Jisu is a bit lacking in getting along with other kids.

지수가 크게 사기를 당했다며?

이번에 경영 부서에 지원을 하고 싶은데, 반드시 경영학 전공자만 지원할 수 있나요?
I'd like to apply to the management department this time, but is it only open to business majors?

These 38 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 29 6급 words in this category — 노릇, 배신, 과부, 등지다, 따돌리다 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.
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.
