Day 182 of 185

Day 182: Our Teens Argue with Everything

In their apartment building's lift, two neighbours in their forties, Minsu's mother (A) and Seoyeon's mother (B), meet on the way down.

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.

    Mateu gayo. Achimbuteo Seoyeonirang hanbatang haetdeoni giuni eomneyo.

    To the supermarket. I had a big row with Seoyeon this morning, so I've got no energy.

  3. A 아이고, 무슨 μΌλ‘œμš”? 또 νœ΄λŒ€ν° λ•Œλ¬Έμ—μš”?

    Ne. Bap meogeul ttaeneun hyudaepon jom naeryeonoeurago haetdeoni, "eommado deurama bomyeonseo meokjana" hago ttajigo deuneun geoyeyo.

    Yes. I told her to put her phone down while she eats, and she argued back, "You watch dramas while you eat too, Mom."

  5. A μ–΄λ¨Έ, 우리 λ―Όμˆ˜λ„ λ˜‘κ°™μ•„μš”. μš”μ¦˜μ€ ν•œλ§ˆλ”” ν•˜λ©΄ μ—΄ λ§ˆλ””λ‘œ 따지고 λ“€μ–΄μš”.

    Eomeo, uri Minsudo ttokgatayo. Yojeumeun hanmadi hamyeon yeol madiro ttajigo deureoyo.

    Oh, my Minsu's exactly the same. These days if I say one word, he argues back with ten.

  6. B ν‹€λ¦° 말은 μ•„λ‹ˆλΌμ„œ 더 ν™”κ°€ λ‚˜μš”.

    Teullin mareun aniraseo deo hwaga nayo.

    Majayo. Eojeneun gongbu jom harago haetdeoni "eommaneun hakgyo danil ttae gongbu jalhaesseo?" Geureoneun geo itjyo.

    Exactly. Yesterday I told him to study, and he goes, "Were you good at school, Mom?"

  8. B ν•˜ν•˜, κ·Έλž˜μ„œ 뭐라고 ν•˜μ…¨μ–΄μš”?

    Haha, geuraeseo mworago hasyeosseoyo?

    Hal mari eopseoseo geunyang bange deureogatjyo. Nuga eommainji moreugesseoyo.

    I had nothing to say, so I just went into my room. I don't know who the parent is anymore.

  10. B 근데 생각해 보면 저도 μ‚¬μΆ˜κΈ° λ•Œ 우리 μ—„λ§ˆν•œν…Œ λ˜‘κ°™μ΄ κ·Έλž¬μ–΄μš”.

    Geunde saenggakae bomyeon jeodo sachungi ttae uri eommahante ttokgachi geuraesseoyo.

    But when I think about it, I did the same thing to my mom when I was a teenager.

  11. A μ„œμ—° μ—„λ§ˆκ°€μš”? 상상이 μ•ˆ λ˜λŠ”λ°μš”.

    Seoyeon eommagayo? Sangsangi an doeneundeyo.

    You? I can't imagine it.

  12. B μ œκ°€ 뭐라고 λŒ€λ“€λ©΄ 우리 μ—„λ§ˆλŠ” 늘 λ”± ν•œλ§ˆλ””λ‘œ λλ‚΄μ…¨μ–΄μš”. "방에 λ“€μ–΄κ°€μ„œ 생각해 봐라."

    Jega mworago daedeulmyeon uri eommaneun neul ttak hanmadiro kkeunnaesyeosseoyo. "Bange deureogaseo saenggakae bwara."

    Whenever I talked back, my mom always ended it with one line: "Go to your room and think about it."

  13. A 우리 μ—„λ§ˆλ„ κ·Έλž¬μ–΄μš”! "μ‹œλ„λŸ¬μ›Œ, κ°€μ„œ μˆ™μ œλ‚˜ 해라." κ·Έ 말이 κ·Έλ ‡κ²Œ λ“£κΈ° μ‹«μ—ˆλŠ”λ°μš”.

    Uri eommado geuraesseoyo! "Sikkeureowo, gaseo sukjena haera." Geu mari geureoke deutgi sireonneundeyo.

    My mom did that too! "Quiet, go do your homework." I hated hearing that so much.

  14. B 그런데 μ§€κΈˆ λ³΄λ‹ˆκΉŒ μš°λ¦¬λ„ μ• λ“€ν•œν…Œ λ˜‘κ°™μ΄ ν•˜κ³  μžˆμž–μ•„μš”.

    Geureonde jigeum bonikka urido aedeulhante ttokgachi hago itjanayo.

    But now that I look at it, we're doing exactly the same thing to our kids.

  15. A κ·ΈλŸ¬κ²Œμš”. 애듀이 따지고 λ“œλŠ” 것도 λ‹€ ν¬λŠ” 과정인가 λ΄μš”.

    Geureogeyo. Aedeuri ttajigo deuneun geotdo da keuneun gwajeonginga bwayo.

    You're right. I guess kids arguing back is all part of growing up.

  16. B 였늘 저녁엔 저도 μ„œμ—°μ΄ 말을 λκΉŒμ§€ ν•œλ²ˆ λ“€μ–΄ λ΄μ•Όκ² μ–΄μš”.

    Oneul jeonyeogen jeodo Seoyeoni mareul kkeutkkaji hanbeon deureo bwayagesseoyo.

    Tonight I'll try listening to Seoyeon until she's finished.

  17. A 쒋은 μƒκ°μ΄μ—μš”. μ•„, 1μΈ΅μ΄λ„€μš”. μž₯ 잘 보고 μ˜€μ„Έμš”.
