두 가지 말투 더

문장 뼈대 · 6분

해요 is the everyday polite form and it will carry you almost anywhere. But you will hear two others constantly, so you should recognise them.

-(스)ㅂ니다 — the formal one

News anchors, job interviews, army, announcements, presentations. Vowel stem takes ㅂ니다, consonant stem takes 습니다.

-고 있다 — happening right now

The equivalent of English *-ing*. Blessedly simple: it attaches to the bare stem with no vowel rules at all.
