Conversation:

너 내일 인턴 사원 면접이 있다고 했지?
You said you have an intern interview tomorrow, right?

응. 안 그래도 내일 면접 볼 때 뭐 입을지 생각 중이었어.
Yes. Actually, I was thinking about what to wear for the interview tomorrow.

취직하면 입는다고 새로 산 정장 있잖아. 그거 입으면 되지.
You have the new suit you bought saying that you will wear it when you get a job. You can wear that one.

그게 좋겠다. 근데 도대체 내 넥타이는 어디 있지?
That would be great. But where the hell is my tie?

진짜 덜렁거리는 성격은 알아줘야 된다니까. 지난번에 세탁소에 맡겼잖아.
You are a scatty person. You left it at the cleaner's last time.

맞다, 그럼 미안한데 네 넥타이 좀 빌려 줄래?
Oh, that's right. well, I'm sorry but could you lend me your tie?

알겠어. 정장이 갈색이니까 파란색 계열 넥타이가 어울리겠다. 자, 이거 해.
Okay. Since the suit is brown, the blue-color-type tie will look good on you. Here, go for this.

고마워, 깨끗하게 쓰고 돌려줄게.
Thank you, I will use it clean and return it.
