Learn Korean: Asking For Directions In Korean
Imagine you're lost in the vibrant streets of Seoul, searching for the best tteokbokki stall. Let's start with a polite way to get someone's attention: 'sillyehamnida', meaning 'excuse me'. You might say, "Sillyehamnida, could you help me?" Now, to ask 'where is', we use 'eodieyo'. For instance, "Eodieyo the nearest subway station?" To refer to something nearby, use 'i', meaning 'this'. You could point to a map and ask, "I geori eodieyo?" meaning, "Where is this street?" Let's learn 'meolliseo', which means 'far'. So you can ask, "Is it far from here?" which translates to, "Yeogiseo meolliseo?" Finally, 'bang-hyang' means direction. Therefore, you can ask, "Which direction is the Gyeongbokgung Palace?" – "Gyeongbokgung bang-hyangi eodieyo?" So next time you're exploring Korea, confidently ask for directions with these useful phrases and savor that delicious tteokbokki!
