📝 Essential Vocabulary

🔍 Grammar Focus

This dialogue features two very common and useful grammar patterns for making suggestions and talking about the future.

1. Asking for an Opinion or Suggesting: -(으)ㄹ까(요)?

This ending is used to ask for someone’s opinion or to make a suggestion, similar to “Shall I/we…?” or “What if…?” in English.

• If the verb stem ends in a vowel or ㄹ, you add -ㄹ까(요)?
• If the verb stem ends in a consonant (other than ㄹ), you add -을까(요)?

Look at these examples from the dialogue:

• 민준: 아… 그럼 무슨 옷을 입을까?
  (Minjun: Ah… Then what clothes should I wear?) Here, Minjun uses 입다 (to wear) + -을까 to ask for Seoyeon’s opinion on what he should wear.

• 민준: 응. 반바지를 입을까?
  (Minjun: Yes. Should I wear shorts?) Again, he is suggesting an idea and asking for feedback.

• 서연: 우리 2시에 만날까?
  (Seoyeon: Shall we meet at 2?) Seoyeon uses 만나다 (to meet) + -ㄹ까 to suggest a meeting time.

2. Expressing Future Intention/Prediction: -(으)ㄹ 거야/거예요

This pattern expresses a future intention (“I will…” or “I’m going to…”) or a prediction/supposition (“It will probably be…”).

• If the verb or adjective stem ends in a vowel or ㄹ, you add -ㄹ 거야/거예요.
• If the stem ends in a consonant (other than ㄹ), you add -을 거야/거예요.

Let’s see how it’s used in the conversation:

• 서연: 아니, 아니. 반소매 티셔츠는 추울 거야.
  (Seoyeon: No, no. A short-sleeved t-shirt will be cold.) Seoyeon predicts that wearing a short-sleeved shirt will be a cold experience because of the wind. (From 춥다: 춥 + 을 거야 -> 추울 거야)

• 민준: 신발은 운동화를 신을 거야.
  (Minjun: For shoes, I’ll wear sneakers.) Minjun states his intention to wear sneakers. (From 신다: 신 + 을 거야 -> 신을 거야)

• 서연: 나? 나는 따뜻한 스웨터를 입을 거야.
  (Seoyeon: Me? I’m going to wear a warm sweater.) Seoyeon states her plan for what she will wear.
