a : 토니 씨, 젓가락을 아주 자연스럽게 사용하시네요. b : 그래요? 감사합니다. 하지만 처음에는 아주 서툴렀어요. b : 하하, 특별히 연습을 했다기보다는 한 국에서 오래 살다 보니까 익숙해졌어요.       (laughs) i didn’t really practice. living in korea for a while has made me accustomed to it.       i see. i think you’re better at it than i am. the ending of an action verb to note that the action has been going on for a while now and therefore, certain consequences have occurred due a : 네, 장마철은 여름에 특히 비가 많이 내리는 기간을 말해요.      yes. it’s when it rains a lot during the summer.      보 통 6월 중순부터 시작돼요.       i couldn’t call her because her phone was turned off. a : 여자친구한테 갑자기 문제가 생겼나보군요. 조금만 기다려보세요.      maybe your gi*lfriend had an emergency. wait for her to call you. cases such as when someone doesn’t show up for an engagement. you can use it in sentences as in “친구에게 바람맞고 그렇지 않아도 오늘 저녁에 보려던 참이에요.      i see. by the way, did you see the movie that i recommended? for example, imagine that you were just about to eat dinner and your friend asks you when you planned to eat. you would then say, b : 아니요, 기름값도 절약할 수 있고 환경을 위해서도 좋고. 이것이 바로 일석이조가      no. i can save gas money and it’s good for the environment too. it kills two birds with one stone!      you’re right. there are more good points to it than bad. expressions. it is quite useful to know chinese expressions to use them in real conversations. 돌다리도 두드려 보고 건너라는 말도 있잖아요.. there is a saying in korea that goes, “one should even knock on a stone bridge before crossing (just in case it falls).”.
