Meaning

Where do I pay?

Useful when it is not obvious where to pay, as in small shops and markets. 어디서 means “where (at).”

Romanization follows the Revised Romanization system and is a guide to pronunciation.

Ask this in a shop or café when you can’t find the register. Note that in many Korean restaurants you pay at the counter by the door after eating.

에서 marks where an action happens, so it’s 어디서 (= 어디에서), not 어디에 계산해요. 계산 is the everyday word for paying.
