The Korean expression 이거 어디까지 올라가는 거예요 means “How high does this go?” or “To what extent does this go?” and is often used in two related ways:

• Asking about physical height or level (e.g., a structure, height of a hill, or a measurement).
• Asking about a figurative limit or progression (e.g., how far something can escalate, how high something can go in a trend or process).

Common nuances and regional pronunciation notes:

• In standard Seoul Korean, the intonation tends to fall at the end of the question, especially in formal contexts.
• In 경상도 (Gyeongsang) dialect, there can be a rising intonation toward the end, which many listeners perceive as characteristic of the regional speech.

Usage examples:

• 이 다리의 높이가 어느 정도예요? (What is the height of this bridge, roughly?)
• 이 문제의 난이도는 어디까지 올라가는 거예요? (How difficult can this problem get / how high can this go?)
• 이 거래의 가치가 어디까지 올라갈 수 있을까요? (How far can the value of this deal go?)

Notes on formality and politeness:

• 더 존댓말로 묻고 싶으면 “이거 어디까지 올라가는 거예요?”처럼 다정하고 일반적인 존댓말을 사용합니다.
• 보다 격식 있게 말하고 싶으면 “이것이 어디까지 올라갈 수 있습니까?”처럼 더 공손한 표현이 가능합니다.
