What Koreans really mean
When used alone as a question, '어디?' often implies 'Where are you?' or 'Where is it?' in a casual context. It's perfectly fine to use with friends, family, or people younger than you. However, to an elder or stranger, it's more polite to add an honorific ending like '어디세요?' or '어디예요?'.
💬 Used in real life
• A child asks '어디?' when they can't find their toy.
• When calling a friend, you might ask '지금 어디?' to know their current location.
