After lunch, I always stop by a cafe and buy a cup of coffee to start my afternoon.
It's a painful scene of an office worker having to suppress the afternoon fatigue with caffeine.
At that moment, when I see cats peacefully napping under the warm spring sun, I often have a silly thought that I want to be born as you in my next life and have a good nap.
Here, it can be replaced with 'dasarope' which means 'there is a little bit of warmth', 'tasarope' which gives a stronger feeling, or 'tasahada' or 'tasahada' which means 'slightly warm'.
Cats are napping under the warm, gentle spring sun! How envious!

It's always satisfying to meet people who can relate to each other's stories and enjoy sharing them.
The road back from parting with them is not empty or lonely.
There is a word that can be used when you feel happy and satisfied.
It is 'happy'.
Just reading these words will make you feel generous and bring a smile to your face.
It could be rewritten as 'The journey back from spending time with like-minded people is always pleasant.'

You can use '유예하다' when you are somewhat hesitant about doing something or when you postpone a set date or time.
It is used in phrases such as, 'It is not a matter that can be judged hastily, so it would be better to postpone the decision for a while' or 'The company was in bad shape, so it had to postpone debt repayment.'
'Suspension' is also used when setting aside a certain period of time to file a lawsuit or to make a lawsuit effective, and can be used in the same way as 'suspend prosecution, sentencing, or execution.'

Shame, unfortunately, does not seem to enjoy the blessing of human oblivion.
Memories I wanted to forget invade me without warning, vividly restoring the shameful shame I felt back then.
The shame that has not been washed away yet passes over me again, and only after making me feel embarrassed, does it make me turn away.
'Shameful', meaning 'embarrassing or shy' or 'shameful or embarrassed'.
What could replace this?

The more complex and difficult something is, the more it needs to be examined thoroughly.
At this time, the word 'sukchalhada', which means to look at something in detail, would be appropriate.
The feeling of 'to examine' is much more intense than that of 'to examine'.
You could write something like, 'This movie gives us a chance to seriously contemplate the meaning of life.'

--- p.145

Rejection is always difficult.
If I refuse gently, I feel like I'll be giving the other person some room to maneuver, but if I reject them outright, I feel bad.
In the above sentence, the rejection was made outright in a cold tone.
Let's use 'cold' at this time.
'Cold' means 'indifferent and cold in attitude or character', so it can be written as 'He rejected my request outright with a cold tone of voice'.

--- p.177

As the cheerful conversation that had continued all evening vanished into thin air like soap bubbles, we turned away, saying goodbye and promising to see each other again soon.
The feelings I wanted to pour out lingered in my mouth and eventually withdrew, and when the time of lingering between the outside and the inside ended, loneliness washed over me as if it were a curse.
'Ssollonhada' expresses a lonely and desolate feeling.

This sentence was probably intended for the company's executives to address their employees.
Here, 'as you know' can be understood as 'as if all members of this company know'.
That is, many people know it well.
Here, it can be used instead of 'know', which means 'to be known by many people'.
You can write something like, 'As you know, the company is having a hard time due to the ongoing economic downturn.'

--- p.192

People often say, 'The weather is gloomy.'
I would have chosen the word 'gloomy' to describe a very gloomy day.
However, since '꾸무꾸물하다' is a verb that expresses moving very slowly, '날이 꾸무물하다' is incorrect.
When you want to say that the weather is cloudy and dark, you should use 'keumkeumulhada'.
'Kkeumulkeumulhada' is used to mean 'the sky is not clear and it is very cloudy' or 'the lights are not bright and it is very gloomy'.

--- p.203

I love the laughter of children.
I like that face, with its face squinted and its eyes shaped like crescent moons.
I can't believe how beautiful someone can be with such a crumpled face.
There is a word that expresses children's laughter well.
It's 'deadly'.
When I see 'haejukhada', which means to smile cutely as if satisfied, I think of a child running towards his mother with crescent moon eyes from afar.

--- p.218

Silence allows marginalized supporting voices to shine.
The moment they become the main characters, only then can we fully capture the moments that we could not capture with our eyes.
'Quiet' means 'quiet and without any sound'.

What word would it be if we added a deeper sense of emptiness to "허전하다" (emptiness)? It would probably be "휘영하다" (whiyeonghada).
'Hwiyeonghada' means that the mind is empty and feels uncontrollably empty.
The emptiness of facing the dusky dawn alone seems to be completely captured in these words.
This sentence can be rewritten as 'The dawn I greet alone in an empty house is truly splendid.'

--- p.263

How many times do we say that we are having a hard time throughout the day?
'It's hard' may be the word that is displayed at the very front of my subconscious.
Is there a shorter word that allows thoughts to come out as words?
'Hard' means 'there is an aspect of effort', 'there is an aspect of effort or hardship'.
What are some words that can be used interchangeably with the word 'hard', which I blurt out without realizing it?
