Ugh, it's so cold today. So different from yesterday.
얼른 들어와. 추운데 고생했어. 조금 있으면 몸이 녹을 거야.
Come in quickly. You must have had a rough time in the cold. Your body will warm up in a bit.

Should we get a dehumidifier? It'd be nice and comfortable to have one.
아빠, 엄마랑 처음 만난 날 기억하세요?
Dad, do you remember the day you first met Mom?
당연하지. 아빠가 버스에서 엄마를 보고 첫눈에 반했었단다.
Of course. I fell in love at first sight when I saw her on the bus.

These 24 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 17 3급 words in this category — 남부, 중부, 북부, 녹다, 번개 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.
