Questions & Answers about naeil baekhwajeome gayo.

Why is there no subject in this sentence?

In Korean, it’s common to omit the subject when it’s clear from context. Here, the implied subject is I (저/나), so you don’t have to say it explicitly.

What does 내일 mean and why is it at the beginning?

내일 means “tomorrow.” In Korean, time expressions often come first to set the temporal context before the rest of the sentence.

Why do we use 백화점에 and not just 백화점?

The particle -에 marks the destination (“to”). Without -에, it would be ambiguous whether you mean “at the department store” or merely mentioning it.

What’s the difference between the particles -에 and -에서 with places?

-에 indicates direction or destination (“to the department store”).
-에서 indicates the location of an action (“at the department store, I shop”).

What form of speech level is 가요?

가요 is the polite informal present tense of 가다 (“to go”). It’s suitable for everyday conversation with strangers or acquaintances.

Why is a present tense verb used when talking about tomorrow?

In Korean, you often use the present tense to describe planned future actions. 내일 백화점에 가요 literally reads “(I) go to the department store tomorrow,” but it conveys “I will go tomorrow.”

Could you make this sentence more formal?

Yes. You can use the formal polite ending -ㅂ니다:
내일 백화점에 갑니다.

Could you make it more casual?

Sure. With close friends or younger people, you can drop the polite ending:
내일 백화점에 가.

Is there any nuance difference between 가요 and 갈 거예요?

Yes.
가요 states your plan straightforwardly in present tense style.
갈 거예요 uses the future construction “will go,” making the future intention more explicit.
