Emergency Situations
![]()
In the event that an urgent situation pops up and you're in need of direct, quick help, you'll need some quick phrases to get proper attention.
도와주세요! (doh-oah-ju-seh-yo!) - Help!
A straightforward call for assistance. This literally means "Give me help," to which a proper response might be
도와줄게요 (doh-oah-jeul-ke-yo), which means "I will give you help."
긴급 상황이에요 (gin-geup-sahng-hwang-ee-eh-yo) - It's an emergency
Whatever the nature of your problem, this phrase will get you rapid assistance. Consider who exactly you need to help you, whether it's the police or the paramedics, for example.
경찰 / 경찰을 부르세요 (kyung-chal / kyung-chal-eul bu-reu-seh-yo) - (Police / Call the police)
It's helpful to know that in South Korea, the phone number to contact the police is 112. But in case you don't have a phone or are in quick need of legal service, saying the above phrase to a native will most likely get the help you need.
병원 (byung-uon) - Hospital
If you say this phrase alone to a native, that could be enough of an alert for them to aid you. If you need quick medical attention and know you need care at a hospital, then use this phrase.
여기가 아파요 (yuh-gi-gah ah-pah-yo) - (It hurts here)
This is useful for any injury you receive that needs to be treated. Along with this phrase, point to where exactly you feel pain.
의사가 필요해요 (uie-sah-gah pil-yo-he-yo) - (I need a doctor)
Along with the word for hospital, this is good to know if there's ever a possibility that you need professional care. It's possible someone will call an ambulance for you, should the situation be dire, but you should also know that the Korean phone number for the fire brigade and ambulance services is 119.
Do you know what number should use to call ambulance in your country ?
