How long has it been since Minjun left for the trip?
오늘로 보름이 지났어.
It's been fifteen days as of today.
분수에 지난 일이 있었다면 너그러이 용서해 주시기 바랍니다.
If there was anything that went beyond what was proper, please forgive it generously.
괜찮습니다. 그런 일은 전혀 없었습니다.
It's fine. There was nothing like that at all.
이곳으로 가려면 어떻게 가야합니까?
How do I get to this place?
저 앞에 보이는 다리를 지나서 쭉 가시면 됩니다.
Cross the bridge you see up ahead and keep going straight.
어제도 비가 내리더니 오늘도 계속이네요.
It rained yesterday, and it's still continuing today.
그러게요. 내일은 비가 좀 그쳤으면 좋겠어요.
I know. I hope it stops raining tomorrow.
재개발 공사가 중단됐다면서요?
I heard the redevelopment construction was halted.
네, 언제 다시 계속이 될지는 알 수 없다고 해요.
Yes, they say it's unknown when it will resume.
형한테 전화해서 집에 일찍 들어올 수 있냐고 물어봐라.
Call your brother and ask if he can come home early.
아까부터 계속 전화를 했는데 안 받아요.
I've been calling him continuously since a while ago, but he's not answering.
선희야, 나 좀 먼저 도와주고 하던 일 계속 이어서 하면 안 될까?
Sunhee, can you help me first and then continue what you were doing?
응, 잠깐은 도와줄 수 있어.
Sure, I can help for a bit.
지영이는 언제 서울에 도착한대?
When does Jiyeong say they'll arrive in Seoul?
내일 오후에 도착한대.
They said they'll arrive tomorrow afternoon.
일을 오후까지는 끝낼 수 있겠어?
Can you finish the work by the afternoon?
아니. 곧 해가 질 텐데 일이 끝나려면 어림없어.
No. The sun will set soon, and there's no way the work will be done by then.
오늘 일요일인데 회사에 가요?
It's Sunday today, but you're going to work?
네, 일이 많아서 주말에도 회사에 가야 돼요.
Yes, I have so much work that I have to go in on weekends too.
토요일에도 병원 문 여나요?
Is the hospital open on Saturdays?
네, 그런데 토요일에는 한 시에 진료가 끝나요.
Yes, but on Saturdays, consultations end at one o'clock.
토요일에 영화를 볼까요?
Shall we watch a movie on Saturday?
좋아요. 그런데 토요일에는 영화관에 사람이 많으니까 일찍 만나요.
Sure. But since there are lots of people at the movie theater on Saturday, let's meet early.
다음 주 월요일에 시험이 있어서 걱정이에요.
I'm worried because I have an exam next Monday.
걱정하지 마세요. 주말 동안 열심히 공부하면 시험을 잘 볼 거예요.
Don't worry. If you study hard over the weekend, you'll do well on the exam.
새해 목표 세웠어?
Did you set a New Year's resolution?
응, 새해 목표라기보다는 인생 목표인데, 무엇이 진실인가를 늘 생각하고 참을 추구하는 사람이 되겠다고 다짐했어.
Yeah, it's more of a life goal than a New Year's one. I've decided to always think about what is true and become a person who pursues the moment.
나 바빠서 너랑 한가하게 잡담할 시간 없어.
I'm busy, so I don't have time to chat leisurely with you.
에이, 아무리 바빠도 차 한잔 마실 참이 없을까.
Come on, no matter how busy you are, there must be a moment to have a cup of tea.
아직 밥 먹으려면 멀었나?
Is it still a long time until we eat?
한두 참은 더 지나야 돼. 일을 시작한 지 얼마나 됐다고.
We need to wait a couple of moments more. We just started working.
무슨 요일에 테니스를 쳐요?

I play tennis on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
민준아, 신나는 금요일 저녁인데 기분이 안 좋아 보인다. 무슨 일 있어?
Minjun, it's a fun Friday evening, but you look down. What's wrong?
내일 시험이 있거든. 토요일 오전에 시험을 보다니 우울해.
I have an exam tomorrow. Having a test on Saturday morning is such a downer.
우리 수요일에 강으로 놀러 갈까?
Should we go to the river on Wednesday?
안 돼. 중요한 약속이 있거든. 다음 주에 가자.
No, I have an important appointment. Let's go next week.
그럼 다음에 언제 만날까요?
Then when shall we meet next?
음, 이번 주 목요일은 어때요?
Um, how about this Thursday?
우리 언제 만날까?
When should we meet?
다음 주 화요일 저녁에 만나자.
Let's meet next Tuesday evening.

These 21 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 13 1급 words in this category — 지나다, 계속, 계속, 오후, 일요일 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.
