Excuse me, where can I take the subway to Gangnam Station?

4/21/2025

 

상황: 전철역에서 강남역 방향 전철을 타는 방법을 물어볼 때

죄송한데, 강남역 가는 전철은 어디에서 타요?

감사합니다!

Excuse me, where can I take the subway to Gangnam Station?

Thank you!

상황 설명

서울의 지하철 시스템은 복잡하고 크기 때문에 방향을 묻는 것은 아주 일반적인 상황입니다. 특히 ‘강남역’은 매우 붐비고 유명한 지역이기 때문에 외국인들도 자주 방문합니다. 지하철 플랫폼이 2개 이상일 수 있어서 어느 방향(상행/하행, 내선/외선 등)으로 가야 하는지 확인해야 합니다.

Seoul’s subway system is large and complex, so it’s very common to ask for directions. Gangnam Station is a busy and well-known area, often visited by foreigners. Subway platforms may have multiple directions (inbound/outbound or clockwise/counterclockwise), so it’s important to confirm which way to go.

주요 단어 및 표현

죄송한데 (Excuse me) - 말을 걸 때 매우 공손한 표현입니다. 상대방의 주의를 끌고 싶을 때 사용합니다.

강남역 가는 전철 (subway to Gangnam Station) - 목적지를 나타내는 표현. ‘가는’은 ‘go to’라는 의미입니다.

어디에서 타요? (Where can I take it?) - 교통수단을 탈 장소를 물을 때 쓰는 표현입니다.

감사합니다 (Thank you) - 모든 상황에 적합한 감사 인사입니다.

Excuse me: A very polite way to start a question.
Subway to Gangnam Station: Specifies the destination.
Where can I take it?: Asking for location to board.
Thank you: A standard and polite way to express gratitude.

영어에서 비슷한 표현

- Excuse me, which platform goes to Gangnam Station?

- Could you tell me how to get to Gangnam Station by subway?

주의할 점

“어디 타요?”처럼 너무 간단하게 말하면 무례하게 들릴 수 있습니다. 항상 “죄송한데” 같은 정중한 표현을 앞에 붙이는 것이 좋습니다.

Saying just “Where do I get on?” can sound too blunt. It’s better to use polite expressions like “Excuse me” before asking a question.
