Meaning

What time is check-out?

몇 시 means “what time.” 은/는 marks the topic of the sentence, like “as for ~.”

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

Syllables: 9 · Words: 3

In natural speech, sounds link and shift across words. The table below reads each word separately, as it sounds when said on its own.

Syllable	Letters (consonant + vowel + final)	Romanization
체크아웃은
체	ㅊ+ㅔ	che
크	ㅋ+ㅡ	keu
아	ㅇ+ㅏ	a
웃	ㅇ+ㅜ+ㅅ	[우] u
은	ㅇ+ㅡ+ㄴ	[슨] seun
몇	ㅁ+ㅕ+ㅊ	[멷] myeot
시예요
시	ㅅ+ㅣ	si
예	ㅇ+ㅖ	ye
요	ㅇ+ㅛ	yo

A ㅇ at the start of a syllable is silent; at the end of a syllable it sounds like “ng”.

Linking: when a syllable ending in a consonant (patchim) is followed by a syllable that starts with a vowel, the consonant moves over to the next syllable. 웃은 → [우슨]
Final-sound reduction: every final consonant is pronounced as one of seven sounds — ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅁ, ㅂ or ㅇ. 몇 → [멷]

Style: Polite (해요체)Sentence type: Question

Ends in -요. The everyday polite style, and a safe choice with shop staff, colleagues, strangers and anyone older than you.
