意思
To operate a vehicle, typically a car.
文化背景
The 'Proxy Driver' (대리운전) system is a staple of Korean nightlife. It allows people to drink at social gatherings without worrying about how to get their car home, reflecting both a love for social drinking and a high regard for road safety laws. In the US, driving is often seen as a rite of passage for 16-year-olds. In contrast, in Korea, the legal age is 18, and many people wait until after university or even later to get their license due to excellent public transit. Japan and Korea share similar driving etiquette, such as using hazard lights to say 'thank you' to other drivers. However, Japan drives on the left, while Korea drives on the right. In many European countries, manual transmission (stick shift) is still very common. In Korea, almost all passenger cars are automatic, so '운전' usually implies an automatic vehicle unless specified.
Shorten it!
In daily life, just say '차 운전해요' instead of the full '자동차를 운전해요'. It sounds much more natural.
Don't 'drive' a bike
Remember, '운전하다' is for cars/trucks. For bikes, always use '타다'.

Learning '{운전|運轉}할 줄 알아요' is one of the most useful sentences for travelers and expats in Korea.
The 'Daeri' Culture
If you're in Korea and you've had a drink, don't drive. Just say '대리 불러주세요' (Please call a proxy driver).
自我测试
Choose the correct word to complete the sentence about being a driver.
저는 매일 아침 회까지 제 차를 [ ].
Since the speaker is talking about 'their car' and the action of getting to work, '운전해요' (drive) is the correct action for a driver.
Fill in the blank with the correct particle and verb form.
술을 마셨으면 자동차[ ] [ ] 안 됩니다.
The sentence means 'If you drank alcohol, you must not drive a car.' '자동차' takes the object marker '를'.
Match the phrase to the correct situation.
Which phrase would you use when you are a passenger in a taxi?
Passengers 'ride' (타요), they don't 'drive' (운전해요).
Complete the dialogue naturally.
