A little help for everyday life
Start with a situation, find a question or read a label.
01Start with your situationSix collections of relevant guides
Start with the question you have. Open any relevant guide in each collection; these are explanations to explore, not tasks you must complete.
I have just moved in
Find the questions to ask about your building, included services and everyday rules.
I want to understand a bill
Choose the relevant explanation. A meter total, a period of use and an amount due are different things.
Heating and hot water are unfamiliar
Understand the arrangement and ask for the matching user guide. Keep unknown as an option.
I need help with the Wi-Fi
Learn the equipment and connection terms, then find the right host, administrator or provider to ask.
The laundry room is unfamiliar
Read the common labels and distinguish spin from drying. Exact controls still need the matching model guide.
I need the building's everyday rules
Find who can explain deliveries, disposal, shared facilities and building notices.
For an emergency, use Emergency safety for official contacts. These collections do not assess a hazard or identify your equipment.
02Ask in Korean28 questions with their English meaning

Water meter 수도계량기
A water meter records accumulated water use. A reading is a total, while an increase between readings is a difference. Where the meter is installed and who reads it depend on your building and water service.
Applies to: General terms and fictional arithmetic. Seoul self-reading conditions apply only to the linked Seoul service.
Keep in mind: This guide explains meter terms and a fictional arithmetic example. Reading arrangements are described by the applicable water service or building manager.

Register지침 표시부
This is the area where a reading is shown. Its digits are deliberately unreadable here; use the exact meter instructions for a real reading.
Meter body계량기 본체
The external housing is called the meter body. This is a generic appearance example, not an installed-equipment identification.
Image unavailable. The part descriptions and concept guide remain below.
AI-made appearance example. Actual equipment may differ; this is not a supported model photo or an operating guide.
Example / Not your actual meter reading
1,271 − 1,258 = 13. The illustration above is not a scale for reading these numbers.
Same meter and unit; no replacement or rollover. These are fictional numbers, not your reading or billed quantity.

Words you may see
Two terms to keep apart
Cumulative readingandUsage during a period
A meter reading is a recorded total. A difference between readings describes a period only under the stated conditions; it is not automatically the billed quantity or money due.
검침값 Meter reading
The recorded total at a particular reading time.
사용량 Usage
A quantity of water used over a period. Billing rules can affect the billed quantity.
청구금액 Amount due
The money charged on a bill. It is not the meter reading.
Learn the basics
Read the total, then understand the period
A meter reading is a running total
The reading records accumulated water use, rather than the water used this month. In the fictional exercise, an increase is found by comparing two readings from the same meter in the same unit, with no replacement or rollover. The result is an example quantity, not a bill.
The meter and the bill answer different questions
A reading tells you a recorded total; the bill identifies a period, usage and charges. The meter can be away from the kitchen or bathroom. Your manager or water service can explain who reads it and whether you have any submission task.
Understand readings & bills
A total, then a difference
Example / Not your actual meter reading
Assume the same meter and unit, with no replacement or rollover. The difference is 13 m³. This is an arithmetic example, not your billed quantity or amount due. It does not teach decimal or digit-colour interpretation on a real meter.
Ask the building manager or water service who reads the meter and whether any action is required from you.
Seoul's linked self-reading service has eligibility conditions and excludes remote or outsourced readings. Receiving a bill alone does not establish a submission obligation.
Everyday tips
Useful things to check
Keep the unit with the number
The practice values use m³, meaning cubic metres. For an actual meter, use its specific reading guide to understand decimal places and coloured digits; this illustration supplies no digit rule.
Check the arrangement before submitting anything
Ask whether readings are handled by the service, the building or residents. A self-reading page for one service does not make every resident responsible for submitting a reading.
Ask where the accessible information is
If you cannot find or access the meter, ask the manager for the location and authorised reading process. Leave locked or shared cabinets and seals alone.
Find the right next step
Ask with a clear question
Who to ask
Start with the host or building manager. Ask the applicable water service about its reading and billing conditions when you receive a direct bill.

