GRAMMAR

KOREANCLAS S 101.COM ABS OLUTE BEGI NNER S 1 #1 - WHAT S HOULD WE WATCH I N KOREA? 5

The Focus of This Lesson Is -ㄹ(을)까. 액션 영화 볼까? "Should we watch an action movie?"

We use the volitional form to express intention on the part of the speaker or to invite someone to do something in informal situations. Specifically, the speaker uses this form when asking someone whether he or she would like to do something with the speaker or with a group that includes the speaker. In English, we can translate this as "shall we...?" or "should we...?" In addition to inviting someone to do something, we also use it to ask for one's opinion, view, or appraisal about a certain fact. This form is a sentence ender.

Formation

-ㄹ/을까요? - (-l/eulkkayo) - standard politeness level -ㄹ/을까? - (-l/eulkka) - intimate politeness level I. We use -ㄹ까요? (-lkkayo?) with verbs that end in vowels.

For Example:

1. 보다 (boda) "to see," "to watch" 보 - verb stem 보 + ㄹ까요? (bo + lkkayo) 볼까요? (bolkkayo?) "Shall we watch?" (standard politeness level) 볼까? (bolkka?) "Shall we watch?" (intimate politeness level)

II. We use -을까요? (-eulkkayo?) with verbs that end in consonants. For Example:

1. 재미있다 (jaemiitda) "to be fun" or "to be interesting" 재미있 (jaemiit) - verb stem 재미있 + -을까요 (jaemiit) + (-eulkkayo?) 재미있을까요? (jaemiisseulkkayo?) "Will it be fun?"/"What do you think?" (standard politeness level) 재미있을까? (jaemiisseulkka?) "Will it be fun?"/"What do you think?" (intimate politeness level)

볼까?

In this lesson, we use -ㄹ(을)까 (l/eulkka) in the form of 볼까? (bolkka?). This uses the above grammar formation with the verb 보다 (boda), meaning "to see" or "to watch." Combined with that construction, we translate the phrase 볼까 (bolkka) as "should we see?" or "shall we see?"
