안색이 안 좋아 보이네.
You look pale.
너무 피곤해서 쓰러지기 직전이야.
I'm so tired I'm about to collapse.

엄마, 강아지가 많이 아픈가 봐요. 눈도 반밖에 못 떠요.
Mom, I think the puppy is really sick. It can barely open its eyes halfway.
얼마나 아프면 눈도 채 못 뜰까.
If it's that sick, it probably can't even open its eyes at all.
이 식당은 주문한 지 채 오 분도 안 돼서 음식이 나와요.
At this restaurant, the food comes out in less than five minutes after you order.
기다리지 않고 바로 음식을 먹을 수 있어서 좋네요.
It's nice to be able to eat right away without waiting.
아프다던데 이제는 좀 괜찮아졌어요?
You said you were in pain, but are you feeling better now?
네. 약을 먹으니 효과가 금세 나타나네요.
Yes. The medicine took effect almost immediately.
의사 선생님. 귀에서 고름이 자꾸 나요.
Doctor, pus keeps coming out of my ear.
이런 증상이 지속되면 한번 정밀 검사를 받아 봅시다.
If these symptoms persist, let's get a thorough examination.
새로운 소식이 들어오면 나에게 즉각 알리도록 해.
Make sure to inform me immediately when new news comes in.
예, 소식이 들어오는 대로 바로 알려드리겠습니다.
Yes, I'll let you know right away as soon as news arrives.
기숙사는 24시간 개방되나요?
Is the dormitory open 24 hours?
아니요. 안전상의 문제로 자정이 넘으면 새벽 5시까지 출입할 수 없습니다.
No, for safety reasons, you can't enter or leave from midnight until 5 a.m.
지구가 아무리 자정 작용을 할 수 있으면 뭐 해. 계속 오염되는 것을.
What's the point of the Earth being able to self-purify if it keeps getting polluted?
그러게 말이야. 인간들이 자연을 훼손하는 정도도 크고 속도도 너무 빨라서 그래.
Exactly. Humans are damaging nature too much and too fast.
봉사 활동을 목적으로 처음 이 모임을 시작했는데 최근 그 목적이 희미해졌어.
I started this group for volunteer work, but lately that purpose has faded.
맞아. 게다가 재정적으로 투명하지 못해. 회의 때 자정을 주장하는 건 어때?
Right. Plus, it's not financially transparent. How about we push for self-correction at the meeting?
건강하게 살고 싶으면 너도 운동 좀 해.
If you want to live healthily, you should exercise too.
사는 게 바빠서 어디 운동할 겨를이나 있어야 말이지.
I'm so busy with life that I don't even have time to exercise.
오늘 심은 나무들이 빨리 무럭무럭 자라서 꽃이 피면 좋겠어요.
I hope the trees we planted today grow quickly and bloom.
꽃은 이듬해 봄이면 필 거야. 열매는 몇 년 더 자라야 맺겠지만.
They'll bloom by the next year's spring. The fruit will come after a few more years of growth.
수술 성공 가능성이 높다는데 왜 수술을 망설이는 거야?
They say the surgery has a high chance of success, so why are you hesitating?
의사의 말로는 수술을 해도 향후에 호전될지 악화될지 알 수 없대.
The doctor said that even after the surgery, it's unclear whether things will improve or worsen in the future.
눈이 빨갛게 충혈됐네.
Your eyes are all bloodshot.
응, 시험공부를 하느라 밤을 꼬박 샜거든.
Yeah, I stayed up the whole night studying for the exam.
아까 누구한테 꼬박 머리 숙여 인사하던데?
Who were you bowing to so deeply earlier?
선생님을 오랜만에 뵈었어.
I ran into my teacher after a long time.
수업 시간에 꼬박 조는 바람에 필기를 제대로 못했어.
I dozed off the entire class and couldn't take proper notes.
다음부터는 정신 바짝 차리고 수업을 듣도록 해.
Next time, make sure to pay full attention in class.
나중에 아이를 낳아서 키우려면 돈이 많이 들 거야.
If you have kids later, it's going to cost a lot of money.
그건 먼 훗날의 일이니까 벌써부터 걱정하지 않아도 돼.
That's a problem for the distant future, so you don't need to worry about it now.
저는 언제쯤 승규 선배님처럼 경기에서 골을 넣을 수 있을까요?
