Also spelled odurida

do something for someone (humble)

Marks an action as a service performed for a person the speaker is treating with respect — showing you something, sending it to you, recommending, telling you, giving money back. The plain-level version of the same idea is 어 주다; swapping in 어 드리다 lowers the speaker relative to the person receiving the favour. It saturates shop, hotel, and broadcast speech, where the two most familiar lines in the world are "how can I help you?" and "shall I remove the tag?".

Register: polite and humble; service and broadcast speech
