Small talks between the hosts
Kristen: I’m Kristen Cho.
Cameron: And I’m Cameron word.
Kristen: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Listen, let me ask you a question. Are you a big salad person? Yeah, I like– Do you like a nice salad?
Cameron: I like salads. I think as a guy, a big guy, I can’t eat just a salad.
Kristen: That’s right, you need your protein.
Cameron: Yeah, I need protein and I need… Honestly, I need a carb.
Kristen: You need carbs.
Cameron: So, when I go to a vegan restaurant, I really enjoy the food.
Kristen: Yeah.
Cameron: But I just…
Kristen: It’s not enough.
Cameron: It’s not enough.
Kristen: Now, if you are talking about vegetables, what is your preferred vegetable of choice?
Cameron: Favorite vegetable? Yeah. So my favorite vegetable ever.
Kristen: Ever?
Cameron: Is okra, which is, you don’t see it often here in Korea.
Kristen: That’s like used in Japanese food.
Cameron: Yeah, but it’s originally from Africa. Yeah, right. And it’s used in Southern American cuisine a lot. That’s right.
Kristen: Because the slaves brought it over. Right. Yeah.
Cameron: So that’s my favorite vegetable ever. But I like, I mean, I ate a lot of like paprika. I ate a lot of like bell peppers and stuff.
Kristen: OK. Okra is spelled O-KRA, right? Yeah, It’s got a very interesting consistency.
Cameron: You know what it tastes like? Oh, what does it taste like? And it kind of 아욱
Kristen: 아욱!
Cameron: It’s some kind of mallow, and the English word is mallow. But 아욱, if you eat 아욱 kind of raw, it tastes a lot like okra tastes like.
Kristen: Oh.
Cameron: So even here, I put, like, if I ever make, like, a 된장찌개, I always like to put 아욱 in it.
Kristen: Oh, you like that.

Cameron: You have, oh, onions. Always at the salad I have garlic.
Kristen: No garlic in salads. Okay. All right.
Power Expressions
The reason we’re talking about vegetables, everyone, is because we are growing microgreens as a side hustle. And so, I feel like microgreens came onto the stage not so long ago. Like, I don’t remember people eating microgreens in the 90s or 80s.
Cameron: We just called it sprout.
Kristen: We called it sprouts, right?
Cameron: Yeah.
Kristen: So this is part two. Okay. Here are some expressions that we’re going to cover. Depending on something.
Cameron: So the something determines the result.
Kristen: Okay.
Cameron: Like how this will decide the results.
Kristen: Okay. Bare necessities.
Cameron: Only the very essential things. The absolute minimum for what is necessary.
Kristen: Okay, how about if you cut down on something?
Cameron: You’re using less of it. You’re buying less of it. You’re eating less of it.
Kristen: Let’s go ahead and listen to our biz dialogue.
Power Dialog
Theresa: This is such a simple setup. I thought it would require more than shelves, lights, and plant trays.
Blake: Well, depending on how much you want to grow, you could add sprinklers and other stuff.
Theresa: So, these are just the bare necessities? Why not get the other things?
Blake: Since I’ve only been doing it for about a month, I’ve been trying to cut down on extra costs.
Theresa: That’s smart. Why spend extra money if you don’t know how well your business will do?
Blake: Exactly my thinking.
Kristen: Okay, here we go. Theresa says, this is such a simple setup. I thought it would require more than shelves, lights, and plant trays. So, Theresa is actually looking at the way the microgreens are, like how they’re farming the microgreens. So, she’s saying, oh, it’s a simple setup. And that is our power vocab.
Cameron: Right. So, a setup here as a noun is how something is designed and used, how all the parts are coming together. So, by saying it’s a simple setup, she’s saying that there are only a few pieces put together to make the system function.
Kristen: Okay, so it’s very simple.
Cameron: So, there aren’t a ton of things involved. You know, which when you hear the word microgreen, I think it’s going to be like a super complicated term.
Kristen: Right.
Cameron: You know like that hydroponic farming or whatever?
Kristen: Like on the walls.
Cameron: Yeah, they have water and lights and all that stuff.
Kristen: Well, I mean, Theresa says, you know, there are shelves, there are lights and plant trays. And she thought it was going to be really complicated, but it’s not. And Blake says, well, depending on how much you want to grow, you could add sprinklers and other stuff. Okay. So, you could add more things. And sprinklers are basically water sprinklers.
