Would you call my dad? in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

Sentence breakdown:
• 아버지께 (A-beo-ji-kke): “To father.” The noun 아버지 (“father”) takes the honorific particle 께 when indicating the recipient of an action.
• 전화해 (jeon-hwa-hae): Derived from the verb 전화하다 (“to call” or “to telephone”), in its informal imperative form which stems from the verb stem 전화하- plus 해.
• 주실래요? (ju-sil-lae-yo?): This is an honorific and polite request form. It comes from the honorific auxiliary 주시다 (“to kindly do a favor”) plus the contraction of the future interrogative ending -ㄹ래요, asking “would you…?”

Tips to remember:
• When addressing someone with respect (especially when referring to family elders), use honorific particles such as 께 for “to” and add honorific verb forms.
• Notice that 전화하다 becomes 전화해 in the casual command form; combining it with 주실래요 turns it into a request meaning “Would you kindly call….”
• The ending -ㄹ래요 lets you form a soft request instead of a direct command.

Alternate ways to say “Would you call my dad?”:
• 아버지께 전화해 주시겠어요? (A-beo-ji-kke jeon-hwa-hae ju-si-ge-sseo-yo?) – A polite, slightly more formal version.
• 아버지께 전화해 주실 수 있으세요? (A-beo-ji-kke jeon-hwa-hae ju-sil su it-seu-se-yo?) – Asking “Would you be able to call my dad?” in a polite manner.
• 아버지께 전화 좀 해 주실래요? (A-beo-ji-kke jeon-hwa jom hae ju-sil-lae-yo?) – Adding 좀 (a softener) to the request tone.
