Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
Eric: Hi everyone, I'm Eric.
Lyn: And I'm Lyn.
Eric: And welcome to Must-Know Korean Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 25. Offering a Polite Invitation.
Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use a sentence pattern for making a polite invitation.
PATTERN
Eric: For example,
Eric: "Shall we see a movie?"
Lyn: 영화 볼까요? (yeonghwa bolkkayo?)
Lyn: [slow] 영화 볼까요? (yeonghwa bolkkayo?)
Eric: The pattern for making a polite invitation has 3 elements. First, the noun, "movie."
Lyn: 영화 (yeonghwa).
Eric: Second, the verb stem, "to see."
Lyn: 보 (bo).
Eric: Third, the sentence ending. "shall we."
Lyn: ㄹ까요 (lkkayo).
Eric: Altogether, we have... "Shall we see a movie?"
Lyn: 영화 볼까요? (yeonghwa bolkkayo?) [slow] 영화 볼까요? (yeonghwa bolkkayo?) [normal] 영화 볼까요? (yeonghwa bolkkayo?)
Eric: When you want to make an invitation politely, you can use the phrase...
Lyn: ㄹ까요? - (-lkkayo?)
Eric: At the end of the sentence. This means something like "shall we...?" or "should we...?" When the verb-stem ends in a consonant, you can say… -을까요? (-eul kkayo?)
Eric: instead.
Lyn: 영화 볼까요? (yeonghwa bolkkayo?)
Eric: So remember that to invite someone to do something with you, simply ask by using the sentence ending
Lyn: ㄹ(을)까요? (l(eul) kkayo?).
Eric: Here is another example meaning, "Shall we have dinner?" First, the noun, "dinner."
Lyn: 저녁 (jeonyeok).
Eric: Second, the verb stem, "to eat."
Lyn: 먹 (meok).
Eric: Third, the sentence ending. "shall we."
Lyn: 을까요 (eulkkayo).
Eric: Note that we used this form because the verb-stem ends in a consonant. Altogether we have...
Lyn: 저녁 먹을까요? (jeonyeok meogeulkkayo?) [slow] 저녁 먹을까요? (jeonyeok meogeulkkayo?) [normal] 저녁 먹을까요? (jeonyeok meogeulkkayo?)
Eric: "Shall we have dinner?"
[pause]
Lyn: 저녁 먹을까요? (jeonyeok meogeulkkayo?)
Eric: How do you say - "Shall we drink coffee?" To give you a hint, the verb-stem "to drink" is...
Lyn: 마시 (masi). [slow] 마시 (masi). [normal] 마시 (masi).
Eric: "Shall we drink coffee?"
[pause]
Lyn: 커피 마실까요? (keopi masilkkayo?) [slow] 커피 마실까요? (keopi masilkkayo?) [normal] 커피 마실까요? (keopi masilkkayo?)
[pause]
Lyn: 커피 마실까요? (keopi masilkkayo?)
