Day 68: Did I Snap at My Teammate?

Late at night in their kitchen, Junsu (A), an office worker, has something on his mind while his older brother Junho (B) is making ramyeon.

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.

Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.

    Wae, hoesaeseo museun il isseosseo? Eolguri mari anida.

    Why, did something happen at work? You look awful.

    Oneul hoeui ttae tim dongnyohante hwareul naesseo. Naega malhal ttaemada bandaereul hanikka nado moreuge moksoriga keojideora.

    I snapped at a teammate in a meeting today. He kept shooting down every idea I had, and before I knew it I was raising my voice.

  5. B 뭐라고 ν–ˆλŠ”λ°?

    Mworago haenneunde?

    What did you say?

  6. A "κ·Έλ ‡κ²Œ 잘 μ•„μ‹œλ©΄ 직접 ν•΄ λ³΄μ‹œλ“ μ§€μš”." μ΄λž¬μ–΄. νšŒμ˜μ‹€μ΄ κ°‘μžκΈ° μ‘°μš©ν•΄μ‘Œμ–΄.

    "Geureoke jal asimyeon jikjeop hae bosideunjiyo." Iraesseo. Hoeuisiri gapjagi joyonghaejyeosseo.

    "If you know so much, why don't you do it yourself?" That's what I said. The whole meeting room went quiet.

  7. B μ•„, 그건 μ’€ μ…Œλ‹€. κ·Έ μ‚¬λžŒμ€ λ°˜μ‘μ΄ μ–΄λ• μ–΄?

    A, geugeon jom setda. Geu sarameun baneungi eottaesseo?

    Ouch, that was a bit harsh. How did he take it?

  8. A 아무 말도 μ•ˆ ν–ˆλŠ”λ°, 기뢄이 κ½€ μƒν•œ λ“― λ³΄μ˜€μ–΄. λλ‚˜κ³  λ‚˜μ„œ λ‚˜λž‘ λˆˆλ„ μ•ˆ λ§ˆμ£ΌμΉ˜λ”λΌ. λ‚΄κ°€ λ„ˆλ¬΄ν–ˆλ‚˜?

    Amu maldo an haenneunde, gibuni kkwae sanghan deut boyeosseo. Kkeunnago naseo narang nundo an majuchideora. Naega neomuhaenna?

    He didn't say a word, but he looked pretty hurt. After the meeting he wouldn't even look at me. Did I go too far?

  9. B μ†”μ§νžˆ μ’€ λ„ˆλ¬΄ν–ˆμ§€. ν•˜κΈ΄, λ„ˆλ„ κ·Έλ™μ•ˆ μŒ“μΈ 게 λ§Žμ•˜κ² μ§€.

    Soljiki jom neomuhaetji. Hagin, neodo geudongan ssain ge manatgetji.

    Honestly, a bit. Then again, I guess you'd had a lot building up.

  10. A κ·Έλž˜λ„ λ‹€λ“€ μžˆλŠ” λ°μ„œ 그러면 μ•ˆ λλŠ”λ°. 괜히 κ·Έλž¬μ–΄. 내일 μ–Όκ΅΄ 보기가 λ„ˆλ¬΄ 어색할 것 κ°™μ•„.

    Geuraedo dadeul inneun deseo geureomyeon an dwaenneunde. Gwaenhi geuraesseo. Naeil eolgul bogiga neomu eosaekal geot gata.

    Still, I shouldn't have done it in front of everyone. I wish I hadn't. Seeing him tomorrow is going to be so awkward.

  11. B 길게 말할 ν•„μš” μ—†μ–΄. 내일 아침에 컀피 ν•œ μž” 사 κ°€μ„œ 짧게 사과해.

    Gilge malhal piryo eopseo. Naeil achime keopi han jan sa gaseo jjalge sagwahae.

    No need for a big speech. Tomorrow morning, bring him a coffee and apologise, short and simple.

  12. A 뭐라고 ν•˜μ§€? "μ–΄μ œλŠ” μ œκ°€ μ’€ μ˜ˆλ―Όν–ˆμ–΄μš”." 이 정도면 λ˜λ‚˜?

    Mworago haji? "Eojeneun jega jom yeminhaesseoyo." I jeongdomyeon doena?

    What do I say? "I was a bit on edge yesterday." Would that do?

  13. B λ”± μ’‹λ„€. 그리고 κ·Έ μ‚¬λžŒ μ˜κ²¬λ„ ν•œλ²ˆ λ“€μ–΄ 보겠닀고 ν•΄. 그럼 κ·Έ μ‚¬λžŒλ„ 마음이 풀릴 κ±°μ•Ό.

    Ttak jonne. Geurigo geu saram uigyeondo hanbeon deureo bogetdago hae. Geureom geu saramdo maeumi pullil geoya.

    That's perfect. And tell him you'd like to hear his ideas properly. Then he'll come round too.