GENERAL · Common understanding
Gas supply & what it serves 가스 공급·사용 용도
Gas may supply cooking, space heating or hot water, depending on the appliances and building. Those uses do not have to share one supply arrangement. Knowing the supplier and what your gas bill covers is more useful than guessing from the shape of a meter.
Applies to: General supply and use vocabulary. City gas, LPG and unknown remain separate possibilities; no supply type or appliance compatibility is inferred.
Keep in mind: This topic explains supply names and enquiry routes. The responsible company is specific to the home.

Words you may see
Two terms to keep apart
A gas meterandA confirmed supply type
Both the equipment and the provider matter. A meter alone does not identify city gas or LPG; keep the supply unknown until the responsible service or manager confirms it.
도시가스 City gas
A gas supply service provided by a regional gas company. Confirm the company serving your home.
LPG / 액화석유가스 LPG
Liquefied petroleum gas. A metered LPG arrangement also exists, so a meter alone does not identify city gas.
취사 Cooking
The cooking use of gas, separate from heating and hot-water uses.
난방 / 온수 Space heating / hot water
Heating rooms and supplying hot water are different household needs. Ask which supply serves each one.
Learn the basics
Separate the supply from its household uses
Cooking, heating and hot water can have different sources
Gas may serve cooking, room heating, hot water or a combination. A building-supplied heating system can coexist with gas cooking. An electric cooker does not identify the source of hot water. Ask about each use separately.
A gas meter does not identify the fuel
City gas and LPG are different supply possibilities. Korea Gas Safety Corporation also describes metered LPG arrangements, so a meter alone cannot settle which supply you have. Use the supplier name on a notice or bill, or the manager’s confirmation.
Unknown is a useful starting point
Say which service you want to understand: 취사 for cooking, 난방 for room heating, or 온수 for hot water. The responsible person can identify the supply and guide. There is no need to inspect pipes, connections or locked equipment to ask the question.
Unknown is kept. The presence of a meter or the type of home alone does not establish the gas supply type. Ask the host, manager or supplier what serves cooking, heating and hot water.
Everyday tips
Useful things to check
Match the bill to the use
Ask whether the gas charge covers cooking alone or also heating and hot water. A separate gas bill is not automatically a complete statement of all home energy costs.
Match the company to the home
Use the company confirmed to serve the home. Seoul City Gas’s customer route applies to its supply area; its name does not establish coverage for every home in Seoul.
Keep supply information separate from controls
After confirming the supply, request the user guide for the actual appliance or controller. A supply name does not give an operating procedure for a boiler, valve or meter.
Find the right next step
Ask with a clear question
Who to ask
Ask the host or manager to confirm the supply and responsible company, then use that company’s applicable customer-service route.

GENERAL · Common understanding
Gas meter & bill 가스계량기·고지서
A gas meter reading, an amount of gas used and a bill total are different numbers. Seoul City Gas's example distinguishes volume in m³, energy in MJ and money in won. Your provider and billing arrangement determine the applicable calculation.
Applies to: Bill vocabulary and a named city-gas example. No real readings are collected and no nationwide price or LPG conversion is calculated.
Keep in mind: This topic explains gas-meter and bill vocabulary. It does not assess equipment, supply condition or an actual amount due.

