Jaehwi: 오랜만의 가족 모임! 조카들이 많이 컸네. (oraenmanui gajok moim! jokadeuri mani keonne.)
Becky: "Long time since a family gathering. Nephews have grown up a lot."

Becky: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "It’s been a long time since a family gathering"
Jaehwi: 오랜만의 가족모임! (oraenmanui gajok moim! )
Becky: You can use the noun..
Jaehwi: 오랜만 (oraenman)
Becky: ..to mean "after a long time, been a long time" so you can use it with other event names, such as
Jaehwi: 오랜만의 동창회 (oraenmanui dongchangheo)
Becky: which means "Long time since an alumni gathering." for example. Listen again- "Long time since a family gathering" is...
Jaehwi: (SLOW) 오랜만의 가족모임! (oraenmanui gajok moim! ) (REGULAR) 오랜만의 가족모임! (oraenmanui gajok moim! )
Becky: Then comes the phrase - "Nephews have grown up a lot.."
Jaehwi: 조카들이 많이 컸네. (jokadeuri mani keonne.)
Becky: In Korean, just one word..
Jaehwi: 조카 (joka)
Becky: ..can be used to mean both nephews and nieces. Listen again- "Nephews have grown up a lot." is...
Jaehwi: (SLOW) 조카들이 많이 컸네. (jokadeuri mani keonne.) (REGULAR) 조카들이 많이 컸네. (jokadeuri mani keonne.)
Becky: All together, "Long time since a family gathering. Nephews have grown up a lot."
Jaehwi: 오랜만의 가족 모임! 조카들이 많이 컸네. (oraenmanui gajok moim! jokadeuri mani keonne.)
