Questions & Answers about hotere dochakhamyeon yeyakhan bangeuro gaseyo.

What does -면 mean in 도착하면?

The suffix -면 attaches to a verb stem to express “if” or “when.” Here, 도착하다 (to arrive) becomes 도착하면, meaning “when/if you arrive.”

Why is it 호텔에 도착하면 and not 호텔로 도착하면?

The verb 도착하다 (to arrive) takes the particle 에 to mark the destination or endpoint: 호텔에 도착하다 means “to arrive at the hotel.” The particle 로 is typically used to indicate a route or direction for movement, but 도착하다 specifically pairs with 에 for “arriving at.”

What’s the difference between 방에 and 방으로, and why is 방으로 used here?

방에 would mark a static location (“in the room”), while 방으로 (using the particle -으로) indicates movement toward the room. Since the sentence is telling someone to go to the room, 방으로 가세요 is appropriate: “go toward the room.”

What does 예약한 do in 예약한 방? Is it a tense?
