Questions & Answers about sukbak giganeul yeonjangharyeomyeon chuga yogeumeul gyeoljehaeya haeyo.
What does the ending -(으)려면 mean here?
-(으)려면 after a verb stem means “if you intend to/if you want to do X, (then) ….” It sets up a requirement or precondition for the intended action. So 연장하려면 = “if you want to extend / in order to extend (the stay).” It signals that what follows is needed before the extension can happen.
Can I just use -(으)면 instead of -(으)려면? What changes?
Yes, but the nuance shifts.
- 연장하려면, 추가 요금을 결제해야 해요. = To extend, you must pay an extra fee. (Requirement/precondition)
- 연장하면, 추가 요금을 결제해야 해요. = If you extend, you will have to pay an extra fee. (Consequence/result) Both are correct, but for rules/instructions, -(으)려면 feels more natural because it frames the fee as a requirement to proceed.
Could I say 연장하고 싶으면 instead of 연장하려면?
You can:
- 연장하고 싶으면, 추가 요금을 결제해야 해요. This literally means “If you want to extend, you have to pay….” It focuses on the speaker’s desire. -(으)려면 feels a bit more neutral and instruction-like; -고 싶으면 highlights personal desire. In notices or policy explanations, -(으)려면 is slightly more standard.
Why is 을 after 기간? Can it be dropped?
