1. 1

   A 민규야, 나 진짜 떨려. 할머니 할아버지가 나 싫어하시면 어떡해? 기차 타고 오는 내내 조마조마했어.

   Mingyuya, na jinjja tteollyeo. Halmeoni harabeojiga na sireohasimyeon eotteokae? Gicha tago oneun naenae jomajomahaesseo.

   Mingyu, I'm so nervous. What if your grandma and grandpa don't like me? I've been on edge the whole train ride.

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 걱정 마. 우리 할매, 할배는 손님 오면 무조건 좋아하셔. 대신 음식은 각오해야 돼.

   Geokjeong ma. Uri halmae, halbaeneun sonnim omyeon mujogeon joahasyeo. Daesin eumsigeun gagohaeya dwae.

   Don't worry. My gran and grandpa love it whenever guests come. But you'd better be ready for the food.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 음식? 많이 차려 주신다는 거야? 그건 좋은 거 아니야?

   Eumsik? Mani charyeo jusindaneun geoya? Geugeon joeun geo aniya?

   The food? You mean they'll lay on a lot? Isn't that a good thing?

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 많이 차리시는 게 문제가 아니라 끝까지 먹이시는 게 문제지. 우리 할배는 딱 이러셔. "아가씨, 사양 말고 어서 드시구려."

   Mani charisineun ge munjega anira kkeutkkaji meogisineun ge munjeji. Uri halbaeneun ttak ireosyeo. "Agassi, sayang malgo eoseo deusiguryeo."

   The problem isn't how much they serve, it's that they keep feeding you to the end. My grandpa goes exactly like this: "Young lady, don't stand on ceremony. Eat, I pray you."

   Line 4
5. 5

   A '드시구려'? 사극에서나 듣던 말투다. 할아버지가 진짜 그렇게 말씀하셔?

   'Deusiguryeo'? Sageugeseona deutdeon maltuda. Harabeojiga jinjja geureoke malsseumhasyeo?

   'Eat, I pray you'? I've only heard that kind of talk in historical dramas. Does your grandpa really talk like that?

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 손님한테는 그러셔. 네가 한 그릇 비우잖아? 그럼 바로 "한 그릇 더 드시구려"가 나와. 한사코 거절하면 서운해하시고.

   Sonnimhanteneun geureosyeo. Nega han geureut biujana? Geureom baro "han geureut deo deusiguryeo"ga nawa. Hansako geojeolhamyeon seounhaehasigo.

   With guests, he does. Once you finish a bowl? Right away it's "Have another bowl, I pray you." And if you flatly refuse, he gets hurt.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 난 원래 적게 먹는데... 그럼 몇 그릇까지 먹어야 되는 거야?

   Nan wollae jeokge meongneunde... geureom myeot geureutkkaji meogeoya doeneun geoya?

   But I don't eat much... So how many bowls am I supposed to eat?

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 팁을 하나 줄게. 밥을 조금 남겨 두는 거야. 그릇을 다 비우면 계속 채워 주시거든.

   Tibeul hana julge. Babeul jogeum namgyeo duneun geoya. Geureuseul da biumyeon gyesok chaewo jusigeodeun.

   Here's a tip. Leave a little rice. If you empty the bowl, they'll just keep refilling it.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 알았어. 근데 더 걱정되는 건 할머니야. 지난번 영상 통화 때 할머니가 "와 이래 말랐노?" 하셔서 혼나는 줄 알았어.

   Arasseo. Geunde deo geokjeongdoeneun geon halmeoniya. Jinanbeon yeongsang tonghwa ttae halmeoniga "wa irae mallanno?" Hasyeoseo honnaneun jul arasseo.

   Okay. But what worries me more is your gran. On the video call last time she said "Why are you so skinny?" and I thought I was being told off.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 그건 걱정해 주시는 거야. 우리 할매가 원래 목소리가 좀 크걸랑. 부산 사투리는 억양이 세서 화난 것처럼 들려.

    Geugeon geokjeonghae jusineun geoya. Uri halmaega wollae moksoriga jom keugeollang. Busan saturineun eogyangi seseo hwanan geotcheoreom deullyeo.

    That's her worrying about you. My gran just has a loud voice, see. Busan dialect has strong intonation, so it sounds angry.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 그리고 할머니가 "됐다 마!" 하시면 그건 무슨 뜻이야? 그것도 좀 무섭던데.

    Geurigo halmeoniga "dwaetda ma!" Hasimyeon geugeon museun tteusiya? Geugeotdo jom museopdeonde.

