Appa, daeum ju hwayoire geongang geomjin yeyakaesseoyo.

Dad, I've booked a health check-up for next Tuesday.
A 뭐? 누구 거? 설마 내 거야?

Mwo? Nugu geo? Seolma nae geoya?

What? For who? Don't tell me it's for me.
B 네. 벌써 삼 년이나 안 받으셨잖아요.

Ne. Beolsseo sam nyeonina an badeusyeotjanayo.

Yes. You haven't had one for three years now.
A 아휴, 요즘 회사가 너무 바빠. 그리고 난 아픈 데 없어.

Ahyu, yojeum hoesaga neomu bappa. Geurigo nan apeun de eopseo.

Oh, come on, work's really busy these days. And nothing hurts.
B 아픈 데가 없어도 받으셔야 돼요. 올해는 꼭 받으시면 좋겠어요.

Apeun dega eopseodo badeusyeoya dwaeyo. Olhaeneun kkok badeusimyeon jokesseoyo.

You need one even if nothing hurts. I really want you to get it done this year.
A 그래도 위 내시경은 너무 무서워. 전에 하고 나서 하루 종일 힘들었어.

Geuraedo wi naesigyeongeun neomu museowo. Jeone hago naseo haru jongil himdeureosseo.

But the stomach endoscopy scares me. Last time I felt awful all day afterwards.
B 이번엔 수면 내시경으로 예약했어요. 주무시는 동안 다 끝나요.

Ibeonen sumyeon naesigyeongeuro yeyakaesseoyo. Jumusineun dongan da kkeunnayo.

This time I booked it with sedation. It'll all be over while you're asleep.
A 그럼 전날 저녁은? 밥 먹으면 안 돼?

Geureom jeonnal jeonyeogeun? Bap meogeumyeon an dwae?

What about dinner the night before? Can't I eat?
B 저녁은 괜찮아요. 대신 밤 아홉 시부터는 아무것도 드시면 안 돼요. 물도요.

Jeonyeogeun gwaenchanayo. Daesin bam ahop sibuteoneun amugeotdo deusimyeon an dwaeyo. Muldoyo.

Dinner's fine. But from nine at night you can't have anything. Not even water.
A 굶는 건 싫은데... 알았어, 알았어. 네가 예약까지 했으니까 가 볼게.

Gumneun geon sireunde... arasseo, arasseo. Nega yeyakkkaji haesseunikka ga bolge.

I hate going hungry... Fine, fine. Since you've gone and booked it, I'll go.
B 고마워요. 저는 아빠가 오래오래 건강하시면 좋겠어요.

Gomawoyo. Jeoneun appaga oraeorae geonganghasimyeon jokesseoyo.

Thanks, Dad. I just want you to stay healthy for a long, long time.
A 알았다. 그럼 검사 끝나면 맛있는 거 사 줘.