Two terms to keep apart
Gas volume in m³andGas energy in MJ
Volume and energy are different quantities. The named provider uses its applicable factors in billing; neither number alone is the money due.
지침 Meter reading
The recorded meter value at a reading time; it is different from the money due.
사용량 (m³ / ㎥) Volume used
A volume of gas for the billing period. m³ means cubic metres.
사용열량 (MJ) Energy used
Gas energy expressed in megajoules; it is not the same unit as cubic metres.
청구금액 / 결제금액 (원) Amount due
Money to pay, expressed in Korean won. Check the bill's own item definitions.
보정계수 / 평균열량 Correction factor / average calorific value
Inputs used in the linked provider's calculation. They are not universal fixed numbers.
Learn the basics
Separate the meter value, usage and money due
Read the unit before comparing numbers
In the Seoul City Gas example, m³ measures gas volume, MJ measures energy, and 원 denotes money in Korean won. A meter value, period usage and bill total therefore answer different questions. Their numbers are not interchangeable.
A meter difference is only part of a bill
The linked provider uses reading differences together with correction and calorific factors in its explanation. Other charge items may also appear. Multiplying a visible meter difference by a guessed national price does not produce the actual bill.
The bill issuer explains the arrangement
Gas may be billed by a supplier, through building fees or through another arrangement. Ask the issuer which period, units and charge items apply. This page does not need your readings, account number or payment information.
Everyday tips
Useful things to check
Compare the same kind of information
Check the dates, units and included items before comparing two bills. A larger money total alone does not show how much more gas was used or establish an equipment problem.
Keep water and gas examples separate
Both services may use m³ for volume, but their billing rules differ. The fictional water-reading exercise is not a gas-energy or gas-price calculator.
Ask what the moving settlement covers
For a move, confirm the final billing period and any remaining payment arrangement with the provider. Reading a settlement guide does not complete payment or cancel an automatic payment.
Find the right next step
Ask with a clear question
Who to ask
Ask the gas-bill issuer or applicable supplier to explain its period, units and charges. For a building-fee item, start with the management office.
가스 고지서의 기간·단위·청구 항목은 청구한 곳이나 해당 공급사에 문의하세요. 관리비 항목이면 먼저 관리사무소에 문의하세요.
Which period does this bill cover, what do any readings or units shown mean, which items form the amount due, and who receives payment?
The supplier example explains units and bill structure; it does not convert your readings into a nationwide price or confirm payment.
Could you explain the billing period, any readings or units shown, and which charges are included in this gas bill? Is it paid separately or through building fees?

Heating, hot water & controller 난방·온수 방식·조절기
Space heating warms the home; hot water serves taps and showers. Heat may come from an individual boiler, a building's central plant or a district heating supplier. A controller helps manage the relevant system, but its appearance does not identify that system.
Applies to: General roles and vocabulary. Keep individual, building-supplied and unknown separate until confirmed. No model-specific mode, target temperature or operating sequence is provided.
Keep in mind: Heating and hot-water names describe different services. This topic does not identify an installed system or provide equipment instructions.

Heating arrangements have different names
개별난방 describes heating for an individual home; 중앙난방 describes a shared building or complex plant; 지역난방 describes heat supplied from outside the building. A building-supplied system can still have an in-home controller. The building type alone does not select the arrangement.
Room temperature and set temperature are different
In Korea District Heating Corporation’s equipment explanation, 실내온도 is an indoor-temperature reading and 설정온도 is a selected target. A target on a screen does not mean it has been reached. Other displays and modes need the confirmed controller’s guide.
Heating and hot water are separate questions
난방 warms the home; 온수 or 급탕 supplies hot water for taps and showers. Confirm the source and resident control for each service. If the supply or model is unknown, ask the manager instead of choosing a button sequence.
Unknown is kept. An apartment, villa or studio does not establish the heating arrangement. Ask the manager about room heating, hot water and their billing separately.
Everyday tips
Useful things to check
Name the service you mean
Use 난방 when asking about room heating and 온수 or 급탕 when asking about hot-water supply. This helps avoid a general “the boiler” question when the services may be arranged differently.
Get the resident controller guide
Ask for the actual controller’s model and instructions intended for residents. A similar panel or another home’s settings do not explain this installation.
Describe a room difference without assigning a cause
If one room feels warmer or colder, name the room and what you noticed. That observation helps a relevant enquiry but does not identify a valve fault or determine repair responsibility.

Plugs, sockets and power strips 콘센트·플러그·멀티탭
A wall socket, a plug and a power strip are different parts of an electrical connection. The product’s rated voltage, current and permitted load matter. A travel adapter changing the shape of a plug does not by itself establish electrical compatibility.

Electricity meter and bill 전력량계·전기요금
An electricity meter records electrical energy use. A bill connects usage to a billing period and its charging arrangement. An appliance’s power rating in W is a different kind of number from energy use in kWh or an amount due in won.
Applies to: Power, energy and bill vocabulary. No real-time bill estimate, tariff promise or leakage diagnosis.
Keep in mind: Leave meters, seals and locked/shared cabinets untouched. Keep actual readings and customer identifiers on your own private records.
See the idea
Power, energy and money
- W
Power소비전력
Power is a rate; it is not a period total.
- kWh
Energy used사용전력량
Energy used over a stated period.
- ₩
Amount due청구금액
Money calculated under the applicable billing arrangement.
W or kW describes power; kWh describes energy over time; won describes money. No actual tariff is calculated.

