However, from what I've read, most scholars call it a "presumptive" suffix - for laypersons, the best way to think of this is with the English words "guess" or "presume". How wonderful that the Hangeul spelling, while not pronounced "guess" by itself, reflects an orthographic parallel (-gess). So 맛있겠다 from this perspective would be something like "I presume it'll be delicious". And I know you don't want to become too involved in grammar when it can be done otherwise, but "infix" is appropriate only when an affix can go into a root or stem to mark a specific function. And as far as I am aware, -겠 cannot be inserted into a root/stem, which would mean that this is a suffix rather than an infix. (Infixes are pretty rare world-wide, so it's not a serious error.) Just thought I'd give you a heads up about that. As a linguist, I’ve read a lot of papers on -겠, and it’s true that it’s one way to form the future.

Here in Chicago we only have one type of 김밥...plain. And instead of ham, it's a sliced hot dog. To get anything fancier you have to go to a japanese resturant and order maki. Maybe it's different in L.A. where they have like a BILLION more koreans (seriously...downtown L.A. is almost like Seoul but without subway stations) And 참치찌개??? Wow!!! I need to go back to Korea quick!!!!!! (or visit L.A. again...) I’m jealous… Here in Chicago we only have one type of 김밥…plain. And instead of ham, it’s a sliced hot dog.

Econimizing is good, but please try to make sure you have tasty food :) 그런데 저는 돈을 아껴야 할 (허리띠를 졸라매야 할) 때가 아니어도 ^^ "원조 김밥" 좋아해요. 맛있어요 ㅎㅎ But as for me, even when I don't have to economize ('tighten my belt'), I like the 'basic gimbap' anyway :) It's really good. Hehe. BTW, the word 원조 there originally means "original" or "authentic", but they call the cheapest gimbap in the menu the "원조김밥" because that's the 'basic' form of gimbap - before putting in anything extra ^_^ 미셸 : )

It's the future infix. :) As for your questions: 맛있겠다 is 맛있다 delicious with the future infix. Literally it's "it will be delicious." But its used when someone is looking that looks good... and says "that looks so good!" - That's why I think here it's best not to get mumbled up in the grammar and use it as a phrase :) 맛있을 것 같아요. is pretty much the same. Check out Lower Intermediate Lesson 2 for this grammar point -ㄹ/을 것 같아요. It's the presumptive future (meaning: I think it will probably be that..., i think I will...) So in this case, it would be.. "I think it'll be delicious" Both do the same thing :) The different nuance is that 맛있겠다 is more of an emphatic statement and 맛있을 것 같아 is more of a statement of opinion. Dang that explanation got kind of long and I don't know why. haha Seung-man you’re correct! -겠- indicates future. It’s the future infix. :)

(which is supposed to be the Korean way of crying, according to the recent newbie lesson?!?!?!) By the way, what does 맛있겠다 mean? I know 맛있다 of course, but I don't know that particular conjugation.
