Business seems to be going well these days. You have a lot of customers.

응, 이젠 단골손님도 꽤 생겨서 그럭저럭 잘 되는 편이야.

Yeah, we've gotten quite a few regulars now, so it's going okay.

네가 무슨 돈이 있다고 이 비싼 옷을 나한테 선물하는 거야?

We planned to go on a trip this week, but the rain caused a hitch in our plans.

저런, 그럼 날짜를 다시 잡고 계획도 다시 세워야겠구나.

Oh no, then we'll have to reschedule and replan.

지수는 왜 아직도 안 와?

Why isn't Jisu here yet?

방금 전에 전화하더니 갑자기 일이 생겨서 못 오게 되었대.

They just called a moment ago and said something suddenly came up, so they can't come.

기숙사 생활은 괜찮아?

How's dorm life?

아무래도 단체 생활을 해야 하니까 혼자 살 때보다는 자유가 없지.

Well, since you have to live with others, you don't have as much freedom as when you live alone.

이거 한번 드셔 보세요. 우리 가게에서 새로 개발한 팥빙수예요.

Please try this. It's a patbingsu we newly developed at our shop.

Okay, I'll enjoy it.

이 장롱은 얼마나 쓴 거야? 많이 낡았네.

How long have you used this wardrobe? It's really worn out.

I think I've used it for about thirty years. I'm planning to buy a new one this time.

새로 한 시에 만나자.

Let's meet at one o'clock, the new time.

알았어. 이따 봐.

Okay. See you later.

공부는 잘되니?

How's your studying going?

요새 고민이 많아서 공부에 집중이 안 됩니다.

I've been having a lot of worries lately, so I can't concentrate on studying.

수술은 무사히 잘 끝나고 어머니는 지금 회복 중입니다.

The surgery went well, and your mother is now recovering.

Really? I was worried, but that's great to hear.

선생님은 나만 보면 혼을 내시는 것 같아.

I feel like the teacher scolds me every time they see me.

전부 너 잘되라고 하는 소리니까 귀담아 들어.

It's all for your own good, so listen carefully.

지금까지 선전해 왔는데 오늘은 결국 졌네.

We've been doing well so far, but today we finally lost.

응, 우리 팀도 이제 운이 다했나 봐.

Yeah, I guess our team's luck has run out.

그 짧은 여름휴가가 어느새 다해 버렸네.

That short summer vacation is already over.

그러게. 이제 다시 출근해야 해.

I know. Now I have to go back to work.

여기까지가 내 운명인가 보네. 이제 내 명을 다한 것 같아.

I guess this is my fate. It seems my time has come.

그런 말씀 마세요. 더 사셔야지요.

Don't say that. You should live longer.

만약 결과가 잘못되면 네가 책임을 져야 한다.

What parent would want their child to go astray? He just wants what's best for you.

승규가 요즘 공부도 안 하고 놀기만 하던데 괜찮을까?

Seunggyu hasn't been studying lately and just plays around. Should we be worried?

친구가 잘못되는 것을 바라만 볼 수는 없지. 우리가 이야기를 해 보자.

We can't just stand by and watch him go down the wrong path. Let's talk to him.

선생님, 제 짝이 아직 안 왔어요.

Teacher, my partner hasn't come yet.

할 수 없이 오늘은 혼자 앉아야겠구나.

Then you'll have to sit alone today.

장갑을 안 꼈더니 손이 너무 시려.

My hands are so cold without gloves.

내 장갑 한 짝이라도 빌려줄 테니 끼고 다녀.

I'll lend you one of my gloves, so wear it.

너는 시집 언제 갈 거냐?

When are you going to get married?

아직 마땅한 짝이 없네요.

I still haven't found the right partner.

기한 내에 일을 마치느라 모두들 수고했네. 저녁은 내가 사지.

You all worked hard to finish the job on time. Dinner is on me.

If the department head is treating us to dinner, we'll have to enjoy it.

자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you talk about 삶의 상태 in Korean?

These 22 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 10 2급 words in this category — 생기다, 갑자기, 자유, 새로, 잘되다 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.
