Description
Verb + (으)ㄹ게요 : 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. "I" must be the subject of the action (though it is also acceptable for suggestions where it can also be "we"). 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 전화할게요." | "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 잘게." | "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 이사할게." | "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 이사할게." | "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 갈게요" | "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 reinforcement, the ㄱ in 게 is pronounced as '께.' See page ' ㄹ grammar + ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅈ' for an explanation on the rule.
Morphology
(으)ㄹ 게(요) is etymologically an abbreviated form of (으)ㄹ 거예요, which derives from the prospective modifier (으)ㄹ plus 것 plus the copula 이다.
Conjugation Rule
| Pattern | Case | Example | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rule 1: | Verb + ㄹ게요 | If there is no 받침 or if the adjective/verb stem has ㄹ as a 받침 | 가다 → 갈게요 오다 → 올게요 전화하다 → 전화할게요 팔다 → 팔게요 |
| Rule 2: | Verb + 을게요 | If there is a 받침 at the end of the adjective/verb stem | 먹다 → 먹을게요 받다 → 받을게요 |
Sentence Examples
