Today, you will learn the last way to say “Let’s” in Korean which is what I like to use a lot as a teacher. The grammar pattern is V.S. + 읍(ㅂ) 시다.  Using 읍시다 is not for you if you are not in higher level than others. For instance, teacher, boss, supervisor, manager can use 읍시다 to their employees and students.  As I teacher, I can say to my student, “let’s take a short break/잠깐 휴식합시다/ Jam Kan hue sik hab si da.” However, the students can’t say to me because it is rude to say to the teacher.  This blog is for your listening skills probably, not speaking.

To eat 먹다

먹다 + 읍시다 = 먹읍시다. Let’s eat!

To go 가다

가다 + ㅂ시다 = 갑시다. Let’s go!

To watch 보다 *irregular

보다 + ㅂ시다 = 봅시다.  Let’s watch!

To sleep 자다

자다 + ㅂ시다 = 잡시다. Let’s go to bed!

To study 공부하다

공부하다 + ㅂ시다 =  공부합시다. Let’s study!

*Reminder: you have use 읍시다 with consonant ending and ㅂ 시다 with vowel ending.