Two terms to keep apart
Power in WandEnergy in kWh
W describes power and kWh describes energy over time. A rated appliance figure is not your actual monthly consumption or an amount due.
소비전력 (W) Power consumption / rating
Power expressed in watts; a rated figure is not your actual monthly consumption.
사용전력량 (kWh) Electrical energy used
Energy expressed in kilowatt-hours over a period.
청구금액 / 납부기한 Amount due / due date
The payment amount and deadline on the actual bill; these are separate from usage.
Learn the basics
Separate power, energy and payment
The unit changes the meaning
W expresses power; kWh expresses electrical energy; 원 expresses money in won. An appliance’s rated power does not give your monthly energy use. A cumulative meter reading and the quantity for a billed period are also different, and display meanings depend on the meter type.
The bill sender explains what is included
Electricity may come on a direct KEPCO bill or as an item in 관리비. Find the covered period and ask whether the statement separates home usage from shared building charges. A total alone does not show that arrangement.
Everyday tips
Useful things to check
Compare the period and kWh first
When comparing your own bills, check that the dates and usage units are comparable before looking at won. A change in the amount due does not identify an appliance or diagnose leakage.
Use the item name in a billing enquiry
Ask the actual supplier about a direct bill or the management office about its statement. Ask which period and calculation the line covers; this guide neither collects meter values nor calculates payment.
Find the right next step
Ask with a clear question
Who to ask
For a direct supplier bill, use that supplier’s customer service. For electricity charged through building fees, ask the management office or statement issuer.
공급사가 직접 청구한 전기요금은 해당 고객서비스에 문의하세요. 관리비에 포함된 전기요금은 관리사무소나 청구한 곳에 문의하세요.
Which period and kWh quantity are charged, and are household and shared-building items separate?
A bill comparison does not identify a leaking circuit, an appliance fault or an actual tariff calculation.

Dryer 건조기
A dryer dries garments; a washing machine’s 탈수 spins water out but is not the same task. Some appliances combine washing and drying. The machine guide and each garment’s care label both matter.
Applies to: Drying vocabulary and care-label questions. No cycle, heat, duration, load or garment safety determination.
Keep in mind: This topic explains drying words and where garment and machine information come from. It does not assess a garment or provide maintenance instructions.

SpinandDrying
Spin removes water by spinning in a washing task. Machine drying is a different task; the garment care label and actual appliance guide still apply.
건조 Drying

탈수 Spin
A washing function that removes water by spinning; it is different from drying.
취급표시 Care label
The garment’s care information, including any drying restrictions.
Learn the basics
Separate spinning, drying and garment care
Spin and drying are different tasks
탈수 removes water by spinning; 건조 is drying. A separate dryer and a washer-dryer have different product configurations. A drying word on a washing-machine panel does not make another dryer’s guide applicable.
The garment and machine each supply instructions
The garment’s 취급표시 gives care information, including drying restrictions. Compare it with the actual machine guide. A material name or a familiar programme word alone does not decide whether that garment can be machine dried.
Everyday tips
Useful things to check
Clarify an unfamiliar care label first
If a drying symbol or written care statement is unclear, confirm its meaning before selecting a programme. This glossary does not assign a heat setting, drying time or load.
Confirm the shared-laundry arrangement
Ask which dryer or washer-dryer guests may use, where its guide is and who manages its upkeep. Local access and use rules are separate from the meaning of 건조.
Find the right next step
Ask with a clear question
Who to ask
Ask the host or shared-laundry operator which appliance and guide apply. For your own dryer, use its exact-model manufacturer support.

GENERAL · Common understanding
Air conditioner and remote 에어컨·리모컨
An air-conditioner remote may show cooling, dehumidifying and fan modes. Some confirmed unit-and-remote combinations also offer heating. The remote’s appearance or a printed mode alone does not establish what your installed unit supports.
Applies to: Common mode words and exact-unit/remote matching. No universal temperature, pairing or button sequence.
Keep in mind: This topic explains mode words and matching-guide enquiries. Installation, internal work and onsite response instructions are outside this edition.

A remote’s mode labelandThe unit’s supported modes
Mode sets vary across remote and unit combinations. Match both pieces before treating a label as an available function.

