Questions & Answers about chekeuaus huedo robi hyugesireseo daegihal su isseoyo.
What does the -도 in 후에도 add? What changes if I drop it?
- -도 adds the idea of “even/also,” giving a slight emphasis: “even after checkout.”
- Without it (체크아웃 후에…), it’s a neutral “after checkout,” with no extra emphasis.
- So 후에도 can imply “It’s still allowed even after that point,” which sounds a bit more reassuring or contrastive.
Why is it 에서 and not 에 in 로비 휴게실에서?
- 에서 marks the location where an action happens. Waiting is an action, so 에서 is used.
- 에 marks location of existence or destination. You’d use 에 with verbs like 있다 (to be): 로비 휴게실에 있어요 = “(I) am in the lobby lounge.”
What’s the nuance difference between 대기하다 and 기다리다?
- 대기하다 = “to wait” in a formal/official context (announcements, signage, customer-facing language). It sounds more institutional.
- 기다리다 = everyday “to wait.”
- In a hotel notice, 대기하다 sounds natural; in casual speech, 기다리다 is more common.
Is 로비 휴게실 natural? Would people say something else?
- It’s understandable, but hotels more often say 로비 라운지 or simply 로비.
- Natural alternatives:
- 체크아웃 후에도 로비 라운지에서 대기할 수 있어요.
- 체크아웃 후에도 로비에서 기다리실 수 있어요.
