직진해 주세요.

When to use

This is a straightforward command to keep going straight. It's useful when the driver might be unsure about the next turn or when you want to confirm the route.

Speech Level

The '-주세요' ending makes this a polite request, fitting the standard polite speech level (해요체 - haeyoche) for interacting with taxi drivers.

How it works

The structure is: Verb 'to go straight' + Request Ending. The subject 'I' is omitted.

• 직진해 주세요 (jikjinhae juseyo): Verb 'to go straight' (직진하다) conjugated to its -아/어 form (직진해) + the polite request ending '-아/어 주세요'. This construction means 'please go straight'.

Sound Changes

The 'ㅈ' in '진' is tensified after the 'ㄱ' batchim in '직', making '직진' pronounced as [직찐] (jik-jjin).

Notes

A simple and direct instruction for the taxi driver to proceed forward.
