Questions & Answers about naeil yeonghwareul bwayo.
What does 내일 mean and why is it placed at the beginning of the sentence?
내일 means “tomorrow.” In Korean, time expressions (like 오늘 “today,” 어제 “yesterday,” 내일 “tomorrow”) often go at the front of the sentence to set the temporal context before the subject and verb.
What is the function of 영화를 and why is -를 attached to 영화?
영화 means “movie,” and -를 is the object marker used after a noun ending in a vowel. It indicates that the movie is the direct object of the verb 보다 (“to see/watch”).
How does 봐요 relate to the dictionary form 보다, and why isn’t it 보아요?
봐요 is the polite present tense of 보다. Normally you’d add -아요 after a verb stem ending in ㅗ (보 + 아요 = 보아요), but 보아요 contracts to 봐요 for ease of pronunciation.
What level of politeness is 봐요, and when would you use it?
봐요 is in the 해요체 (polite informal) style. It’s polite enough for strangers, colleagues, or someone slightly older than you, but not as formal as 봅니다 (the 합쇼체/formal style).
