意思
A question about the duration of a journey or task.
文化背景
The 'Palli-palli' (hurry-hurry) culture makes this phrase extremely common. Koreans value knowing exactly how long something will take so they can optimize their schedule. In Korean business, being vague about time is seen as unprofessional. Using '얼마나 걸립니까?' shows you are concerned with efficiency and deadlines. When meeting friends, '얼마나 걸려?' is often a coded way of asking 'Have you actually left your house yet?' because of the tendency to be slightly late to social gatherings. Korean public transport apps (like KakaoBus or Naver Maps) use the term '소요시간' (time required), which is the formal noun version of this phrase.
Add '정도'
When answering, add '정도' (jung-do) after the time to mean 'about'. It sounds more natural than giving an exact second.
Don't use for distance
If you ask 'How long is the bridge?' using this phrase, people will think you are asking how long it takes to cross it, not its physical length.

The '5-minute' rule
If a Korean friend says '5분 걸려' (It takes 5 minutes), they might still be at home. It's a common social exaggeration!
