Day 52: The MZ Sketch Wasn't Funny
In a cafรฉ, three friends, Yerin (A), Dohyun (B) and Jisu (C), have just watched a comedy sketch that pokes fun at young office workers of the "MZ generation."
How to study this lesson 4 steps
- Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

I didn't find it funny at all. It makes all young people look lazy and rude.

But my department head watches it like it's a documentary. When I leave right at six, the first thing he does is sigh.

Not every time. Once a month, I'll go. But three times a week is a bit...

See? They never show that part. They only make young people look weird, and that's what bugs me.

Deutgo boni geureonne. Utgideorado hanjjongman gyesok nollimyeon jom bulpyeonhal su itgetda.
Now that you say it, you're right. Even if it's funny, making fun of just one side over and over could rub people the wrong way.
