A2 Expression 非常正式

수고 많으셨습니다.

Sugo maneusyeotseumnida.

You've worked hard.

意思

A polite expression appreciating someone's efforts.

🌍

文化背景

In Korean companies, saying 'Sugo 많으셨습니다' is not just a choice; it's a ritual. Leaving without saying it can be seen as cold or arrogant. Koreans often use this phrase to show respect to blue-collar workers, such as janitors or security guards, acknowledging that their work is physically demanding. The 'Sugo' taboo for elders is real. If you are unsure, use '감사합니다' (Thank you) or '고생 많으셨습니다' (You went through much hardship), which is always safe. The phrase reinforces the idea that success is a result of everyone's shared 'suffering' or effort, rather than just individual talent.

🎯

The 'Taxi' Rule

Saying this to a taxi driver is the fastest way to sound like a local who understands Korean culture.

⚠️

The Boss Trap

If your boss is much older, stick to '감사합니다' or '고생하셨습니다' to be 100% safe.
