갑자기 저도 궁금해져 물어 봤습니다. 콩글리시지만...



Me: how cay i say if i have my shoe string snaps...i want to say my shoestring 'status'.



Native Speaker: my shoelace broke



Me: oh...shoelace...



Native Speaker: yes, they're laces. thus, "lace up"



Me: what "lace up" means, anyway?



Native Speaker: for tying laces...although, that's usually used for stuff like boots/shoes for certain sportslike skating



Me: lace up = tying laces?



Native Speaker: yes. tying/pushing the laces through the holes

so, maybe if you go to a store to try on a shoe and it hasn't been laced yet

they will say something like "i'll lace it up"



참고하세요~
