Day 19: Teacher Tries Saying Kingbatne

After class at an elementary school, a class teacher (B) asks Jiyu (A), a fifth-grader in her class, to stay behind for a moment.

How to study this lesson 4 steps
  1. Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
  2. Read the dialogue line by line with its translation, until every line makes sense. Still learning Hangul? Tick Romanization to see how each line sounds, but read the Korean first.
  3. Download the Anki deck below and review it every day. It has every line of today's dialogue. Review earlier decks too when Anki asks you to.
  4. Spend at least 30 minutes listening to native Korean, for example from the Resources page. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it yet.

Dialogue

Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.

  1. B μ§€μœ μ•Ό, 잠깐 남을 수 μžˆλ‹ˆ? μ„ μƒλ‹˜μ΄ λ¬Όμ–΄λ³Ό 게 μžˆμ–΄μ„œ. ν˜Όλ‚΄λ €λŠ” κ±° μ•„λ‹ˆλ‹ˆκΉŒ κ±±μ •ν•˜μ§€ 말고.

    Jiyuya, jamkkan nameul su inni? Seonsaengnimi mureobol ge isseoseo. Honnaeryeoneun geo aninikka geokjeonghaji malgo.

    Jiyu, can you stay behind a moment? I want to ask you something. You're not in trouble, so don't worry.

  2. A λ„€, μ„ μƒλ‹˜. 무슨 μΌμ΄μ—μš”? μ œκ°€ λ‹¨ν†‘λ°©μ—μ„œ 뭐 잘λͺ»ν–ˆμ–΄μš”?

    Ne, seonsaengnim. Museun irieyo? Jega dantokbangeseo mwo jalmotaesseoyo?

    Okay. What is it? Did I do something wrong in the group chat?

  3. B μ•„λ‹ˆ, 그게 μ•„λ‹ˆλΌ... μ„ μƒλ‹˜μ΄ 반 단톑방을 봐야 ν•˜λŠ”λ°, λ„ˆν¬κ°€ μ“°λŠ” 말을 μ ˆλ°˜λ„ λͺ» μ•Œμ•„λ“£κ² μ–΄. 이것 μ’€ 봐. 'ν‚Ήλ°›λ„€'κ°€ 무슨 λœ»μ΄μ•Ό?

    Ani, geuge anira... seonsaengnimi ban dantokbangeul bwaya haneunde, neohuiga sseuneun mareul jeolbando mot aradeutgesseo. Igeot jom bwa. 'Kingbanne'ga museun tteusiya?

    No, it's not that... I'm supposed to keep an eye on the class group chat, but I can't understand half of what you all write. Look at this. What does "kingbatne" mean?

  4. A μ•„, κ·Έκ±°μš”. 'μ—΄λ°›λ„€'λž‘ λΉ„μŠ·ν•œ 뜻인데, 더 μ„Έκ²Œ λ§ν•˜λŠ” κ±°μ˜ˆμš”. 'ν‚Ή'이 λΆ™μœΌλ©΄ 'μ—„μ²­'μ΄λΌλŠ” 뜻이 λΌμš”.

    A, geugeoyo. 'Yeolbanne'rang biseutan tteusinde, deo sege malhaneun geoyeyo. 'King'i buteumyeon 'eomcheong'iraneun tteusi dwaeyo.

    Oh, that. It's like "so annoying," but stronger. When you add "king," it means "super."

  5. B μ—΄λ°›λŠ”λ‹€λŠ” κ±°μ˜€μ–΄? μ„ μƒλ‹˜μ€ μž„κΈˆλ‹˜μ²˜λŸΌ λŒ€μ ‘λ°›λŠ”λ‹€λŠ” 뜻인 쀄 μ•Œμ•˜λ„€. 그럼 'μ–΄μ©”ν‹°λΉ„'λŠ”?

    Yeolbanneundaneun geoyeosseo? Seonsaengnimeun imgeumnimcheoreom daejeopbanneundaneun tteusin jul aranne. Geureom 'eojjeoltibi'neun?

    It means annoyed? I thought it meant being treated like a king. Then what about "eojjeol-TV"?

  6. A 그건 'μ–΄μ©ŒλΌκ³ 'λΌλŠ” λœ»μ΄μ—μš”. μΉœκ΅¬κ°€ μž”μ†Œλ¦¬ν•  λ•Œ μž₯λ‚œμœΌλ‘œ ν•˜λŠ” λ§μ΄μ—μš”. λΉ„μ†μ–΄λŠ” μ•„λ‹Œλ°, μ–΄λ₯Έν•œν…Œ ν•˜λ©΄ μ§„μ§œ λ²„λ¦‡μ—†λŠ” κ±°μ˜ˆμš”.

