Vocabulary

In Korea, many theaters have automated kiosks to handle ticketing. Your seat is assigned when you buy your ticket. Real-time seating charts are available online or at the box office. As you might guess, the middle seats are the first to sell out. Online reservations have no hidden service fees. Many Korean credit cards and points cards can score you a discount on cinema tickets.

Grammar Points

What 무슨, 무엇(=뭐)

These two essentially have the same meaning and function. 뭐 is a shortened form of 무엇. 무슨 is used when we want to know about something and don’t know the answer, and when our question doesn’t have a finite number of possible answers (what a book is about, what happened, the meaning of something). W can use it with inanimate objects, but not with people. In terms of usage, 무슨 is followed by noun and 무엇(=뭐) is followed by verbs.

E.g. 준씨는 뭐 했어요? What did Jun do? E.g. 무슨 일을 하세요? What do you do?

-을/ㄹ 거예요 will / be going to (future tense)

This pattern is used to express a future plan or intention. – ㄹ 거예요 is used when the verb stem ends in ㄹ, or a vowel, and -을 거예요 is used when the verb stem ends in a consonant.

E.g. 주말에 뭐 할 거예요? What will you do on weekend? E.g. 김밥을 먹을 거예요. I will eat Gimbap

– 도 also, too, as well

It is used when adding something into an existing thing or stuff and is used after the noun. It is used in all cases regardless of the batchim (final consonant) of preceding words. 

E.g. 저도 학생이에요. I am also a student

– 을래요? / -ㄹ 래요? Would you like to …?

It’s used when asking about the listener’s preference or intention or when gently making a request. When the verb stem ends in a vowel or ㄹ, – 래요? is added, and when it ends in a consonant, -을래요? is added.

E.g. 커피 한 잔 하실래요? Would you like to have a cup of coffee? E.g. 저기 의자에 앉을래요? Would you like to seat on that chair?
