Why this spelling

This romanisation is not the spelling copied letter by letter. It is built from the National Institute of Korean Language’s Revised Romanization, which writes what the word sounds like once the sounds next to each other have changed it.

When you would say it

Say this when the meat is finished and the grill is still hot. It is the standard way to end a barbecue meal.

The rest of the grill table

Meat is only half of what lands on the table. The other half arrives unasked, and knowing what it is for saves you from eating a wrap ingredient as a salad.

Card number 32 of the book

The guidebook prints these as numbered cards, so you can hold up a number instead of trying to pronounce it. The Korean edition comes with it and has the same numbers in the same places.
