When are you going to buy it for me? in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

Word-by-word breakdown (with romanization):

• 언제 (eon-je) – “when”
 Tip: This word is common for asking about time. Remember that it’s used like the English “when.”

• 내게 (nae-ge) – “to me”
 Tip: “내” means “my” or “me” in this context, and “-게” is a dative particle meaning “to” or “for.” You can also use “나한테” (na-han-te) to express the same idea.

• 사줄 (sa-jul) – Contraction of 사주다 (sa-ju-da) → “to buy for”
 Explanation: 사다 (sa-da) means “to buy,” and when combined with 주다 (ju-da) it expresses doing the action for someone. Dropping the ending gives you 사줄, a shortened future equivalent meaning “will buy for.”

• 거예요 (geo-ye-yo) – “will” or “is going to”
 Explanation: It comes from 거 (short for “것,” meaning “thing” or “action”) plus the polite ending 예요, turning the sentence into a future tense form polite question.

Alternate ways to say “When are you going to buy it for me?” in Korean:

• 언제 내게 사 주실 거예요?
 (Using the honorific form “주실” instead of “줄” for extra politeness.)

• 언제 나한테 사줄 거예요?
 (Using 나한테 instead of 내게; both are common in casual speech.)