A moisture-removal mode; its behaviour depends on the product.
송풍 / 난방 Fan / heating
Airflow and heating are distinct modes; heating support must be confirmed for the unit and remote.
Learn the basics
Match the unit, remote and displayed mode
Cooling, dehumidifying and fan have different names
냉방 is cooling, 제습 is dehumidifying and 송풍 is fan mode. 난방 is heating when the installed unit and remote support it. LG’s guide notes that available modes vary with product features; a printed remote label does not guarantee that function here.
Read a display with its nearby words
Use the displayed mode, labels and units to ask what a number or symbol means on this combination. The actual unit-and-remote guide should explain it. This page does not identify a room-temperature reading or a target from a generic screen.
Everyday tips
Useful things to check
Name the mode rather than a button colour
Use 냉방, 제습 or 송풍 in the question and describe the visible display. That gives the host a clearer starting point than “the blue button” without treating the display as a fault diagnosis.
Confirm which remote belongs to this unit
Ask the host to identify the installed unit and matching remote, their supported modes and their user guide. Another room’s remote or a similar picture is not enough for an operating instruction.
Find the right next step
Ask with a clear question
Who to ask
Ask the host or manager to identify the installed unit and matching remote. Use the manufacturer’s guide for that confirmed combination.

전자레인지 can name a microwave appliance; 레인지 can name its microwave mode. A combination oven may also offer 오븐 or grill modes. The appliance’s shape does not tell you which heating method is selected.
Container guidance needs the selected mode
Use the appliance’s instructions for the mode and the container maker’s marking together. A container or supplied accessory suitable for one mode may not suit another. Appearance or a generic “heat resistant” description does not settle that match.
Everyday tips

정수 names filtered water, 냉수 chilled water and 온수 hot water, when those options are offered. 출수 means dispensing water from the outlet. The available choices and dispensing controls depend on the product; a label does not specify temperature or an unlocking method.
Appliance care and water testing answer different questions
The host or rental care provider can explain filter schedules and appliance service. A filter replacement or rental contract is different from a household water-quality result. The word 정수 does not certify the water supplied to this home.
Everyday tips
Useful things to check
Confirm the option before following a dispensing guide
Ask the host to identify 냉수, 정수 and 온수 on the actual product and show the ordinary user instructions. Keep hot-water precautions and controls with that model’s guide.
Know who arranges care visits
Ask who manages the purifier, where its service information is kept and whom to contact about a fault. Filter and plumbing work belong with the responsible care service rather than a generic demonstration.
Find the right next step
Ask with a clear question
Who to ask
Ask the host who manages the purifier and its care. Use the applicable manufacturer or rental care provider for the exact model.
숙소 운영자에게 정수기와 관리 담당자를 확인하세요. 정확한 모델의 제조사나 해당 렌탈 관리 서비스에 문의하세요.
Which water options does the model offer, which guide explains ordinary dispensing, and who handles its upkeep?
A filtering label or care arrangement is not a household water-quality finding or a hot-water unlocking guide.
Could you explain the cold, filtered and hot-water labels on this purifier and tell me who manages its maintenance?
이 정수기의 냉수·정수·온수 표시를 설명해 주시고, 필터 관리와 점검은 누가 담당하는지 알려 주실 수 있나요?

The line, modem and router have different roles
The internet line is the service connection to the home. A modem links an incoming provider connection with home-network equipment; a router shares a connection with your devices, often through Wi-Fi. These roles may be combined in one box, and some buildings do not have a separate modem in the room.
A network name and two passwords
The Wi-Fi name, or SSID, identifies the network to select. Its connection password is used to join that network; an administrator password is used for equipment settings. Knowing guest connection details does not mean you should change the equipment.

Package receiving and lockers 택배 수령·보관함
A parcel may be left at a building’s designated receiving point, a locker or another location named in the delivery notice. Apartment lockers and public parcel lockers can have different operators and rules. Find the actual receiving arrangement first.
Applies to: Parcel and locker vocabulary plus local enquiries. No universal locker controls, code entry, current fee or collection deadline.
Keep in mind: Keep room numbers, delivery codes and entry information private. Do not open another person’s compartment or force a locked or restricted facility.

