언니는 졸업하고 어떻게 할 예정이야?

What do you plan to do after graduation?

취업보다는 대학원 진학을 택할 거야.

I'll choose to go to graduate school rather than get a job.

계산기로 계산을 했는데도 자꾸 합이 다르게 나오네.

I calculated with a calculator, but the sum keeps coming out different.

중간에 버튼을 잘못 누른 거 아냐? 난 계산기 쓰다 보면 꼭 그런 실수하는데.

Maybe you pressed the wrong button. I always make that mistake when I use a calculator.

아빠, 주판이 뭐예요?

Dad, what is an abacus?

예전에 쓰던 계산기야. 지금처럼 편리한 계산기가 나오기 전에는 주판을 이용해서 계산을 했단다.

It's a calculator used in the old days. Before convenient calculators like the ones we have now, people used abacuses to calculate.

지난 달 인터넷 쇼핑을 많이 했나 봐. 구매 내역 확인하고 깜짝 놀랐어.

You must have done a lot of online shopping last month. I was shocked when I checked your purchase history.

그럼 다음 달에 신용 카드 청구액이 많이 나오겠는데?

Well, then next month's credit card bill is going to be huge, isn't it?

손님이 오시는데 음식은 많이 준비하는 게 좋겠지요?

Since guests are coming, it's better to prepare a lot of food, right?

아니요. 음식 낭비를 하면 안 되니까 사람 수에 맞게 적당히 하세요.

No. You shouldn't waste food, so prepare just enough for the number of people.

요즘 가게에 갈 때마다 과소비를 해서 걱정이야.

I'm worried because I've been overconsuming every time I go to the store these days.

무엇을 살지 미리 정해서 가면 소비를 줄일 수 있어.

If you decide what to buy in advance, you can cut down on spending.

벼룩시장에서 이 그릇을 싼값으로 샀어요.

I bought this bowl at a low price at the flea market.

그래, 잘했다. 잠깐 쓸 건데 제값을 주고 사면 아깝지.

Good, well done. If you're only going to use it for a while, it'd be a waste to pay full price.

백 원짜리 열 개를 지폐로 교환해 주세요.

Please exchange ten 100-won coins for a banknote.

천 원짜리 한 장으로 드리면 되죠?

So I give you one 1,000-won bill, right?

네가 맛있다고 그렇게 추천한 곳이 바로 여기야?

Is this the place you recommended so highly as being delicious?

응. 여기가 바로 나의 단골 음식점이야.

Yeah, this is my regular restaurant.

저희 가게의 단골이시죠?

You're a regular at our store, right?

네. 얼마 전에도 이 가게에 왔었어요.

Yes, I came here not too long ago.

현금이 없는데 어떻게 하죠?

I don't have cash. What should I do?

신용 카드로도 지불이 가능하십니다, 고객님.

You can pay by credit card, sir.

카드로 계산하시겠어요?

Will you be paying by card?

네, 이 카드는 몇 개월 무이자 할부가 되나요?

Yes, how many months of interest-free instalments does this card offer?

계산대 줄이 너무 길다.

The checkout line is too long.

주말 저녁 시간에는 마트에 항상 사람이 많아.

On weekend evenings, the mart is always crowded.

어제 옷을 샀는데 집에 와서 보니 어깨 부분 바느질이 엉망이었어요.

I bought clothes yesterday, but when I got home, the stitching on the shoulders was a mess.

어머, 그럼 다시 가서 반품을 요구하세요.

Oh my, then go back and ask for a return.

그저께 인터넷으로 상품을 주문하고 결제도 마쳤는데요, 상품을 정확히 언제 받을 수 있나요?

I ordered a product online the day before yesterday and finished the payment. When exactly can I receive it?

이미 상품은 발송이 된 상태입니다. 저희 홈페이지에서 배송 추적이 가능하니까 한번 확인해 보세요.

The product has already been shipped. You can track the delivery on our website, so please check there.

이번 달에 돈을 너무 많이 쓴 것 같아.

I think I spent too much money this month.

일시불로 결제한 걸 할부로 바꿔 봐.

Try changing the lump sum payment to installments.

자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you talk about 물건 사기 in Korean?

These 17 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 15 4급 words in this category — 택하다, 계산기, 구매, 낭비, 과소비 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.
