상황에 맞는 행동을 기대할 때? 설명할 때 쓰이는 표현들

이런 상황에서는 이렇게 한다 <-- 같은 느낌


When you visit someone, it's the custom to bring a small gift.

                             you aren't supposed to arrive early.


If you want to bring someone, you're expected to call first and ask.

you're supposed to check with the host.

it's not acceptable arrive without calling first.



여기서 제일 중요한 표현이 바로 


be supposed to something.


3가지 뜻이 있는데,


1) duty. 위의 예문들이 바로 이 경우이다. should, have to 와 비슷


2) 어디선가 들은 이야기. it is said~~, someone said~~

 이디야 카페가 좋다고 하던데?

 Ediya is supposed to be good.


3) arranged, planned event. 

 내일은 상사가 출장을 가기로 되어있다.

 My boss is supposed to be on a business trip tomorrow.



- What is that supposed to mean?

방금 뭐라고했냐?? --> 누군가 빡치게 만들었을 때 강하게 되묻기



- I am supposed to train my intern.

- Nike is supposed to make a lot of nice shoes.

- Dad was supposed to buy me a toy as a Christmas present.
