[ Ordering Food in Korean ]

Ordering something is very simple, just say

___object__ + juseyo.
___object__ + 주세요

So if I want kim chi, I simply say

kim chi juseyo.
김치주세요

What this means is actually give me kim chi. Juseyo (주세요) is a polite form of the infinitive juu ta (주다) meaning to give. The "seyo" part is the equivalent of please. Combined together it becomes juseyo 주세요.

If you want more than one item, you use the word "hago" which means and.

hago - 하고

So if you wanted to order Kim Chi and an apple, you say

kim chi hago sagwa juseyo.
김치 하고 사과 주세요.

Extra Hints
The ㅈis somewhat of a mix between a J and a Ch. It is not quite as aspirated as the Ch in Kim Chi. The Ch is Kim Chi is formed with ㅊ.

excellent..put more of these phrases up..

"___object__ + juseyo" = does it go for drinks too?
