수다 타임: 내가 나이 들었다고 느낄 때 (When do you feel old?) - Korean Listening Practice (한국어 자막)

Hello everyone it's me again Are you enjoying the chat time If so don't forget to subscribe and give a like This week's topic is about when I feel I'm getting older I've already heard this conversation before I've also been over 30 so I've had those moments plenty of times Shall we take a look at what conversation we had We've lived quite a long life haven't we Yes we have By the way Kyung-eun and I are the same age and were born in the same year Kim Kyung was born about three months earlier right Yes that's correct To put it precisely After living for about 40 years it just feels so strange Why It just sounds odd to say "after living for about 40 years " I've been alive for about 40 years haven't I Yes So I've lived about half my life already So we can safely say that while it's not exactly young it's certainly sufficient Yes It's a somewhat ambiguous period but when you get that old you' re talking about people in their 50s and 60s who are even older You're still young aren't you I'm still young so I'm in my 30s 20s Oh ma'am I was going to say sir That's right But age seems to be relative But even so sometimes I feel like this is why I'm starting to think I'm getting old Sometimes you feel that way don't you I think I've been having those thoughts every single day lately Just every single day Around the clock Oh not 24 hours For example when filming like this with the camera my face looks completely different Oh I'm different from how I looked ten years ago When comparing myself to old videos I often feel like I've changed so much My body seems to be recovering a bit slowly That's definitely true Isn't it Yes When my finger gets slightly injured and bleeds the pain from the tumor seems to have slowed down dramatically Yes yes Recovery's the same—really we don't get hurt every single day do we Yes that's right So even just going about daily life feels noticeably more tiring and in my case I make it a point to exercise every day It takes me longer to stretch now I don’t feel ready to start warming up until I’m fully warmed up It used to take just three or four minutes but now it's really twenty I never really thought I was getting old but now that I'm about thirty-nine my body just hurts too much I started getting sick almost every other week it felt like way too often That's probably when I began slowly and gradually starting to exercise Yes yes Because it hurts or because your health is deteriorating starting to exercise is also a way to cope That's proof of getting older But there are also many good things about it Oh of course Yes back when I was in my twenties there were times when despite not wanting to meet certain people I had no choice but to do so These days such situations hardly ever happen anymore since everyone's essentially grown up by now so among the people I want to meet and the ones I actually do meet People you don't want to see you can avoid it seems like you mostly just spend time with those you actually want to see If you asked me whether I'd want to go back to my twenties I'd say no—I prefer the present more Having gone through my twenties thoroughly I know Yes that's right But actually there was a moment recently when I truly felt how much older I’ve gotten Oh when was that You know back in Korea if you walk down the street these days you still see those soldier gentlemen everywhere You see soldiers around all the time—there are plenty of them on leave Back in my thirties early on that’s when I first thought wow I’m getting old There came a time when soldiers began to seem less like soldier uncles and more like young students Ah baby Back in the day he was a soldier but there was a time when I thought of him this way So back then in my early thirties I remember thinking oh I'm getting old But recently now that I've turned early forties I was sitting alone at a restaurant in Hapjeong You know those office workers who just look unmistakably like middle-aged men no matter who's watching Three office workers sat right in front of me chatting away like that Anyone could see he was acting just like an old man But what really hits me is how much younger they are than me Oh well just listening in on the conversation Yes just by looking at the conversation or rather at facial expressions and such My outfit is kind of the old-fashioned gentleman style I used to imagine back then He had that typical office worker look but I could tell everyone's faces seemed younger than mine That's right I was thinking he might be in his mid-thirties but then I realized he actually seemed younger than me You can definitely feel it Whenever I sign up for places like shopping malls in a similar sense New places keep popping up all the time When that happens there are always some that ask for your age Yes exactly yes When was it Anyway it happened not long ago—when I first turned 40 last year When they told me to pick an age group Did they really say to choose an age group Well that did happen It was probably created to calculate an algorithm for offering certain recommendations When choosing someone in their 40s are you saying there were only people in their 60s and older even 60s There were people 1 2 3 4 5—nothing in their 70s or 80s Teens twenties thirties forties fifties sixties and older It felt a bit strange choosing something fairly low down there But overall you just need to keep maintaining your health by exercising and not drinking too much alcohol You don't have to drink as much as Kyung-eun does No no that's not it I'm still feeling more good things than not though every now and then I think wow if I live to be eighty Half my life’s already passed Only half left now That’s right There are times like that But now what can you do it's the century of 100 years old Oh well then at least… There's still some time left About ten years or so Oh so there's still 60 years left then Hmm yes Yes yes We've already reached 40% Yes when we reach fifty we've lived exactly half a century Do people say things like that a lot these days Half a century old Around fifty or fifty-five things like that Exactly Talking about numbers that once held more significance roughly half of what they used to Yes yes Fifty-five isn' t old at all we're still young we're heading toward a hundred and fifty Something feels increasingly sad so should we wrap this up I understand I was talking about how I sometimes feel old but thankfully it doesn 't happen very often Yes I'm curious to know what you all think as well We'll be back next time with a different topic Yes see you next time Goodbye
