Questions & Answers about baro patireul sijakhaedo dwaeyo.

What is the function of 바로 in 바로 파티를 시작해도 돼요? Can I move it?

바로 is an adverb meaning “right away” or “immediately.” It modifies the verb phrase 시작해도 돼요. You can place it either before the object or right before the verb without changing the meaning:

• 바로 파티를 시작해도 돼요
• 파티를 바로 시작해도 돼요

Both are natural and equally common.

How does the grammar pattern -아도/어도 되다 work here?

The pattern Verb-stem + -아도/어도 되다 expresses permission (“you may…,” “it’s okay to…”). Formation steps:

1. Drop -다 from the dictionary form (시작하다 → 시작하-).
2. Attach -아도 after stems ending in ㅏ/ㅗ, otherwise -어도 (시작하- + 어도 → 시작해도).
3. Add 돼요, the polite present of 되다.

So 시작해도 돼요 literally means “Even if you start (it), it becomes okay.”

What’s the difference between 시작해도 돼요, 시작해도 괜찮아요, and 시작해도 좋아요?

All three grant permission but vary in nuance:

• 시작해도 돼요 – neutral permission (“you’re allowed”)
• 시작해도 괜찮아요 – reassuring tone (“it’s fine if you start”)
• 시작해도 좋아요 – more encouraging (“it’d be good if you start”)

Choose 돼요 for plain permission, 괜찮아요 to comfort, 좋아요 to express positive approval.
