잠깐만요. 가위로 끊어 드릴게요.

Just a moment. I'll cut it with scissors.

너 어쩌면 그렇게 소식을 딱 끊고 사니?

자주 묻는 질문Common questions

How do you talk about 통신 행위 in Korean?

These 19 exchanges are the dictionary's own examples for the 10 2급 words in this category — 광고, 소식, 끊다, 신호, 연락하다 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.
