When to use it
The easiest way to order when you cannot read the menu: point at the picture or the item and say it. It also works in shops, markets and cafés.
Watch out
이거 means “this one” (close to you). For something far away use 저거, and 그거 for something close to the listener. Always add 주세요; 이거 alone sounds like a bare demand.
