Appa, jeo ibeon toyoire Sujinihante peureopojeuharyeogoyo.

Dad, I'm going to propose to Sujin this Saturday.
A 뭐? 정말이야? 잘됐다! 어디서 할 건데?

Mwo? Jeongmariya? Jaldwaetda! Eodiseo hal geonde?

What? Really? That's wonderful! Where are you going to do it?
B 한강 공원이요. 비만 아니면 해 질 때 거기서 할 거예요.

Hangang gongwoniyo. Biman animyeon hae jil ttae geogiseo hal geoyeyo.

At the Han River park. As long as it doesn't rain, I'll do it there at sunset.
A 일기예보는 봤어? 주말에 비 소식이 있던데.

Ilgiyeboneun bwasseo? Jumare bi sosigi itdeonde.

Have you checked the forecast? I saw there might be rain this weekend.
B 네, 그래서 걱정이에요. 비가 오면 근처 식당으로 바꾸려고요.

Ne, geuraeseo geokjeongieyo. Biga omyeon geuncheo sikdangeuro bakkuryeogoyo.

Yes, that's what's worrying me. If it rains, I'll move it to a restaurant nearby.
A 반지는 준비했어?

Banjineun junbihaesseo?

Have you got the ring?
B 네, 지난주에 샀어요. 반지 고르느라고 한 달 동안 밤마다 인터넷만 봤어요.

Ne, jinanjue sasseoyo. Banji goreuneurago han dal dongan bammada inteonenman bwasseoyo.

Yes, I bought it last week. I spent every night for a month online, picking one out.
A 하하, 많이 떨리겠네. 아빠가 하나만 말할게. 멋있게 하려고 하지 말고 솔직하게 말해.

Haha, mani tteolligenne. Appaga hanaman malhalge. Meositge haryeogo haji malgo soljikage malhae.

Ha ha, you must be nervous. Let me tell you just one thing. Don't try to be smooth. Just say what you feel.
B 네, 그럴게요. 근데 아빠는 엄마한테 어떻게 하셨어요?

Ne, geureolgeyo. Geunde appaneun eommahante eotteoke hasyeosseoyo?

Okay, I will. But how did you propose to Mom?
A 포장마차에서 소주 마시다가 했지. 엄마가 한참 웃었어.

Pojangmachaeseo soju masidaga haetji. Eommaga hancham useosseo.

Over soju at a street stall. Your mom laughed for ages.
B 하하, 진짜 아빠답네요. 그래도 엄마가 좋아하셨겠네요.

Haha, jinjja appadamneyo. Geuraedo eommaga joahasyeotgenneyo.

Ha ha, that's so you. Still, Mom must have been happy.
A 그건 그렇고, 수진이는 언제 데려올 거야? 일요일만 아니면 아빠는 다 괜찮아.

Geugeon geureoko, Sujinineun eonje deryeool geoya? Iryoilman animyeon appaneun da gwaenchana.

Anyway, when are you bringing Sujin home? Any day but Sunday works for me.
