가위 좀 주세요.
gawi jom juseyo.
Scissors, please.
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
For noodles, and for anything on a grill that arrived in one piece.
Cold noodles, and the scissors
Cold noodle dishes are summer food, though the shops run all year. They come with a pair of scissors, and someone will cut the noodles in the bowl for you — buckwheat and starch noodles are long and slippery, and cutting them is how they are meant to be eaten.

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.
