Day 73: Texting First, Every Single Time

At a cafΓ©, Donghyun (A) complains to his friend Sohee (B) about Yuna, the woman he has been seeing.

How to study this lesson 4 steps
  1. Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

  1. A μ†Œν¬μ•Ό, λ‚˜ μ§„μ§œ λͺ¨λ₯΄κ² μ–΄. μ˜€λŠ˜λ„ λ‚΄κ°€ μœ λ‚˜ν•œν…Œ λ¨Όμ € 문자 λ³΄λƒˆμ–΄.

    Sohuiya, na jinjja moreugesseo. Oneuldo naega Yunahante meonjeo munja bonaesseo.

    Sohee, I really don't get it. I texted Yuna first again today.

  2. B 또? μ΄λ²ˆμ—λ„ λ‹΅μž₯ 늦게 μ™”μ–΄?

    Tto? Ibeonedo dapjang neutge wasseo?

    Again? Did she take ages to reply this time too?

  3. A μ„Έ μ‹œκ°„ λ§Œμ— '응' ν•œ κΈ€μž. 맨날 λ‚΄κ°€ λ¨Όμ € 연락해.

    Se sigan mane 'eung' han geulja. Maennal naega meonjeo yeollakae.

    Three hours later, one word: 'yeah.' I'm always the one who texts first.

  4. B 음... λ„€κ°€ μœ λ‚˜λ₯Ό μ’‹μ•„ν•˜λŠ” 만큼 μœ λ‚˜λ„ λ„ˆλ₯Ό μ’‹μ•„ν•˜λŠ” 것 κ°™μ•„?

    Eum... nega Yunareul joahaneun mankeum Yunado neoreul joahaneun geot gata?

    Hmm... do you think Yuna likes you as much as you like her?

  5. A λͺ¨λ₯΄κ² μ–΄. λ§Œλ‚˜λ©΄ 잘 μ›ƒλŠ”λ°, 연락은 항상 λ‚˜λ§Œ ν•΄.

    Moreugesseo. Mannamyeon jal unneunde, yeollageun hangsang naman hae.

    I don't know. She laughs a lot when we meet, but I'm always the one who gets in touch.

  6. B μ—°μ• λŠ” λ‘˜μ΄ ν•˜λŠ” κ±°μ•Ό. λ‚΄κ°€ λ…Έλ ₯ν•˜λŠ” 만큼 μƒλŒ€λ„ λ…Έλ ₯ν•΄μ•Ό 돼.

    Yeonaeneun duri haneun geoya. Naega noryeokaneun mankeum sangdaedo noryeokaeya dwae.

    It takes two to be in a relationship. The other person has to try as hard as you do.

  7. A μ§€λ‚œμ£Όμ—λŠ” μΏ ν‚€λ₯Ό κ΅¬μ›Œλ‹€κ°€ μœ λ‚˜ νšŒμ‚¬ μ•žκΉŒμ§€ 갖닀쀬어.

    Jinanjueneun kukireul guwodaga Yuna hoesa apkkaji gatdajwosseo.

    Last week I even baked cookies and took them all the way to her office.

  8. B κ±°κΈ°κΉŒμ§€? κ·Έλž˜μ„œ μœ λ‚˜ λ°˜μ‘μ€?

    Geogikkaji? Geuraeseo Yuna baneungeun?

    All the way there? So how did she react?

  9. A 'κ³ λ§ˆμ›Œ' ν•œλ§ˆλ”” ν•˜κ³  끝. κ·Έλ‹€μŒμ— 또 연락이 μ—†μ—ˆμ–΄.

    'Gomawo' hanmadi hago kkeut. Geudaeume tto yeollagi eopseosseo.

    Just 'thanks,' and that was it. Then I didn't hear from her again.

  10. B 그럼 이번 μ£Όμ—λŠ” λ¨Όμ € μ—°λ½ν•˜μ§€ 마. μœ λ‚˜κ°€ λ¨Όμ € ν•˜λ©΄ κ·Έλ•Œ λ‹΅μž₯ν•΄.

    Geureom ibeon jueneun meonjeo yeollakaji ma. Yunaga meonjeo hamyeon geuttae dapjanghae.

    Then don't text her first this week. If she gets in touch first, reply then.

  11. A μ•Œμ•˜μ–΄. 근데 λκΉŒμ§€ 연락이 μ•ˆ 였면 μ–΄λ–‘ν•˜μ§€?

    Arasseo. Geunde kkeutkkaji yeollagi an omyeon eotteokaji?

    Okay. But what if she never texts at all?

  12. B 그럼 그게 μœ λ‚˜ λŒ€λ‹΅μΈ κ±°μ•Ό. λ„Œ 더 쒋은 μ‚¬λžŒ λ§Œλ‚  수 μžˆμ–΄.

    Geureom geuge Yuna daedabin geoya. Neon deo joeun saram mannal su isseo.

    Then that's her answer. You can find someone better.
