지시하다 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Notice that 지시하다 contains the syllable “지시,” which sounds like “instruction” in English. Imagine “지시” as the “instruction” part and “하다” as “to do,” so it literally means “to do instruction” or “to instruct.”
• Associate it with authoritative figures (like a boss or teacher) giving clear commands.

Explanation:
• 지시하다 means “to instruct” or “to direct” someone to carry out a task.
• It is a verb formed by adding 하다 (“to do”) to 지시, meaning “instruction.”
• This verb is used in contexts where someone is giving orders, directives, or specific instructions.
