Please help me translate "공덕 역에서 내리시면 됩니다."
공덕 역에서 내리시면 됩니다.
So... I know this says something about getting off at Gongdeog station but I am not able to figure out the verb construction to get a good translation into English. I think it means something like "You have to get off at Gongdeog station". Is that the best translation?
Could you please explain the verb construction for me?
Thanks!
