Do you know how to make an invitation in Korean? |
Welcome to Three Step Korean Practice by KoreanClass101.com. In this lesson, you will practice how to make an invitation. |
Let’s look at the main dialogue. |
Two people are having a conversation. |
근처에 있는 해변에 산책하러 같이 갈까요? |
Geuncheoe inneun haebyeone sanchaekhareo gachi galkkayo? |
Shall we go take a walk at the nearby beach together? |
좋아요. |
Joayo. |
Sounds good. |
"갈까요? (galkkayo?)" is the structure used as part of inviting someone to do something in Korean. |
"까요 (kkayo)" is the polite form of the question ending to a verb. |
"갈 (gal)" is the conjugated form of the verb meaning "to go." It is conjugated with "~ㄹ (~l)," as the stem ends with a vowel sound. |
If the verb stem ends in a consonant, we conjugate with "~을 (~eul)" instead. |
Let’s practice with this grammar point more in this lesson. |

탈 (tal) |
탈 |
택시를 탈까요? |
Taeksireul talkkayo? |
Shall we take a taxi? |
택시를 탈까요? |
탈 is correct here because the root ends with a vowel sound, and so just ~ㄹ is added to the verb. |
Let's do another. Choose the best answer to complete the sentence. Ready? |
내일 영화 (볼 or 보을)까요? |
(Naeil yeonghwa (bol/boeul)kkayo?) |

볼 (bol) |
볼 |
내일 영화 볼까요? |
(Naeil yeonghwa bolkkayo?) |
Shall we watch a movie? |
내일 영화 볼까요? |
볼 is used here because 볼's root ends with a vowel, meaning just a ~ㄹ is added. |
Let's translate some sentences into Korean. Ready? |
Translate "Shall we get up early tomorrow morning?" into Korean. |
내일 (naeil). tomorrow. |
followed by |
아침에 (achime). morning. |
next |
일찍 (iljjik). early. |
followed by |
일어날까요 (ireonalkkayo)? Shall we get up? |
일어날 (ireonal) is the conjugated form of 일어나다 (ireonada), which means "to get up." The root of the verb, "일어나 (ireona)" ends in a vowel, so we conjugate it with just ㄹ (l). |
내일 아침에 일찍 일어날까요? |
(Naeil achime iljjik ireonalkkayo?) |
Shall we get up early tomorrow morning? |
내일 아침에 일찍 일어날까요? |
Translate "Shall we meet at a cafe tomorrow?" into Korean. |
내일 (naeil). tomorrow. |
followed by |
카페에서 (kapeeseo). cafe. |
next |
만날까요 (mannalkkayo)? Shall we meet? |
만날 (mannal) is used because the root of "만나다 (mannada)," "만나 (manna)," ends with a vowel. |
내일 카페에서 만날까요? |
(Naeil kapeeseo mannalkkayo?) |
Shall we meet at a cafe tomorrow? |
내일 카페에서 만날까요? |
Translate "Shall we eat at 6 in the evening?" into Korean. |
저녁 (jeonyeok). evening. |
followed by |
6시에 (yuksie). 6 o'clock. |
next |
밥을 (babeul). dinner. |
followed by |
먹을까요 (meogeulkkayo)? Shall we eat? |
The root of "먹다 (meokda)" is "먹 (meok)," and it ends in a consonant sound. So we add "~을 (eul)" to the end instead of just "ㄹ (l)." |
저녁 6시에 밥을 먹을까요? |
(Jeonyeok yuksie babeul meogeulkkayo?) |
Shall we eat at 6 in the evening? |
저녁 6시에 밥을 먹을까요? |

점심을 같이 먹을까요? |
(Jeomsimeul gachi meogeulkkayo?) |
