Day 73 of 185

Day 73: A Payment Bug Before Launch

At 11 p.m. in a small startup office, Doyoon (A), a developer, calls over Seohyun (B), the product planner, the night before their app launches.

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„œν˜„ 씨, 이것 μ’€ 봐 μ€„λž˜μš”? 결제 λ²„νŠΌμ„ 두 번 λˆ„λ₯΄λ©΄ 돈이 두 번 λ‚˜κ°€μš”.

    Seohyeon ssi, igeot jom bwa jullaeyo? Gyeolje beoteuneul du beon nureumyeon doni du beon nagayo.

    Seohyun, can you take a look at this? If you press the payment button twice, it charges you twice.

  2. B λ„€? μ§„μ§œμš”? μΆœμ‹œκ°€ 내일 μ•„μΉ¨ 아홉 μ‹œμΈλ°μš”.

    Ne? Jinjjayo? Chulsiga naeil achim ahop siindeyo.

    What? Really? We launch at nine tomorrow morning.

  3. A κ·ΈλŸ¬λ‹ˆκΉŒμš”. 방금 λ§ˆμ§€λ§‰μœΌλ‘œ ν…ŒμŠ€νŠΈν•˜λ‹€κ°€ λ°œκ²¬ν–ˆμ–΄μš”.

    Geureonikkayo. Banggeum majimageuro teseuteuhadaga balgyeonhaesseoyo.

    I know. I just found it during the final test.

  4. B μ§€κΈˆ 벌써 μ—΄ν•œ μ‹œμ˜ˆμš”. μ˜€λŠ˜μ€ λ“€μ–΄κ°€μ„œ 자고, 내일 일찍 μ™€μ„œ 고치면 μ•ˆ λ κΉŒμš”?

    Jigeum beolsseo yeolhan siyeyo. Oneureun deureogaseo jago, naeil iljjik waseo gochimyeon an doelkkayo?

    It's already eleven. Couldn't we go home and sleep, then come in early and fix it?

  5. A 아침에 κ³ μΉ˜λ‹€κ°€ λ¬Έμ œκ°€ 또 생기면 μΆœμ‹œλ₯Ό λͺ» ν•΄μš”. 였늘 밀에 κ³ μ³μ•Όμ§€μš”.

    Achime gochidaga munjega tto saenggimyeon chulsireul mot haeyo. Oneul bame gochyeoyajiyo.

    If we fix it in the morning and something else breaks, we can't launch. We have to fix it tonight.

  6. B ν•˜κΈ΄, 첫날뢀터 돈이 두 λ²ˆμ”© λ‚˜κ°€λ©΄ λ‚œλ¦¬κ°€ λ‚˜κ² μ£ .

    Hagin, cheonnalbuteo doni du beonssik nagamyeon nalliga nagetjyo.

    True. If people get charged twice on day one, all hell will break loose.

  7. A 별점 ν•˜λ‚˜μ§œλ¦¬ 리뷰가 μŸμ•„μ§ˆ κ±°μ˜ˆμš”. 그건 λ§‰μ•„μ•Όμ§€μš”.

    Byeoljeom hanajjari ribyuga ssodajil geoyeyo. Geugeon magayajiyo.

    We'd be flooded with one-star reviews. We have to stop that.

  8. B μ•Œκ² μ–΄μš”. 그럼 일을 λ‚˜λˆ μš”. μ €λŠ” 뭘 ν•˜λ©΄ λΌμš”?

    Algesseoyo. Geureom ireul nanwoyo. Jeoneun mwol hamyeon dwaeyo?

    All right. Let's split the work, then. What should I do?

  9. A μ½”λ“œλŠ” μ œκ°€ κ³ μΉ κ²Œμš”. μ„œν˜„ μ”¨λŠ” 결제 과정을 μ²˜μŒλΆ€ν„° λκΉŒμ§€ λ‹€μ‹œ ν…ŒμŠ€νŠΈν•΄ μ£Όμ„Έμš”.

    Kodeuneun jega gochilgeyo. Seohyeon ssineun gyeolje gwajeongeul cheoeumbuteo kkeutkkaji dasi teseuteuhae juseyo.

    I'll fix the code. Could you test the whole payment process again, from start to finish?

  10. B μ’‹μ•„μš”. ν…ŒμŠ€νŠΈν•˜λŠ” 김에 결제 μ™„λ£Œ μ•ˆλ‚΄ 문ꡬ도 λ‹€μ‹œ λ³Όκ²Œμš”. μ•„κΉŒ μ˜€νƒ€κ°€ ν•˜λ‚˜ μžˆμ—ˆκ±°λ“ μš”.

    Joayo. Teseuteuhaneun gime gyeolje wallyo annae mungudo dasi bolgeyo. Akka otaga hana isseotgeodeunyo.

    Sure. While I'm testing, I'll check the payment confirmation message again too. I spotted a typo earlier.

  11. A μ—­μ‹œ κΌΌκΌΌν•˜λ„€μš”. 두 μ‹œκ°„ μ•ˆμ— 끝내 λ΄μš”.

    Yeoksi kkomkkomhaneyo. Du sigan ane kkeunnae bwayo.

    You never miss a thing. Let's try to finish in two hours.

  12. B 그럼 μ € 컀피 μ‚¬λŸ¬ κ°€λŠ” 김에 컡라면도 사 μ˜¬κ²Œμš”. λ°°κ³ ν”„λ©΄ 일이 μ•ˆ λ˜μž–μ•„μš”.

    Geureom jeo keopi sareo ganeun gime keomnamyeondo sa olgeyo. Baegopeumyeon iri an doejanayo.

    Then since I'm going out for coffee anyway, I'll get us some cup noodles too. We can't work on an empty stomach.

  13. A μ’‹μ•„μš”. λŒ€μ‹  μΆœμ‹œ λλ‚˜λ©΄ 우리 λ‘˜ λ‹€ ν•˜λ£¨λŠ” ν‘Ή μ‰¬μ–΄μ•Όμ§€μš”.

    Joayo. Daesin chulsi kkeunnamyeon uri dul da haruneun puk swieoyajiyo.

    Great. But once the launch is over, we both deserve a day of proper rest.