    And what does it mean when your gran says "Enough, you!"? That sounded a bit scary too.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 상황마다 달라. 선물을 드렸는데 "됐다 마" 하시면 이런 걸 뭐 하러 사 왔냐는 뜻이야. 속으로는 엄청 좋아하시는 거고.

    Sanghwangmada dalla. Seonmureul deuryeonneunde "dwaetda ma" hasimyeon ireon geol mwo hareo sa wannyaneun tteusiya. Sogeuroneun eomcheong joahasineun geogo.

    It depends. If you give her a present and she says "Enough, you," she means you shouldn't have bothered. Inside, she's absolutely delighted.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 겉으로는 무뚝뚝한데 속은 따뜻하다는 거지? 그럼 나는 뭐라고 대답해야 돼?

    Geoteuroneun muttukttukande sogeun ttatteutadaneun geoji? Geureom naneun mworago daedapaeya dwae?

    So they're gruff on the outside but warm on the inside? Then what should I say back?

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 그냥 웃으면서 "잘 먹겠습니다!" 하고 크게 말하면 돼. 우리 할배는 목소리 큰 사람을 좋아하시걸랑.

    Geunyang useumyeonseo "jal meokgetseumnida!" Hago keuge malhamyeon dwae. Uri halbaeneun moksori keun sarameul joahasigeollang.

    Just smile and say "Thank you for the meal!" nice and loud. My grandpa likes people with loud voices, see.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 사투리로 인사하면 어때? "할매요, 반갑습니데이!" 이런 식으로.

    Saturiro insahamyeon eottae? "Halmaeyo, bangapseumnidei!" Ireon sigeuro.

    What if I greet them in dialect? Like, "Gran, lovely to meet ya!"

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 하하, 억양이 너무 어설퍼. 완전 서울 사람이다. 그래도 할매는 그거 들으면 정감 있다고 좋아하실 거야.

    Haha, eogyangi neomu eoseolpeo. Wanjeon Seoul saramida. Geuraedo halmaeneun geugeo deureumyeon jeonggam itdago joahasil geoya.

    Ha ha, your intonation's so clumsy. Total Seoul girl. But Gran would love hearing it anyway. She'd find it sweet.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 진짜? 그럼 네가 할아버지 역할 좀 해 봐. 나 연습할래. 이러다 도착하면 또 머리가 하얘질 것 같아.

    Jinjja? Geureom nega harabeoji yeokhal jom hae bwa. Na yeonseupallae. Ireoda dochakamyeon tto meoriga hayaejil geot gata.

    Really? Then you play your grandpa for a bit. I want to practise. At this rate my mind will go blank when we get there.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 좋아. 에헴. "먼 길 오느라 욕봤구려. 차린 건 없지만 어서 많이 드시구려."

    Joa. Ehem. "Meon gil oneura yokbwatguryeo. Charin geon eopjiman eoseo mani deusiguryeo."

    Okay. Ahem. "You've had a hard journey, coming all this way. There's not much on the table, but please, eat plenty."

    Line 18
19. 19

    A "잘 먹겠습니데이! 할배요, 이거 진짜 맛있네예!" 어때, 합격?

    "Jal meokgetseumnidei! Halbaeyo, igeo jinjja masinneye!" Eottae, hapgyeok?

    "Thank ya for the meal! Grandpa, this is really tasty!" How was that? Did I pass?

    Line 19
20. 20

    B 합격. 근데 할배 앞에서 그렇게 하면 한 그릇이 아니라 "세 그릇 드시구려"가 나온다.

    Hapgyeok. Geunde halbae apeseo geureoke hamyeon han geureusi anira "se geureut deusiguryeo"ga naonda.

    You pass. But if you do that in front of Grandpa, it won't be one bowl. It'll be "Have three bowls, I pray you."

    Line 20
21. 21

    A 괜찮아, 오늘을 위해서 아침도 굶었어. 기차 내리면 바로 할머니 댁이야?

    Gwaenchana, oneureul wihaeseo achimdo gulmeosseo. Gicha naerimyeon baro halmeoni daegiya?

    That's fine, I skipped breakfast for today. Is your gran's place right after we get off the train?

    Line 21
22. 22

    B 응, 부산역에서 버스로 삼십 분. 말투가 좀 투박해도 정은 넘치는 분들이니까 긴장 풀어. 할매가 벌써 대문 앞에 나와 계신대.

    Eung, Busannyeogeseo beoseuro samsip bun. Maltuga jom tubakaedo jeongeun neomchineun bundeurinikka ginjang pureo. Halmaega beolsseo daemun ape nawa gyesindae.

    Yeah, thirty minutes by bus from Busan Station. They may talk a bit rough, but they're full of warmth, so relax. Apparently Gran's already waiting out by the front gate.
