자주 묻는 질문Common questions
How do you talk about 접속 in Korean?
These 14 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 8 6급 words in this category — 가령, 소위, 급기야, 설령, 기껏 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.
