Requests, Suggestions & Review

Two last patterns — and a discovery: you've actually been using one of them since Lesson 5 without knowing it. Then, one long conversation using everything from the Intermediate course.

Before you start

The same rule, one more time

By now this shape should feel familiar: batchim on the stem gets a buffer vowel, no batchim doesn't.

가다 → 가세요

-세요 = polite request

"Please go" is 가세요 — the exact phrase from 안녕히 가세요 in Lesson 5. You were already using this pattern; now you know why it's shaped that way.

가다 → 갑시다

-(으)ㅂ시다 = "let's..."

Textbook-correct, but a little formal for daily chat — many Koreans just use -을까요? (Lesson 9) instead. Good to recognize, good to use sparingly.

Pick a verb
Please... (-세요)
💬 In real conversation, "같이 갈까요?" (shall we go together?) is far more common than "같이 갑시다." Save -읍시다 for formal announcements and textbooks.
