I want you to practice in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

연습하길 원해요.
• Word-by-word breakdown:
 – 연습 (yeonseup): “practice” (noun).
 – 하길 (hagil): contracted form of “하기를,” which comes from 하다 (“to do”). Here, “-길” transforms the verb into a noun-like form that serves as the object of 원하다.
 – 원해요 (wonhaeyo): polite present tense form of 원하다, meaning “want.”

• Overall translation: “I want (you) to practice.”

• Tips to remember:
 – Note that in Korean, when expressing the desire for someone to perform an action, the verb “하다” is nominalized by attaching “-길” (from “하기를”) after the noun (in this case, 연습).
 – 원해요 is a polite way to state a wish, so it fits naturally in conversational requests or suggestions.

• Alternate ways to express “I want you to practice”:
 – 연습했으면 좋겠어요. (Yeonseuphaesseumyeon jokesseoyo.) – “It would be good if you practiced.”
 – 연습해 주세요. (Yeonseuphae juseyo.) – “Please practice.”

Each alternate form shifts the nuance slightly from a direct desire (“I want you to…”) to a softer, more suggestive or polite request.
