확인 부탁드립니다, 검토 부탁드립니다 뜻: workplace asks

A pushiness-meter + context→ask→deadline slots teach 확인 부탁드립니다 alternatives that sound firm but not bossy across hierarchies.

The safe default sentence

가능하실 때 확인 부탁드립니다.ganeunghasil ttae hwagin butakdeuripnida. — When you have a moment, please check.

In a Korean workplace, “softening” isn’t about being vague—it’s about sounding cooperative while still moving work forward. I learned this the hard way in my first Seoul office: my literal “please check ASAP” translation got the job done, but it read sharper than I intended.

Next steps

Use this checklist before you hit send:

  • Add the object: what exactly should they check/review? (첨부드린 파일cheombudeurin pail, 초안choan, 수정본sujeongbon, 일정 변경 사항iljeong byeongyeong sahang)
  • Match the verb to the task: 확인hwagin = verify/acknowledge, 검토geomto = review/feedback
  • Set a real deadline: prefer 내일까지naeilkkaji / 금주까지geumjukkaji for days; use 전까지jeonkkaji only with a specific time (내일 오전 10시 전까지naeil ojeon 10si jeonkkaji)
  • Choose hierarchy-safe softeners when needed: 번거로우시겠지만beongeorousigetjiman, 가능하실까요?ganeunghasilkkayo?
  • Give an “out” for high urgency: ask for an alternate time instead of pushing harder
  • Keep spacing clean in formal lines: 확인 부탁드립니다hwagin butakdeuripnida, 검토 부탁드립니다geomto butakdeuripnida

Mini quiz (fill in the blank)

  1. You need feedback on an email draft: 메일 초안 ____ 부탁드립니다.meil choan ____ butakdeuripnida.
  2. You are asking for confirmation by a specific time: 내일 오전 10시 ____ 확인 부탁드립니다.naeil ojeon 10si ____ hwagin butakdeuripnida.
  3. You are asking a client to check the attached file (keep it polite): 번거로우시겠지만 ____ 확인 부탁드립니다.beongeorousigetjiman ____ hwagin butakdeuripnida.

Answers:

  1. 검토geomto
  2. 까지kkaji / 전까지jeonkkaji
  3. 첨부드린 파일cheombudeurin pail

Notes:

  • Q1: 검토geomto is used when you want a careful read and feedback, which fits a draft review.
  • Q2: 까지kkaji and 전까지jeonkkaji both work with a concrete time; 전까지jeonkkaji sounds slightly more like “before,” but the practical meaning is similar here.
  • Q3: 첨부드린 파일cheombudeurin pail clearly states what to check, and it fits naturally after 번거로우시겠지만beongeorousigetjiman without needing an extra particle.
