Bedeutung
A polite request for someone to repeat what was said.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Korea, it is common to use '네?' (Yes?) with a rising tone as a shorthand for 'Pardon?'. It is polite and very natural. In a Korean office, asking '다시 말해주세요' might be seen as slightly too casual. It's better to use '다시 말씀해 주시겠습니까?' to show respect for the hierarchy. In texting, Koreans often use '뭐라고?' or just '뭐?' if they are friends. If they are being cute (Aegyo), they might write '다시 말해죠~' (changing '주세요' to '죠'). Korean students are often shy to ask for repetition. Teachers appreciate it when a student says '다시 말해주세요' because it shows active listening.
Add '죄송하지만'
Adding '죄송하지만' (I'm sorry but) before the phrase makes you sound much more fluent and polite.
Watch your intonation
If you say it with a flat or falling tone, it can sound like a command. Use a slightly rising, questioning tone.
