Description
Verb + (으)ㄹ 게요 : This pattern is used for the future tense. Even by native Korean speakers, the 게요 is often mispelled as 께요. This pattern has several restrictions, see the notes below.
Notes
- This pattern is restricted to first person usage.
- To make this the low form(반말) simply drop the 요 ending.
- This pattern can only be used as a statement and cannot be used as a question.
- This pattern must be used in a way to where the other person you are speaking to is somewhat related to the situation you are describing with the verb. See below:
- This pattern should be used when the action relates to the listener(s) directly or if it's for the listener(s)' sake.
| Situation | Korean | English | Comment | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two people talking on the phone | "내일 전화할 게요." | I'll call you tomorrow | Telling the other person you will call is done for the listener's sake | 
|
| Two people chatting on the internet | "내가 먼저 잘 게." | "I'm going to bed(sleep) first." | The relationship between the speakers is that they are currently talking to each other, by going to sleep, they will no longer be talking. |
|
| The speaker is telling a random friend that he is going to move next week. |
"다음 주에 내가 이사할 게." | "I'm moving next week." | There is no relationship between the person moving and the listener knowing, so "다음 주에 내가 이사할 거야." sounds more natural. |
|
| The speaker is telling his roommate he is going to move next week. | "다음 주에 내가 이사할 게." | "I'm moving next week." | Since it's his roommate, there is a direct relation because they won't be living together anymore. |
|
| General conversation | "영희가 갈 게요" | "Young Hee is leaving." | This pattern can only be used in the first person form, so "영희가 갈 거예요" should be used. |
|
Pronunciation
- Due to consonant assimilation rules, the ㄱ in 게 gets pronounced as '께.' See page ' ㄹ grammar + ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅈ' for an explanation on the rule.
Conjugation Rule
| Pattern | Case | Example | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rule 1: | Verb + ㄹ 게요 | If there is no 받침 or if the adjective/verb stem has ㄹ as a 받침 | 가다 → 갈 게요 오다 → 올 게요 전화하다 → 전화할 게요 팔다 → 팔 게요 |
| Rule 2: | Verb + 을 게요 | If there is a 받침 at the end of the adjective/verb stem | 먹다 → 먹을 게요 받다 → 받을 게요 |
Sentence Examples
| Korean | English | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 나중에 전화 할게. | I'll call you later. | Low form (반말) |
| 내 친구 소개시켜 줄게요. | I'll introduce my friend to you. | Informal polite |
| 맥주 마시러 갈래? 내가 살게. | Do you wanna go grab a beer? It's on me. | Low form (반말) |
| 가방 들어 줄게요. | Let me give you a hand with your luggage. | Informal polite |
| 기다릴게. | I'm waiting for you. | Low form (반말) |
