Expression
나쁘지 않아. 괜찮아. = It's not bad.
Learning Tips
'not bad'(=나쁘지 않아) 라는 표현은 사실 거의 'good' 이라는 뜻이에요. 그럭저럭이란 의미가 아니죠.
"It was not bad at all. Actually, it was lovely."(=전혀 나쁘지 않았어요. 실은 아주 괜찮았죠.)
뭔가 간단한 이유(또는 핑계거리)를 댈 때, "It's just because ~."(=그건 그냥 ~ 이래서 그래.) 라는 표현을 많이 사용합니다.
'간식, 과자'는 'snack' 인데요, 우리나라에서 먹는 바삭바삭 과자를 포함한, 간단한 한 입 거리 빵(샌드위치)까지 포함하는 식간에 먹는 간식 모두를 포함하는 넓은 개념이에요.
Episode
Episode 20. Cooking Dinner
I love to cook all kinds of food.
So we made a rule for house keeping.
The kitchen is for Penguin, and the bathroom is for Mev.
I carefully choose what to eat for dinner every day.
"Wow, it's really good! I'll give it two thumbs up!"
Most of the dishes that Penguin made were successful. But not always. Sometimes, Mev says, "It's not bad... it's just because I had some snack before dinner."
