Hi Colin,

Thanks for your feedback.

하마터면 means "almost, nearly."

When Koreans say 그 사람은 총대를 잘못 메서 회사에서 해고되었다. it actually means "The man took the wrong responsibility, so he has been fired." He got fired not because he was unable to take on his responsibilities properly but because he took the lead position.

We'll let you know when the pdf is updated.

감사합니다.

Page 8 of PDF notes:

Keep it mind using it to someone close.

This should be written as "Keep THIS/IT in mind when using it WITH/ON someone else."

Page 7 of PDF notes:

총대를 미다, which literally means

"to tie the gunstock," it also means "to take responsibility."

It should be 총대를 메다.

Translation mistake on page 6:

사격장에서 친구의 실수때문에 하마터면 머

리에 총 맞을 뻔했다.

sagyeokjangeseo chinguui silsuttaemune

hamateomyeon meorie chong majeul ppeon

haetda.

"At the range, I could've got a gunshot

because of my friend's mistake."

It should be "At the range, I nearly got shot in the head because of my friend's mistake."

Also, 하마터면 is not translated. what does it mean?

Page 5 of PDF:

This translation into English is incorrect:

"The man took the wrong responsibility, so

he has been fired."

It should be "The man was unable to take on his responsibilities properly, so he has been fired."

Last line: 의견 "opinion/thoughts" is not used in the english translation.

The translation for 머리에 총 밭다 is incorrect:

It says: to be out of mind, to be crazy

to be out of mind = to forget/to not be conscientious of

it should be: to be out of ONE's mind (to be crazy)

page 4 of PDF:

"... and ask the director give more time." should be fixed as "...and ask the director TO give more time."

이 기회에 능력도 인정 받고. - this would be more accurately translated as: "This is an opportunity/chance for your abilities to be recognized.

First line:

신제품 is not given in the English translation. And 다음에 당장 should not translate into "by next week". It should be somewhere along the lines of "It might be impossible to come up with a new product immediately (for the next round) next time."

Site translation and page 4 of script:

옆 회사에 크게 물 먹었으니, 이제 어떻게 하죠? 다음 주에 당장 신제

품 아이디어 내기엔 무리인데.. 프리젠테이션은 또 누가 하구요?

We've been failed by another company (We've got a big bottle of

water), so what should we do? It might be impossible to come up

with a new idea by next week. Who'll be doing the presentation?

This translation is incorrect and is quite frankly shocking that it was made by content developers here. I can understand how Koreans think along Korean grammatical lines, but if you say "we've been failed by another company" it means that that company failed to do what the speaker's company asked that company to do for them.

What is intended to be said here is: "Another company has caused us to fail." Or "We have been beat by another company."

For example:

"You have failed me" = "You failed to do what I asked, and I am disappointed."

"Your company failed us on the bid." - "Because your company put together a poor bid for the RFP/tender, we failed to win the contract."

"Your company beat us on the bid." - "Because your company put together a much better proposal for the RFP/tender, we failed to win the contract."

This is the same as the common mistake by Koreans to say "Team A won Team B" rather than "Team A defeated/beat Team B".

Please advise WHEN the PDF is updated so I can download a new one.

안녕하세요 린지씨 ^^

Thank you for your comment and I am assuming you might speak Spanish or French!:)

Korean does not have female or male separate words.

It is true that that kinds of expressions may sound masculine but basically all the words are neutral and you could use it to explain in certain situation without worries on feeling masculine!:)

Thank you

아이 편집 다 읽어야 지 클릭하기전에 :shock:

마지막엔 이해할 수 있으니까 좋지만 쓰기 저네 확인하려고요~~~~:smile:

Is it okay for girls to use these kinds of gun expressions too? They seem a little masculine~~

Thanks~

질문 하나 있는데요~

이런 표현들이 듣기에 약간 남성스러운 것 같아요.

여자들도 이런 표현 써도 되는 거예요?

당연히 이해할 수 있으니까 쓰기 전에 확인한는 게 좋을 것 같았어요.

감사합니다

Hi Teri,

Teri님,

아이 낳은 후에 몸조리 잘 하셨어요?

먼저 Teri님 건강 살핀 후에 직장 알아보시는게 좋을것 같아요.

아이를 낳은 후 제가 직장에 시간 좀 내고 총대를 메야 도ㅔ겠죠.

마리아씨

총대를 매다라는 표현은 맞답니다 ^^

1) 네 옆은 another, the other로 번역할 수 있어요! 물론 side도 맞구요!

2) 내기엔이랑 내기는, 둘다 차이가 없어요. 다만 구어체로 쓰는 방법중의 하나일 뿐이에요. 의미상의 큰 차이는 없답니다 ^^

'총대를 메다'란 표현이 맞죠? 저는 이 코멘트 때문에 좀 헷갈렸어요.

그리고 질문도 몇개 있어요 :smile:

1) '옆 회사에 크게 물 먹었으니...', '부장님 성격에 옆 부서 부장님처럼...'

이 문장에서 쓰는 '옆'은 'another, the other'로 번역할 수 있죠? 원래 '옆'은 'side'라는 뜻인 걸 배웠어요.

2) '...아이디어 내기엔 (= 내기에는?) 무리인데...', '아이디어 내기는 조금 무리긴 하지.'

'내기엔'이랑 '내기는' 차이가 뭐에요? 그리고 '...기에'란 표현을 어떻게 사용할까요?

감사합니다 :smile:
