How to say "I already ~" in Korean — 이미 ~해요 (imi haeyo)

How to Use

Used to say something has already happened, often to stop someone from doing it again.

Rule: 이미 normally comes with a past-tense verb — 이미 먹었어요 (I already ate). 벌써 also means 'already', but adds surprise at how soon it happened.

이미 먹었어요.

I already ate.

이미 알고 있었어요!

I already knew!

이미 예약했어요.

I already made a reservation.
