Day 74: Splitting Festival Booth Profits

The day after the school festival, classmates Taemin (A) and Seoyun (B), who ran a tteokbokki stall together, sit down to divide the money.

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.

  1. A μ„œμœ€μ•„, μ •μ‚° λ‹€ ν–ˆμ–΄. 맀좜이 μ˜€μ‹­νŒ”λ§Œ 원이고, μž¬λ£ŒλΉ„λž‘ λΆ€μŠ€ λΉ„μš© λΉΌλ©΄ λ”± μ‚¬μ‹­λ§Œ 원 λ‚¨μ•˜μ–΄.

    Seoyuna, jeongsan da haesseo. Maechuri osippalman wonigo, jaeryobirang buseu biyong ppaemyeon ttak sasimman won namasseo.

    Seoyun, I've done the accounts. We took 580,000 won, and after ingredients and the booth fee, there's exactly 400,000 left.

  2. B 였, 생각보닀 λ§Žλ‹€. 그럼 μž¬λ£ŒλΉ„λŠ” λ‚΄κ°€ λƒˆμœΌλ‹ˆκΉŒ, λ‚΄κ°€ μ΄μ‹­μ‚¬λ§Œ, λ„€κ°€ μ‹­μœ‘λ§Œ. 윑 λŒ€ 사 μ–΄λ•Œ?

    O, saenggakboda manta. Geureom jaeryobineun naega naesseunikka, naega isipsaman, nega simnyungman. Yuk dae sa eottae?

    Oh, more than I thought. Since I paid for the ingredients, I take 240,000 and you take 160,000. Sixty-forty, how's that?

  3. A 뭐? λ–‘λ³Άμ΄λŠ” λ‚΄κ°€ 일곱 μ‹œκ°„ λ™μ•ˆ 뢈 μ•žμ—μ„œ λ³Άμ•˜λŠ”λ°? λ„Œ 쀑간에 λŒ„μŠ€ 곡연 κ°„λ‹€κ³  두 μ‹œκ°„μ΄λ‚˜ λΉ μ‘Œμž–μ•„.

    Mwo? Tteokbokkineun naega ilgop sigan dongan bul apeseo bokkanneunde? Neon junggane daenseu gongyeon gandago du siganina ppajyeotjana.

    What? I stood over the stove stirring tteokbokki for seven hours! You disappeared for two hours in the middle for your dance performance.

  4. B κ·Έ λŒ€μ‹  λ‚œ λ‚΄ 용돈 μ‹­νŒ”λ§Œ 원을 κ±Έμ—ˆμž–μ•„. μž₯사가 λ§ν–ˆμœΌλ©΄ 본전도 λͺ» μ°Ύκ³  κ·Έ 돈 λ‹€ λ‚ λ¦¬λŠ” κ±°μ˜€μ–΄.

    Geu daesin nan nae yongdon sippalman woneul georeotjana. Jangsaga manghaesseumyeon bonjeondo mot chatgo geu don da nallineun geoyeosseo.

    But I put 180,000 won of my own pocket money on the line. If the stall had flopped, I wouldn't have got a single won of it back.

  5. A λ§ν–ˆμœΌλ©΄ λ‚˜λ„ 일곱 μ‹œκ°„ λ‚ λ¦¬λŠ” κ±°μ˜€μ§€. λ‚΄ μ‹œκ°„μ€ κ³΅μ§œμ•Ό?

    Manghaesseumyeon nado ilgop sigan nallineun geoyeotji. Nae siganeun gongjjaya?

    If it had flopped, I'd have lost seven hours. Is my time free?

  6. B μ’‹μ•„, 그럼 경제 μ‹œκ°„ λ…Όμˆ  문제처럼 λ”°μ Έ 보자. 'λˆμ„ λ‚Έ μ‚¬λžŒμ΄ 더 많이 κ°€μ Έκ°€λŠ” 것은 κ³Όμ—° κ³΅μ •ν•œκ°€?'

    Joa, geureom gyeongje sigan nonsul munjecheoreom ttajyeo boja. 'Doneul naen sarami deo mani gajyeoganeun geoseun gwayeon gongjeonghanga?'

    Fine, let's argue it like an essay question in economics class. 'Is it truly fair for the person who put up the money to take more?'

  7. A κ°‘μžκΈ° 웬 λ…Όμˆ μ΄μ•Ό. μ’‹μ•„, λ°›μ•„ μ£Όμ§€. κ·Έλ ‡λ‹€λ©΄ 뢈 μ•žμ—μ„œ 흘린 λ•€μ˜ κ°€μΉ˜λŠ” 어디에 μžˆλŠ”κ°€?

    Gapjagi wen nonsuriya. Joa, bada juji. Geureotamyeon bul apeseo heullin ttamui gachineun eodie inneunga?

    Where did the essay come from? Fine, I'll play. In that case, where lies the value of the sweat shed before the stove?

