When you want to politely ask for something in Korean, you can use 주세요 (juseyo). This word literally means "please give me."

You simply add 주세요 after the noun of the item you want. For example, if you want water, you'd say "물 주세요 (mul juseyo)."

It's a very useful phrase for everyday situations like ordering food or asking for items in a store.

Remember to use this with politeness, especially when speaking to people older than you or in formal settings.

When you want to ask for something politely in Korean, you can use 주세요 (juseyo). This word literally means "please give me." You attach it to the end of a noun to request that item.

For example, if you want to ask for water, you'd say 물 주세요 (mul juseyo). If you're at a restaurant and want the menu, you could say 메뉴판 주세요 (menyupan juseyo). It's a very common and essential phrase for everyday interactions in Korea.

When you want to politely ask for something in Korean, you can use 주세요 (juseyo). This versatile expression is added to the end of a noun to form a request. For example, if you're at a restaurant and want water, you could say 물 주세요 (mul juseyo), meaning 'Please give me water.'

You can also use 주세요 with verbs to request an action. To do this, you change the verb stem and add 아/어 주세요 (a/eo juseyo). If the verb stem ends in a vowel ㅏ or ㅗ, you add -아 주세요. For all other vowels and consonants, you add -어 주세요.

For example, if you want someone to help you, you would take the verb 돕다 (dopda - to help). The stem is 돕-. Since it ends in ㅗ, you add -아 주세요, making it 도와 주세요 (dowa juseyo), meaning 'Please help me.' Another example is 읽다 (ikda - to read). The stem is 읽-, so you add -어 주세요, making it 읽어 주세요 (ilgeo juseyo), meaning 'Please read it for me.'

Remember that 주세요 is a polite and common way to make requests in everyday Korean. Mastering its usage will significantly improve your ability to communicate effectively in various situations.

使い方

When you want to politely ask for something in Korean, you can use 주세요 (juseyo). It literally means 'please give me.' You attach it to the end of the noun for the item you want. For example, if you want water, you would say '물 주세요 (mul juseyo).' If you want a menu, you say '메뉴 주세요 (menyuju juseyo).'

よくある間違い

A common mistake is using 주세요 for actions. It's specifically for requesting physical items. If you want someone to *do* something for you, you'd use a different grammatical structure. For instance, you wouldn't say '먹으세요 주세요 (meogeuseyo juseyo)' to ask someone to please eat; you'd just say '드세요 (deuseyo)' or '드셔 주세요 (deusyeo juseyo)' if you want to be extra polite and want them to do something for you.

よくある質問

10 問

You use 주세요 (juseyo) when you want to politely ask for something. Think of it like saying 'please give me' in English.

Yes, you can use 주세요 with most nouns to ask for that item. For example, '물 주세요' means 'please give me water'.

Yes, 주세요 is a polite form. It's appropriate to use in most situations, especially with people you don't know well or who are older than you.

주세요 is a standard polite form. 주십시오 (jusipsio) is an even more formal or honorific way to say 'please give me', often used in very formal settings or with people of much higher status. For everyday use, 주세요 is perfectly fine.

No, not directly in the sense of 'please do this for me'. 주세요 is specifically for requesting an object. To ask someone to perform an action, you'd attach it to the verb stem, like '앉아 주세요' (please sit).

You would say '저것 주세요 (jeogeot juseyo)' which means 'please give me that thing'. '이것 주세요' is 'please give me this thing'.

You can list the items and then add 주세요 at the end. For example, '커피하고 빵 주세요' means 'please give me coffee and bread'.

Yes, the more casual form is '줘 (jwo)'. You would use this with close friends or people younger than you. However, as a beginner, it's safer to stick with 주세요.

Absolutely! It's very common to use 주세요 when ordering food. For example, '비빔밥 주세요' (please give me bibimbap) or '맥주 두 잔 주세요' (please give me two beers).

A common mistake is trying to use it to ask for actions, not just objects. Remember, for actions, you attach 주세요 to the verb stem, like '도와 주세요' (please help me), not '도움 주세요' (which would mean 'please give me help').

multiple choice B2

Which of the following situations would be appropriate to use "주세요"?

正解! おしい! 正解: Ordering coffee from a barista at a cafe.

While "주세요" can be used in various contexts, it's a polite request. Ordering from a service person is a common and appropriate use. For a senior colleague, a more formal request might be better. For friends and children, direct commands or less formal phrasing are often used.

multiple choice B2

You want to ask for the menu at a restaurant. Which is the most natural way to use "주세요"?

正解! おしい! 正解: 메뉴 주세요.

While '메뉴를 주세요' is grammatically correct, in everyday conversation, especially for common requests like a menu, the object particle '를' is often omitted for brevity and naturalness. '메뉴를 주십시오' is overly formal. '메뉴 주시겠습니까?' is also polite but slightly different in nuance, closer to 'Would you please give me the menu?' rather than a direct request.

multiple choice B2

Which sentence uses "주세요" correctly and naturally to ask for help?

正解! おしい! 正解: 도와주세요.

"도와주세요" (도와 + 주세요) is the standard and natural way to say 'Please help me.' '도움을 주세요' is grammatically awkward and unnatural. '돕다 주세요' incorrectly conjugates the verb. '도와주시겠어요?' is also correct, but it's a question ('Would you please help me?') rather than a direct 'Please help me.'

true false B2

You can use "주세요" to ask someone to do an action for you, such as 'Please open the door.'

正解! おしい! 正解: 正しい

"주세요" can be attached to the stem of an action verb (verb stem + 아/어/여 + 주세요) to politely request someone to perform that action for you. For example, '문 좀 열어 주세요' means 'Please open the door for me.'

true false B2

It is generally polite to use "주세요" when asking your boss for a document.

正解! おしい! 正解: 間違い

While "주세요" is polite in many situations, when addressing someone in a significantly higher position or with higher status, like a boss, a more honorific form such as '주십시오' or '주시겠어요?' (to soften the request) would generally be more appropriate to show proper respect.

true false B2

The phrase "물 주세요" is a common and polite way to ask for water in a restaurant.

正解! おしい! 正解: 正しい
