Korean basic phrases game
Sixteen phrases that each do one job: introduce yourself, admit you did not follow, ask the price, ask for the bill, ask for help. Five of them end in juseyo, which is the ending that turns almost anything into a polite request.

Five games take this set. Flooded Hold is the one to play: it shows a phrase against an English meaning and asks whether they match, which is how you actually meet a phrase you half remember.

Questions
What does juseyo do?
It means please give, and attaching it to a verb turns a statement into a polite request. Dowajuseyo is help me, please. Igeo juseyo is I will have this one. It is the single most useful ending in this set.
Moreugesseoyo: I do not know or I do not understand?
Nearer I do not know, and it is used for both in practice. Korean leans on it far more than English leans on either, and it is a graceful way out of a question you cannot answer.
