How the word "서적상" is translated into English
할아버지는 평생 헌책방을 운영하신 서적상이셨어요.
[halapʌt͡ɕinɯn pʰjʌŋsɛŋ hʌnt͡ɕʰɛkp͈aŋɯl unjʌŋhasin sʌt͡ɕʌks͈aŋisjʌs͈ʌjo.]
My grandfather was a bookseller who ran a used bookstore his whole life.
요즘은 대형 온라인 서점 때문에 작은 서적상이 살아남기 어렵대요.
[jot͡ɕɯmɯn tɛjʌŋ ollain sʌt͡ɕʌm t͈ɛmune t͡ɕakɯn sʌt͡ɕʌks͈aŋi salanamki ʌljʌpt͈ɛjo.]
I heard that these days it's hard for small booksellers to survive because of large online bookstores.
그 고서는 인사동의 한 서적상에게서 어렵게 구했어요.
[kɯ kosʌnɯn insatoŋɰi han sʌt͡ɕʌks͈aŋekesʌ ʌljʌpk͈e kuɛs͈ʌjo.]
I had a hard time getting that old book, but I finally got it from a bookseller in Insadong.
