Day 42: An Angry Comment Under Our Post

At a snack company, Minho (A), a junior employee who runs the brand's Instagram account, shows his team manager, Mr. Choi (B), something on his phone.

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 νŒ€μž₯λ‹˜, 이것 μ’€ λ³΄μ„Έμš”. μ–΄μ œ 올린 μ‹ μ œν’ˆ 사진에 고객 λŒ“κΈ€μ΄ ν•˜λ‚˜ λ‹¬λ ΈλŠ”λ°μš”.

    Timjangnim, igeot jom boseyo. Eoje ollin sinjepum sajine gogaek daetgeuri hana dallyeonneundeyo.

    Mr. Choi, take a look at this. A customer left a comment on the new product photo we posted yesterday.

  2. B λ­”λ°μš”? μ’‹μ•„μš”κ°€ 벌써 μ‚Όμ²œ κ°œλ‚˜ λ˜λ„€μš”?

    Mwondeyo? Joayoga beolsseo samcheon gaena doeneyo?

    What is it? It's already got three thousand likes?

  3. A "과자 반, 곡기 반인데 가격은 또 μ˜¬λ Έλ„€μš”." 이런 λ‚΄μš©μ΄μ—μš”. 곡감 λŒ“κΈ€λ„ 계속 달리고 μžˆμ–΄μš”.

    "Gwaja ban, gonggi baninde gagyeogeun tto ollyeonneyo." Ireon naeyongieyo. Gonggam daetgeuldo gyesok dalligo isseoyo.

    "Half snack, half air, and you've raised the price again." That's the gist. And people keep piling on in agreement.

  4. B 가격 올린 건 μ‚¬μ‹€μ΄λ‹ˆκΉŒ λ¬΄μ‹œν•  μˆ˜λŠ” μ—†κ² λ„€μš”. μ§€μš°λ©΄ 더 컀질 κ±°κ³ μš”.

    Gagyeok ollin geon sasirinikka musihal suneun eopgenneyo. Jiumyeon deo keojil geogoyo.

    We did raise the price, so we can't ignore it. And if we delete it, it'll only blow up more.

  5. A λ„€, κ·Έλž˜μ„œ 닡변을 미리 써 λ΄€μ–΄μš”. κ³Όμžκ°€ λΆ€μ„œμ§€μ§€ μ•Šκ²Œ 곡기λ₯Ό λ„£λŠ”λ‹€κ³  μ„€λͺ…ν–ˆμ–΄μš”.

    Ne, geuraeseo dapbyeoneul miri sseo bwasseoyo. Gwajaga buseojiji anke gonggireul neonneundago seolmyeonghaesseoyo.

    Right, so I drafted a reply. I explained that we put air in so the snacks don't get crushed.

  6. B μ„€λͺ…은 쒋은데 μ’€ λ³€λͺ…μ²˜λŸΌ λ“€λ €μš”. λ¨Όμ € 사과뢀터 ν•˜λŠ” 게 μ’‹κ² μ–΄μš”.

    Seolmyeongeun joeunde jom byeonmyeongcheoreom deullyeoyo. Meonjeo sagwabuteo haneun ge jokesseoyo.

    The explanation's fine, but it sounds a bit like an excuse. It'd be better to start with an apology.

  7. A μ•Œκ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 가격 μ–˜κΈ°λŠ” μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ ν• κΉŒμš”? μ›μž¬λ£Œ 값이 였λ₯Έ 건 λ§žμž–μ•„μš”.

    Algetseumnida. Gagyeok yaegineun eotteoke halkkayo? Wonjaeryo gapsi oreun geon matjanayo.

    Got it. And what about the price? It's true that ingredient costs went up.

  8. B μ›μž¬λ£Œ μ–˜κΈ°λŠ” λΉΌκ³ , λ‹€μŒ 달뢀터 양을 10% λŠ˜λ¦°λ‹€κ³ λ§Œ μ•Œλ € μ£Όμ„Έμš”. 그게 μ§„μ§œ λ‹΅μ΄λ‹ˆκΉŒμš”.

    Wonjaeryo yaegineun ppaego, daeum dalbuteo yangeul 10% neullindagoman allyeo juseyo. Geuge jinjja dabinikkayo.

    Leave the ingredient costs out, and just say we're increasing the amount by 10% from next month. That's the real answer.

  9. A κ·Έκ±° 아직 λ°œν‘œ μ•ˆ ν•œ κ±°μž–μ•„μš”. μ§€κΈˆ μ˜¬λ €λ„ λ˜λŠ”μ§€ λͺ¨λ₯΄κ² λ„€μš”.

    Geugeo ajik balpyo an han geojanayo. Jigeum ollyeodo doeneunji moreugenneyo.

    But that hasn't been announced yet. I'm not sure we're allowed to post it now.

  10. B λ§žμ•„μš”. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ λ²•λ¬΄νŒ€ 확인이 λ¨Όμ €μ˜ˆμš”. μ œκ°€ μ§€κΈˆ λ°”λ‘œ λ³΄λ‚Όκ²Œμš”.

    Majayo. Geuraeseo beommutim hwagini meonjeoyeyo. Jega jigeum baro bonaelgeyo.

    True. So the legal team has to check it first. I'll send it to them right now.

  11. A 그럼 λ²•λ¬΄νŒ€μ΄ ν™•μΈν•˜λŠ” λŒ€λ‘œ λ°”λ‘œ μ˜¬λ¦΄κ²Œμš”.

    Geureom beommutimi hwaginhaneun daero baro ollilgeyo.

    Then I'll post it the moment legal signs off.

  12. B μ’‹μ•„μš”. μ˜¬λ¦¬λŠ” 김에 λ‹€λ₯Έ λŒ“κΈ€λ“€λ„ μ­‰ 보고 λΉ„μŠ·ν•œ 뢈만이 더 μžˆλŠ”μ§€ 확인해 μ£Όμ„Έμš”.

    Joayo. Ollineun gime dareun daetgeuldeuldo jjuk bogo biseutan bulmani deo inneunji hwaginhae juseyo.

    Good. And while you're at it, go through the other comments and check whether there are more complaints like this.

  13. A λ„€, μ •λ¦¬ν•΄μ„œ λ³΄κ³ λ“œλ¦΄κ²Œμš”. 닡변이 μ˜¬λΌκ°€λŠ” λŒ€λ‘œ 링크도 보내 λ“œλ¦΄κ²Œμš”.

    Ne, jeongnihaeseo bogodeurilgeyo. Dapbyeoni ollaganeun daero ringkeudo bonae deurilgeyo.

    Will do. I'll put it together and report back. I'll send you the link as soon as the reply's up.

  14. B κ·Έλž˜μš”. μ΄λ²ˆμ— 잘 λŒ€μ‘ν•˜λ©΄ 였히렀 팬이 늘 μˆ˜λ„ μžˆμ–΄μš”.

    Geuraeyo. Ibeone jal daeeunghamyeon ohiryeo paeni neul sudo isseoyo.

    Great. If we handle this well, we might even gain some fans.
