The endings of korean words
hello! Will be it ok if I sometimes will not use the ending of words? (if Im talking with my friends, not with older)
In one TV program I heard "살고 싶으면 이 차 타!"
I think more correct will be "살고 싶으면 이 차로 타요!"
So Iits possible to throw out the endings?

The endings of korean words
hello! Will be it ok if I sometimes will not use the ending of words? (if Im talking with my friends, not with older)
In one TV program I heard "살고 싶으면 이 차 타!" Good!
I think more correct will be "살고 싶으면 이 차로 타요!" A little formal expression because it ends with 요.
So Iits possible to throw out the endings?

타 actually has an ending -어/아 and it is omitted due to same vowel sound.
타(다) + 아 = 타아 => 타!
돕(다) + 아 => 도와!
먹(다) + 어 => 먹어!

You are supposed to remove the ending in that sentence since they are closed enough.
to add particular endings, it is one of the way to show some respect to the listener.
If you dont throw the endings out, it does sound like,
"would you like to have a cup of coffee?" to your closed friend. (yes , no way!)
살고 싶으면 이 차 타.(informal)
살고 싶으면 이 차로 타요.(a bit formal)
살고 싶으시면 이 차로 타세요.(formal)
