GRAMMAR
The Focus of This Lesson Is -(). ? "Should we watch an action movie?"

We use the volitional form to express intention on the part of the speaker or to invite someone to do something in informal situations. Specifically, the speaker uses this form when asking someone whether he or she would like to do something with the speaker or with a group that includes the speaker. In English, we can translate this as "shall we...?" or "should we...?" In addition to inviting someone to do something, we also use it to ask for one's opinion, view, or appraisal about a certain fact. This form is a sentence ender. Formation

-/? - (-l/eulkkayo) - standard politeness level -/? - (-l/eulkkayo) - intimate politeness level I. We use -? (-lkkayo?) with verbs that end in vowels. For Example:
1.

(boda) "to see," "to watch" - verb stem + ? (bo + lkkayo) ? (bolkkayo?) "Shall we watch?" (standard politeness level) ? (bolkka?) "Shall we watch?" (intimate politeness level)

II. We use -? (-eulkkayo?) with verbs that end in consonants. For Example:
1.

(jaemiitda) "to be fun" or "to be interesting" (jaemiit) - verb stem + - (jaemiit) + (-eulkkayo?) ? (jaemiisseulkkayo?) "Will it be fun?"/"What do you think?" (standard politeness level) ? (jaemiisseulkka?) "Will it be fun?"/"What do you think?" (intimate politeness level)

In this lesson, we use -() (l/eulkka) in the form of ? (bolkka?). This uses the above grammar formation with the verb (boda), meaning "to see" or "to watch." Combined with that construction, we translate the phrase (bolkka) as "should we see?" or "shall we see?"
