意味
A request for someone to slow down their speech.
文化的背景
The 'Pali-pali' (hurry-hurry) culture means Koreans often speak very fast. Asking them to slow down is a common and accepted part of being a learner. In meetings, using '말씀' instead of '말' shows you respect the other person's professional status while admitting your own linguistic limit. Age and status dictate the ending. Never use '말해 줘' with someone older, even if you are frustrated by their speed. Korean teachers are trained to wait for students. Using this phrase is seen as a sign of a diligent student who wants to catch every detail.
Use your hands
Pair the phrase with a gentle 'calm down' hand gesture (palms down) to make your meaning even clearer.
Don't over-soften
If you say '좀' too many times, you might sound hesitant. Once is enough!

よくある質問
3 問Not strictly, but without it, the request can sound a bit 'dry' or like a direct order. It's highly recommended for politeness.
Yes! That is even more polite ('Would you mind speaking slowly?'). It's great for formal situations.
You can say '죄송하지만, 아직 잘 모르겠어요. 다시 한 번만 천천히 말씀해 주세요.' (I'm sorry, I still don't quite understand. Please say it slowly one more time.)
