Learn Korean “Have to…” Posted by on Jan 26, 2015 in Uncategorized

As you know that “Have to…” is high frequency pattern you need to know. There are two way to say this in Korean “- (해)야 되다/ (hae)ya dae da or ~(해)야 하다/(hae)ya ha da. I personally hear 되다 much more than 하다, but there is nothing wrong using 하다.   Please read examples below to understand how to use it.

I have to go now/ 지금 가야 돼요/gi gum ga ya dae yo.

To go/가다 ->가야

You have to come tomorrow/ 내일 와야 돼요. Nae il wa ya dae yo.

To come/오다 ->와야

I have to work early tomorrow/ 내일 일찍 일해야 돼요/ nae il il jjic wa ya dae yo.

To work/일하다 -> 일해야

Do you have to leave now?/ 지금 가야 돼요?/ji gum ga ya dae yo?

To leave/떠나다or가다

Do you have to make dinner? 저녁 만들어야 돼요?/jeo neok man deul eo ya dae yo?

To make/만들다
