작성자:

Chapter 10-2

Verb Stem + -아/어 주세요

“Please Do This For Me” (Pakigawa Naman)

🛑 WAIT! Grammar is way easier once you know the words — if you haven’t studied Chapter 10-2 Vocabulary (Currency & Shopping) yet, go memorize them first! Today we’ll learn -아/어 주세요, how to ask someone to DO something for you.

🇵🇭 Teka muna! Mas madali ang grammar kapag alam mo na ang mga salita — kung hindi mo pa naaral ang Chapter 10-2 Vocabulary (Currency & Shopping), i-memorize muna ito! Ngayon, aralin natin ang -아/어 주세요, kung paano humiling sa isang tao na GAWIN ang isang bagay para sa iyo.

👉 Go to Vocabulary Ch 10-2 First

📌 1. What is -아/어 주세요?

-아/어 주세요 is attached to a verb to request or lightly command someone to perform an action for you.
🇵🇭 Idinidikit ang -아/어 주세요 sa isang pandiwa upang humiling o bahagyang mag-utos sa isang tao na gawin ang isang kilos para sa iyo.

[Basic pattern] — Same vowel check as -아요/어요!
✅ Last vowel ㅏ or ㅗ 👉 + -아 주세요 (e.g., 깎다 → 깎아 주세요)
✅ Last vowel ㅓ, ㅜ, ㅣ, etc. 👉 + -어 주세요 (e.g., 읽다 → 읽어 주세요)
✅ Verbs ending in -하다 👉 + -해 주세요 (e.g., 요리하다 → 요리해 주세요)

💡 TIP: 주세요 vs -아/어 주세요 — what’s the difference?
Back in Chapter 9-1, you learned [Noun] + 주세요 to ask FOR an object (“물 주세요” = Water, please). This time, [Verb] + -아/어 주세요 asks someone to DO an action (“씻어 주세요” = Please wash it).
🇵🇭 Sa Chapter 9-1, natutunan mo ang [Noun] + 주세요 para humingi ng isang bagay (“물 주세요” = Tubig po). Ngayon, ang [Verb] + -아/어 주세요 ay para humiling sa isang tao na GAWIN ang isang kilos (“씻어 주세요” = Pakihugasan po).
Example: 딸기를 좀 씻어 주세요. (Please wash the strawberries.)
💡 Remember: “Stem” means removing -다 first! Full explanation in Chapter 4-1.
🇵🇭 Tandaan: tinatanggal muna ang -다 para makuha ang “stem”! Buong paliwanag sa Chapter 4-1.
