거기에서 means there / at that place.

Here, 에서 marks the place where an action happens, so it fits with 기다려 (wait).

• 거기에서 기다려 = Wait there
• 에 is more often used for:
  • destination: 학교에 가요 = go to school
  • existence/location with 있다/없다: 학교에 있어요 = be at school

So in this sentence, 에서 is used because waiting is an action taking place at that location.

Yes. 거기에서 is very commonly shortened to 거기서 in everyday Korean.

So these mean essentially the same thing:

• 거기에서 우리 일행을 기다려.
• 거기서 우리 일행을 기다려.

The shorter form is extremely natural in speech.

일행 means the group of people traveling together, one’s party, or companions.

So 우리 일행 means:

• our group
• the people with us
• our party

It sounds a bit more specific than just 우리 or 우리들, because it refers to a group moving or acting together.

In Korean, 우리 is often used where English would naturally say my.

This is very common with things closely connected to the speaker, such as:

• 우리 엄마 = my mom
• 우리 집 = my house
• 우리 학교 = my school
• 우리 일행 = my/our group

So even if one person is speaking, 우리 can still sound natural. It often gives a feeling of shared belonging rather than individual possession.

을 is the object marker.

The verb 기다리다 (to wait for) takes a direct object in Korean, so the thing or person being waited for gets 을/를.

• 우리 일행을 기다려 = Wait for our group
• 친구를 기다려 = Wait for a friend
• 버스를 기다려 = Wait for the bus

English uses for, but Korean usually just marks the object directly.

That is just how the Korean verb works grammatically.

In English:

• wait for someone

In Korean:

• someone + 을/를 기다리다

So 기다리다 is treated as a transitive verb with a direct object.

Examples:

• 너를 기다려 = I’m waiting for you
• 택시를 기다려요 = I’m waiting for a taxi

A common beginner mistake is to try to add a Korean word meaning for, but with 기다리다, you normally do not need one.

기다려 is the informal, casual form of 기다리다.

It can be used as:

• a casual command: Wait
• a casual statement depending on context: (I/you) wait / am waiting

In this sentence, it is understood as a command:

• 거기에서 우리 일행을 기다려. = Wait there for our group.

This style is used with:

• close friends
• younger people
• children
• people you can speak casually to

You can make it more polite in several ways:

• 거기에서 우리 일행을 기다려요.
  Casual-polite, softer in conversation

• 거기에서 우리 일행을 기다리세요.
  Polite command

• 거기에서 우리 일행을 기다려 주세요.
  Please wait there for our group

If you are speaking to someone you should respect, 기다려 by itself may sound too blunt.

The subject is omitted, which is very normal in Korean.

In commands, the implied subject is usually you. So the sentence naturally means:

• (You) wait there for our group.

Korean often leaves out subjects when they are obvious from context.

Korean is basically an SOV language, which means the verb normally comes at the end of the sentence.

So the pattern here is:

• 거기에서 = place
• 우리 일행을 = object
• 기다려 = verb

Literally, it is closer to:

• There, our group, wait-for

That is normal Korean word order.

Yes. Korean word order is somewhat flexible as long as the particles make the roles clear.

These are both natural:

• 거기에서 우리 일행을 기다려.
• 우리 일행을 거기에서 기다려.

The difference is mostly emphasis:

• 거기에서 first emphasizes where
• 우리 일행을 first emphasizes whom to wait for

But the verb still normally stays at the end.

It means wait for our group there, not wait there with us.

Because:

• 우리 일행을 is marked as the object of 기다려
• so the group is what is being waited for

If you wanted wait there with us, you would need a different expression, such as one using 우리와 함께 or another structure depending on the situation.

Yes, but it is a little more specific than very basic vocabulary.

You often see 일행 when talking about:

• a travel group
• companions
• people moving together
• a party of guests

For example:

• 일행이 몇 분이세요? = How many are in your party?
• 일행과 함께 오세요. = Please come with your party.

So it is common, especially in travel, hospitality, and group situations, but it is not as general as a word like 사람들.

Yes, but the tone changes a little.

• 거기에서 = there, common and conversational
• 그곳에서 = at that place, a bit more formal or written

So:

• 거기에서 우리 일행을 기다려. sounds natural and spoken
• 그곳에서 우리 일행을 기다려. is understandable but slightly more formal or literary for casual speech

In everyday conversation, 거기에서 or 거기서 is usually the more natural choice.
