오른쪽으로 돌아 주세요.

When to use

This phrase is used to give a specific direction to the taxi driver. It's clear and direct, ensuring the driver understands your instruction.

Speech Level

The '-주세요' ending indicates a polite request, making this suitable for use with taxi drivers in the standard polite speech level (해요체 - haeyoche).

How it works

The structure is: Direction + Directional Particle + Verb 'to turn' + Request Ending. The subject 'I' is omitted.

• 오른쪽으로 (oreunjjogeuro): Noun 'right side' + direction particle '으로'. '으로' indicates the direction of movement.
• 돌아 주세요 (dora juseyo): Verb 'to turn' (돌다) conjugated to its -아/어 form (돌아) + the polite request ending '-아/어 주세요'. This construction means 'please turn for me'.

Sound Changes

Due to liaison, the final consonants carry over to the following vowels. '쪽으로' is pronounced [쪼그로] and '돌아' is pronounced [도라].

Notes

Use this clear direction when you want the taxi to turn right.
