Chapter 10

At the Office and

Around the House

In This Chapter

Doing business at the office and at dinner

Going to meetings

Finding your way around home

Being a good houseguest

Whether you spend most of your time at the samusil ( sa-moo-shil; office) or at jip ( jeep; home, house), you’ll want to know a word or two about samu yongpum ( sa-moo-yong-poom; office supplies) and gajeong yongpum ( gajeong-yong-poom; household goods). Especially, if you know few phrases in Korean, it’ll be very handy at business settings to impress your business partner or your clients. They’ll think that you have taken that “extra step”

to make themselves “at home” with your new found knowledge of Korean

language.

In this chapter, I will teach you how to say few handy phrases to use at work, such as asking for where things are and how to use office machinery. Also included in this chapter are phrases and words to use when you are staying at your Korean friend’s house. I will also teach you some Korean customs so that your host/hostess will think you are very well informed about the Korean culture.

In this chapter, I stick mostly to formal polite form of Korean speech, when doing business at the office and when going to the meetings. At other times, I will use informal polite Korean, which was the form used throughout this book.
