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

Works both for ordering food to take away and for boxing up what’s left.

Ordering for a table of two when everything is sized for four

Jokbal, bossam, budae-jjigae, gamjatang and most grilled meat come in sizes that start at roughly two people and go up. A pair can eat a small anything; a single traveler mostly cannot, and that is a real constraint rather than a rule anyone will explain to you.

Card number 36 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.
