How to say “let’s” in Korean Posted by on Feb 1, 2016 in Uncategorized

There are about three ways to say “Let’s” in Korean. Today, you are going to learn “자/ Ja” which is appropriated using in informal situation; you don’t want to use to older people or stranger. This is good to have with your friend. The grammar pattern is “V.S. + 자”. It is always good to learn new grammar pattern using the examples. Please study the examples below for recognizing the 자.

To eat 먹다

먹다 + 자 = 먹자 Let’s eat!

To go 가다

가다 + 자 = 가자 Let’s go!

To watch 보다

보다 + 자 = 보자  Let’s watch!

To sleep 자다

자다 + 자 = 자자 Let’s go to bed!

To study 공부하자

공부하다 + 자 = 공부하자 Let’s study!

*Infinitive is very important learning Korean because there are a lot of way to say with variety of verb ending. Therefore, you should know where it comes from and I am trying to post the infinitives in each blog.
