Hello everyone! Welcome to Beginner Korean.
Hello everyone! I am Jiho. Mina, you look like you are in a great mood today!
Yes, the weather is nice, so I feel truly great. Jiho, your bag is a bit big today! Are you perhaps going on a trip far away?
Haha, no! Yesterday I went downtown to meet a friend. But my bags grew heavy.
Haha, I see! There are many people downtown and it is crowded, so it must have been tough.
Right. There were too many people on the bus, so to go comfortably, I took a taxi.
That is a good idea! When you have lots of bags or are busy, taxis are really convenient.
That is right. So today, we prepared expressions you definitely use when taking a taxi in town.
When traveling in Korea or finding your way, these are really great expressions!
Yes, they are very easy expressions that Korean people use every single day.
Great! I will first introduce the six core expressions we will learn today.
The first expression we will learn is 택시 불러 주세요.
The second expression to check is 어디로 가세요.
The third expression to share is 서울역으로 가 주세요.
The fourth expression to start is 여기서 내려 주세요.
The fifth expression for finishing is 카드로 계산할게요.
The sixth expression for wrapping up is 영수증 주세요.
All six expressions can be used right inside a taxi, right?
Of course! But Jiho, did something happen yesterday while taking a taxi downtown?
Haha, I will tell you the fun story of what happened yesterday afternoon right now!
I am looking forward to it! Let us listen to Jiho's fun story together.
Everyone listen closely and carefully!
It was yesterday afternoon. Rain was falling lightly on the streets of Insadong in Seoul.
When it rains, walking while holding heavy bags is really difficult.
Right. I had a heavy bag in hand, and not much time was left before my appointment.
In times like that, finding a taxi quickly is the best way.
That is right. So in the hotel lobby, I said, Excuse me, 택시 불러 주세요.
You raised your hand on the roadside and waited for a passing taxi!
Yes, looking toward the road I raised my hand, and an orange taxi stopped.
The taxi came right away, so what a relief!
When I opened the car door and got in, the driver looked at me and smiled kindly.
The driver must have asked first where you wanted to go, your destination.
Right. The driver asked me, Customer, 어디로 가세요?
That is a very natural and frequently heard question!
I had to catch a train, so I said, Driver, 서울역으로 가 주세요.
Seoul Station is a big station for taking trains, so the driver knew right away.
Yes, the driver said Got it, and smoothly drove off.
On a rainy day, being inside a warm car must have put your mind at ease.
Outside the car window, downtown Seoul buildings passed by quickly.
Was the road clear, and did it drive smoothly without traffic?
Yes, the traffic was not jammed as much as I thought, so we arrived near the station quickly.
It is so nice that you arrived well without being late for your appointment.
Coming right in front of the station entrance, I said, Driver, 여기서 내려 주세요.
You told the drop-off spot clearly and accurately!
The driver stopped the car and showed me the fare screen.
These days in Korean taxis, paying by card is really convenient.
Right. So taking a card out of my wallet, I said, 카드로 계산할게요.
The driver must have tapped the card on the card machine with a beep.
Yes, after paying by card, to check the paper receipt I requested, 영수증 주세요.
You need to get a receipt to check the fare, and find items even if you leave them behind.
Handing me the receipt, the driver said goodbye, Have a nice day.
Meeting a warm and friendly driver made it a truly pleasant time!
It certainly was! Now shall we examine the expressions we learned today in detail one by one?
Great! Let us study the meaning and how to use the six expressions together.
The first expression is today's most important, 택시 불러 주세요.
It is an expression used when asking staff for a taxi at a hotel or restaurant.
Right. You can say to the staff, Excuse me, 택시 불러 주세요.
When you have a lot of luggage or do not know the way, you can use it very usefully.
Yes, the phrase Please call is a really great expression when asking politely.
The second expression is what the driver asks, 어디로 가세요.
When you get in a taxi, it is a kind phrase the driver uses to ask for where you want to go, your destination.
Right. You can also ask another person, 어디로 가세요?
It has the same meaning as Where are you going, but is a slightly more polite expression.
Listen carefully, and you just state where you want to go right away!
The third expression for stating the destination is 서울역으로 가 주세요.
If you attach 으로 가 주세요 after the place you want to go, it is very easy.
Right. Like 명동으로 가 주세요 or 홍대로 가 주세요, you only change the name.
If you attach 가 주세요 at the end, it becomes a very polite and lovely phrase.
It is the best expression to clearly communicate your destination to the driver!
The fourth expression for announcing where to get off is 여기서 내려 주세요.
When you almost reach your destination, it is a phrase asking the driver to stop.
Right. You can also use it like 저기서 내려 주세요 or 문 앞에서 내려 주세요.
When you want to get off safely by the roadside, definitely try using it.
If you tell them in advance, the driver can pull over and stop the car more comfortably.
The fifth expression used when paying the fare is 카드로 계산할게요.
In Korea these days, people use cards much more than cash.
Right. When paying the taxi fare, say 카드로 계산할게요 and hand over your card.
You can also use 현금으로 계산할게요 or 티머니로 계산할게요.
It is a truly convenient and frequently used expression!
The final sixth expression for receiving a paper receipt is 영수증 주세요.
It is a phrase used when you want to receive confirmation paper after payment is done.
Right. If you happen to leave something behind in a taxi, having a receipt helps you find the taxi.
At restaurants or shops, you can also say 영수증 주세요 in the same way.
Yes, it is a very great expression you can use anywhere!
These are six really wonderful expressions! Now shall we practice with quizzes in real situations?
Great! Let us boost our skills with fun quizzes.
It is the first quiz. In the hotel lobby, you want to take a taxi. When asking the staff, what do you say?
I say to the staff, Excuse me, 택시 불러 주세요.
That is correct! 택시 불러 주세요 is a very perfect and natural answer.
When you have lots of luggage, it is a great expression you can use right away.
It is the second quiz. You opened the taxi door and got in, and the driver asks for your destination. What would the driver say?
The driver looks at me and kindly asks, Customer, 어디로 가세요?
Ding dong dang! 어디로 가세요, you answered accurately and well.
When you hear this question, you just tell them where you want to go right away.
It is the third quiz. To take a train, you want to go to Seoul Station. How do you ask the driver?
Stating where I want to go, I say, Driver, 서울역으로 가 주세요.
Perfect! 서울역으로 가 주세요 is an accurate and polite expression.
Just attach 으로 가 주세요 after the place name, and it is very easy.
It is the fourth quiz. You are close to your destination and want to stop the car. What do you say to the driver?
Pointing ahead, I say, Driver, 여기서 내려 주세요.
Excellent! 여기서 내려 주세요 is a natural expression Koreans use every day.
When getting off safely at the desired spot, it is a phrase you definitely need.
It is the fifth quiz. You have arrived at your destination and it is time to pay the fare. Taking a card out of your wallet, what do you say?
Handing over the card, I say, Driver, 카드로 계산할게요.
That is correct! 카드로 계산할게요 is a neat and clear expression.
Even when you have no cash, you can say it with confidence.
It is the final sixth quiz. After payment is finished, you want to get the confirmation paper. How do you ask?
With a smile, I ask, Driver, 영수증 주세요.
Fantastic, Jiho! You answered all six questions completely and perfectly.
Reviewing with quizzes alongside Mina, the expressions stick right in my head!
