Everyday Korean · one useful step · LESSON 3 / 4
Ask about everyday activities
Extend the permission pattern to eating and taking photos.
Previous and Next let you browse. Save & next records completed practice.
You already know an action request. Now change the ending to ask whether you may do the action yourself.
May I eat here?
May I take a photo?
Please take a photo.
A quick reminder before you practise
Distinguish a destination, a location of presence and a location of action.
Turn a familiar action into a polite request.
Compare 먹어요 → 먹어도 돼요? and 찍어요 → 찍어도 돼요? Keep the familiar object and action-location markers: 사진을, 여기에서. The permission ending is not the same as 주세요. These examples ask about permission, not whether you have the physical ability to do something.
Try it yourself
