Speech-level and title notes
Urgent banmal is full of short commands: 가지 마 (don't go), 들어 (listen), 믿어 (trust me). Each is just the verb stem + -어/-아, or -지 마 for "don't".
In 반대하시잖아, she still uses honorific -시- for his mother inside a banmal sentence. Respect for the person talked about stays even when the speakers are casual with each other.
-잖아 means "you know" / "as you're aware": it reminds the listener of something they already know, often as an objection.
