FORMAL/INFORMAL
i dont wanna look rude to korean people when talking with them.. so someone please help me... please give me some example of  formal and informal words.. such (eat,dring,this,taht, and many more..) and, is that when we put words 요  and ㅂ니다  mean formal?

Answer

Here are some examples.^^/

1. verb stem + ㅂ니다(formal, polite)
먹다(to eat) ☞ 먹 + ㅂ니다 ☞ 먹습니다.
마시다(to drink) ☞ 마시 + ㅂ니다 ☞ 마십니다

2. verb stem + 아/어/여/해 + 요(informal, polite)
먹다 ☞ 먹 + 어요
마시다 ☞ 마시 + 여요 ☞ 마셔요

3. verb stem + 아/어/여/해(informal, not polite, among close friends)
먹다 ☞ 먹 + 어
마시다 ☞ 마시 + 여 ☞ 마셔
