Contexte culturel
Koreans use 'checking the schedule' as a polite way to avoid saying 'no' immediately. It's a social lubricant to maintain harmony. In Korean companies, shared calendars (like Google or Outlook) are strictly followed. '일정 확인' is often the first task of the morning. Younger Koreans use '스케줄' (schedule) more often than '일정' in casual speech, reflecting the influence of English. When visiting Korea, you will see '일정표' (itinerary) at every tourist information center. Checking this is vital for efficient travel.
The 'Soft No'
If you want to say 'no' to an invitation politely, always start with '일정을 확인해 볼게요'. It makes you look busy and respectful.
Don't forget the '을'
In written Korean, skipping the object marker '을' makes the phrase look incomplete. Always include it in emails.