  8. B νˆ¬μžν•œ μ‚¬λžŒμ€ μœ„ν—˜μ„ μ§€μž–μ•„. μ„ μƒλ‹˜μ΄ κ·Έλž¬μž–μ•„, μœ„ν—˜μ„ μ§„ 만큼 μ΄μœ€μ„ κ°€μ Έκ°€λŠ” 거라고.

    Tujahan sarameun wiheomeul jijana. Seonsaengnimi geuraetjana, wiheomeul jin mankeum iyuneul gajyeoganeun georago.

    Investors take the risk. The teacher said so: you take profit in proportion to the risk you bear.

  9. A μ„ μƒλ‹˜μ΄ 이것도 λ§μ”€ν•˜μ…¨μ–΄. μΌν•˜λŠ” μ‚¬λžŒμ΄ μ—†μœΌλ©΄ λˆμ€ κ·Έλƒ₯ 쒅이라고.

    Seonsaengnimi igeotdo malsseumhasyeosseo. Ilhaneun sarami eopseumyeon doneun geunyang jongirago.

    The teacher also said this: without people to do the work, money is just paper.

  10. B 그럼 반반 ν• κΉŒ? 근데 그러면 λ‚˜λŠ” μ‹­νŒ”λ§Œ 원 κ±Έκ³  μ΄μ‹­λ§Œ 원 λ°›κ³ , λ„ˆλŠ” ν•œ 푼도 μ•ˆ κ±Έκ³  μ΄μ‹­λ§Œ 원 λ°›λŠ” κ±°μž–μ•„.

    Geureom banban halkka? Geunde geureomyeon naneun sippalman won geolgo isimman won batgo, neoneun han pundo an geolgo isimman won banneun geojana.

    Half and half, then? But that means I risk 180,000 and get 200,000, and you risk nothing and get 200,000.

  11. A 잠깐, 계산이 ν‹€λ Έμ–΄. λ„€ μ‹­νŒ”λ§Œ 원은 이미 λ§€μΆœμ—μ„œ λŒλ €λ°›λŠ” κ±°μ•Ό. μ‚¬μ‹­λ§Œ 원은 κ·Έκ±° λΉΌκ³  남은 순수읡이고.

    Jamkkan, gyesani teullyeosseo. Ne sippalman woneun imi maechureseo dollyeobanneun geoya. Sasimman woneun geugeo ppaego nameun sunsuigigo.

    Wait, your maths is wrong. Your 180,000 already comes back to you out of the sales. The 400,000 is the net profit after that.

  12. B μ•„, κ·Έλ ‡λ„€. 그럼 반반 해도 λ‚˜λŠ” μ‚Όμ‹­νŒ”λ§Œ 원을 손에 μ₯λŠ” κ±°κ΅¬λ‚˜. 잠깐, 그럼 λ‚΄κ°€ λ„ˆλ¬΄ μš•μ‹¬λΆ€λ¦° 건가?

    A, geureonne. Geureom banban haedo naneun samsippalman woneul sone jwineun geoguna. Jamkkan, geureom naega neomu yoksimburin geonga?

    Oh, right. So even half and half, I walk away with 380,000. Wait, was I being too greedy?

  13. A 이제 μ•Œμ•˜λƒ? 근데 μ†”μ§νžˆ λ„€κ°€ 돈 μ•ˆ λŒ”μœΌλ©΄ μ‹œμž‘λ„ λͺ» ν–ˆμ–΄. λ„€ κ³΅λ‘œλŠ” 인정.

    Ije arannya? Geunde soljiki nega don an daesseumyeon sijakdo mot haesseo. Ne gongnoneun injeong.

    Figured that out now, did you? But honestly, if you hadn't put up the money, we'd never have started. I'll give you credit for that.

  14. B 그럼 μ΄λ ‡κ²Œ νƒ€ν˜‘ν•˜μž. μˆ˜μ΅μ€ 반반. λŒ€μ‹  λ„€κ°€ μΌν•œ μ‹œκ°„μ΄ 훨씬 λ§ŽμœΌλ‹ˆκΉŒ λ‚΄ λͺ«μ—μ„œ μ‚Όλ§Œ 원 더 μ€„κ²Œ.

    Geureom ireoke tahyeopaja. Suigeun banban. Daesin nega ilhan sigani hwolssin maneunikka nae mokseseo samman won deo julge.

    Then let's compromise. Profit split fifty-fifty. But since you worked way more hours, I'll give you another 30,000 out of my share.

  15. A 였, κ°‘μžκΈ° 톡이 컀지셨넀. 그럼 μ΄μ‹­μ‚Όλ§Œ λŒ€ μ‹­μΉ λ§Œμ΄λ‹€.

    O, gapjagi tongi keojisyeonne. Geureom isipsamman dae sipchilmanida.

    Oh, suddenly so generous. So that's 230,000 to 170,000.

