In Korean, the word “뭐” (mwo) is a common and casual way to ask “what.” It is often used in everyday conversations and is similar in meaning to the English word “what.” However, it is important to note that the level of formality in Korean can vary depending on the situation and the relationship between the speakers.
When you want to ask “what” in a more formal or polite manner, you can use the word “무엇” (mueot). This word is considered more polite and is used in formal situations, such as when speaking to someone older or to someone you don’t know well.
Here are a few examples of how to use “뭐” (mwo) and “무엇” (mueot) in different contexts:
1. Casual/formal:
– 뭐 해? (Mwo hae?) – What are you doing? (casual)
– 무엇을 하고 계세요? (Mueoreul hago gyeseyo?) – What are you doing? (formal)
2. Casual/formal:
– 뭐 먹을래? (Mwo meogeullae?) – What do you want to eat? (casual)
– 무엇을 드시겠습니까? (Mueoseul deusigesseumnikka?) – What would you like to eat? (formal)
3. Casual/formal:
– 뭐 할까? (Mwo halkka?) – What should we do? (casual)
– 무엇을 하면 좋을까요? (Mueoseul hamyeon joheulkka yo?) – What do you think we should do? (formal)
It’s worth noting that the level of formality can also be conveyed through verb endings and honorifics used in Korean. So, depending on the situation and who you are speaking to, you may need to adjust your language accordingly.
I hope this helps!
