How does it change in a sentence?
To make the phrase polite, change 나 to 저 and add 요 to the end to create 저도 보고 싶어요.
Did you know?
- If you miss someone who has passed away, Koreans often use the phrase 그립다, which describes a deep, aching longing that cannot be satisfied by simply 'seeing' the person again.
- In romantic contexts, people may use 'aegyo' by adding a ㅇ sound to the end of 보고 싶어, making it 보고 싶어용 to sound cute and flirtatious.
- By using the polite form 저도 보고 싶어요, you are not just being formal, but you are actually using a humble version of 'I' to lower your own status as a sign of respect.
