    I'll try to answer your question. :) -(스)ㅂ니다 ending appears in a formal polite form of verbs (ex. 이다 → 입니다), while -(으)세요 is a polite ending of imperative sentences and can be translated as "please do XYZ" (also used in greetings and wishes), for example: 주세요 (please, give me ...), 조심하세요 (please, be careful), 울지마세요 (please, don't cry), 힘내세요 (be strong / cheer up) or even 안녕하세요 which literally can be translated as "please be well / healthy / in peace". Compare these two using the same verb as an example: 행복하다 → 행복합니다 = I'm happy / you're happy / someone is happy [in polite formal form] 행복하다 + -(으)세요 → 행복하세요 = (Please) be happy. I hope it will help you a little bit.

    기대하다 = to expect, to look forward to sth, can't wait for sth 기다리다 = to wait So basically 기대할게요 = I'll be looking forward to it (with excitement) 기다릴게요 = I'll wait / I'll be waiting

    Verb ending - ㅖinstead of ㅕ Yesterday in a store while waiting in line I heard a man (probably grandfather) saying to a little boy something that sounded like 기다례. I assumed it's an imperative form of 기다리다 (as the boy was pretty unpatient) but I wonder why I heard ㅖinstead of ㅕ. I haven't found any grammatical explanation, so the only thing coming to my head is that he might've spoken in a specific dialect. Am I right or the form like this (or sounding similar) exists?

    It's very easy - the only thing you need to remember is that: - 아요 is used when verb stem ends withㅏ or ㅗ - 어요 is used in any other case, when a verb stem DOESN'T end withㅏ or ㅗ There's also -여요 which is used only with verb stem -하 and transforms it into -해요 Also ㅗ +ㅏ becomes 와 so 보다 --> 봐요 Good luck with learning Korean :)

    Hello~ As far as I know 그리고 is placed at the beginning of a sentence and has nuance of 'and then', 'and also'. If you want to say 'and' in the middle of a sentence you use -와 (after nouns without a final consonant) or -과 (after nouns with a final consonant) to connect nouns or -하고 to connect nouns and actions. I know there are more Korean words for 'and' but I didn't learn about them yet :)

    How to say 'I hope it makes you smile' in Korean? I want to write 'I hope it makes you smile' and I came up with 이거는 당신을 웃게 하면 좋겠어요. Is this sentence correct (partly at least)? I'm also a little bit confused what tense should I use, I intend to write it on THIS mentioned thing. I'd be grateful for any help ^^

    Conjugating verbs ending with ㅡ After conjugation to present tense 아프다 becomes 아파요, meanwhile 쓰다 becomes 써요. How do we know which one to use 아 or 어? Does this depend on previous syllable? I can't find it out by myself... 감사합니다 for help~
