The menu is a wall of Korean, but the pastry you want is right in front of you. Point to it and say **이거 주세요**: "This one, please."

That one phrase works when the item is visible: at a bakery, food stall, market, café display, or convenience-store counter. You can add a number, confirm what the staff points to, and correct the choice without naming the item.

## The phrase to remember

| Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 이거 주세요 | i-geo ju-se-yo | This one, please |
| 이걸로 주세요 | i-geol-lo ju-se-yo | I'll take this one, please |

**이거 주세요** asks someone to give you the item. **이걸로 주세요** emphasizes your choice: "I'll go with this one." Both are polite enough for an ordinary shop or restaurant.

## This, that, and that over there

| Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 이거 | i-geo | this one, near the speaker |
| 그거 | geu-geo | that one, near the listener or already mentioned |
| 저거 | jeo-geo | that one over there, away from both people |

Use **이거** for the item beside you or the photo you are touching. **그거** can point to something the staff member is holding, but it also means "the thing we were just talking about." Use **저거**for an item farther away.

If you choose the wrong pointing word, the gesture usually makes your meaning clear. The next exchange lets you confirm it.

## What the staff may ask back

| Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 이거요? | i-geo-yo? | This one? |
| 이걸로 드릴까요? | i-geol-lo deu-ril-kka-yo? | Shall I give you this one? |
| 몇 개요? | myeot gae-yo? | How many? |
| 더 필요하세요? | deo pi-ryo-ha-se-yo? | Do you need anything else? |

Do not answer **네** until you have checked where the staff member is pointing. Use a noun or pointing word when you need to correct them.

| Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 네, 맞아요 | ne, ma-ja-yo | Yes, that's right |
| 아니요, 저거요 | a-ni-yo, jeo-geo-yo | No, that one over there |
| 하나 주세요 | ha-na ju-se-yo | One, please |
| 아니요, 괜찮아요 | a-ni-yo, gwaen-chan-a-yo | No, that's all / No, thanks |

## Add the number

Put the quantity before **주세요**.

| Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 이거 하나 주세요 | i-geo ha-na ju-se-yo | One of these, please |
| 이거 두 개 주세요 | i-geo du gae ju-se-yo | Two of these, please |
| 이거 세 개 주세요 | i-geo se gae ju-se-yo | Three of these, please |

For a first attempt, point and say **이거 하나 주세요**. Then listen for **이거요?** and answer **네, 맞아요**. That is a complete ordering exchange, even if you never learn the item's name.

Once this works in Korea,

**주세요** becomes more than a travel phrase. Replace **이거** with 물, 영수증, or any noun you know, and you have a pattern you can keep using.