Find the receiving point and its operator
Delivery and collection are separate stages
A notice may name a designated parcel area, an office or a locker. 보관 means storage and 수령 means receiving or collecting. A delivery notification describes its stated stage; it does not prove that you personally collected the parcel.
Public and apartment lockers can use different systems
A 택배보관함 is managed by a particular operator. Public-locker examples do not supply an apartment locker’s controls, fees, collection period or access process. Use the instructions for the actual receiving point.
Everyday tips
Useful things to check
Match the location in the notification
Read your own notice privately and identify the named receiving point. If the name or location is unclear, ask the host, manager or actual operator before looking for a compartment.
Use the posted collection and support route
Check the current operator name, collection instructions and support contact at the relevant facility. Keep delivery and entry codes private; do not force a compartment or open another person’s storage.
Find the right next step
Ask with a clear question
Who to ask
Ask the host or manager about the designated parcel area. For an operator-managed locker, use the contact posted by that actual operator.
숙소 운영자나 관리인에게 지정 택배 장소를 확인하세요. 운영사가 관리하는 보관함은 해당 운영사가 게시한 문의처를 이용하세요.
Which location is named in the delivery notice, who manages it, and where are its current collection instructions?
A public-locker example does not supply apartment controls, access codes, current charges or a collection confirmation.

Waste and recycling 분리배출·생활쓰레기
Household waste can follow general-waste, food-waste, recycling or large-item routes. The applicable bags, collection place, days and preparation rules depend on the local district and building. Start with the current local notice.
Applies to: Waste-route vocabulary and ways to find the applicable rules. No nationwide collection schedule, bag rule, fee or automatic item classification.
Keep in mind: Do not assume that a bag from another district, a food-like item or a printed recycling symbol alone settles the local disposal route. Batteries, hazardous items and large items can need separate guidance.

Find the current local route for each waste item
Start with the route names
General waste, 음식물쓰레기 food waste, 재활용 recycling and large items can have separate routes. These names help you find the relevant section of a local notice; they do not automatically classify an item or supply a bag rule.
The current local notice supplies the usable detail
Look for the category, bag or collection system, place and stated day/time. District guidance and the building’s collection arrangement need to match your location. The Seoul handbook gives context, not a current schedule for every home in Korea.
Everyday tips
Useful things to check
Check the arrangement before buying bags
Ask the host or office which local bags or collection system apply and where the current instructions are posted. Do not assume another district’s bag or another building’s timetable applies.
Ask about the actual uncertain item
Use the local official sorting guide for the item itself. A food-like appearance or recycling symbol is not enough to settle the route. Ask separately about large items, batteries or other items needing special guidance.
Find the right next step
Ask with a clear question
Who to ask
Ask the host or management office for the building’s current notice, then use the applicable district’s official sorting and collection guidance.

Management fees, office and notices 관리비·관리실·안내문
관리비 is a building-fee statement or charge. It can include shared management items and separate usage items such as water, electricity or heating. The management office or responsible operator can explain a notice, item and relevant contact.
Applies to: Fee-category and notice-reading vocabulary. No bill validation, tenancy obligation, repair-cost liability or legal decision.
Keep in mind: Keep detailed bills, addresses and account identifiers private. A wallpad figure, guide article or generic category does not establish the final amount or who must pay.

Shared management and usage items are different categories
K-apt’s example categories place cleaning, 청소비, and security, 경비비, under shared management. Its individual usage categories include heating, hot water, electricity and water. These names help you read a statement; the issuer explains which items and allocation apply to your building.
A notice tells you a subject, action and contact
On an 안내문, look for the date, affected service, any stated resident action and the contact. A notice announcing an inspection or work is different from confirmation that it was completed. Ask about the specific notice rather than assuming the building’s current condition.
Everyday tips
Useful things to check
Ask about one line and its period
Use the item name and ask which period, unit or allocation it covers. Keep the detailed bill, amount and account identifiers on your own copy; the guide does not validate the statement or calculate payment.
Find the contact for the actual enquiry
Ask who explains the fee, clarifies the notice or schedules a repair enquiry. Contract terms and appropriate official advice address responsibility; the category name alone does not decide who pays for a repair.
Find the right next step
Ask with a clear question
Who to ask
Ask the statement issuer or management office about a fee item or notice. Ask the responsible operator which contact handles a repair enquiry.
