같이 means “together” and 먹어요 means “eat.” In a friendly context, 같이 먹어요 is a simple suggestion: “Let’s eat together.”
Korean present polite forms often work as gentle invitations. You can add a meal or place to make the plan clear: 점심 같이 먹어요 or 식당에서 같이 먹어요.
For a more explicit question, say 같이 먹을래요? This asks whether the other person would like to eat together.
The phrase is warm but still polite. It works well with classmates, colleagues, and acquaintances when the relationship is comfortable.
