In the previous week, you learned Korean ending verb; “How is (it)?/ (이/가) 어때요?/(e ga) eo ddae yo?” In this week, you will learn how to answer the question.  아요/어요/해요/a yo/eo yo/ hae yo is verb ending suffix. You can add these verb suffixes after infinitive of action and descriptive verbs.  You can add 아요 after ㅏand ㅗ vowels, and add 어요 after all other vowels. For instance, 좋다/jo ta/good/ becomes 좋아요. 싫다/sil ta/hate becomes 싫어요.   You have to learn this because Korean do not use infinitives in speaking.  Please see the dialog below.

1. 날씨가 어때요?/nal ssi ga eo ddae yo/how’s weather?
2. 좋아요./jo a yo/good

1. 음식이 어때요?/eum sik e eo ddae yo/how’s food?
2. 싫어요./sil eo yo/I hate it

해요 is after ㅎconsnant. For instance, 사랑한다/sa lang hand a/love you/ becomes 사랑해요/ sa lang hae yo/