    Geugeon 'eojjeorago'raneun tteusieyo. Chinguga jansorihal ttae jangnaneuro haneun marieyo. Bisogeoneun aninde, eoreunhante hamyeon jinjja beoreuseomneun geoyeyo.

    That means "So what?" You say it as a joke when a friend is nagging you. It's not a swear word, but if you say it to a grown-up, it's really rude.

  7. B 휴, 닀행이닀. μ„ μƒλ‹˜μ΄ μ–΄μ œ κ΅λ¬΄μ‹€μ—μ„œ ꡐ감 μ„ μƒλ‹˜ν•œν…Œ ν•œλ²ˆ 써 볼까 ν–ˆκ±°λ“ .

    Hyu, dahaengida. Seonsaengnimi eoje gyomusireseo gyogam seonsaengnimhante hanbeon sseo bolkka haetgeodeun.

    Phew, lucky me. I was thinking of trying it on the vice-principal in the staff room yesterday.

  8. A μ„ μƒλ‹˜! μ ˆλŒ€ μ•ˆ λΌμš”. 그러면 μ§„μ§œ 큰일 λ‚˜μš”.

    Seonsaengnim! Jeoldae an dwaeyo. Geureomyeon jinjja keunil nayo.

    No way! Don't ever do that. You'd be in real trouble.

  9. B μ•Œμ•˜μ–΄, μ•Œμ•˜μ–΄. λ„ˆν¬λž‘ 지내노라면 μƒˆλ§μ΄ 끝이 μ—†μ–΄. λ‹€ λ”°λΌκ°ˆ 엄두가 μ•ˆ λ‚˜. μž‘λ…„μ— 배운 말은 벌써 아무도 μ•ˆ μ“°κ³ .

    Arasseo, arasseo. Neohuirang jinaenoramyeon saemari kkeuchi eopseo. Da ttaragal eomduga an na. Jangnyeone baeun mareun beolsseo amudo an sseugo.

    Okay, okay. Spend time with you kids and the new words never end. I can't even dream of keeping up. The ones I learned last year, nobody even uses anymore.

  10. A λ§žμ•„μš”. μž‘λ…„μ— μœ ν–‰ν•œ 말을 μ§€κΈˆ μ“°λ©΄ μ’€ μ˜›λ‚  μ‚¬λžŒ κ°™μ•„μš”. μ„ μƒλ‹˜μ΄ 'κ°‘λΆ„μ‹Έ' 같은 말을 μ“°μ‹œλ©΄ 애듀이 웃을 κ±°μ˜ˆμš”.

    Majayo. Jangnyeone yuhaenghan mareul jigeum sseumyeon jom yennal saram gatayo. Seonsaengnimi 'gapbunssa' gateun mareul sseusimyeon aedeuri useul geoyeyo.

    That's right. If you use last year's words now, you sound a bit old. If you said something like "gapbunssa," everyone would laugh.

  11. B μ˜›λ‚  μ‚¬λžŒμ΄λΌλ‹ˆ. μ„ μƒλ‹˜κΉŒμ§€ 이런 말을 λ°°μš°λŠ” λ§ˆλ‹Ήμ— μ˜›λ‚  μ‚¬λžŒ μ†Œλ¦¬λ₯Ό λ“€μœΌλ©΄ μ„œμš΄ν•˜μ§€. 그럼 'μ•Œμž˜λ”±κΉ”μ„Ό'은 뭐야? 무슨 μ£Όλ¬Έ 같은데.

    Yennal saramirani. Seonsaengnimkkaji ireon mareul baeuneun madange yennal saram sorireul deureumyeon seounhaji. Geureom 'aljalttakkkalsen'eun mwoya? Museun jumun gateunde.

    Old? When even your teacher is learning words like this, being called old stings. Then what's "aljalttakkkalsen"? It sounds like a magic spell.

  12. A 'μ•Œμ•„μ„œ 잘 λ”± κΉ”λ”ν•˜κ³  μ„ΌμŠ€ 있게'μš”. μ•ž κΈ€μžλ§Œ λ”΄ κ±°μ˜ˆμš”. λͺ¨λ‘  ν™œλ™ν•  λ•Œ 애듀이 많이 μ¨μš”.

    'Araseo jal ttak kkalkkeumhago senseu itge'yo. Ap geuljaman ttan geoyeyo. Modum hwaldonghal ttae aedeuri mani sseoyo.

    "Do it yourself, well, neatly and with some sense." It's just the first letters. Kids use it a lot in group work.

  13. B μ•ž κΈ€μžλ§Œ λ”°λŠ” κ±°λ©΄ μ„ μƒλ‹˜λ„ ν•  수 μžˆκ² λ‹€. λ§žμΆ€λ²•μ€ 엉망이 λ˜κ² μ§€λ§Œ.

    Ap geuljaman ttaneun geomyeon seonsaengnimdo hal su itgetda. Matchumbeobeun eongmangi doegetjiman.

