DIALOGUE
수희: 또 커피 마셔요?
봉진: 아... 그냥... 하하.
수희: 커피 너무 마시면 안 좋아요.
봉진: 알아요. 그래도 자꾸 마시게 되네요.
수희: 조금 줄이세요. 몸에 안 좋아요.
봉진: 네. 그런데 수희 씨는 왜 또 밖에 나왔어요?
수희: 저요? 그냥 사무실에 있으면 너무 졸려요. 그래서 자꾸 나오게 되네요.
봉진: 커피 마실래요?
수희: 아, 아니에요. 저는 괜찮아요. 그럼 먼저 들어갈게요.
suhi: tto keopi masyeoyo?
bongjin: a... geunyang... haha.
suhi: keopi neomu masimyeon an joayo.
bongjin: arayo. geuraedo jakku masige doeneyo.
suhi: jogeum juriseyo. mom-e an joayo.

Suhee: You're drinking coffee again?
Bongjin: Oh...I'm just... Haha.
Suhee: It's not good to drink too much coffee.
Bongjin: I know. But I can't help but keep drinking.
Suhee: Cut down on it a little bit. It's not good for your body.
Bongjin: You're right. But Suhee, why are you outside again?
Suhee: Me? I feel so sleepy if I just stay in the office. So I keep coming outside.
Bongjin: Do you want to have some coffee?
Suhee: Haha. No thanks. I'm all right. Then I'll go in first.
POST CONVERSATION BANTER
Hyunwoo: 경은씨, what is something that you keep ending up doing even though you don’t want to do it.
Gyeongeun: Same as 봉진 here. I drink coffee too often 커피를 자꾸 마시게 돼요.
Hyunwoo: So you get to keep drinking coffee even though you don’t want to drink so often. Well for me, I am okay with coffee but for me, instead of taking the bus, I always end up just taking the subway 버스를 타는 대신에 항상 지하철을 타게 돼요.
Gyeongeun: Why is that?
Hyunwoo: There are buses that take me to the places that I want to go more quickly 제가 가고싶은 곳에 더 빨리 데려다 주는 버스들도 있는데 I just don’t like to wait for the bus without knowing when it’s coming. 언제 올지 모르면서 버스를 기다리는게 정말 싫어요.
Gyeongeun: 저도 그건 싫어요.
Hyunwoo: Oh yeah and we are going to learn how to use this structure that we just used -게 되다 in a little more detail in the grammar section but for now
VOCAB LIST
Gyeongeun: Let’s look at the vocabulary.
Hyunwoo: Great. Let’s go. So the first word is
Gyeongeun: 자꾸
Hyunwoo: Often, continuously, to continue to do.
Gyeongeun: 자꾸 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 자꾸 [natural native speed]
Hyunwoo: 그리고
Gyeongeun: 줄이다
Hyunwoo: To reduce, to cut down on
Gyeongeun: 줄이다 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 줄이다 [natural native speed]
Hyunwoo: And
Gyeongeun: 밖
Hyunwoo: Outside
Gyeongeun: 밖 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 밖 [natural native speed]
Hyunwoo: 그 다음에는
Gyeongeun: 졸리다
Hyunwoo: To feel sleepy.
Gyeongeun: 졸리다 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 졸리다 [natural native speed]
Hyunwoo: 그리고
Gyeongeun: 먼저
Hyunwoo: First, before other things.
Gyeongeun: 먼저 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 먼저 [natural native speed]
Hyunwoo: 그 다음에는
Gyeongeun: 들어가다
Hyunwoo: To enter, to go in.
Gyeongeun: 들어가다 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 들어가다 [natural native speed]
VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE
Hyunwoo: All right. Now let’s have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. So the first word we are going to look at is
Gyeongeun: 줄이다
Hyunwoo: To reduce, to cut down on.
Gyeongeun: 줄이다 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 줄이다 [natural native speed]
Hyunwoo: Now this word 줄이다 is a transitive verb. So it means to reduce something.
Gyeongeun: 바지 길이를 줄이다, 담배를 줄이다.
Hyunwoo: To reduce the size of the pants and to cut down on smoking.
Gyeongeun: 네. But if you want to use it in the intransitive sense like something reduces or decreases, you use 줄다.
Hyunwoo: Right 줄이다 and 줄다. So please pay attention to the difference between these two words. Now what is the next word we are looking at?
Gyeongeun: 졸리다
Hyunwoo: To feel sleepy.
Gyeongeun: 졸리다 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 졸리다 [natural native speed]
Hyunwoo: 졸리다 is to feel sleepy but not to actually doze off or to fall asleep right?
Gyeongeun: No it is just to feel sleepy.
Hyunwoo: Then how do you say to doze off or to fall asleep for a little while.
Gyeongeun: 졸다
Hyunwoo: 졸다. So it is the same kind of difference as between 줄다 and 줄이다. Again 줄다 is
Gyeongeun: To decrease, to be reduced
Hyunwoo: And 줄이다 is
Gyeongeun: To reduce something.
Hyunwoo: And 졸다 is
Gyeongeun: To fall asleep, to doze off.
Hyunwoo: And 졸리다
Gyeongeun: Means to feel sleepy.
Hyunwoo: Okay great. 경은씨, 졸지 마세요.
Gyeongeun: 안 졸아요.
Hyunwoo: 졸지 마시고. Now let’s move on to the grammar point.
Gyeongeun: 네, 좋아요.

