Korean grammar · Level 4 · 4급
V-(으)ㄹ까 하다
I'm thinking of …
-(으)ㄹ까 하다 shares a plan that is still soft — you are leaning towards it but haven't fully decided. It is for your own plans (I or we). For someone else's plan, report it: 일할까 한대요. -(으)ㄹ까 생각 중이에요 is a close cousin.
| When | Use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| ends in a vowel | -ㄹ까 해요 | 가다 → 갈까 해요 · 쉬다 → 쉴까 해요 |
| ends in a consonant | -을까 해요 | 읽다 → 읽을까 해요 |
| ㄹ stem | -까 해요 | 살다 → 살까 해요 · 만들다 → 만들까 해요 |
Examples
졸업하면 한국에서 일할까 해요.
After I graduate, I'm thinking of working in Korea.
이번 주말에는 집에서 푹 쉴까 해요.
I'm thinking of having a proper rest at home this weekend.
머리를 짧게 자를까 해요.
I'm thinking of cutting my hair short.
