| INTRODUCTION |
| Dana: Hi, everyone. I'm Dana. |
| Jaehwi: And I'm Jaehwi. |
| Dana: And welcome to Must-Know Korean Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 37 - Requesting Permission. |
| Dana: In this lesson, you'll learn a sentence pattern for requesting permission. |
| PATTERN |
| Dana: For example... |
| Dana: "May I come in?" |
| Jaehwi: 들어가도 될까요? (deureulgado doelkkayo?) |
| Jaehwi: [slow] 들어가도 될까요? (deureulgado doelkkayo?) |
| Dana: The pattern for requesting permission has 3 elements. First, there’s the verb stem plus the connective particle, |
| Jaehwi: 아/어/여 도 (a/eo/yo do). |
| Jaehwi: 들어가도 (deureulgado). |
| Dana: Second, the verb stem (possible). |
| Jaehwi: 되 (dwe). |
| Dana: Third, there’s the particle (requesting permission). |
| Jaehwi: -ㄹ까요 (lkkayo). |
| Dana: All together, we have "May I come in?" |
| Jaehwi: 들어가도 될까요? (deureulgado doelkkayo?) [slow] 들어가도 될까요? (deureulgado doelkkayo?) [normal] 들어가도 될까요? (deureulgado doelkkayo?) |
| Dana: The phase… |
| Jaehwi: ~아/어/여 도 (a/eo/yo do) ~ㄹ까요 (lkkayo) |
| Dana: is used when asking permission to do something. The sentence starts with the action that you are requesting permission for, so you would add the connective particle… |
| Jaehwi: 아/어/여 도 (a/eo/yo do). |
| Dana: after the verb stem. It’s followed by… |
| Jaehwi: doelkkayo, which is a phrase used to ask for permission. |
| Jaehwi: 들어가도 될까요? (deureulgado doelkkayo?) |
| Dana: So remember, use the formula: verb plus |
| Jaehwi: 아/어/여 도 될까요 (a/eo/yo do doelkkayo) |
| Dana: when requesting permission to do an action. |
| Dana: Here’s another example, meaning "May I make a call?" First, you say the verb stem plus the connective particle… |
| Jaehwi: 아/어/여 도 (a/eo/yo do). |
| Jaehwi: 전화해도 (jeonhwahaedo). |
| Dana: Second, add the verb stem (possible). |
| Jaehwi: 되 (dwe). |
| Dana: Third, say the particle (requesting permission). |
| Jaehwi: -ㄹ까요 (lkkayo). |
| Dana: All together, we have... |
| Jaehwi: 전화해도 될까요? (jeonhwahaedo doelkkayo?) [slow] 전화해도 될까요? (jeonhwahaedo doelkkayo?) [normal] 전화해도 될까요? (jeonhwahaedo doelkkayo?) |
| Dana: "May I make a call?" |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: 전화해도 될까요? (jeonhwahaedo doelkkayo?) |
| Dana: How do you say "May I eat?" To give you a hint, "eat" is... |
| Jaehwi: 먹다 (meogda). [slow] 먹다 (meogda). [normal] 먹다 (meogda). |
| Dana: "May I eat?" |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: 밥 먹어도 될까요? (bap meogeodo doelkkayo) [slow] 밥 먹어도 될까요? (bap meogeodo doelkkayo) [normal] 밥 먹어도 될까요? (bap meogeodo doelkkayo) |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: 밥 먹어도 될까요? (bap meogeodo doelkkayo) |
