| 고은: 철수야. 너는? 너도 먹을수록 힘이 솟아? |
| 철수: 아니. 나는 먹을수록 조금씩 잠이 오네. |
| 수진: 그러고 보니, 우리 날을 샜구나. 근데 운전은 누가 할 거야? |
| 팀: 물론, 내가 해야지! |
| 수진: 아니야. 내가 할게! |
| 철수: 아니야. 수진아. 제일 건강하고 듬직한 내가 해야지! |
| 고은: 아니야. 철수는 운전대도 먹을지 몰라. 내가 할게! |
| 팀: 야! 그럼 그러지 말고. 우리 3.6.9로 정하자. 이기는 사람이 운전하는 걸로. |
| 철수: 좋았어! |
| Tim: 이번에는 천천히 들어 보겠습니다. |
| 수진: 와. 삼계탕 정말 맛있다! 그렇지? 팀? |

| Sujin: Wow! The chicken soup with ginseng is really delicious! Isn't it, Tim? |
| 팀: 어! 그리고 먹으면 먹을수록 힘이 솟는 것 같아. |
| Tim: Yes! The more I eat it, the more energetic I feel! |
| 수진: 뭐? 먹을수록 힘이 솟아!?? 하하하. |
| Sujin: What? You feel more energetic as you eat it? Ha ha ha! |
| 고은: 철수야. 너는? 너도 먹을수록 힘이 솟아? |
| Goeun: What about you, Cheolsu? Do you feel more energetic the more you eat? |
| 철수: 아니. 나는 먹을수록 조금씩 잠이 오네. |
| Cheolsu: No. The more I eat, the sleepier I become. |
| 수진: 그러고 보니, 우리 날을 샜구나. 근데 운전은 누가 할 거야? |
| Sujin: Come to think of it, we've been up all night. But who's going to drive? |
| 팀: 물론, 내가 해야지! |
| Tim: Of course, that'll be me! |
| 수진: 아니야. 내가 할게! |
| Sujin: No, I'll drive! |
| 철수: 아니야. 수진아. 제일 건강하고 듬직한 내가 해야지! |
| Cheolsu: No. Sujin, I should drive because I'm the healthiest and most reliable! |
| 고은: 아니야. 철수는 운전대도 먹을지 몰라. 내가 할게! |
| Goeun: No. Cheolsu might eat the steering wheel if he drives. I'll do it! |
| 팀: 야! 그럼 그러지 말고. 우리 3.6.9로 정하자. 이기는 사람이 운전하는 걸로. |
| Tim: Hey! Then let's do this. Why don't we decide who gets to drive by playing the "three, six, nine" game? |
| 철수: 좋았어! |
| Cheolsu: That sounds good! |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Joshua: 근데 형, is it true that the more you have chicken soup with ginseng the more energetic you feel? |
| Tim: 아… 삼계탕을 먹을수록 힘이 솟는다. 하하하. That’s a common belief that many Korean people share. |
| Joshua: And many Korean people believe that 삼계탕 can cure and prevent physical ailments. Am I right? |
| Tim: 응, 맞아. By the way, 조슈아는 369 알아? Do you know the game 369? |
| Joshua: 에이, 형. Who do you think I am? 삼 is three, 육 is six and 구 is nine. So 삼육구 means 369. |
| Tim: Okay and anything else? 오늘의 대화에서 무슨 놀이를 하려고 하죠? In today’s conversation, what did they play in order to decide who will drive? |
| Joshua: Ah they played a game called 삼육구, 369. Then, is 369 another social game like 가위바위보 rock paper scissors? |
| Tim: Yes I have to say 369 is the most popular social game among young Koreans today. |
| Joshua: Okay then, can you tell the listeners how to play it? |
| Tim: 음… 그래. 아주 간단해요. You just have to remember not to say any number that has the number 3, 6 or 9. |
| Joshua: Instead of saying it, you have to do something else. Am I right? |
| Tim: Yes, you must clap your hand instead. It goes like this. 1, 2, clap, 4, 5, clap 7, 8, clap and et cetera. |
| Joshua: Aha I think I can beat you at 369. |
| Tim: 뭐라고? How dare you! You wish Joshua. 나 369 정말 잘해. I am very good at this 369 game. Listeners, 369 게임에 대해서 더 알고 싶으면 다음 레슨 꼭 들어 주세요. If you want to know more about 369 game, be sure to tune into next lesson, Lesson 23. |
| Joshua: And what’s more, Tim and I are going to demonstrate the game for you guys. 맞지요, 형? |

