Let's take a short break under that chestnut tree.
싫어. 그러다가 뾰족한 밤송이에 맞으면 어떡해?

몇 년 전에 사과나무 묘목을 사다가 마당에 심었는데 벌써 이만큼 자랐지 뭐야.
A few years ago I bought an apple tree sapling and planted it in the yard, and it's already grown this much.

The bird flu virus is killed by cooking at high heat, so you can still eat fried chicken.

자주 묻는 질문Common questions
How do you talk about 식물류 in Korean?
These 26 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 20 ungraded words in this category — 관목, 덩굴, 밤나무, 묘목, 이끼 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.
