LEVEL 1 LESSON 14
In our previous lesson, we learned how to say I

want to in Korean. In this lesson, we will

practice using the structure I want to in context through more sample conversations.

First, lets look at

5 verbs. Dont worry if they are new to you. At this point, knowing how to

use them is more important than memorizing each and every one of them.

[ha-da] = to do [bo-da] = to see [meok-da] = to eat [sa-da] = to buy [ma-si-da] = to drink


Do you remember how to change a verb into the I want to + verb form?

+ +
Yes. [da] disappears and you add [go si-peo-yo] after the verb.

--> [ha-go si-peo-yo] = I want to do ... --> [bo-go si-peo-yo] = I want to see ... --> [meok-go si-peo-yo] = I want to eat ... --> [sa-go si-peo-yo] = I want to buy ... --> [ma-si-go si-peo-yo] = I want to drink ...