When will I ever be able to score a goal in a match like you, Seunggyu sunbae?
하루아침에 되지는 않으니 꾸준히 실력을 갈고닦아야 한다.
It won't happen overnight, so you have to keep honing your skills.
내가 빌리려던 책을 누가 먼저 빌려 갔네?
Someone checked out the book I was going to borrow before me.
네가 한발 늦었구나.
You were a step too late.
과제 제출 기한이 경과를 하였는데 언제까지 제출할래요?
The assignment deadline has passed. By when do you plan to submit it?
내일까지는 꼭 제출할게요.
I'll definitely submit it by tomorrow.
환자의 수술 경과가 어떻습니까?
How is the patient's recovery going after the surgery?
걱정했던 것보다 회복이 빨라 다행입니다.
Fortunately, the recovery is faster than we worried it would be.
학교 왜 휴학했어?
Why did you take a leave of absence from school?
집안 사정이 좋지 않아서 학업을 계속 지속하기가 어려웠어.
My family's situation wasn't good, so it was hard to keep maintaining my studies.
우리 음력 1월 1일에 만날까? 그날 바빠?
Shall we meet on the first day of the first lunar month? Are you free that day?
그날은 정월 초하루이니만큼 큰댁에 세배를 드리러 가야 해.
I have to go pay my respects to my grandparents on New Year's Day.
우리 지금 못 만나면 한참 못 볼 것 같은데.
If we don't meet now, it seems like we won't see each other for a long time.
나중에 또 보면 되지, 뭐. 후일을 기약하자.
We can just meet again later. Let's look forward to a future meeting.
너 미국으로 유학 간다면서?
I heard you're going to study abroad in the U.S.?
응, 다음달 초순이면 준비가 끝날 것 같아.
Yeah, I think I'll be ready by the first ten days of next month.
어느새 삼월의 하순으로 접어들었네.
Before we know it, we're into the last third of March.
응. 삼월도 거의 다 지나가 버렸어. 시간 참 빠르다.
Yeah, March is almost over. Time flies.
초복에 삼계탕도 못 먹었네?
You didn't even get to eat samgyetang on Chobok?
그럼 중복에 삼계탕 먹으러 가자.
Then let's go eat samgyetang on Jungbok.
어라, 나는 이 상품 하나만 주문했는데 왜 두 개가 왔지?
Huh, I only ordered one of this product, but why did two arrive?
마우스 클릭을 잘못한 거 아니야? 중복 주문이 됐나 보다.
Maybe you misclicked? It looks like a duplicate order was placed.
유민 어머니는 못 본 사이에 더 젊어지신 것 같아요.
Yumin's mother seems to have gotten younger since I last saw her.
별말씀을요. 승규 어머니야말로 요즘 나날이 아름다워지시네요.
Not at all. Seunggyu's mother is the one who's getting more beautiful day after day.
하루 종일 걸어 다녔더니 다리에 힘이 없어.
After walking all day, my legs feel weak.
그렇겠다. 그렇게 장시간 걸어 다니면 많이 힘들지.
I bet. Walking for that long must be really tiring.
비가 일주일 가까이 계속 오네.
It's been raining for almost a week.
응. 오늘로 엿새 동안 비가 내렸대.
Yeah. They say it's been raining for six days as of today.
다음 회의는 언제 할까요?
When should we have the next meeting?
다음 달 엿새에 모이도록 합시다.
Let's meet on the sixth of next month.
내가 병원에 입원한 지도 벌써 아흐레나 되었다고 하네요.
They say I've been in the hospital for nine days already.
빨리 나아서 퇴원하셔야지요.
You should get better soon and be discharged.
일월 아흐레에 동창 모임을 가지려고 합니다.
We're planning to have a reunion on the ninth of January.
네, 그럼 그날 봅시다.
Okay, see you then.
민준이가 일주일이 넘게 안 보여.
Minjun hasn't been around for over a week.
그러게, 벌써 여드레나 됐어.
I know, it's already been eight days.
이번 달도 벌써 오 일이나 지났어요.
This month is already five days in.
그래요? 삼 일만 지나면 또 여드레네요.
Really? In just three more days it'll be the eighth.

자주 묻는 질문Common questions
How do you talk about 시간 in Korean?
These 35 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 25 5급 words in this category — 직전, 채, 금세, 지속되다, 즉각 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.
