맞아. 힘든 일을 항상 함께 해서 싸울 일이 없어.
Right. We always go through hard times together, so we never have anything to fight about.
가족은 어떻게 되나요?
How is your family?
저희 부부는 홀로 계신 어머니를 모시고 살고 있습니다.
My wife and I live with and take care of my elderly mother who lives alone.
오늘 선생님 모시고 식사하기로 했다며?
I heard you're having dinner with the teacher today?

저 자매는 서로 많이 닮았어.
Those sisters look a lot alike.

Yes, that hero's courage is truly a virtue we should learn from.
요새 살이 확 찐 거 있지?
I've really put on some weight lately, haven't I?
매일 먹기만 하고 운동은 안 하니까 그렇지.
That's what happens when you only eat and never exercise.

I bought this snow crab myself at the seafood market.
이야, 속에 살이 꽉 찬 게 아주 맛있겠는데?
Wow, it's packed with meat—looks delicious!
참외는 씨가 맛있는데 넌 왜 씨는 다 발라내고 살만 먹어?
The seeds are the best part of a melon, so why do you pick them all out and only eat the flesh?
난 씨보다 살 부분이 더 맛있더라.
I think the flesh tastes better than the seeds.
명절 때마다 네가 친척 동생들을 다 돌본다고?
You say you take care of all your younger relatives every holiday?

These 29 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 15 2급 words in this category — 엄마, 아빠, 자식, 부부, 모시다 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.
