Me: “영화를 볼까요?”
Girl: “미안해요. 멀를 감아야 해요.”
-을까요 is the grammar form for “Shall we…?” and -어/아야 해효 is the form for “must” or “have to”, so the conversations here goes:
Me: “Shall we watch a movie?”
Girl: “Sorry. I must wash my hair”
(At least I hope I am getting this right. I’m still learning, remember ;)
To English speakers the meaning here is pretty obvious, but don’t go trying that with a Koreans. They will not know the cultural reverence and just things you are being weird, stupid and rude all at the same time.
