저는 술을 못 해요.
jeoneun sureul mot haeyo.
I don’t drink.
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
A complete answer, and a perfectly acceptable one. No explanation needed.
Pouring, receiving, and the one drinking rule
If there’s alcohol on the table, this is the one piece of etiquette most likely to come up — and it’s genuinely easy. You don’t pour your own, and you receive with two hands.

Card number 11 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.
