반말 drops 요: 가, 먹어, 뭐 해?
Only with close friends, children, or when invited to lower speech.
Starting 반말 too early is a classic social mistake.
Learn for comprehension (K-dramas) even before you produce it.
Level: elementary. Read the pattern, say each example out loud, then write two new sentences of your own before moving on.
After you can produce the form, open related Chamelingo pages (vocabulary, conjugator, particles) so the pattern connects to words you actually study.
Examples
어디 가?
Where are you going? (casual)
배고파. 뭐 먹을래?
I’m hungry. What do you want to eat?