    If it's just first letters, even I can do that. Though spelling will go out the window.

  14. A κ·Έλž˜λ„ 애듀이 κ³΅μ±…μ΄λ‚˜ μ‹œν—˜μ§€μ—λŠ” μ œλŒ€λ‘œ μ¨μš”. λ‹¨ν†‘λ°©μ—μ„œλ§Œ κ·ΈλŸ¬λŠ” κ±°μ˜ˆμš”. κ±±μ •ν•˜μ§€ λ§ˆμ„Έμš”.

    Geuraedo aedeuri gongchaegina siheomjieneun jedaero sseoyo. Dantokbangeseoman geureoneun geoyeyo. Geokjeonghaji maseyo.

    But everyone spells properly in their notebooks and tests. It's only in the group chat. Don't worry.

  15. B 그래, λ―Ώμ–΄ 볼게. 그럼 μ„ μƒλ‹˜μ΄ 였늘 μ•Œλ¦Όμž₯에 ν•œλ²ˆ 써 볼까? "내일 μ€€λΉ„λ¬Ό κΌ­ μ±™κΈ°κΈ°! μ•ˆ μ±™κΈ°λ©΄ μ„ μƒλ‹˜ ν‚Ήλ°›λ„€!"

    Geurae, mideo bolge. Geureom seonsaengnimi oneul allimjange hanbeon sseo bolkka? "Naeil junbimul kkok chaenggigi! An chaenggimyeon seonsaengnim kingbanne!"

    All right, I'll trust you. So shall I try it in today's class notice? "Don't forget your supplies tomorrow! If you do, your teacher will be kingbatne!"

  16. A μ„ μƒλ‹˜... 그건 μ’€... μ„ μƒλ‹˜μ΄ μ“°μ‹œλ‹ˆκΉŒ 였히렀 λ¬΄μ„œμ›Œμš”. 그리고 'ν‚Ήλ°›λ„€'λŠ” μ›λž˜ 혼잣말처럼 ν•˜λŠ” λ§μ΄μ—μš”.

    Seonsaengnim... geugeon jom... seonsaengnimi sseusinikka ohiryeo museowoyo. Geurigo 'kingbanne'neun wollae honjanmalcheoreom haneun marieyo.

    Um... that's kind of... When you write it, it's actually scary. And "kingbatne" is really something you say to yourself.

  17. B 무섭닀고? μ„ μƒλ‹˜μ€ μΉœκ·Όν•˜κ²Œ 보이렀고 그런 건데, λ―Όλ§ν•˜λ„€.

    Museopdago? Seonsaengnimeun chingeunhage boiryeogo geureon geonde, minmanghane.

    Scary? I was trying to seem friendly. How embarrassing.

  18. A μ• λ“€ 말둜 ν•˜λ©΄ 'ν‚Ήλ°›λŠ”' 게 μ•„λ‹ˆλΌ 'ν‚Ήλ¬΄μ„œμš΄' κ±°μ˜ˆμš”. μ•„λ§ˆ λ‹€λ“€ 아무 말도 λͺ» ν•  κ±°μ˜ˆμš”.

    Aedeul mallo hamyeon 'kingbanneun' ge anira 'kingmuseoun' geoyeyo. Ama dadeul amu maldo mot hal geoyeyo.

    In kids' words, it's not "king-annoying," it's "king-scary." Everyone would probably be too scared to say anything.

  19. B λ„€κ°€ μ΄λ ‡κ²Œ μΉœμ ˆν•˜κ²Œ κ°€λ₯΄μ³ μ€¬λŠ”λ°λ„ μ‹€νŒ¨ν•œ λ§ˆλ‹Ήμ—, μ„ μƒλ‹˜μ€ κ·Έλƒ₯ μ›λž˜ 말투둜 λŒμ•„κ°€μ•Όκ² λ‹€.

    Nega ireoke chinjeolhage gareuchyeo jwonneundedo silpaehan madange, seonsaengnimeun geunyang wollae malturo doragayagetda.

    Since I've failed even after you taught me so kindly, I think I'll just go back to talking like myself.

  20. A λ„€, μ„ μƒλ‹˜μ€ κ·Έλƒ₯ 'μ°Έ μž˜ν–ˆμ–΄μš”' 도μž₯ 찍어 μ£Όμ‹œλŠ” 게 제일 μ’‹μ•„μš”. 그건 애듀이 λ‹€ ν‚Ήμ •μ΄μ—μš”.

    Ne, seonsaengnimeun geunyang 'cham jalhaesseoyo' dojang jjigeo jusineun ge jeil joayo. Geugeon aedeuri da kingjeongieyo.

    Yes, you're best when you just give us your "Well done!" stamp. All the kids king-agree on that.
