Day 31: The Chatbot Diagnosed Me

At a neighbourhood clinic, Yuna (A), a young office worker who has had headaches for two weeks, sees Dr. Oh (B).

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.

    Eoseo oseyo. Eodiga bulpyeonhaeseo osyeosseoyo?

  2. A μ„ μƒλ‹˜, 2μ£Όμ§Έ 머리가 계속 μ•„ν”„κ³  λˆˆλ„ μΉ¨μΉ¨ν•˜κ³  ν•΄μ„œ μ™”μ–΄μš”.

    Seonsaengnim, 2jujjae meoriga gyesok apeugo nundo chimchimhago haeseo wasseoyo.

    Doctor, I've had a headache for two weeks now, and my eyes are blurry and all, so I came in.

  3. B 두톡이 2μ£Όλ‚˜ λκ΅°μš”. 주둜 μ–Έμ œ μ•„νŒŒμš”?

    Dutongi 2juna dwaetgunyo. Juro eonje apayo?

    Two weeks of headaches. When does it usually hurt?

  4. A μ˜€ν›„κ°€ 되면 μ‹¬ν•΄μ Έμš”. 그런데 AI μ±—λ΄‡ν•œν…Œ 증상을 λ¬Όμ–΄λ΄€λ”λ‹ˆ λ‡Œμ’…μ–‘μΌ μˆ˜λ„ μžˆλ‹€κ³  ν•΄μ„œ λ„ˆλ¬΄ λ¬΄μ„œμ› μ–΄μš”.

    Ohuga doemyeon simhaejyeoyo. Geureonde AI chaetbotante jeungsangeul mureobwatdeoni noejongyangil sudo itdago haeseo neomu museowosseoyo.

    It gets worse in the afternoon. But when I asked an AI chatbot about my symptoms, it said it could be a brain tumour, and I got so scared.

  5. B μ•„, μš”μ¦˜ 그런 뢄듀이 λ§Žμ•„μš”. 챗봇은 κ°€λŠ₯성이 μžˆλŠ” 병을 λ‹€ 말해 μ£Όλ‹ˆκΉŒμš”.

    A, yojeum geureon bundeuri manayo. Chaetboseun ganeungseongi inneun byeongeul da malhae junikkayo.

    Ah, I see a lot of people like that these days. Chatbots list every illness that's even possible.

  6. A μ—„λ§ˆν•œν…Œ μ–˜κΈ°ν–ˆλ”λ‹ˆ "μ•ˆ κ·Έλž˜λ„ μš”μ¦˜ λ„€ 얼꡴이 μ•ˆ 쒋더라." ν•˜μ‹œλ©΄μ„œ 빨리 병원에 κ°€ 보라고 ν•˜μ…¨μ–΄μš”.

    Eommahante yaegihaetdeoni "an geuraedo yojeum ne eolguri an joteora." Hasimyeonseo ppalli byeongwone ga borago hasyeosseoyo.

    When I told my mom, she said, "I've been thinking you haven't looked well lately," and told me to hurry and see a doctor.

  7. B 그럼 κ°„λ‹¨ν•œ 검사뢀터 ν•΄ λ³Όκ²Œμš”. ν˜Ήμ‹œ ν•˜λ£¨μ— 화면을 λͺ‡ μ‹œκ°„μ―€ λ΄μš”?

    Geureom gandanhan geomsabuteo hae bolgeyo. Hoksi harue hwamyeoneul myeot siganjjeum bwayo?

    Then let's start with a few simple tests. Roughly how many hours a day do you look at screens?

  8. A νšŒμ‚¬μ—μ„œ μ»΄ν“¨ν„°λ‘œ 아홉 μ‹œκ°„, 집에 μ™€μ„œ νœ΄λŒ€ν°μœΌλ‘œ λ‹€μ„― μ‹œκ°„μ―€μ΄μš”.

    Hoesaeseo keompyuteoro ahop sigan, jibe waseo hyudaeponeuro daseot siganjjeumiyo.

    Nine hours on the computer at work, and then about five on my phone at home.

  9. B 그럼 ν•˜λ£¨μ— μ—΄λ„€ μ‹œκ°„μ΄λ„€μš”. λˆˆμ„ λ³΄λ‹ˆκΉŒ 많이 κ±΄μ‘°ν•˜κ³  λΉ¨κ°›κ²Œ 좩혈돼 μžˆμ–΄μš”.

    Geureom harue yeolle siganineyo. Nuneul bonikka mani geonjohago ppalgake chunghyeoldwae isseoyo.

    So that's fourteen hours a day. Looking at your eyes, they're very dry and bloodshot.

  10. A 그럼 λ‡Œμ—λŠ” λ¬Έμ œκ°€ μ—†λŠ” κ±°μ˜ˆμš”?

    Geureom noeeneun munjega eomneun geoyeyo?

    So there's nothing wrong with my brain?

  11. B 검사 결과둜 보면 λ‹€λ₯Έ 이상은 μ—†μ–΄μš”. 눈이 ν”Όκ³€ν•˜κ³  λͺ©μ΄λž‘ μ–΄κΉ¨κ°€ λ­‰μ³μ„œ μƒκΈ°λŠ” 두톡 κ°™μ•„μš”.

    Geomsa gyeolgwaro bomyeon dareun isangeun eopseoyo. Nuni pigonhago mogirang eokkaega mungchyeoseo saenggineun dutong gatayo.

    Judging by the tests, there's nothing else wrong. It looks like a headache from tired eyes and a stiff neck and shoulders.

  12. A 휴, 닀행이닀! 그럼 약은 뭘 λ¨Ήμ–΄μ•Ό λΌμš”?

    Hyu, dahaengida! Geureom yageun mwol meogeoya dwaeyo?

    Phew, what a relief. So what should I take for it?

  13. B 인곡 λˆˆλ¬Όμ„ μ²˜λ°©ν•΄ λ“œλ¦΄κ²Œμš”. 그리고 제일 쒋은 약은 μ‰¬λŠ” κ±°μ˜ˆμš”. 50λΆ„ 보면 10뢄은 화면을 λ„μ„Έμš”.

    Ingong nunmureul cheobanghae deurilgeyo. Geurigo jeil joeun yageun swineun geoyeyo. 50bun bomyeon 10buneun hwamyeoneul kkeuseyo.

    I'll prescribe some artificial tears. But the best medicine is rest. For every 50 minutes on a screen, switch it off for 10.

  14. A μ•Œκ² μ–΄μš”. 괜히 κ²λ¨Ήμ—ˆλ„€μš”. 집에 κ°€μ„œ κ·Έ μ±—λ΄‡ν•œν…Œ λ”°μ Έμ•Όκ² μ–΄μš”.

    Algesseoyo. Gwaenhi geommeogeonneyo. Jibe gaseo geu chaetbotante ttajyeoyagesseoyo.

    Okay. I got scared over nothing. I'm going to go home and have a word with that chatbot.

  15. B ν•˜ν•˜, μ±—λ΄‡ν•˜κ³  μ–˜κΈ°ν•˜λŠ” 것도 ν™”λ©΄ λ³΄λŠ” κ±°μ˜ˆμš”.

    Haha, chaetbotago yaegihaneun geotdo hwamyeon boneun geoyeyo.

    Ha ha, talking to the chatbot counts as screen time too.
