A 네, 누구세요?

Ne, nuguseyo?

Yes? Who is it?
B 안녕하세요, 앞집 사는 사람인데요. 잠깐 얘기 좀 할 수 있을까요?

Annyeonghaseyo, apjip saneun saramindeyo. Jamkkan yaegi jom hal su isseulkkayo?

Hello, I live across the hall. Could I have a quick word?
A 아, 네. 무슨 일 있으세요?

A, ne. Museun il isseuseyo?

Oh, sure. Is something wrong?
B 다름이 아니라, 낮에 강아지가 너무 많이 짖어서요.

Dareumi anira, naje gangajiga neomu mani jijeoseoyo.

It's just that your dog barks a lot during the day.
A 네? 저희 콩이가요? 원래 조용한 앤데요.

Ne? Jeohui kongigayo? Wollae joyonghan aendeyo.

What? Our Kongi? He's usually such a quiet boy.
B 제가 어제 쉬는 날이라 집에 있었더니, 아침부터 저녁까지 거의 계속 짖었어요.

Jega eoje swineun narira jibe isseotdeoni, achimbuteo jeonyeokkkaji geoui gyesok jijeosseoyo.

Yesterday was my day off, so I was home, and he barked pretty much nonstop from morning till evening.
A 정말요? 전혀 몰랐어요. 너무 죄송해요.

Jeongmaryo? Jeonhyeo mollasseoyo. Neomu joesonghaeyo.

Really? I had no idea. I'm so sorry.
B 저도 강아지를 좋아해서 이해는 해요. 주인이랑 같이 있고 싶어 하는 거겠죠.

Jeodo gangajireul joahaeseo ihaeneun haeyo. Juinirang gachi itgo sipeo haneun geogetjyo.

I love dogs too, so I understand. He probably just wants to be with his owner.
A 요즘 바빠서 산책을 잘 못 시켰어요. 지난 주말에는 오래 산책시켰더니 그날은 하루 종일 조용했거든요.

Yojeum bappaseo sanchaegeul jal mot sikyeosseoyo. Jinan jumareneun orae sanchaeksikyeotdeoni geunareun haru jongil joyonghaetgeodeunyo.

I've been busy lately and haven't walked him much. Last weekend I took him on a long walk, and he was quiet all day.
B 그럼 출근 전에 산책을 좀 오래 시키면 어떨까요?

Geureom chulgeun jeone sanchaegeul jom orae sikimyeon eotteolkkayo?

Then how about giving him a longer walk before you go to work?
A 네, 그렇게 해 볼게요. 낮에는 강아지 유치원도 알아볼게요. 알려 주셔서 감사해요.

Ne, geureoke hae bolgeyo. Najeneun gangaji yuchiwondo arabolgeyo. Allyeo jusyeoseo gamsahaeyo.

Yes, I'll try that. I'll look into doggy daycare for the daytime too. Thank you for telling me.
B 아니에요. 콩이한테도 안부 전해 주세요.

Anieyo. Kongihantedo anbu jeonhae juseyo.

Not at all. Say hi to Kongi for me.