Cameron: Like the water misting thing.
Kristen: That’s right. You see at golf courses. Okay. So depending on how much you want to grow. So this is our expression, depending on.
Cameron: So depending on is saying this determines the outcome. This determines the choice. So you’re giving the condition after. The condition here is how much you want to grow. So, the amount you want to grow changes what you need to buy, what you need to use.
Kristen: Okay. All right. So, yeah. I mean, if you want to grow more, you’re going to have sprinklers. You can’t water it all by yourself. And Theresa says, so these are just the bare necessities. Why not get the other things? So, shelves, lights, plant trays are bare necessities. Okay. What are bare, B-A-R-E necessities?
Cameron: These are the absolute basic things that you must have and nothing else. No special things, no upgrades, no bonus items, only what you absolutely must have.
Kristen: Yeah. So, you could always have a little more. What are some bare necessities for camping?
Cameron: Bear necessities for camping? You need something somewhere warm to sleep.
Kristen: Right. A tent.
Cameron: Probably. Usually. Yeah. Or like a sleeping bag. A sleeping bag. Some people do like sleeping bags only.
Kristen: You do need a sleeping bag.
Cameron: It might be the only thing.
Kristen: And maybe like a portable stove.
Cameron: Maybe, I mean, but you don’t have to eat. Technically, you can go one day without eating.
Kristen: So if you do a couple of days, you would definitely need something like that. But then maybe you have-
Cameron: You would need water. Water. You would definitely need a source of water for sure.
Kristen: So those are, so bare necessities are the absolute essential items.
Cameron: Okay. If you do not have this, you can’t do what you want to do at all.
Kristen: Okay. And Theresa is saying, well, these are bare necessities. How about getting other stuff? And what does Blake say?
Cameron: Since I’ve only been doing it for about a month, I’ve been trying to cut down on extra costs.
Kristen: So Blake doesn’t want to spend too much money. He’s trying to cut down on extra costs. So, you could use the word reduce, but he uses the word cut down on. Is there a reason why? Or really, it doesn’t matter.
Cameron: I think here it doesn’t matter. I think that cut down on is more casual, more conversational (cut down on이 일상생활에서 더 사용). I’ve been trying to reduce extra costs. I don’t know if I would say that in an everyday conversation. Only if I were in like a business setting (reduce는 비즈니스 환경에서 사용).
Kristen: Yeah, yeah. We have to reduce our expenses.
Cameron: Cut down on costs.
Kristen: So to cut down on costs, to cut down on expenses, you know, anytime you use the word reduce, you can use it in that way. And Theresa says, that’s smart. Why spend extra money if you don’t know how well your business will do? Okay. Here is a question, but it’s an interesting question. Okay. Why if is the pattern? Okay.
Cameron: Yes.
Kristen: Why do something if you do something? What does this mean?
Cameron: So this here is a construction. It’s a sentence pattern used when you’re doing something and it doesn’t make sense.
Kristen: Mm-hmm.
Cameron: Because of another condition.
Kristen: Okay.
Cameron: So here, Theresa, you have to look at the backside first. You don’t know how well your business will do. So she’s saying that is your condition. It’s the beginning of your business. You don’t know how it’s going to be.
Kristen: All right.
Cameron: So it seems dumb to spend extra money. Those two don’t like for her, the logic it doesn’t make sense to why spend more.
Kristen: Yeah.
Cameron: When you don’t know how it works.
Kristen: Right.
Cameron: That seems like a dumb action to take.
Kristen: Yeah. So it’s not like, why are you doing this? Like, why? 왜 But she’s reasoning. Like, you’re listening to her reason. Like, why would you do that?
Cameron: Yeah, so here in Theresa’s specific way that she’s saying this, she is not, like you said, not asking for the reason, she’s just highlighting, Oh yeah, of course that would be dumb. But as we’ll see in the examples later, that’s not always the case of how this is used, but here it’s a question not looking for an answer.
Kristen: Okay, very good. Let’s go ahead and listen to that one more time.
Theresa: This is such a simple setup. I thought it would require more than shelves, lights, and plant trays.
Blake: Well, depending on how much you want to grow, you could add sprinklers and other stuff.
Theresa: So, these are just the bare necessities? Why not get the other things?
Blake: Since I’ve only been doing it for about a month, I’ve been trying to cut down on extra costs.
Theresa: That’s smart. Why spend extra money if you don’t know how well your business will do?
Blake: Exactly my thinking.
