Making a Guess

How to use 것 같아요 (geot gatayo) in Korean

How to Use

Used to soften a guess or an opinion so it doesn't sound like a flat assertion. Koreans use it constantly to stay polite.

Rule: The ending changes with the word type. Verbs take -을 것 같아요 for a guess about the future (갈 것 같아요), adjectives take -은/-ㄴ 것 같아요 (좋은 것 같아요), and for the past use -은 것 같아요 (간 것 같아요).

Examples

맛있을 것 같아요!

It seems like it'll be delicious!

어려울 것 같아요.

It seems like it'll be difficult.

유명한 것 같아요.

It seems like it's famous.
