son-eul deulda

Raise one's hand

معنی

To lift a hand, often to ask a question or vote.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In Korean schools, students are taught to raise their hands when crossing the street to be more visible to drivers. This is a literal use of '손을 들다' that every Korean child learns. The phrase '두 손 두 발 다 들다' (raising both hands and both feet) is a common hyperbolic variation used when someone is completely exhausted by another person's behavior. Historically, standing with hands raised was a common school punishment. This makes the gesture feel more submissive in Korea than in some Western cultures. In formal meetings, '거수 투표' (voting by show of hands) is still very common for non-secret ballots, emphasizing collective transparency.

💡

Casual dropping

In casual conversation, just say '손 들어' instead of '손을 들어' to sound more natural.

⚠️

Don't use for hitting

Be careful: '손을 올리다' can mean you are about to hit someone. Stick to '들다' for questions!
