๐ŸŒˆ The Big Picture

Home repairs in Korean follow a predictable sequence: something ๊ฐ‘์ž๊ธฐ (suddenly) ๊ณ ์žฅ์ด ๋‚œ๋‹ค (breaks down), it's ๋ถˆํŽธํ•˜๋‹ค (inconvenient), you ์—ฐ๋ฝํ•˜๋‹ค (contact) someone, and they come to do ์ˆ˜๋ฆฌ (repairs). These five words give you everything you need to handle any Korean home repair situation.

๐ŸŽจ The Core Repairs Family

2. ์ˆ˜๋ฆฌ โ€” repair ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ
์ˆ˜๋ฆฌํ•˜๋‹ค = to repair. ์ˆ˜๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ๋ฐ›๋‹ค = to have something repaired. ์ˆ˜๋ฆฌ ๊ธฐ์‚ฌ = repair technician. ์ˆ˜๋ฆฌ๋น„ = repair cost. The professional fix.
3. ์—ฐ๋ฝํ•˜๋‹ค โ€” to contact, get in touch ๐Ÿ“ž
๊ด€๋ฆฌ์‹ค์— ์—ฐ๋ฝํ•˜๋‹ค = to contact the management office. ์—ฐ๋ฝ์„ ๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋‹ค = to contact (humble). ์—ฐ๋ฝ์ด ์•ˆ ๋ผ์š” = can't get through. The first step after ๊ณ ์žฅ.
4. ๊ฐ‘์ž๊ธฐ โ€” suddenly, all of a sudden โšก
๊ฐ‘์ž๊ธฐ ๊ณ ์žฅ์ด ๋‚ฌ์–ด์š” = it suddenly broke down. ๊ฐ‘์ž๊ธฐ ์ „๊ธฐ๊ฐ€ ๋‚˜๊ฐ”์–ด์š” = the electricity suddenly went out. Always about an unexpected, abrupt occurrence.
5. ๋ถˆํŽธํ•˜๋‹ค โ€” inconvenient, uncomfortable ๐Ÿ˜ค
๋ถˆํŽธํ•œ ์ƒํ™ฉ์ด์—์š” = it's an inconvenient situation. ๋งŽ์ด ๋ถˆํŽธํ•ด์š” = it's very inconvenient. ๋ถˆํŽธ์„ ๋“œ๋ ค์„œ ์ฃ„์†กํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค = I'm sorry for the inconvenience (formal apology). Both physical discomfort and functional inconvenience.
