A 기사님, 부산역 근처에서 돼지국밥 제일 맛있는 집이 어디예요?

Gisanim, Busannyeok geuncheoeseo Dwaejigukbap jeil masinneun jibi eodiyeyo?

Excuse me, where's the best pork and rice soup near Busan Station?
B 하하, 손님들이 저보고 맛집을 제일 많이 물어봐요.

Haha, sonnimdeuri jeobogo matjibeul jeil mani mureobwayo.

Ha ha, that's what passengers ask me more than anything.
A 기사님들이 제일 잘 아시잖아요. 관광객 말고 부산 사람들이 가는 데로요.

Gisanimdeuri jeil jal asijanayo. Gwangwanggaek malgo Busan saramdeuri ganeun deroyo.

Well, taxi drivers know best. Somewhere the locals go, not the tourists.
B 그럼 역 뒤 시장 골목에 있는 국밥집에 가 보세요. 오십 년 된 집이에요.

Geureom yeok dwi sijang golmoge inneun gukbapjibe ga boseyo. Osip nyeon doen jibieyo.

Then try the soup place in the market alley behind the station. It's been there fifty years.
A 오, 좋네요. 줄은 길어요?

O, jonneyo. Jureun gireoyo?

Oh, sounds good. Is the line long?
B 점심때는 줄을 좀 서야 돼요. 근데 국물이 진하고 고기도 많이 줘요.

Jeomsimttaeneun jureul jom seoya dwaeyo. Geunde gungmuri jinhago gogido mani jwoyo.

At lunchtime you'll have to wait a bit. But the broth is rich, and they give you lots of meat.
A 기사님도 자주 가세요?

Gisanimdo jaju gaseyo?

Do you go there often too?
B 일주일에 두세 번은 가요. 그 집 국밥을 먹으면 우리 어머니 생각이 나거든요.

Iljuire duse beoneun gayo. Geu jip gukbabeul meogeumyeon uri eomeoni saenggagi nageodeunyo.

Two or three times a week. Their soup reminds me of my mother.
A 어머님이요?

Eomeonimiyo?

Your mother?
B 네. 어릴 때 어머니가 "밥은 먹었니?" 하시면서 국밥을 자주 끓여 주셨거든요.

Ne. Eoril ttae eomeoniga "babeun meogeonni?" Hasimyeonseo gukbabeul jaju kkeuryeo jusyeotgeodeunyo.

Yes. When I was little, she'd ask, "Have you eaten?" and make me a bowl of this soup.
A 좋은 추억이네요. 기사님, 그럼 목적지를 그 국밥집으로 바꿔 주세요.

Joeun chueogineyo. Gisanim, geureom mokjeokjireul geu gukbapjibeuro bakkwo juseyo.

What a lovely memory. Then could you change the destination to that soup place?
B 하하, 벌써 그쪽으로 가고 있어요.

Haha, beolsseo geujjogeuro gago isseoyo.

Ha ha, I'm already heading there.
