Learn Korean: Asking For Help In An Emergency In Korean
Imagine you're lost in a bustling Korean market, your phone's dead, and you desperately need help. The first word you'll need is 'dowajuseyo', meaning 'help me'. Shouting 'Dowajuseyo!' will quickly grab someone's attention. Next, tell them you're lost by saying 'gireul ilheotseoyo'. So, you could say 'Dowajuseyo! Gireul ilheotseoyo!' meaning 'Help! I'm lost!' Perhaps you need the police. You can ask, 'Gyeongchal '-eotteoke gaya?' which means 'How do I get to the police?' Maybe you need a hospital. Similarly, you can ask, 'Byeongwon '-eotteoke gaya?' meaning 'How do I get to the hospital?'. Finally, don't forget to thank anyone who helps. A sincere 'gamsahamnida' goes a long way. Now you're prepared to handle a tricky situation, and hopefully, your next trip to Korea goes smoothly.
