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
- Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
-

Manghaesseumyeon nado ilgop sigan nallineun geoyeotji. Nae siganeun gongjjaya?
If it had flopped, I'd have lost seven hours. Is my time free?

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?'
-

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?
-

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.
-

Seonsaengnimi igeotdo malsseumhasyeosseo. Ilhaneun sarami eopseumyeon doneun geunyang jongirago.
The teacher also said this: without people to do the work, money is just paper.

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.
-

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.
-

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

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.
-

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.
-
A μ€, κ°μκΈ° ν΅μ΄ 컀μ§μ ¨λ€. κ·ΈλΌ μ΄μμΌλ§ λ μμΉ λ§μ΄λ€.
O, gapjagi tongi keojisyeonne. Geureom isipsamman dae sipchilmanida.
Oh, suddenly so generous. So that's 230,000 to 170,000.
-

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.
-

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.
-
B κ·Έλ¬λκΉ. λ°μ μ μ΄. νλ, ν¬μν μ¬λμ ν¬μκΈμ λ¨Όμ λλ €λ°λλ€. λ, μμμ΅μ λκ°μ΄ λλλ€.
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.
-

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?
-

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.
-
A λ κ²½μ κ³΅λΆ μ§μ§ μ΄μ¬ν νꡬλ. κ·ΈλΌ λ·, λ‘λ³Άμ΄ μλ λΉλ²μ κΉνλ―Όμ κ²μ΄λ€.
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.
-
B 그건 μ λμ§. κ·Έ μλ , μ°λ¦¬ μλ§κ° μλ € μ€ κ±°μμ. κ·Έ μ‘°νμ μμ .
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.

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