little and think slowly.
분위기가 너무 소란스러운데 어떻게 가라앉히지?
The atmosphere is too noisy—how do we calm it down?
글쎄. 음악 소리를 좀 줄여 볼게.
I don't know. I'll try turning the music down a bit.
문장 다듬는 일 힘들지 않아?
Isn't polishing sentences hard?
힘들다고 생각하면 힘든데, 이 일에 몰두하다보면 어느새 일의 즐거움을 만끽하게 되더라고.
It's hard if you think it is, but once you get absorbed in it, you find yourself enjoying the work.
이번 사고로 박 부장이 징계를 받게 되었습니다.
Due to this accident, Manager Park has been disciplined.
박 부장은 이 징계를 유감스럽게 생각하는 것 같습니다.
It seems Manager Park finds this disciplinary action regrettable.
오랜만입니다.
It's been a long time.
이렇게 다시 만나게 돼서 반갑기가 그지없습니다.
I'm endlessly glad to meet you again like this.
면접도 끝났는데 네 표정이 왜 그래? 홀가분하지 않아?
The interview's over, so why do you look like that? Aren't you relieved?
너무 열심히 준비했나 봐. 홀가분하기보다 기분이 허탈하네.
I guess I prepared too hard. Instead of feeling relieved, I feel dispirited.
이 물건도 저쪽으로 옮기면 될까요?
Should I move this item over there too?
네. 깨지기 쉬운 물건이니 각별히 신경을 써 주세요.
Yes. It's fragile, so please handle it with extra care.
개들이 왜 이렇게 시끄러워?
Why are the dogs so noisy?
눈이 오니까 저렇게 날뛰면서 짖네요.
Because it's snowing, they're jumping around and barking like that.
회사는 좀 어때?
How's work?
회장님이 돌아가시고 아들들이 회사를 차지하려고 날뛰는 바람에 혼란스러워.
After the chairman passed away, his sons are acting unruly to take over the company, so it's chaotic.
갑자기 왜 이렇게 기뻐 날뛰는 거니?
Why are you suddenly jumping for joy?
내일 수업 휴강이래요.
I heard class is canceled tomorrow.
할아버지가 살아 계실 때 잘해 드릴 걸.
I wish I had treated Grandpa better while he was alive.
이미 돌아가셔서 한탄해 봤자 소용없어.
He's already gone, so lamenting won't do any good.
이따 저녁에 만나서 영화 볼래?
Do you want to meet up this evening and watch a movie?
미안하지만 오늘은 안 되겠어. 너무 피곤해서 만사가 귀찮아.
Sorry, but not today. I'm so tired that everything feels like a hassle.
손님이 화를 내도 점원인 우리가 같이 화를 내서는 안 돼요.
Even if a customer gets angry, we as staff shouldn't get angry too.
손님한테 욕을 들으니 도저히 평온을 되찾지 못하겠는걸요?
But when they curse at me, I just can't get my composure back.
나는 저 사람의 웃음이 마음에 들지 않아.
I don't like that person's laugh.
나도 경멸하는 듯한 웃음이 기분 나쁘더라고.
Me neither, that contemptuous laugh was off-putting.
며칠 전에 방화범이 불 지른 곳, 너네 동네 아니야?
That place the arsonist set fire to a few days ago, isn't it in your neighborhood?
맞아. 우리 동네여서 정말 경악했다니까. 다행히 범인은 잡혔대.
Right. It was in our neighborhood, so I was really shocked. Luckily, they caught the culprit.
어제 그 드라마 봤어? 드디어 진짜 범인이 잡히고 주인공이 누명을 벗었잖아.
Did you watch that drama yesterday? The villain finally got caught!
봤어. 봤어. 범인이 잡히는 장면은 정말 통쾌하더라!
Yeah, it was extremely satisfying to see that.
제일 친한 친구가 승규니?
Is Seunggyu your closest friend?
네, 이심전심 통하는 친구는 승규뿐이에요.
Yes, Seunggyu is the only friend I have a silent understanding with.
글쎄, 오는 길에 젊은 남녀가 길에서 진한 애정 표현을 하고 있는 걸 봤어.
Well, on my way here I saw a young couple making out right on the street.
정말 꼴불견이었겠구나.
That must have been such an eyesore.

자주 묻는 질문Common questions
How do you talk about 감정 in Korean?
These 26 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 21 6급 words in this category — 착잡하다, 재밌다, 절박하다, 염려하다, 곤두세우다 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.
