How to Say ‘A Glass of Cold Water, Please’ in Korean – Beat the Summer Heat Politely

Feeling drained by the summer heat?

Cool down the Korean way by asking for a refreshing glass of water:

Graphic teaching the Korean phrase siwonhan mulhanjan juseyo, meaning please give me a glass of cold water, over a hanok wall and gate framed by autumn trees

“Siwonhan mul han jan juseyo” (시원한 물 한 잔 주세요)

“Siwonhan” means cool and refreshing, and “juseyo” is a polite way to say please give.

Vocabulary slide listing siwon (cool) and mulhanjan (a glass of water) beside a photo of a stone turtle fountain spouting water into a carved basin

Use this phrase at restaurants, cafes, or anywhere you need a chill break — you’ll not only get your water, but also win smiles for your polite Korean!
