When to use

Use this when you need hotel staff to call a local taxi, which is especially helpful if you do not have a local ride-hailing app.

How it works

This request uses the polite informal speech level with subject honorifics.

  • 택시를: 'Taxi' + object particle '를'
  • 불러 주실: 'Call and give (for me)' + honorific + future modifier
  • 수 있어요?: 'Is there the ability?' (Can you?)

Honorifics and Irregulars

The verb '주다' (to give/do for someone) includes the subject honorific infix '-시-', becoming '주시다'. This elevates the listener (the hotel staff) who is performing the action. Also, '부르다' (to call) is a '르' irregular verb, which changes to '불러' when adding vowel endings.

Pronunciation

The final consonant 'ㄹ' in '주실' causes the following 'ㅅ' in '수' to undergo tensification, making it sound like [주실 쑤].

Notes

Request the front desk or concierge to arrange transportation for you.
