V-아/어 주다

Doing something for someone

Taught in Level 2, Unit 7: Hello, may I speak to Ms Kim?

since Unit 6 you can say 'N 주세요' — 'give me N'. A phone call needs the same favour with actions: 'wait for me', 'tell her', 'say it again'. Put a verb in front of 주다 and it becomes 'do it for me/you'.

Example

  • 천천히 말해 주세요.

    Please speak slowly.

The full explanation is in the unit · part of the Level 2 Pass, opening soon · Level 2, Unit 7

Hello, may I speak to Ms Kim?

The rule with a table, Sori’s tips, practice that checks itself, a review room and a one-page cheat sheet.
