Description
Verb + (으)ㅂ시다 : This grammar pattern is used formally to express a proposition, suggestion, or an order to a group of at least two speakers in which the speaker is included. This is equivalent to saying "Let's (verb)" in English.
Notes
- The informal and low form is V + 자
- Saying '길 좀 물읍시다' to a person can also mean 'give me directions' (as opposed to 'let's ask for directions'). This is usually used by people over 50 years old and can otherwise sound rude.
Conjugation Rule
| Pattern | Case | Example | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rule 1: | Verb + ㅂ시다 | If there is no 받침 or if the adjective/verb stem has ㄹ as a 받침 | 가다 → 갑시다 |
| Rule 2: | Verb + (으)ㅂ시다 | If there is a 받침 at the end of the adjective/verb stem | 먹다 → 먹읍시다 |
