Significado
To politely pose an inquiry to someone.
Contexto cultural
In Korean corporate culture, asking a question directly can sometimes be seen as challenging authority. Using '{질문|質問}을 드리다' softens this impact. Students are expected to use this phrase with professors to maintain 'Che-myeon' (face). It shows the student acknowledges the professor's expertise. Civil servants and citizens use this phrase to maintain a professional and respectful distance during official business. News anchors and interviewers almost exclusively use this phrase when questioning guests to remain objective and polite.
The 'One Question' Rule
Always add '하나' (one) or '한 가지' (one kind) before the phrase to sound even more polite and less burdensome.
Avoid Self-Honorifics
Never say '제가 {질문|質問}을 받으셨습니다' (I received a question - honorific). Only use honorifics for others.
