뜻
Giving directions to someone.
문화적 배경
It is common for Russians to use landmarks (like 'the big red building' or 'the pharmacy on the corner') rather than street names when showing the way. In many cities, people still use 'old' street names from the Soviet era, even if they have been officially renamed. A local might show you the way to 'Gorky Street' even if the sign says 'Tverskaya'. Pointing with a finger is generally okay, but in formal situations, using the whole hand is more polite. Also, it's common to ask 'How many minutes to walk?' If you look truly lost, a Russian might actually walk you part of the way to ensure you don't get lost again. This is seen as a mark of a 'good person'.
Use 'Подсказать' for Strangers
It sounds slightly more polite and less demanding than 'Показать'.
Don't forget the 'У'
If you ask 'from' someone, use 'у' + Genitive: 'Спросить дорогу у кого-то'.

Smile and Thank
Russians are very helpful with directions, so a warm 'Спасибо большое!' goes a long way.