| Joshua: Let’s have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Joshua: The first word is |
| Tim: 힘이 솟다. To feel energetic. Let’s break the word down. 힘 is a noun meaning physical strength or energy |
| Joshua: And 솟다 is a verb meaning to surge up or to rise or to soar. |
| Tim: Yes. So altogether 힘이 솟다 means to feel energetic. Here is an example sentence. 수퍼맨은 옷을 벗으면 힘이 솟는다. |
| Joshua: Which means Superman feels energetic whenever he takes his shirt off. Ha ha nice example. What’s the next word? |
| Tim: Okay. 날 새다 to stay up all night. Let’s break the word down. 날 is a noun meaning day or daybreak. |
| Joshua: 새다 is a verb meaning to break morning. |
| Tim: So altogether 날 새다 means day breaks or morning dawns. |
| Joshua: 형, an example please. |
| Tim: Okay. What about this? 팀은 날이 샐 때까지 밤을 샜어요. |
| Joshua: Which means Tim stayed up all night until the morning. Well, why did you stay up all night? |
| Tim: 음… 그건요 더 나은 한국어 수업을 위해서 한국어 공부를 열심히 했어요. |
| Joshua: What! You were up all night studying Korean for better Korean lessons? |
| Tim: Umm… |
| Joshua: No way. I know you Tim well enough. 형, can you look me in the eye and tell me you are not lying? |
| Tim: 야! 눈 부릅뜨지 마. 무서워, 무서워. Okay, okay you want to hear the truth? |

| Tim: Okay here is the truth. 그래 거짓말이야. 밤새 영화 보고 오락하고 라면 먹고 그랬어. I stayed up all night long watching movies, playing games and eating noodles. 그래, 이제 속이 시원해? |

| Joshua: 괜찮아요. Phew... I am relieved. 형, 그럼 what’s the last word? |
| Tim: Okay. Name of the game plus 으로 정하다 to decide or to determine something by the outcome of the game. Let’s break the phrase down. 으로 is a preposition that indicates the meaning of way or method. It can be translated as by or through. |
| Joshua: And 정하다 is a verb meaning to decide or to determine or to make up one’s mind. |
| Tim: Yes. So altogether name of game plus 으로 정하다 means to decide something by the outcome of the game. Hmm here is an example sentence. 가위바위보로 술래를 정하자. |
| Joshua: Which means let’s pick who is it by playing rock, papers, scissors. That’s a good example. |
| Tim: Umm. |
| Joshua: Now let’s move on to the lesson focus. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Joshua: In this lesson, we will learn how to say the more you verb, the more you do something. |
| Tim: 네. 한국어로 ‘ㄹ(을) 할수록’입니다. |
| Joshua: The most frequently used expression would be |
| Tim: 하면 할수록 는다. |
| Joshua: Which means the more you do, the better you become. 형, can you tell us about the conjugation rules? |
| Tim: 예, 알겠습니다. The formation is verb stem plus ㄹ or 을수록. Rule #1, attach ㄹ수록 if the verb stem doesn’t end with a 받침. In other words, if it ends in a vowel. |
| Joshua: Rule #2, attach 을수록 if the verb stem ends with a 받침. In other words, if it ends in a consonant. 형, examples please. |
| Tim: Okay let’s start with rule #1 where you attach ㄹ수록. Let’s use the verb 하다 which means to do. 하 is the verb stem, then we add ㄹ수록 so it becomes 할수록 meaning |
| Joshua: The more you do. |
| Tim: Right. Here is an example sentence. 한국어 공부를 하면 할수록 한국어 실력이 향상될 거야. |
| Joshua: Which means the more you study Korean, the more you will improve. That’s very true. Okay next, an example for rule #2. How about with the verb to eat? |
| Tim: Okay 먹다 means to eat. 먹 is the verb stem. Then we add 을수록 so it becomes 먹을수록 meaning, |
| Joshua: The more I eat. |
| Tim: Right. Here is an example sentence. 팀 형, 간식 그만 먹어요. 간식을 먹을수록 살쪄요. |
| Joshua: Which means stop eating snacks, Tim. The more you eat snacks, the more you’ll gain weight. Actually Tim doesn’t eat snacks that often. |
| Tim: 맞아요. 맞아 맞아. |
| Joshua: 형, let’s make one more example. |
| Tim: Okay. |
| Joshua: What about the verb to see or to watch? |
| Tim: 보다 means to see or to watch. 보 is the verb stem, then we add ㄹ수록 so it becomes 볼수록 meaning |
| Joshua: The more I see. |
| Tim: Yes. Here is an example sentence. 조슈아는 보면 볼수록 마음에 안 들어. |
| Joshua: Which means the more I see Joshua, the more I don’t like him. 에이, 형... That’s not true. |
| Tim: 그럼 사실이 뭐예요? Tell me the truth. |
| Joshua: The more people get to know me, people will find me cuter, funnier and see what a good person I am. |
| Tim: 뭐라고라고라? 알면 알수록 귀엽고 재밌고 괜찮은 사람이라고요? 조슈아, 너 자꾸 거짓말 하면은 피노키오처럼 코가 길어질 거야. |
| Joshua: What! Like a Pinocchio? No it’s never going to happen to me. |
| Tim: 오, 조슈아! 코 봐, 코 봐, 늘어난다. |
| Joshua: Ah no, no, no way! |
| Tim: Okay, that’s all for today’s lesson. |
