意思
Politely inviting someone to take a seat.
文化背景
Offering a seat to the elderly is a non-negotiable social rule. Even if you are tired, standing up for an elder is expected. The 'Sang-seok' (upper seat) is the seat furthest from the door. When you say '여기 앉으세요' to a boss, you should gesture to that specific seat. Wait for the eldest person to sit down first. You can say '여기 앉으세요' to prompt them to take the lead. While honorifics are strict, young people are increasingly using '앉으세요' with each other in initial meetings to maintain a polite distance.
Use your hands
Always gesture with an open palm toward the seat. Pointing with one finger is considered rude in Korea.
The 'Subway' Rule
If you are sitting in a priority seat and an elder approaches, don't wait to be asked. Just stand up and say the phrase.
