KOREAN POLITE FORM (으) 십니다 / 십니까?

Hi guys, how are you? Welcome to this lesson. This time we will learn about Korean polite form. Korean people use 존댓말 (polite form) to talk with someone who is older or someone who is respected. For example when we talk with our teacher, we use polite form. It is just as a formal form in Korean language. In English, we only use one language to talk with everyone. But in Korean, there is also polite form language. Well, are you ready to learn? Let's start!



The 1st formula is: 

V +  십니다 / 십니까?


This formula is placed after verb ending with a vowel. V + 십니다 is used for narative sentences and 십니까? is used for interogative sentences. Look at the following examples:

<+> 언니가 방에서 공부하십니다
        (Eonniga bangeseo gongbuhasibnida)
        Sister studies at the room

<?> 언니가 방에서 공부하십니까?
       (Eonniga bangeseo gongbuhasibnikka?)
        Sister studies at the room?


<+> 어머니가 시장에서 사과를 사십니다
        (Eomoniga sijangeseo sagwareul sasibnida)
       Mother buys apples at the market

<?> 어머니가 시장에서 사과를 사십니까?
         (Eomoniga sijangeseo sagwareul sasibnikka?)
       Mother buys apples at the market?

Now we go on the 2nd formula:


V + 십니다 / 십니까?

This 2nd is placed after verb with consonant ending. Look at the following examples :

<+> 오빠가 도서관에서 책을 읽으십니다
        (Oppaga doseogwaneseo chaegeul ilgeusibnida)
        Brother read book at the library

<?> 오빠가 도서관에서 책을 읽으십니까?
       (Oppaga doseogwaneseo chaegeul ilgeusibnikka?)
        Brother read book at the library?

<+> 형이 모자를 입으십니다
        (Hyeongi mojareul ibeusibnida)
        Brother wears hat

<?> 형이 모자를 입으십니까?
       (Hyeongi mojareul ibeusibnikka?)
        Brother wears hat?
