Dialogue 1. Inviting a friend

Su-jeong 리리야? 너 내일 시간 있어? [Ririya? Neo naeil sigan isseo?] Ri Ri, are you free tomorrow? Ri Ri 내일? 글쎄, 오전에는 친구랑 약속이 있는데. 하지만 1시 이후에는 괜찮아. 왜? 무슨 일 있어? [Naeil? Geulsse, ojeoneneun chingurang yaksogi inneunde. Hajiman hansi ihueneun gwaenchana. Wae? Museun il isseo?] Tomorrow? Let me see. I have an appointment with my friend in the morning. But I'm free after one o'clock. Why? Is there something going on? Su-jeong 아니, 며칠 전에 내가 이사를 했거든. 그래서 너를 우리 집에 초대하려고. [Ani, myeochil jeone naega isareul haetgeodeun. Geuraeseo neoreul uri jibe chodaeharyeogo.] No, I moved a few days ago. So I want to invite you to my house. Ri Ri 정말? 축하해. 집들이 하는 거야? [Jeongmal? Chukahae. Jipdeuri haneun geoya?] Really? Congratulations. You’re having a housewarming party? Su-jeong 응. 위위도 초대했으니까 같이 와. [Eung. Wiwido chodaehaesseunikka gachi wa.] Yes. I also invited Wi Wi so you can come together. Ri Ri 좋아. 그런데 집들이 선물로 뭐 필요한 건 없어? 우리가 준비해 갈 게. [Joa. Geureonde jipdeuri seonmullo mwo piryohan geon eopseo? Uriga junbihae gal ge.] Sure. By the way, do you need something for your housewarming? We'll prepare something. Su-jeong 아니야. 집들이 선물 많이 받아서 아무것도 필요없어. 그냥 와. 우리 집은 한남역 앞에 있는 한국아파트 102동1002호야. [Aniya. Jipdeuri seonmul mani badaseo amugeotdo piryo eobseo. Geunyang wa. Uri jibeun hannamyeok ape inneun hangukapateu baegidong cheonihoya.] No. I got a lot of housewarming gifts, so I don't need anything. Just come. My house is 1002 of Hanguk Apartment building number 102, next to Hannam Station. Ri Ri 알았어. 그럼, 우리가 집들이 선물로 휴지랑 세제를 사가지고 갈 게. [Arasseo. Geureom, uriga jipdeuri seonmullo hyujirang sejereul sa gajigo gal ge.] Okay. Then we'll buy toilet paper and washing machine detergent as housewarming gifts. Su-jeong 그래. 알았어. 그럼 우리 내일 보자. [Geurae. Arasseo. Geureom uri naeil boja.] Okay. Then see you tomorrow. Ri Ri 초대해 줘서 고마워. 안녕! [Chodaehae jwoseo gomawo. Annyeong!] Thank you for inviting me. Bye!

Dialogue 2. When invited to a friend’s house

Yun-ha 어서 와! 집 찾느라고 고생했지? [Eoseo wa! Jip channeurago gosaenghaetji?] Hello! Did you have a hard time locating the house? Ri Ri 아니야. 전철역에서 가까워서 금방 찾았어. [Aniya. Jeoncheolyeogeseo gakkawoseo geumbang chajatsseo.] No. It was easy to find because it is close to the subway station. Wi Wi 이거 집들이 선물이야. 뭘 사야 할지 몰라서 그냥 작은 화분을 샀어. [Igeo jipdeuri seonmuriya. Mwol saya halji mollaseo geunyang jageun hwabuneul sasseo.] This is a housewarming gift. We didn't know what to buy, so we bought a small flowerpot. Yun-ha 그냥 와도 괜찮은데 고마워. [Geunyang wado gwaenchaneunde gomawo.] You didn't have to. Thank you so much. Ri Ri 우와! 집이 깨끗하고 예쁘다. 집 구경 좀 해도 돼? [Uwa! Jibi kkaekkeutago yeppeuda. Jib gugyeong jom haedo dwae?] Wow! The house is clean and pretty. Can we look around the house? Yun-ha 응. 괜찮아. 너희 온다고 청소했어. 하지만 이사한 지 얼마 안 돼서 조금 엉망이야. [Eung. Gwaenchana. Neoheui ondago cheongsohaesseo. Hajiman isahan ji eolma an dwaeseo jogeum eongmangiya.] Sure. I cleaned up the house because you were coming. But it's still a little messy since I moved recently. Wi Wi 뭘, 집이 넓고 아늑하고 좋은데. [Mwol, jibi neolgo aneukago joeunde.] No, the house is spacious and cozy. It's nice. Ri Ri 집을 산 거야? 많이 비싸 보이는데... [Jibeul san geoya? Mani bissa boineunde...] Did you buy the house? It looks very expensive. Yun-ha 아니야, 한국에서 집 사기는 너무 힘들어. 전세야. [Aniya, jib sagineun neomu himdeureo. Jeonseya.] No, it's hard to buy a house. It's a long-term lease on a deposit basis. Wi Wi 그렇구나. 그래도 이렇게 좋은 집에 살다니 너 성공했구나? 우리에게 구두쇠처럼 야박하게 굴더니. [Geureokuna. Geuraedo ireoke joeun jibe saldani neo seonggonghaetguna? Uriege gudusoecheoreom yabakage guldeoni.] Oh, really. But to live in a great house like this, you have succeeded. No wonder you've been so stingy. Everybody 하하하. [Hahaha.] Ha ha ha. Yun-ha 미안. 대신 내가 맛있는 점심 준비했으니까 다 용서해주고 우리 점심 맛있게 먹자. [Mian. Daesin naega masinneun jeomsim junbihaesseunikka da yongseohaejugo uri jeomsim masitge meokja.] I'm sorry. Instead I've prepared a delicious lunch. So forgive me for everything. Let's enjoy the meal. Wi Wi, Ri Ri 하하. 알았어. [Haha. Arasseo.] Ha ha. Okay.
