Is it okay for us to meet? in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

Sentence Breakdown:
• 우리 (uri) means “we” or “us.”
• 만나는 (mannaneun) is the modifier form of the verb 만나다 (“to meet”). In Korean, verbs can be turned into adjectives by attaching –는 to the verb stem; here it describes “것.”
• 것이 (geosi) means “the thing” or “the act,” used to nominalize the preceding clause.
• 괜찮을까요? (gwaenchanheulkkayo?) comes from 괜찮다 (“to be okay”) with the future/uncertain ending –을까요?, which turns the statement into a polite question.

Tips to Remember:
• The –는 ending turns a verb into an adjective that can modify a noun (in this case, “것”).
• The noun “것” is often used to turn actions into things or concepts, which is common in constructing questions about actions.
• The ending –을까요? is useful when politely asking whether an action or situation is acceptable or desirable.

Alternate Ways to Express “Is it okay for us to meet?”:
• 우리 만나는 거 괜찮을까요?
 Romanized: uri mannaneun geo gwaenchanheulkkayo?
• 우리 만나도 괜찮을까요?
 Romanized: uri mannado gwaenchanheulkkayo?
• 우리 만남은 괜찮을까요?

Each version slightly varies in nuance. The second option uses -아도 (“even if we meet”) to convey a conditional sense, while the third treats the meeting as a noun (“만남”).
