| 부인: 여보! 청소 했어? 아휴... 나 청소 하는 사이에 빨래 널어. |
| 남편: 응. 신문 조금 남았어. |
| 부인: 휴... 됐어. 나 청소 하는 사이에 밖에 있어. 들어오지 마! |
| Gyeong-eun: 영어로 한 번 더 (yeongeoro han beon deo). |

| 부인: 여보! 여보! 나 밥 하는 사이에 청소 좀 해... |
| Hyunwoo: Honey! While I'm cooking, please clean the room. |
| 남편: 응. |
| Hyunwoo: Okay. |
| 부인: 여보! 왜 누워 있어? 청소는? |
| Hyunwoo: Honey! Why are you lying down? What about cleaning? |
| 남편: 응. 할게. 밥 다 했어? |
| Hyunwoo: Okay, I'll do it. Did you finish cooking? |
| 부인: 다 했어. 그럼 밥 먹고 해. |

| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Hyunwoo: I don't know if I can speak for everybody, but I think this kind of situation is what a lot of girls are worried that might happen after they get married. |
| Gyeong-eun: 네. 맞아요. 결혼하면 게을러지는 남자들이 많은 것 같아요. |
| Hyunwoo: Yeah, I think a lot of guys get lazy after they get married, too. |
| Gyeong-eun: 네, 그런거 보면 결혼하기 싫어져요. 왜 그런 거예요? |
| Hyunwoo: I don't know why. don't ask me! 아직 결혼해 본 적이 없어서 잘 모르니까 저한테 물어보지 마세요. 하하. |
| Gyeong-eun: But don't you have friends who have already got married? |
| Hyunwoo: Um.... I do! I do have friends who got married already; because they might be listening… They are really good husbands! |
| Gyeong-eun: I don't believe you. |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Hyunwoo: Okay, let's have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. So the first word is, |
| Gyeong-eun: 눕다 |
| Hyunwoo: “to lie down” |
| Gyeong-eun: (slow) 눕다 (normal) 눕다 |
| Hyunwoo: 아주 중요한 단어죠. |
| Gyeong-eun: 하하 왜요? |
| Hyunwoo: Why is it an important word? Everybody loves lying down and relaxing, so 눕다 is a very important word to know! |
| Gyeong-eun: Haha. 맞아요. 저도 좋아해요. |
| Hyunwoo: But you know, 눕다 is an irregular verb, so sometimes you need to drop the ㅂ in the letter 눕, and make it 누 when you conjugate it. |
| Gyeong-eun: 네, 맞아요. 같이 한번 해볼까요? |
| Hyunwoo: So it becomes, 눕다, 눕고, 눕자, but |
| Gyeong-eun: 누워요, 누웠어요, 누울게요 and etc. |
| Hyunwoo: Yeah, and actually, when I sleep, I lie down on my back, but when I wake up, I often find myself lying on my stomach. Do you do that, too? |
| Gyeong-eun: Haha. Sometimes. |
| Hyunwoo: So 눕다 is technically only 'lying down on one's back' and lying on one's stomach is ? |
| Gyeong-eun: 엎드리다 |
| Hyunwoo: 엎드리다 |
| Gyeong-eun: 엎드리다 |
| Hyunwoo: right. 저는 엎드려서 잘 때가 많아요. |
| Gyeong-eun: 책상에서요? |
| Hyunwoo: 아니요. 하하. 밤에 잘 때요. And what's the next word we're looking at? |
| Gyeong-eun: 널다 |
| Hyunwoo: “to hang something out to dry”, especially laundry |
| Gyeong-eun: (slow) 널다 (normal) 널다 |
| Hyunwoo: And this is not to be confused with 놀다. |
| Gyeong-eun: Haha, right. 놀다 is “to play, to hang out”, and it's different from 널다. 놀다하고 널다는 다르죠. |
| Hyunwoo: 네. 주의하세요. 놀다 and 널다, 하하. Okay then how about we look at the grammar point of this lesson now? |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Hyunwoo: What's the grammar point of this lesson? |
| Gyeong-eun: The grammar point of this lesson is how to say "while..." |
| Hyunwoo: As in the example? |
| Gyeong-eun: 내가 공부하는 사이에 넌 뭐 했어? |
| Hyunwoo: "While I was studying, what did you do?" |