Lesson focus

Hyunwoo: The grammar point of this lesson is
Gyeongeun: The grammar point of this lesson is how to say to do something without intending to do it or to end up doing something.
Hyunwoo: As in the example.
Gyeongeun: 자꾸 마시게 돼요.
Hyunwoo: I don’t want to but I keep drinking it.
Gyeongeun: Yeah so when you are not exactly intending to do something but somehow ended up doing it due to other reasons
Hyunwoo: You can express it using the structure 게 되다.
Gyeongeun: Yeah originally 게 되다 has the meaning of to become plus adjective right?
Hyunwoo: Yeah but in this case, it can mean to do something without intending to do it in the first place or all in all, to end up doing something as a result. You can use this structure when you are talking about a decision that was made by other people and that influences the subject of the sentence. Okay I think it will be best if you looked at how to use it actually.
Gyeongeun: 네, 맞아요. 예를 들어서 to work is 일하다. So you take the verb stem 일하 and add 게 되다 and it becomes 일하게 되다.
Hyunwoo: 일하게 되다. It has been decided that one will work or to end up working.
Gyeongeun: And another example 예를 하나 더 들어서 to know is 알다. So take the verb stem 알 and add 게 되다 and it becomes 알게 되다.
Hyunwoo: 알게 되다. To get to know or to find out about something without intending to do so.
Gyeongeun: 네, 맞아요.
Hyunwoo: All right. Now let’s look at how you would use it in the dialogue for this lesson.
Gyeongeun: 네, 좋아요. 그래도 자꾸 마시게 되네요.
Hyunwoo: But I can’t help but keep drinking it.
Gyeongeun: 그래서 자꾸 나오게 되네요.
Hyunwoo: So I keep coming outside. Great, how about a few more sample sentences? How do you say, I don’t want to watch it but I keep watching it.
Gyeongeun: 안 보고 싶은데 자꾸 보게 돼요.
Hyunwoo: How about I don’t want to go but I can’t help but keep going.
Gyeongeun: 안 가고 싶은데 가게 돼요.
Hyunwoo: And lastly how about, As a result of many things, I am going to be working here.
Gyeongeun: 여기에서 일하게 됐어요.

Outro

Hyunwoo: All right. That just about does it for today.
Gyeongeun: Ready to test what you just learned.
Hyunwoo: Make this lesson’s vocabulary stick by using lesson specific flash cards in the learning center.
Gyeongeun: There is a reason everyone uses flash cards.
