Detailed Grammar notes:
Processing keyword: ~면 어때 [myeon eottae] (How about if)
The expression ~면 어때 is a versatile phrase in Korean that means "How about if..." or "What if..." It's commonly used when suggesting an idea, proposing something, or asking for someone’s opinion about a hypothetical situation.
The structure of ~면 어때 consists of two main parts:
Component | Meaning | Example | Translation |
---|---|---|---|
Verb stem | - | 가다 (gada) | To go |
Conditional | If/When | 가면 (gamyeon) | If [you] go |
Suggestion | How about | 어때 (eottae) | What do you think? |
Full phrase | Suggestion | 가면 어때? (gamyeon eottae?) | How about if [you] go? |
The use of ~면 어때 reflects the polite and indirect way Koreans communicate suggestions. It is less direct than commanding someone to do something and shows consideration for the other person's feelings.
Using 어때요 instead of 어때 increases the level of politeness and is more suitable for formal or unfamiliar social settings.
