Hello! Welcome to the Slow Korean Podcast for Beginners. I'm Mina!
Hello! I'm Jiho. So glad to see you all again today!
Jiho, what do you usually do on the weekends?
I often visit my friends' houses. When I go to a friend's house, it's really fun.
That's right. When you visit a friend's house, there are often cute cats or dogs, right?
Yes! When the door opens and they wag their tails, I feel so happy!
That's true. But when you meet them for the first time, you need to be careful.
I get so excited that I want to hug them right away! Haha.
You shouldn't! Animals can also feel scared when they see someone new.
Ah, that makes sense! I should ask the owner first.
Exactly. So today, we prepared expressions to use when meeting a friend's pet.
Wow, I'm looking forward to it! What expressions are we learning today?
The first expression is "만져봐도 돼요?", used when approaching to pet.
When asking if the animal is gentle, we ask "순해요?".
And when asking the name, we say "이름이 뭐예요?".
When you want to know the age, you ask "몇 살이에요?".
When you see its cute look, you say "너무 귀여워요".
Before giving a treat, we ask "간식 줘도 돼요?".
Right. Knowing just these six, you can greet them kindly.
They are really easy and essential expressions!
Then, shall we listen to Jiho's story from last weekend?
Yes! My story of visiting a friend's house, I'll start right now!
It was last Saturday afternoon. I went over to my friend Minsu's house.
You visited a friend's house! The weather was nice too, right?
Yes! The warm sunshine made me feel great. I went to the door and rang the bell.
When you ring the bell and wait, it's so exciting to see when the door opens!
Yes. The door opened. But suddenly, a golden dog came running out!
Oh! A dog ran to the entryway! You must have been startled.
Yes! It held a toy in its mouth and wagged its tail. I took a step back.
If they come running suddenly, it's welcoming but can be surprising!
Yes, it was a large, fluffy golden retriever. Minsu smiled and held the dog.
Even if a big dog is gentle, you have to be careful when meeting for the first time.
I first asked Minsu, "만져봐도 돼요?".
That's right! No matter how cute, asking first is the most important.
Yes. Right after that, I carefully asked, "순해요?".
When the owner explains the temperament, you can greet them with peace of mind!
Minsu smiled and said it's very gentle and loves people.
What a relief that it's a gentle dog who loves people!
Minsu told me to make a fist and let it smell. I extended my hand.
The dog smelled Jiho's hand!
Yes, it sniffed and licked my hand. Stroking its back, I asked, "이름이 뭐예요?".
I'm really curious about the dog's name!
Minsu said it was Bori. So I asked, "몇 살이에요?".
The name Bori matches its golden fur so well!
Bori was three years old! Looking with kind eyes, it was truly lovable.
That must have been such a lovely moment!
Yes. Bori lay at my feet, so I said out loud, "너무 귀여워요".
Bori must have felt great too!
When we sat on the sofa, Minsu brought out the dog treat jar.
Oh, a chance to give Bori a treat!
Yes. But I first asked, "간식 줘도 돼요?".
That's great manners! Because if pets eat the wrong thing, they could get sick.
Right. He said I could give one, so I put it on my palm and gave it.
If you give it on a flat open palm, you can feed safely without getting hurt!
Yes! It sat politely, ate the treat, and rested its chin on my knee.
Wow, Bori completely likes Jiho now! Haha.
Yes! Drinking tea with Minsu and Bori, I had a fun time.
Hearing the story, I clearly understand how to befriend animals.
Right. Now, shall we look closely at the expressions from the story?
Sounds great! Let's talk together about what situations to use them in!
The first expression is "만져봐도 돼요?".
'만지다' means touching with hands or stroking.
Right. You can say '-아도 돼요', and you can also say '-어도 돼요'. Both are used to ask for permission.
So you are politely asking the other person, "만져봐도 돼요?".
When seeing a cute animal or visiting a friend's house, you should say it first.
If you touch without permission, the animal might get startled and hurt.
Right. So always ask "만져봐도 돼요?" first.
The second expression is "순해요?".
'순하다' means the personality is kind and gentle.
When you want to know if it doesn't bite or bark, you ask "순해요?".
Right. When the animal is a bit large and you're worried, it helps a lot.
You can ask the owner "순해요?" and approach after feeling reassured.
The third expression is "이름이 뭐예요?".
When you want to get close with a friend's pet, you should know its name.
Right. If you ask "이름이 뭐예요?", your friend will happily tell you.
Knowing the name lets you call out "Hi, Bori!", which is so nice.
The fourth expression is "몇 살이에요?".
It is a very basic expression used when asking age.
Right. '몇' asks for a number, and '살' is the counting unit for age.
You can hear answers with simple numbers like one year old or two years old.
The fifth expression is "너무 귀여워요".
'너무' means really, and '귀여워요' means pretty and cute.
Saying "너무 귀여워요" to a pet makes your friend feel happy too.
Seeing a lovely look, it's a great expression to share your feelings.
The final sixth expression is "간식 줘도 돼요?".
'간식' is tasty food eaten between meals.
Right. When wanting to give food to a pet, you must check first.
Because giving human food could be bad for the animal's body.
Right. Also, each animal has foods they cannot eat.
So always ask "간식 줘도 돼요?" and give only safe treats.
Thanks to Jiho's explanation, we understood all six expressions well.
Haha, thank you! Now shall we practice these expressions with a quiz?
Great! When I give questions, please answer with the right expression!
First quiz. There's a cat on the sofa at a friend's house. What do you ask before petting?
Carefully, you ask "만져봐도 돼요?"!
Correct! Asking "만져봐도 돼요?" before approaching comes first.
Yes. Approaching after getting permission keeps the cat comfortable too.
Second quiz. You want to know if a friend's dog is gentle and doesn't bite. What do you ask?
Wanting to know if the dog is calm, you ask "순해요?"!
Perfect! Asking "순해요?" lets you approach safely.
When the owner says it's gentle, you can greet comfortably.
Third quiz. You want to know the name of your friend's dog. What do you ask?
Wanting to know its name, you ask "이름이 뭐예요?"!
Correct! Asking "이름이 뭐예요?" helps you get closer.
Calling its name while making eye contact, the animal likes it too.
Fourth quiz. You are curious about the dog's age. What do you ask?
When wanting to know the age, you ask "몇 살이에요?"!
Exactly! Asking "몇 살이에요?", your friend will kindly tell you.
You can hear answers like "It's two years old" or "It's three years old".
Fifth quiz. The dog acts cute. When complimenting it, what do you say?
Because it's truly lovely, you smile and say "너무 귀여워요"!
Wonderful! Saying "너무 귀여워요", your friend smiles brightly too.
Hearing the compliment, the dog wags its tail and gets so happy!
Sixth quiz. You want to give a treat to the dog. What do you ask?
Because it could be unsafe, you definitely ask "간식 줘도 돼요?"!
One hundred points! You answered all six situational quizzes perfectly!
Wow, practicing with quizzes makes me feel ready to use them right away!
Right. Then shall we review today's expressions one last time?
Yes! Let's organize the six expressions in our heads!

The fur was so fluffy that I thought it was a dog. Haha.
