자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you talk about 기후 in Korean?

These 50 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 31 5급 words in this category — 벼락, 열대, 서리다, 얼어붙다, 기상 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.
