Cramming Korean: Excuse me

Catch a stranger’s attention the right way.


Excuse me, I just need to get something between your legs.

The use of ‘excuse me’ as an apology will be covered in the next Cramming Korean post.

저기요.

jeo gi yo

Excuse me – to be used only to catch someone’s attention, or to call a server to make an order.

잠깐만요.

jam kkan man yo

Just a second – could be used to pass in between people.

Thanks to TalkToMeInKorean.com for the clarification.
