To add an honorific sense to a verb in the polite informal form, the order
of elements is as follows: Verb Root + Honorific Marker (세) + 요. The
pattern is used for both descriptive and action verbs:
| English | Dictionary
Form | Polite Informal Form
|
|
| be busy | 바쁘다 | 바쁘세요
| | be happy | 기쁘다 | 기쁘세요
| | make, do, speak | 하다 | 하세요
| | study | 공부하다 | 공부하세요
| | teach | 가르치다 | 가르치세요
|
If the verb root ends in a consonant, a linking vowel (으) is inserted
before the honorific marker:
be numerous 많다 많으세요
Now, another tricky example:
엎으면서 from 엎다 (to turn over)
