Make it make sense
Useful pattern
The key verb is '되다' (doe-da), which means 'to become' or 'to be possible.' When you ask '주차 되나요?' (ju-cha doe-na-yo?), you're literally asking 'Does parking work?' or 'Is parking possible?' This is a very common and polite way to ask about availability. You can replace '주차' (ju-cha, parking) with other nouns to ask about other services, like '예약 되나요?' (ye-yak doe-na-yo? – Is reservation possible?). To ask if something is included, use '포함' (po-ham, inclusion) plus '이다' (i-da, to be). For example, '조식 포함인가요?' (jo-sik po-ham-in-ga-yo? – Is breakfast included?).
When to use it
Use '주차 되나요?' when you first arrive at a hotel, restaurant, or any building and want to know if you can park there. It's polite and works in most situations. If you're checking into a hotel and want to know if parking is part of your room rate, ask '주차 포함인가요?' (ju-cha po-ham-in-ga-yo?). If you're at a paid parking lot and want to know the cost, ask '주차 요금은 얼마예요?' (ju-cha yo-geum-eun eol-ma-ye-yo?). These phrases are all in polite formal speech (존댓말, jondaenmal), suitable for strangers and service interactions.
Listen to each line, then take one part and reply out loud.
저기요, 주차 되나요?
Excuse me, is parking available?jeo-gi-yo, ju-cha doe-na-yo?네, 주차장 있어요. 무료로 주차하실 수 있어요.
Yes, there is a parking lot. You can park for free.ne, ju-cha-jang i-sseo-yo. mu-ryo-ro ju-cha-ha-sil su i-sseo-yo.아, 그럼 주차 포함인가요?
Oh, then is parking included?a, geu-reom ju-cha po-ham-in-ga-yo?네, 숙박비에 포함되어 있어요.
Yes, it's included in the accommodation fee.ne, suk-bak-bi-e po-ham-doe-eo i-sseo-yo.A little context goes a long way
In Korea, parking availability varies widely. Large hotels and department stores usually have parking, but smaller restaurants or shops in busy areas may not. It's common to ask about parking before booking. Also, many places offer free parking for customers who spend a certain amount. Using polite language like '주차 되나요?' is important, especially with staff. If you're unsure, you can also ask '주차 가능해요?' (ju-cha ga-neung-hae-yo?), which is slightly more casual but still polite.
One thing to watch for
Using '주차 있어요?' (ju-cha i-sseo-yo?) to ask if parking is available.
Try this instead: '주차 있어요?' sounds like 'Do you have parking?' but it's less natural than '주차 되나요?' or '주차장 있어요?' '주차장 있어요?' specifically asks if there is a parking lot. For general availability, '주차 되나요?' is best. Example: '주차 되나요?' (Is parking possible?) is more idiomatic.
Your turn
Try answering out loud before checking a possible answer.
