मतलब
A question to inquire about the floor number of a location.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Tetraphobia is real. Many buildings skip the 4th floor or label it 'F' because the number 4 sounds like 'death.' Basement floors are very active spaces. You'll find huge malls, food courts, and even subway stations in 'B1' or 'B2.' Apartment culture is dominant. Knowing someone's floor can sometimes be a subtle indicator of wealth, as higher floors in luxury buildings are more expensive. Elevator etiquette: If you are closest to the buttons, it is expected that you help others by asking '몇 층 가세요?'
Use '가세요'
In an elevator, '몇 층 가세요?' (Which floor are you going to?) is much more natural than just '몇 층이에요?'
Watch the 'F'
Don't look for a '4' button in many Korean elevators; look for 'F' instead.

Basement B1
Koreans say '지하 1층' (Ji-ha il-cheung) or just 'B1'. It's a very common destination.
Sino-Korean Numbers
Always use Sino-Korean numbers (일, 이, 삼...) with '층.' Never use native Korean numbers (하나, 둘, 셋...).

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालYes, that is the very formal version, perfect for business or speaking to elders.
You say '지하 2층' (Ji-ha i-cheung).
No, '몇' and '층' are separate words, so there should be a space, though it's often omitted in texting.
Then you wouldn't really ask this, but you could say '단층 건물이에요' (It's a single-story building).
Ask '옥상이 몇 층이에요?' (What floor is the rooftop on?)
This is an honorific form that treats the person with respect by attaching the honorific '시' to the copula.
Technically yes, '몇 층이에요?' could ask how many layers there are, but '몇 단' is more common for objects.
'층' is for the specific floor (3rd floor), '개 층' is for the quantity (3 floors total).
You say '5층에 살아요.'
It is '이에요' because '층' ends in a consonant.
