Lesson 5

At a Cafe

Order drinks, ask about seating, and use cafe-related expressions.

~(으)ㄹ까요? vs ~(으)ㄹ게요 — Asking vs Deciding

~(으)ㄹ까요? asks the listener's opinion ('Shall I...?'). ~(으)ㄹ게요 states your own decision ('I'll...'). Example: 뭐 마실까요? (What shall we drink?) vs 커피 마실게요 (I'll drink coffee).

여기서 마실까요, 포장할까요?yeogiseo masilkkayo, pojanghalkkayo?Shall we drink here or take out?

여기서 마실게요.yeogiseo masilgeyoI'll drink here.

도 — Also / Too

도 replaces particles like 은/는, 이/가, 을/를 to mean 'also/too'. 저도 (me too), 커피도 (coffee too), 여기도 (here too).
