New words

 

[background] 내가 어제 매운 떡볶이를 먹고! 오전 내내 화장실에서 살아버림 ㅎ_ㅎ 그거에 관한 주제로 재미난 얘기를 나눔

 

decompose: (with reference to a dead body or other organic matter) make or become rotten; decay or cause to decay.

• Seafood starts to decompose immediately after dying, so it is a lot more time sensitive than other meats.
• Food easily decomposes when it is placed in a warm area, like during summer, accelerating mold growth.

sketchy: dishonest or disreputable.; something you should question or be careful / cautious about

• When you eat street food, seafood is typically sketchy, so you want to avoid eating it.
• Oh this street is empty. nobody is here. so sketchy. Let's go another way. 

ordeal: a painful or horrific experience, especially a protracted one.

• After my bathroom ordeal, I have a Zoom meeting for two and a half hours.
• The customer was holding on to the phone all day, criticizing every single point of the product. It was an ordeal.
  
  • hold on to the phone: 전화를 계속 붙들고 있는거
  • keep me on the phone: 전화를 계속 거는 거

A: I ate a spicy food yesterday. so I had to live in the bathroom in this morning

B: oh which end? this end or the other end?

• In this context, "end" refers humorously to which part of the body was primarily affected by the spicy food, implying whether the person was vomiting ("this end" meaning the mouth) or experiencing diarrhea ("the other end" meaning the rectum). The question is a playful way of asking about the nature of the discomfort caused by the spicy food.

 

 

[background] 나의 advisor가 너무 똑똑하다. 다른 사람이 못하는 거 이해잘 못할 거 같다.

 

meet in the middle: compromise

• We had met in the middle by the end of the meeting.
• Our personalities were so different that we used to fight every day, but we ended up meeting in the middle.

track record: the past achievements or performance of a person, organization, or product.

• He has a very good track record for piano, so it is no surprise he got a music scholarship.
• Maintaining a decent track record requires great effort. It is not taken for granted.

 

imposter syndrome

• I think I don't fit in this area; everyone is so smart. Is this imposter syndrome?
• “Any day now, they’re going to realize what a mistake they made in hiring me. I bet they’re already wondering.” If this sounds like your inner monologue, you're likely experiencing imposter syndrome.

Grammar error

reflected on

I reflected on my behavior during the meeting.

 

When I was younger than now, I had like I did not enjoy seafood, but after I started after I start have a relationship with my boyfriend, he love seafood, so he always want to go to seafood restaurant for a date. At the beginning, I did not like that , but I loved him so much, so I tried to enjoy that meal, so after that, I ended up enjoying seafood now, so I think that why I get sick easily these days.

When I was younger, I didn't enjoy seafood, but once I started dating my boyfriend, we had many dates at seafood restaurants because he loves seafood.

At first, I still didn't like seafood, but I put up with it because I loved him, but now I enjoy seafood, which is why I think I get sick more easily these days.

 

We already discuss how we order our papers, but suddenly in the meeting with out advisor, he talk different things. It didn't make sense anything. So this situation like happen often before, so I couldn't control my anger, but like my English block me from having smooth conversation

We had already discussed the order of our paper, but during the meeting with our advisor, he suddenly started talking about different things that didn't make any sense.

This situation had happened before time, so I lost control of my anger, but my lack of English prevented me (blocked me) from clearly expressing my anger.
