Well, please is a complicated thing in Korean, and it is common for Koreans to forget to say please in English because of that.



주세요 (joo-say-yo) does literally mean "please give me," but it can also b added to other verbs to form a sort of "please do." The thing is, the 세요 (say-yo) is a polite command form, so you can kinda use that in place of please, or you can even use 십시오 (sheep-she-oh) to be extra formal.



부탁합니다 (boo-tahk-ham-ni-da) basically is a very polite form of saying "I request of you". It's not used as a substitute for please in everyday conversation.



제발 (che-bahl) is please as in "please, I beg you" or something similar to that. It's kind of asking please almost too much, like "puh-leez!"



I hope that sorts it out for you.

What the person above me said is wrong on first word.



This word is wrong because joo-say-yo is basically asking someone to give something to you. For example, you ask a person to give you a paper. you say "jonge joo-say-yo"

juseyo

pronounce:joo-say-yo



This word is correct but its formal.

putakhamnida

pronouce: pootak-ham-nee-da.

This word is mostly used for very difficult or high job.





Another word is jae bal. 제발

It can be both used as formal and informal depending on if your adding the ending. For example, jae bal 제발 (informal) jae bal yo 제발요(formal)



This word is perfect for asking someone to do something for you.
