Lucas: Perfect. an gae ga ja uk hae yo. Luna: 안개가 자욱해요. The air is so white. Lucas: Right. You cannot see far at all. Luna: If I look out my window, what do I say? Lucas: You can say: 보이지 않아요 bo i jih an a yo. Luna: bo i jih an a yo. Nothing is visible. Lucas: Exactly. It means 'it does not show' or 'I can't see'. Luna: bo i jih an a yo. My eyes are useless. Lucas: Your eyes are fine. The air is just too thick. Luna: 안개가 자욱해요. 보이지 않아요. Lucas: Great combo. Two important facts. Luna: Is it dangerous to go outside? Lucas: Yes. So we need to warn people.
