Think about slang from your teenage years. Do younger people today understand it? How does that make you feel?

여러분이 10대 시절에 쓰던 슬랭을 떠올려 보세요. 요즘 더 어린 세대도 그 표현을 이해할까요? 그것을 생각했을 때 어떤 기분이 드시나요?

Do you think it’s important for adults or non-native speakers to understand new slang, even if they don’t use it themselves? Why or why not?

어른이나 비원어민이 새로운 슬랭을 직접 쓰지는 않더라도 이해하는 것이 중요하다고 생각하시나요? 그 이유는 무엇인가요?

Q10

How should adults respond when they encounter slang they don’t understand—ignore it, ask about it, or simply accept it?

어른들은 이해하지 못하는 슬랭을 접했을 때 어떻게 반응하는 것이 좋을까요? 그냥 넘기기, 물어보기, 아니면 자연스럽게 받아들이기 중 어떤 선택이 좋다고 생각하시나요?