| Gyeong-eun: Yeah, when you want to say "while someone does something" or "while something is happening" in Korean, there are a few expressions that you can use. |
| Hyunwoo: Yeah, and in this lesson we are introducing |
| Gyeong-eun: -ㄴ/는 사이에 |
| Hyunwoo: 사이 literally means "interval," "gap," or "between" so -ㄴ/는 사이에 means "in the gap" or "between the beginning and the end of the action" so it has the meaning of "while" something happens. |
| Gyeong-eun: Yeah, like I said, there are some similar expressions, like -ㄴ/는 동안에, or-ㄹ/을 때. |
| Hyunwoo: 맞아요. Then how do you use ㄴ/는 사이에? |
| Gyeong-eun: It's very simple. you just add -ㄴ/는 사이에 after the verb stem. |
| Hyunwoo: So, for example, how do you say "to sleep"? |
| Gyeong-eun: 자다 |
| Hyunwoo: And how do you say "while you are sleeping" or "while I am sleeping"? |
| Gyeong-eun: 자는 사이에 |
| Hyunwoo: How about "The movie ended while I was sleeping." |
| Gyeong-eun: 자는 사이에 영화가 다 끝났어요. |
| Hyunwoo: Haha, good. The tense is usually only expressed in the last verb of the sentence, so you don't always have to change the verb stem in front of -ㄴ/는 사이에 to the past tense, but sometimes you can change the tense in order to have a more accurate nuance. |
| Gyeong-eun: Yeah for example, you can say 자는 사이에 but you can also say 자고 있는 사이에 |
| Hyunwoo: Yeah, and for the past tense, -ㄴ/는 사이에 can be changed to -던 사이에, as well as be used as is. |
| Gyeong-eun: Yeah so, 자는 사이에 can be changed to 자던 사이에 to be used in a past tense sentence. |
| Hyunwoo: So let's look at how this grammar point was used in the dialogue for this lesson. |
| Gyeong-eun: 나 밥 하는 사이에 청소 좀 해... |
| Hyunwoo: "While I'm cooking, please clean the room." |
| Gyeong-eun: 그럼 나 설거지 하는 사이에 청소해. |
| Hyunwoo: "Then while I'm washing the dishes, please clean the room." |
| Gyeong-eun: 설거지 하는 사이에 청소 좀 해 줘. |
| Hyunwoo: "Please clean the room while I wash the dishes." |
| Gyeong-eun: 나 청소 하는 사이에 빨래 널어. |
| Hyunwoo: "So while I’m cleaning, you hang out the laundry!" |
| Gyeong-eun: 나 청소 하는 사이에 밖에 있어. |
| Hyunwoo: "Stay outside while I clean the room. " Great. So let's look at some more examples before we go. What do you think, 경은 씨? |
| Gyeong-eun: 네, 좋아요! |
| Hyunwoo: I’ll say the English part, and please say the Korean part for me. So how do you say "This is something that happened while I was not here." |
| Gyeong-eun: 이건 제가 없는 사이에 일어난 일이에요. |
| Hyunwoo: And how do you say, "While I was outside, my dog made my room dirty." |
| Gyeong-eun: 제가 외출한 사이에 강아지가 방을 더럽혔어요. |
| Hyunwoo: Okay, and lastly, how do you say, "While I was waiting for you here, where were you doing what?" |
| Gyeong-eun: 내가 여기서 기다리고 있는 사이에 너는 어디에서 뭐 했어? |
Outro |
| Hyunwoo: Okay, 경은 씨, 오늘 여기까지 할까요? |
| Gyeong-eun: 네, 현우 씨! |
| Hyunwoo: 네. |
| Gyeong-eun: 제가 일하는 사이에 뭐 했어요, 도대체? |
| Hyunwoo: 저는 밖에서 놀고 있었어요. |
| Gyeong-eun: 아, 너무 나빠요. |
| Hyunwoo: 아니에요. 사실은 널고 있었어요, 빨래를. |
| Gyeong-eun: 하하! 놀고 있었던거 아니에요? |
| Hyunwoo: 아…빨래를 널면서 놀고 있었죠, 하하. |
| Gyeong-eun: 네, 알겠습니다. |
| Hyunwoo: Haha, okay so, that just about does it for today, and we will see you next time! 안녕히 계세요. |
| Gyeong-eun: 네, 안녕히 계세요. |
