Based on the level of respect or formality, you can say "Do you mind if I speak in English?" in Korean in 3 ways:


  • Informal: nae-ga yeong-eo-ro mal-haedo gwaechan-a? (내가 영어로 말해도 괜챦아?), nae-ga yeong-eo-ro mal-haedo gwaechan-ni? (내가 영어로 말해도 괜챻니?)
  • Formal: jae-ga yeong-eo-ro mal-haedo gwaechan-ayo? (제가 영어로 말해도 괜챦아요?), jae-ga yeong-eo-ro mal-haedo gwaechan-seupnigga? (제가 영어로 말해도 괜챦습니까?)
  • Very Formal: jae-ga yeong-eo-ro malsseum deuryeodo gwaechan-getseupnigga? (제가 영어로 말씀드려도 괜챦겠습니까?)

- you (subjective): neo (너), neo-neun (너는), dangsin-eun (당신은), dansin-ggeseo-neun (당신께서는)
