가방을 잃어버렸어요.
gabangeul ireobeoryeosseoyo.
I lost my bag.
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
Swap 가방 for 지갑 (wallet) or 휴대폰 (phone).
Losing something
This is the page where Korea will surprise you. Things left behind here come back at a rate visitors find hard to believe, and the reason is procedural rather than sentimental: transit operators and shops hand items over to a lost-and-found system instead of dropping them in a drawer.

Card number 53 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.
