Professional Korean for meetings, presentations, and workplace communication.
~(으)시겠습니까 — Would you (super formal question)
Verb stem + (으)시겠습니까 is the most formal way to ask someone to do something. Used in meetings, presentations, and formal settings. 시작하시겠습니까? (Shall we begin?) 검토해 주시겠습니까? (Would you review it?)
다음 안건으로 넘어가시겠습니까?daeum angeoneur neomeogasigesseumiikka?Shall we move on to the next agenda item?
자료를 확인해 주시겠습니까?jaryoreul hwaginhae jusigesseumiikka?Would you please check the materials?
~(으)면 좋겠습니다 / ~았/었으면 합니다 — I wish / I would like
Polite way to express wishes in business. ~(으)면 좋겠습니다 = It would be good if ~. ~았/었으면 합니다 = I wish / I would like ~. Both are softer than direct requests.
