It really is. Looks like a shower is coming.
저 배우는 항상 작품 활동이 끊이지 않네. 평판도 나빴던 적이 없고 말이야.
That actor never stops working. And they've never had a bad reputation either.
그렇게 인기를 얻어도 사람이 늘 한결같이 변하지 않으니 누구나가 좋아할 수밖에 없지.

귀걸이 한 쪽이 없네?

장사는 잘되어 가?
How's business going?
응, 요즘같이 장사가 잘되면 본전은 금방 빠질 것 같아.
Yeah, if it keeps going this well, we'll quickly recoup our investment.
분명히 삼십만 원이 있었는데 왜 이십오만 원 밖에 없지?
I clearly had 300,000 won, so why is there only 250,000?
누가 가져간 게 분명해. 그렇지 않으면 오만 원이나 빠질 리가 없어.
Someone must have taken it. Otherwise, 50,000 won couldn't just disappear.
승규는 요새 사람들에게 돈을 빌리고 다닌다며?
I heard Seunggyu's been borrowing money from people lately.

The button on your shirt looks like it's about to fall off.
정말이네? 집에 가서 다시 단단히 달아야겠다.
Really? I'll have to sew it back on firmly when I get home.
민준아, 오늘 치과 가니?
Minjun, are you going to the dentist today?
응. 가서 상한 충치를 빼려고.
Yeah, I'm going to get a bad cavity pulled out.
그 집 아들은 주말에 공부 좀 해요?

웬걸요, 잠자는 시간 빼고는 계속 컴퓨터 게임만 해요.
No way, except for sleeping time, he just plays computer games all the time.

자주 묻는 질문Common questions
How do you talk about 신체 변화 in Korean?
These 23 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 9 2급 words in this category — 나이, 변하다, 빠지다, 달리다, 빼다 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.
