Explanation at your level:

This is a very important phrase for beginners. It helps you when you don't understand. 'Dasi' means again. 'Han-beon' means one time. 'Malhae juseyo' means please speak. Use this when a Korean person speaks too fast. It is polite and friendly. You can use it with teachers and people you don't know.
At the A2 level, you should recognize the components of this expression. It uses the '-eo juseyo' grammar, which is for polite requests. 'Dasi' and 'han-beon' are adverbs that help specify your request. This phrase is essential for survival in Korea, allowing you to manage conversations even when your vocabulary is limited. It shows you are trying to be polite.
Intermediate learners should focus on the nuance of this phrase compared to others. While '다시 한 번 말해 주세요' is perfectly correct, you might start using '말씀해 주세요' to show more respect. You should also be able to add reasons, like '소리가 작아서' (because the sound is quiet) or '길이 시끄러워서' (because the street is noisy), before asking for repetition.
At this stage, you should master the pragmatic flexibility of the phrase. You might use the conditional form '말씀해 주시면 감사하겠습니다' (I would be grateful if you could speak again) in professional emails or formal meetings. You should also understand that '다시 한 번' can be replaced by '다시금' in literary contexts, though '다시 한 번' remains the standard for spoken interaction.
Advanced learners analyze this as a speech act that balances the 'Politeness Principle' with 'Efficiency.' The use of the auxiliary 'juda' (to give) minimizes the imposition on the hearer by framing the repetition as a voluntary act of kindness. You should be able to navigate the subtle social hierarchy and decide whether to use '말씀' (honorific) or '말' (neutral) based on the 'Gap-eul' (power dynamic) relationship.
Near-native mastery involves understanding the prosodic features—the intonation and rhythm—that distinguish a genuine request from a rhetorical one. In C2 contexts, one might explore the sociolinguistic evolution of the 'juseyo' ending and its role in the 'democratization' of the Korean language, where once-rigid hierarchical structures are softened into a more universal polite standard. You understand the cognitive load repetition places on the interlocutor and use this phrase with appropriate paralinguistic cues.

意味

A request for someone to repeat what they said.

🌍

文化的背景

In Korea, it is common to use '네?' (Yes?) with a rising intonation as a shorthand for 'Could you repeat that?'. It is not considered rude if said with a soft tone. In meetings, instead of just saying 'I didn't hear you,' Koreans often apologize first with '죄송하지만' (I'm sorry but) to maintain social harmony. Students are encouraged to ask for repetition. Teachers see it as a sign of a diligent student who wants to learn correctly. In texting (KakaoTalk), people often use '뭐라고?' or '머라고?' (slangy spelling) or even just '?' to ask for clarification, but '다시 말해줘' is the standard for friends.

🎯

Add '죄송하지만'

Starting with '죄송하지만' (I'm sorry but...) makes you sound incredibly polite and fluent.

⚠️

Watch your intonation

A falling intonation can sound like a command. Keep your tone light and slightly rising at the end.

💬

The Power of '네?'

If you are in a rush, a simple '네?' is enough, but '다시 한 번 말해 주세요' is always safer for learners.

Not really. While '다시' means again and '한 번' means once, using them together is the standard way to say 'one more time' politely.

It's better to use the honorific version: '다시 한 번 말씀해 주시겠어요?'

You can say '죄송합니다. 아직 잘 모르겠어요' (I'm sorry, I still don't quite know/understand).

'말하다' is the neutral verb, while '말씀하다' is the honorific form used for people of higher status.

In very casual settings like a gym or a quick transaction, '다시요' (Again, please) is okay, but it's quite blunt.

Story

You are at a Korean bakery. The baker says the price, but you missed it. You say 'Dasi han-beon!' and he hands you one more bun (han-beon) while repeating the price. You realize 'Dasi' sounds like 'Dice'—you want to roll the dice one more time.
