Day 47: Keeping the Festival Open Till Eight

In the teachers' office, Siwoo (A), the student council president, comes to see Mr. Han (B), the teacher in charge of the school festival.

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 μ„ μƒλ‹˜, μΆ•μ œ 일정 λ•Œλ¬Έμ— μ—¬μ­€λ³Ό 게 μžˆμ–΄μ„œ μ™”μ–΄μš”.

    Seonsaengnim, chukje iljeong ttaemune yeojjwobol ge isseoseo wasseoyo.

    Mr. Han, I came to ask you something about the festival schedule.

  2. B 그래, μ‹œμš°μ•Ό. 앉아. 무슨 일인데?

    Geurae, Siuya. Anja. Museun irinde?

    Sure, Siwoo. Have a seat. What's up?

  3. A ν•™μƒνšŒμ—μ„œ 회의λ₯Ό ν–ˆλŠ”λ°, μ˜¬ν•΄λŠ” μΆ•μ œλ₯Ό λ°€ 아홉 μ‹œκΉŒμ§€ ν•  수 μžˆλŠ”μ§€ μ—¬μ­€λ³΄λ €κ³ μš”.

    Haksaenghoeeseo hoeuireul haenneunde, olhaeneun chukjereul bam ahop sikkaji hal su inneunji yeojjwoboryeogoyo.

    The student council had a meeting, and we wanted to ask if we could keep the festival going until nine at night this year.

  4. B 아홉 μ‹œ? μ§€κΈˆμ€ λ‹€μ„― μ‹œλ©΄ λλ‚˜μž–μ•„. λ°€λŠ¦κ²ŒκΉŒμ§€ ν•΄μ„œ 뭐 ν•˜κ²Œ?

    Ahop si? Jigeumeun daseot simyeon kkeunnajana. Bamneutgekkaji haeseo mwo hage?

    Nine? Right now it's over by five. What would you even do that late?

  5. A 저녁에 μš΄λ™μž₯μ—μ„œ λ°΄λ“œ 곡연을 ν•˜κ³ , λ§ˆμ§€λ§‰μ—λŠ” λ‹€ 같이 νœ΄λŒ€ν° λΆˆλΉ›μ„ μΌœλ €κ³ μš”.

    Jeonyeoge undongjangeseo baendeu gongyeoneul hago, majimageneun da gachi hyudaepon bulbicheul kyeoryeogoyo.

    We'd have band performances on the field in the evening, and at the end everyone would switch on their phone lights together.

  6. B λΆ„μœ„κΈ°λŠ” μ’‹κ² λ„€. 근데 λλ‚˜κ³  μΊ„μΊ„ν•œλ° κ·Έ λ§Žμ€ 애듀을 집에 μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ 보내렀고?

    Bunwigineun jokenne. Geunde kkeunnago kamkamhande geu maneun aedeureul jibe eotteoke bonaeryeogo?

    It'd look great. But once it's over and it's dark, how are you planning to get all those kids home?

  7. A κ·Έλž˜μ„œ ν•™λΆ€λͺ¨λ‹˜λ“€κ»˜ λΆ€νƒλ“œλ €μ„œ ꡐ문 μ•žμ—μ„œ μ•ˆλ‚΄ν•΄ μ£Όμ‹€ 뢄듀을 λͺ¨μ•˜μ–΄μš”. 벌써 μ—΄ 뢄이 ν•˜μ‹œκ² λ‹€κ³  ν•˜μ…¨μ–΄μš”.

    Geuraeseo hakbumonimdeulkke butakdeuryeoseo gyomun apeseo annaehae jusil bundeureul moasseoyo. Beolsseo yeol buni hasigetdago hasyeosseoyo.

    That's why we asked the parents for help and found people to guide everyone at the school gate. Ten have already said yes.

  8. B μ€€λΉ„λ₯Ό 많이 ν–ˆκ΅¬λ‚˜. κ·Έλž˜λ„ 아홉 μ‹œλŠ” ꡐμž₯ μ„ μƒλ‹˜μ΄ μ ˆλŒ€ ν—ˆλ½ μ•ˆ ν•˜μ‹€ κ±°μ•Ό.

    Junbireul mani haetguna. Geuraedo ahop sineun gyojang seonsaengnimi jeoldae heorak an hasil geoya.

    You've really done your homework. Still, the principal will never agree to nine.

  9. A 그럼 λͺ‡ μ‹œκΉŒμ§€ κ°€λŠ₯ν•œμ§€ ꡐμž₯ μ„ μƒλ‹˜κ»˜ ν•œλ²ˆ 여쭀봐 μ£Όμ‹€ 수 μžˆμœΌμ„Έμš”?

    Geureom myeot sikkaji ganeunghanji gyojang seonsaengnimkke hanbeon yeojjwobwa jusil su isseuseyo?

    Then could you ask the principal what time might be possible?

  10. B μ—¬λŸ μ‹œκΉŒμ§€λŠ” λ§μ”€λ“œλ € 볼게. κ·Έ 이상은 λ‚˜λ„ 말 λͺ» κΊΌλ‚΄.

    Yeodeol sikkajineun malsseumdeuryeo bolge. Geu isangeun nado mal mot kkeonae.

    I'll try asking for eight. I can't even bring up anything later than that.

  11. A μ—¬λŸ μ‹œμš”? 그럼 λ°΄λ“œ 곡연을 ν•˜λ‚˜ μ€„μ—¬μ•Όκ² λ„€μš”.

    Yeodeol siyo? Geureom baendeu gongyeoneul hana juryeoyagenneyo.

    Eight? Then we'll have to cut one of the band performances.

  12. B 근데 μ‹œμš°μ•Ό, μΆ•μ œ λλ‚˜κ³  κ·Έ μ“°λ ˆκΈ°λŠ” λˆ„κ°€ λ‹€ 치우게?

    Geunde Siuya, chukje kkeunnago geu sseuregineun nuga da chiuge?

    But Siwoo, when the festival's over, who's going to clear up all that rubbish?

  13. A ν•™μƒνšŒκ°€ 치우죠. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ μ²­μ†Œ λ‹Ήλ²ˆν‘œλ„ 벌써 λ§Œλ“€μ–΄ μ™”μ–΄μš”.

    Haksaenghoega chiujyo. Geuraeseo cheongso dangbeonpyodo beolsseo mandeureo wasseoyo.

    The student council, of course. That's why I've already made a cleaning rota.

  14. B μ€€λΉ„μ„± ν•˜λ‚˜λŠ” 정말 μ΅œκ³ λ‹€. κ·Έκ±° λ“€κ³  μ§€κΈˆ 같이 ꡐμž₯μ‹€ κ°€μž.

    Junbiseong hananeun jeongmal choegoda. Geugeo deulgo jigeum gachi gyojangsil gaja.

    Well, you're certainly prepared. Bring that and let's go to the principal's office together, right now.