  16. B λŒ€μ‹  쑰건. 이거 κ³„μ•½μ„œλ‘œ μ“°μž. λ‚΄λ…„ μΆ•μ œ λ•Œ 또 μ΄λ ‡κ²Œ μ‹Έμš°κΈ° μ‹«μ–΄.

    Daesin jogeon. Igeo gyeyakseoro sseuja. Naenyeon chukje ttae tto ireoke ssaugi sireo.

    One condition, though. Let's put this in a contract. I don't want to fight like this again at next year's festival.

  17. A κ³„μ•½μ„œκΉŒμ§€? μ’‹μ•„. μ²˜μŒλΆ€ν„° μ΄λ ‡κ²Œ μ •ν–ˆμœΌλ©΄ μ’‹μ•˜μœΌλ ¨λ§Œ. 괜히 일주일 λ‚΄λ‚΄ μ„œλ‘œ 눈치만 λ΄€λ„€.

    Gyeyakseokkaji? Joa. Cheoeumbuteo ireoke jeonghaesseumyeon joasseuryeonman. Gwaenhi iljuil naenae seoro nunchiman bwanne.

    A contract, even? Okay. If only we'd settled it like this from the start. We spent the whole week tiptoeing around each other for nothing.

  18. B κ·ΈλŸ¬λ‹ˆκΉŒ. λ°›μ•„ 적어. ν•˜λ‚˜, νˆ¬μžν•œ μ‚¬λžŒμ€ νˆ¬μžκΈˆμ„ λ¨Όμ € λŒλ €λ°›λŠ”λ‹€. λ‘˜, μˆœμˆ˜μ΅μ€ λ˜‘κ°™μ΄ λ‚˜λˆˆλ‹€.

    Geureonikka. Bada jeogeo. Hana, tujahan sarameun tujageumeul meonjeo dollyeobanneunda. Dul, sunsuigeun ttokgachi nanunda.

    Exactly. Write this down. One: whoever invests gets their money back first. Two: net profit is split equally.

  19. A μ…‹, 일을 더 많이 ν•œ μ‚¬λžŒμ€ μƒλŒ€ λͺ«μ—μ„œ μ‚Όλ§Œ 원을 더 λ°›λŠ”λ‹€. 이거 λ„ˆλ¬΄ λ‚˜ν•œν…Œ 맞좘 μ‘°ν•­ μ•„λ‹ˆμ•Ό?

    Set, ireul deo mani han sarameun sangdae mokseseo samman woneul deo banneunda. Igeo neomu nahante matchun johang aniya?

    Three: whoever works more gets an extra 30,000 out of the other person's share. Isn't that clause a bit tailored to me?

  20. B λ‚΄λ…„μ—” λ‚΄κ°€ 일곱 μ‹œκ°„ 뢈 μ•žμ— μ„œ μžˆμ„ κ±°λ‹ˆκΉŒ 상관없어. κ·Έλ•Œ 이 μ‘°ν•­ 덕 λ³΄λŠ” μ‚¬λžŒμ€ λ‚˜μ•Ό.

    Naenyeonen naega ilgop sigan bul ape seo isseul geonikka sanggwaneopseo. Geuttae i johang deok boneun sarameun naya.

    Next year I'll be the one at the stove for seven hours, so it doesn't matter. Then I'll be the one who benefits from it.

  21. A λ„ˆ 경제 곡뢀 μ§„μ§œ μ—΄μ‹¬νžˆ ν–ˆκ΅¬λ‚˜. 그럼 λ„·, 떑볢이 양념 비법은 κΉ€νƒœλ―Όμ˜ 것이닀.

    Neo gyeongje gongbu jinjja yeolsimhi haetguna. Geureom net, tteokbokki yangnyeom bibeobeun gimtaeminui geosida.

    You really have studied your economics. Then four: the tteokbokki sauce recipe belongs to Kim Taemin.

  22. B 그건 μ•ˆ λ˜μ§€. κ·Έ 양념, 우리 μ—„λ§ˆκ°€ μ•Œλ € μ€€ κ±°μž–μ•„. κ·Έ 쑰항은 μ‚­μ œ.

    Geugeon an doeji. Geu yangnyeom, uri eommaga allyeo jun geojana. Geu johangeun sakje.

    No way. That sauce is my mom's recipe. That clause is deleted.

  23. A 쳇, ν˜‘μƒ κ²°λ ¬ 직전이넀. μ•Œμ•˜μ–΄, μ‚­μ œ. 이제 μ„œλͺ…ν•˜κ³  μΉ˜ν‚¨μ΄λ‚˜ 먹으러 κ°€μž. μΉ˜ν‚¨κ°’μ€ 곡동 κ²½λΉ„λ‘œ.

    Chet, hyeopsang gyeollyeol jikjeonine. Arasseo, sakje. Ije seomyeonghago chikinina meogeureo gaja. Chikingapseun gongdong gyeongbiro.

    Tch, the talks nearly collapsed. Fine, deleted. Now let's sign and go get some chicken. Paid for out of the joint fund.
