   A 아가씨! 자갈치 가는교? 거 서 있지 말고 퍼뜩 여 앉으소!

   Agassi! Jagalchi ganeungyo? Geo seo itji malgo peotteuk yeo anjeuso!

   Miss! Going to Jagalchi? Don't stand there - quick, come and sit down here!

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 네? 죄, 죄송합니다. 제가 뭘 잘못했나요? 가방이 걸리적거렸어요?

   Ne? Joe, joesonghamnida. Jega mwol jalmotaennayo? Gabangi geollijeokgeoryeosseoyo?

   Sorry? I-I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong? Was my bag in the way?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 잘못은 무슨. 지도를 뚫어지게 보고 있길래 도와줄라 캤지요. 자갈치 가는 거 맞지요?

   Jalmoseun museun. Jidoreul ttureojige bogo itgillae dowajulla kaetjiyo. Jagalchi ganeun geo matjiyo?

   Wrong? Not at all. You were staring so hard at the map, I only wanted to help. You're going to Jagalchi, aren't you?

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 네, 맞아요. 근데 어르신께서 대뜸 큰 소리로 말씀하셔서 저 혼나는 줄 알았어요. 영락없이 화나신 줄 알았다니까요.

   Ne, majayo. Geunde eoreusinkkeseo daetteum keun soriro malsseumhasyeoseo jeo honnaneun jul arasseoyo. Yeongnageopsi hwanasin jul aratdanikkayo.

   Yes, that's right. But you called out so loudly all of a sudden that I thought I was being told off. I was absolutely sure you were angry.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 하하, 내 화난 거 아이라요. 부산 사람 말이 원래 이래요. 억양이 세가 그렇지, 속은 억수로 부드러운 기라요.

   Haha, nae hwanan geo airayo. Busan saram mari wollae iraeyo. Eogyangi sega geureochi, sogeun eoksuro budeureoun girayo.

   Ha ha, I'm not angry. That's just how Busan folk talk. The intonation's strong, that's all - inside we're soft as anything, you know.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 억양이요? 서울에서는 그렇게 크게 말하면 싸우자는 걸로 알아듣거든요. 저 정말 어리둥절했어요.

   Eogyangiyo? Seoureseoneun geureoke keuge malhamyeon ssaujaneun geollo aradeutgeodeunyo. Jeo jeongmal eoridungjeolhaesseoyo.

   The intonation? In Seoul, if you talk that loudly, people think you're picking a fight. I was really bewildered.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 그러니까 서울 사람들은 우리 말 듣고 싸우는 줄 알기 일쑤라요. 우리는 반가워서 그러는 긴데요.

   Geureonikka Seoul saramdeureun uri mal deutgo ssauneun jul algi ilssurayo. Urineun bangawoseo geureoneun gindeyo.

   That's why Seoul folk are forever thinking we're fighting when they hear us. We're only being friendly.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 아, 그럼 아까 '퍼뜩 앉으소'도 화내신 게 아니라 친절하게 말씀하신 거예요? 제가 완전히 오해했네요.

   A, geureom akka 'peotteuk anjeuso'do hwanaesin ge anira chinjeolhage malsseumhasin geoyeyo? Jega wanjeonhi ohaehaenneyo.

   Oh, so earlier, when you said 'sit down quick,' you weren't angry, you were being kind? I completely misunderstood.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 하모요. 빨리 앉으라는 말이지요. 서서 가면 다리 아프다 아입니꺼.

   Hamoyo. Ppalli anjeuraneun marijiyo. Seoseo gamyeon dari apeuda aimnikkeo.

   Of course. It just means sit down quickly. If you stand the whole way, your legs'll ache, won't they?

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 부산 사투리는 드라마에서만 들어 봤는데, 직접 들으니까 속도가 엄청 빠르네요.

    Busan saturineun deuramaeseoman deureo bwanneunde, jikjeop deureunikka sokdoga eomcheong ppareuneyo.

    I've only ever heard Busan dialect in TV dramas, but hearing it for real, it's so fast.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 그 드라마 사투리는 반은 가짜라요. 배우들이 억양을 흉내만 내가, 부산 사람이 들으면 간지러워 죽겠어요.

    Geu deurama saturineun baneun gajjarayo. Baeudeuri eogyangeul hyungnaeman naega, Busan sarami deureumyeon ganjireowo jukgesseoyo.

    Half of that TV dialect is fake. The actors just copy the intonation, so to a Busan person it's cringe-making.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 그럼 진짜 부산 사투리 하나만 가르쳐 주세요. 제가 아는 부산 말이라고는 드라마에서 들은 '밥 뭇나'밖에 없거든요.

    Geureom jinjja Busan saturi hanaman gareuchyeo juseyo. Jega aneun Busan mariragoneun deuramaeseo deureun 'bap munna'bakke eopgeodeunyo.

