Day 134: Dibs on My Brother's Room

At home, Jiho (A) talks to his older brother Minhyuk (B), who is moving out next week to live alone near his new job.

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.

Dialogue

Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.

A 형, 진짜 다음 주에 나가?

Hyeong, jinjja daeum jue naga?

Minhyuk, are you really moving out next week?
B 응, 회사 근처에 원룸 구했어. 이제 혼자 살아 보려고.

Eung, hoesa geuncheoe wollum guhaesseo. Ije honja sara boryeogo.

Yeah, I found a studio near work. I'm going to try living on my own.
A 그럼... 형님, 형님 방은 이제 누가 쓰시게 됩니까?

Geureom... hyeongnim, hyeongnim bangeun ije nuga sseusige doemnikka?

So... my most honourable elder brother, who might be using your room from now on?
B 갑자기 웬 존댓말이야? 너 내 방 노리는구나?

Gapjagi wen jondaenmariya? Neo nae bang norineunguna?

Why so polite all of a sudden? You're after my room, aren't you?
A 제가요? 아닙니다. 방이 비면 아까우니까 여쭤보는 겁니다.

Jegayo? Animnida. Bangi bimyeon akkaunikka yeojjwoboneun geomnida.

Me, sir? Not at all. I'm only asking because it'd be a shame to leave it empty.
B 됐어, 말 편하게 해. 방은 너 가져.

Dwaesseo, mal pyeonhage hae. Bangeun neo gajyeo.

Cut it out and talk normally. You can have the room.
A 진짜? 형 최고! 짐 옮기는 것도 내가 다 도와줄게.

Jinjja? Hyeong choego! Jim omgineun geotdo naega da dowajulge.

Really? You're the best! I'll help you move all your stuff, too.
B 짐은 됐고, 엄마나 잘 챙겨.

Jimeun dwaetgo, eommana jal chaenggyeo.

Never mind the stuff. Just look after Mom.
A 엄마? 갑자기 엄마는 왜?

Eomma? Gapjagi eommaneun wae?

Mom? Why Mom, all of a sudden?
B 나 나간다고 엄마가 어젯밤에 몰래 우셨어.

Na nagandago eommaga eojetbame mollae usyeosseo.

Mom cried last night because I'm moving out. She tried to hide it.
A 진짜? ...형, 그럼 그냥 나가지 마. 방 안 가져도 돼.

Jinjja? ...Hyeong, geureom geunyang nagaji ma. Bang an gajyeodo dwae.

Really? ...Then just don't go. I don't need the room.
