Explanation

표 means ticket, 어디에서 means “where,” and 사요 means “buy.” 표를 어디에서 사요? is a clear question for a station, museum, cinema, or event.

를 marks 표 as the object being bought. 에서 marks the place where the buying action happens.

You may hear 매표소, meaning ticket office, or 자동판매기, meaning vending machine. If you point to a machine, staff can guide you.

Use 표를 살 수 있어요? when you need to ask whether tickets are available at all.

A: Where can I buy tickets for the exhibition?

B: 저기 매표소에서 사요.

B: Buy them at the ticket office over there.

Common mistakes

  • 사요 with 표 means “buy”; 살아요 with a place means “live.”
  • Use 에서 because buying is an action done at the location.

How to practice

  1. Useful when the ticket office is not obvious.
  2. 사요 can mean “buy” or “live” depending on spelling and context; here the object 표 makes “buy” clear.