    Then teach me one piece of real Busan dialect. The only Busan words I know are 'Had yer dinner?' from a TV drama.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 제일 유명한 거는 '가가 가가?'라요. 그 아이가 그 아이냐는 말인데, 억양으로만 뜻을 구분하지요.

    Jeil yumyeonghan geoneun 'gaga gaga?'rayo. Geu aiga geu ainyaneun marinde, eogyangeuroman tteuseul gubunhajiyo.

    The most famous one is 'Ga-ga ga-ga?' It means 'Is that kid the same kid?' You can only tell the meaning from the intonation.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 가가 가가? 저한테는 다 똑같이 들리는데요. 억양이 이렇게 중요할 줄은 몰랐어요.

    Gaga gaga? Jeohanteneun da ttokgachi deullineundeyo. Eogyangi ireoke jungyohal jureun mollasseoyo.

    Ga-ga ga-ga? It all sounds the same to me. I had no idea intonation mattered this much.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 그렇지요. 근데 요새 젊은이들은 사투리라고는 한마디도 안 써요. 우리 손주도 서울말만 하고요.

    Geureochiyo. Geunde yosae jeolmeunideureun saturiragoneun hanmadido an sseoyo. Uri sonjudo seoulmalman hagoyo.

    That's right. But young people these days don't speak a single word of dialect. Even my grandson only speaks Seoul Korean.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 왜요? 부산 사투리 멋있는데요. 요즘은 오히려 매력 있다고들 하던데요.

    Waeyo? Busan saturi meosinneundeyo. Yojeumeun ohiryeo maeryeok itdagodeul hadeondeyo.

    Why? Busan dialect is cool. These days people actually say it's charming.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 학교에서, 회사에서 촌스럽다 카니까 그렇지요. 면접 볼 때 사투리 쓰면 손해 본다 카대요.

    Hakgyoeseo, hoesaeseo chonseureopda kanikka geureochiyo. Myeonjeop bol ttae saturi sseumyeon sonhae bonda kadaeyo.

    Because at school and at work they call it uncool. I hear you lose out if you speak dialect at a job interview.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 아... 그건 좀 아쉽네요. 말투 하나에도 그 동네 역사가 다 담겨 있는 건데요.

    A... geugeon jom aswimneyo. Maltu hanaedo geu dongne yeoksaga da damgyeo inneun geondeyo.

    Oh... that's a bit of a shame. Even a way of talking carries the whole history of a place.

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 맞아요, 아가씨가 말을 참 잘하네요. 우리 손주는 할배 말투가 무섭다면서 전화도 잘 안 해요.

    Majayo, agassiga mareul cham jalhaneyo. Uri sonjuneun halbae maltuga museopdamyeonseo jeonhwado jal an haeyo.

    That's right, you put that well, miss. My grandson says his grandpa's way of talking is scary, so he hardly ever calls.

    Line 19
20. 20

    B 그럼 손주분께 오늘 얘기해 주세요. 서울 사람도 어르신 말투 다 알아들었다고요.

    Geureom sonjubunkke oneul yaegihae juseyo. Seoul saramdo eoreusin maltu da aradeureotdagoyo.

    Then tell your grandson about today. Tell him even a Seoul person understood every word you said.

    Line 20
21. 21

    A 하하, 그라까요? 아, 다음이 자갈치역이라요. 내리가 시장 쪽으로 쭉 가면 돼요. 짐 단디 챙기고요.

    Haha, geurakkayo? A, daeumi Jagalchiyeogirayo. Naeriga sijang jjogeuro jjuk gamyeon dwaeyo. Jim Dandi chaenggigoyo.

    Ha ha, shall I? Oh, the next stop is Jagalchi. When you get off, go straight toward the market. And keep a good hold on your things.

    Line 21
22. 22

    B 감사합니다, 어르신. 방금 그 '단디 챙기고요'도 화내신 거 아니죠?

    Gamsahamnida, eoreusin. Banggeum geu 'dandi chaenggigoyo'do hwanaesin geo anijyo?

    Thank you, sir. That 'keep a good hold on your things' just now - you weren't angry, were you?

    Line 22
23. 23

    A 하하, 이제 좀 알아듣네요. 그거는 걱정해 주는 말이라요. 부산 말은 크게 할수록 정이 많은 기라요.

    Haha, ije jom aradeunneyo. Geugeoneun geokjeonghae juneun marirayo. Busan mareun keuge halsurok jeongi maneun girayo.

    Ha ha, now you're getting it. That's me looking out for you. In Busan, the louder you say it, the more you care.

    Line 23
24. 24

    B 그럼 저 오늘 엄청 사랑받은 거네요. 조심히 가세요, 어르신!

    Geureom jeo oneul eomcheong sarangbadeun geoneyo. Josimhi gaseyo, eoreusin!

    Then I've been shown a lot of love today. Take care, sir!

    Line 24
