International negotiations in Korean

Navigating international negotiations in Korean requires diplomatic language that is precise yet flexible. The goal is to assert your position while leaving room for dialogue.

Key patterns:

  • 양해해 주시기 바랍니다 — "Please understand / Please allow for..." — a polite way to request tolerance or leeway.
  • 조율이 필요합니다 — "Coordination / adjustment is needed" — signals openness to compromise without conceding.
  • 저희 측의 입장은... — "Our position is..." — clearly frames your stance in formal settings.
  • 상호 이익이 되는 방향으로 — "In a mutually beneficial direction" — a classic diplomatic framing.

Politeness levels: Use 합쇼체 (formal polite) throughout: -ㅂ니다 / -ㅂ니까? endings for statements and questions.

Tips:

  • Begin proposals with 먼저 (first) or 우선 (first of all) to sequence points clearly.
  • Use 혹시 (by any chance) to soften requests: 혹시 다른 제안이 있으시면... (If you happen to have other proposals...)

Veelgemaakte fouten

  • 저희 측 입장은 이렇습니다
    저희 측의 입장은 다음과 같습니다

    In formal negotiation Korean, 다음과 같습니다 (as follows) is more professional than 이렇습니다 (it is like this).

  • 양해하세요
    양해해 주시기 바랍니다

    양해하세요 is too abrupt for a formal setting; 양해해 주시기 바랍니다 is the appropriate deferential form.

  • 합의를 찾읍시다
    합의점을 찾아 보도록 하겠습니다

    찾읍시다 is an outdated volitional form; use 찾아 보도록 하겠습니다 for polished formal speech.

  • 협상이 잘 안 됩니다
    협상에 어려움이 있습니다

    잘 안 됩니다 is too colloquial; 어려움이 있습니다 (there are difficulties) is more appropriate in negotiations.

  • 우리가 원하는 건 타협이에요
    저희가 원하는 것은 상호 합의입니다

    우리/건 and -에요 are too informal for formal negotiations; use 저희/것은 and 합쇼체 (-입니다).
