| Let's take a look at the sentence pattern. |
| Do you remember how the character said, |
| Erica, want to go to Namdaemun Market together this weekend? |
| 에리카 씨, 이번 주말에 남대문 시장에 같이 갈래요? (Erika ssi, ibeon jumare Namdaemun sijange gachi gallaeyo?) |
| 에리카 씨, 이번 주말에 남대문 시장에 같이 갈래요? (Erika ssi, ibeon jumare Namdaemun sijange gachi gallaeyo?) |
| This sentence follows the pattern here. |
| Verb -(으)ㄹ래요 (Verb stem + -(eu)l-laeyo?) |
| Do you want to [verb]? / Wanna [verb]? |
| This pattern is used to make casual or friendly suggestions. You use the verb stem, and if the stem ends in a consonant, you add -을래요. If it ends in a vowel, you add -ㄹ래요. It’s a polite but relaxed way to ask if someone wants to do something or to propose an idea. |
| Let’s see how the line from the dialogue follows this pattern. |
| 이번 주말에 남대문 시장에 같이 갈래요? |
| Let’s break down how it fits. |
| 이번 주말에 means “this weekend.” 이번 is “this,” and 주말 is “weekend.” The particle 에 marks the time. |
| 남대문 시장에 means “to Namdaemun Market.” 시장 is “market,” and 에 here shows destination. |
| 같이 means “together.” |
| 갈래요 is the focus. It comes from the verb 가다, meaning “to go.” The stem 가 ends in a vowel, so it takes -ㄹ래요, making 갈래요, which means “do you want to go” or “wanna go.” |
| Now let's look at some speaking examples. |
| 영화 볼래요? (Yeonghwa bollaeyo?) |
| Do you want to watch a movie? |
| Can you see how the pattern applies here? |
| Let's break it down: |
| Here, ‘볼래요’ comes from the verb 보다, meaning “to watch.” The verb stem 보- is combined with -ㄹ래요 to form 볼래요, which means “Do you want to watch?” This matches the Verb stem + -(으)ㄹ래요 part of the pattern. |
| The noun ‘영화’ means “movie.” It comes before the verb and tells us what the speaker wants to watch. |
| Here's another example |
| 주말에 같이 등산할래요? (Jumare gachi deungsanhalraeyo?) |
| Want to go hiking together this weekend? |
| 주말에 같이 등산할래요? (Jumare gachi deungsanhalraeyo?) |
| Want to go hiking together this weekend? |
| Let's try one more, |
| 내일 점심 먹을래요? (Naeil jeomsim meogeullaeyo?) |
| Want to have lunch tomorrow? |
| 내일 점심 먹을래요? (Naeil jeomsim meogeullaeyo?) |
| Want to have lunch tomorrow? |
| Another one. |
| 점심 먹고 카페에 갈래요? (Jeomsim meokgo kape-e gallaeyo?) |
| Want to go to a café after lunch? |
| 점심 먹고 카페에 갈래요? (Jeomsim meokgo kape-e gallaeyo?) |
| Want to go to a café after lunch? |
