Day 12: Marketing Moved the Deadline Again

In a morning team meeting, team manager Mr. Kang (A) hears from Seoyeon (B) and Junho (C), two members of his team, about the launch materials.

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 자, 회의 μ‹œμž‘ν•˜μž. μΆœμ‹œ μžλ£ŒλŠ” μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ 됐어? μ˜€λŠ˜κΉŒμ§€ λ°›κΈ°λ‘œ ν–ˆμž–μ•„.

    Ja, hoeui sijakaja. Chulsi jaryoneun eotteoke dwaesseo? Oneulkkaji batgiro haetjana.

    Right, let's get started. What's happening with the launch materials? We were supposed to get them by today.

  2. B νŒ€μž₯λ‹˜, 그게... λ§ˆμΌ€νŒ…νŒ€μ—μ„œ 일정이 또 λŠ¦μ–΄μ§„λ‹€κ³  연락이 μ™”μ–΄μš”.

    Timjangnim, geuge... maketingtimeseo iljeongi tto neujeojindago yeollagi wasseoyo.

    Well... marketing got in touch to say their schedule's slipping again.

  3. A 또? 이번이 λͺ‡ λ²ˆμ§Έμ•Ό?

    Tto? Ibeoni myeot beonjjaeya?

    Again? How many times is that now?

  4. C μ„Έ λ²ˆμ§Έμ˜ˆμš”. μ²˜μŒμ—” 이번 주라고 ν–ˆλ‹€κ°€ λ‹€μŒ 주둜 미루고, μ΄μ œλŠ” λ‚ μ§œλ„ μ•ˆ μ•Œλ € μ€˜μš”.

    Se beonjjaeyeyo. Cheoeumen ibeon jurago haetdaga daeum juro mirugo, ijeneun naljjado an allyeo jwoyo.

    Three. First they said this week, then they pushed it to next week, and now they won't even give us a date.

  5. A κ·Έλž˜μ„œ λ§ˆμΌ€νŒ…νŒ€μ€ 자료λ₯Ό μ–Έμ œ λ³΄λ‚Έλ‹€λ‹ˆ? λˆ„κ°€ ν†΅ν™”ν–ˆμ–΄?

    Geuraeseo maketingtimeun jaryoreul eonje bonaendani? Nuga tonghwahaesseo?

    So when are they saying they'll send the materials? Who spoke to them?

  6. B λ§ˆμΌ€νŒ…νŒ€ κΉ€ λŒ€λ¦¬λ‹˜μ΄ μ €ν•œν…Œ μ „ν™”ν–ˆμ–΄μš”. 사진도 λ‹€μ‹œ 찍어야 λ˜κ±°λ‹ˆμ™€ 문ꡬ도 μƒˆλ‘œ μ“°λŠ” 쀑이라고 ν–ˆμ–΄μš”.

    Maketingtim gim daerinimi jeohante jeonhwahaesseoyo. Sajindo dasi jjigeoya doegeoniwa mungudo saero sseuneun jungirago haesseoyo.

    Mr. Kim from marketing called me. He said they have to reshoot the photos, and on top of that they're rewriting the copy.

  7. C μ„œμ—° 씨, 그건 핑계 κ°™μ•„μš”. μ§€λ‚œλ²ˆμ—λ„ λ˜‘κ°™μ€ μ–˜κΈ°λ₯Ό ν–ˆμž–μ•„μš”.

    Seoyeon ssi, geugeon pinggye gatayo. Jinanbeonedo ttokgateun yaegireul haetjanayo.

    Seoyeon, that sounds like an excuse to me. They said exactly the same thing last time.

  8. B κ·Έλž˜λ„ λ¬΄μž‘μ • λ”°μ§ˆ μˆ˜λŠ” μ—†μž–μ•„μš”. μ €μͺ½λ„ 사정이 μžˆμ„ κ±°μ˜ˆμš”.

    Geuraedo mujakjeong ttajil suneun eopjanayo. Jeojjokdo sajeongi isseul geoyeyo.

    Still, we can't just go after them. They must have their reasons too.

  9. C 사정은 μš°λ¦¬λ„ μžˆμ–΄μš”. μΈμ‡„μ†ŒλŠ” κΈ°λ‹€λ € 주지 μ•Šκ±°λ‹ˆμ™€ μΆœμ‹œ λ‚ μ§œλ„ 이미 μ •ν•΄μ‘Œμž–μ•„μš”.

    Sajeongeun urido isseoyo. Inswaesoneun gidaryeo juji ankeoniwa chulsi naljjado imi jeonghaejyeotjanayo.

    We have our reasons too. The printer won't wait for us, and the launch date is already set.

  10. A λ‘˜ λ‹€ 그만. κ·Έμͺ½ λ‹΄λ‹ΉμžλŠ” 우리 인쇄 일정은 μ•Œκ³  μžˆλ‹€λ‹ˆ?

    Dul da geuman. Geujjok damdangjaneun uri inswae iljeongeun algo itdani?

    Enough, both of you. Did their person say they know our printing schedule?

  11. B μ œκ°€ 인쇄 λ•Œλ¬Έμ— λ‹€μŒ μ£Ό μ›”μš”μΌμ΄ λ§ˆμ§€λ§‰μ΄λΌκ³  말은 ν–ˆλŠ”λ°, ν™•μ‹€ν•œ λŒ€λ‹΅μ€ λͺ» λ“€μ—ˆμ–΄μš”.

    Jega inswae ttaemune daeum ju woryoiri majimagirago mareun haenneunde, hwaksilhan daedabeun mot deureosseoyo.

    I told him next Monday is the absolute deadline because of printing, but I didn't get a clear answer.

  12. A μ•Œμ•˜μ–΄. 이건 λ„ˆν¬λΌλ¦¬ μ‹ΈμšΈ λ¬Έμ œκ°€ μ•„λ‹ˆμ•Ό. λ‚΄κ°€ λ§ˆμΌ€νŒ… νŒ€μž₯ν•œν…Œ 직접 μ—°λ½ν• κ²Œ.

    Arasseo. Igeon neohuikkiri ssaul munjega aniya. Naega maketing timjanghante jikjeop yeollakalge.

    Got it. This isn't something for you two to fight over. I'll call the head of marketing myself.

  13. C 그럼 μ €ν¬λŠ” 뭘 μ€€λΉ„ν•˜λ©΄ λ κΉŒμš”?

    Geureom jeohuineun mwol junbihamyeon doelkkayo?

    Then what should we get ready?

  14. A μ§€κΈˆκΉŒμ§€ 받은 μžλ£Œλž‘ λŠ¦μ–΄μ§„ λ‚ μ§œλ₯Ό μ •λ¦¬ν•΄μ„œ 점심 μ „κΉŒμ§€ 보내 쀘.

    Jigeumkkaji badeun jaryorang neujeojin naljjareul jeongnihaeseo jeomsim jeonkkaji bonae jwo.

    Put together what we've received so far and all the dates they've missed, and send it to me before lunch.
