정중한 요청: 'Would Like' + 동사원형

영어로 공손한 요청이나 바람을 말할 때, 'would like' + 동사원형을 쓰면 말이 훨씬 부드럽고 예의 바르게 들려요. 기억하세요: polite requests, smoother English, respectful tone.

Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Use 'would like + to + verb' to express desires or make requests more politely than using the word 'want'.

  • Always use 'to' before the second verb: 'I would like to go' (not 'I would like go').
  • Use the contraction ''d' in spoken English: 'I'd like to order' sounds more natural.
  • In questions, swap the subject and 'would': 'Would you like to join us?'
👤 + 💭 (would like) + 🔗 (to) + 🏃 (verb)

Overview

근사한 커피숍에 들어갔을 때, 바리스타의 눈을 보며 I want (하고 싶다)라고 말하는 것이 마치 어린아이가 장난감을 떼쓰는 것처럼 느껴진 적이 있나요? 우리 모두 그런 경험이 있습니다. 여러분이 나쁜 사람인 건 아니지만, 영어에서 «직설적임»과 «무례함» 사이의 거리는 때때로 스마트폰 화면보다 더 얇을 수 있습니다.
바로 이럴 때 would like가 구세주처럼 등장합니다. 이것은 여러분의 욕구를 세련되고 정중하게 들리도록 감싸주는 «예의의 망토»입니다. 배달 앱에서 버거를 주문할 때든, 동료에게 Zoom 회의를 요청할 때든, 인스타그램 팔로워들에게 이번 여름 계획을 이야기할 때든, 이 패턴은 여러분의 가장 친한 친구가 될 것입니다.
무뚝뚝한 요구를 부드럽고 사회적으로 수용 가능한 요청으로 바꿔줍니다. 문을 발로 차서 여는 것과 미소를 지으며 조용히 노크하는 것의 차이라고 생각해보세요.

How This Grammar Works

본질적으로 would like 뒤에 infinitive (to + 동사 형태)가 오는 구조는 현재나 미래의 소망이나 구체적인 욕구를 표현하기 위해 사용되는 가정법적 구조입니다. want라는 단어도 문법적으로는 완벽하게 옳지만, 종종 무겁고 요구하는 듯한 어조를 띱니다. 주말 여행에 대해 친구에게 메시지를 보내고 있다고 상상해 보세요.
만약 I want to go to the beach (바다에 가고 싶어)라고 말한다면, 그것은 친구의 의견 없이 여러분이 내린 최종 결정처럼 들립니다. 하지만 I would like to go to the beach (바다에 가고 싶은데)라고 말한다면, 친구가 동의하거나 반대할 수 있는 공간이 생깁니다. 그것은 여러분의 자아의 충격을 완화해줍니다.
마법이 일어나는 이유는 would가 «가능성»이나 «개연성»의 층을 더하는 조동사이기 때문입니다. 그것은 욕구가 있다는 것을 보여주면서도, 세상이 전적으로 자신을 중심으로 돌아가는 것은 아니라는 것을 인식할 만큼 정중하다는 것을 암시합니다. 여러분의 뇌를 위한 사회적 필터처럼 작동합니다.

Formation Pattern

1
이 패턴을 만드는 것은 새로운 틱톡 알고리즘을 이해하는 것보다 훨씬 쉽습니다. 세 가지 주요 부분만 있으면 됩니다.
2
주어(Subject): I, you, he, she, it, we, they 등이 될 수 있습니다. 가장 좋은 점은? would like는 형태가 절대 변하지 않는다는 것입니다! heshe를 위한 추가적인 -s도 필요 없습니다.
3
구문(Phrase): 항상 would like를 사용하세요. 구어체 영어와 일상적인 메시지에서는 거의 항상 'd like로 축약합니다. 그래서 I would likeI'd like가 되고, she would likeshe'd like가 됩니다.
4
부정사(Infinitive): 이것은 to 뒤에 오는 동사 원형입니다. to travel, to eat, to sleep.
5
변화형을 살펴보겠습니다.
6
긍정문: I would like to order the vegan pizza. (또는: I'd like to order...)
7
부정문: would 뒤에 not을 추가합니다. I would not like to stay out late tonight. (축약형: I wouldn't like to...)
8
의문문: 주어와 would의 위치를 바꿉니다. Would you like to join our Discord server?
9
이것은 고정되어 있지만 신뢰할 수 있는 구조입니다. 여기서 복잡한 동사 변화에 대해 걱정할 필요가 없습니다. 충실한 그림자처럼 동사에 to를 붙여두기만 하면 됩니다. to를 잊어버리면 문장은 폭풍 속의 값싼 우산처럼 무너져 버립니다.

When To Use It

선택이나 목표가 관련된 거의 모든 사회적 상호작용에서 would like + infinitive를 사용하는 자신을 발견하게 될 것입니다.
  • 앱이나 직접 주문하기: Uber Eats 드라이버에게 요청 사항을 적을 때, 소리를 지르는 듯한 I want sauce on the side보다 I'd like to have the sauce on the side (소스는 따로 부탁드립니다)가 훨씬 더 전문적으로 들립니다.
  • 전문적인 요청하기: LinkedIn 메시지나 교수님께 드리는 이메일에서 I would like to schedule a quick call (잠시 통화 시간을 내고 싶습니다)라고 쓸 수 있습니다. 이것은 여러분이 상대방의 시간을 존중한다는 것을 보여줍니다.
  • 포부 표현하기: 여행 브이로거가 «버킷 리스트» 영상을 찍고 있다면 I'd like to visit Tokyo by 2027 (2027년까지 도쿄를 방문하고 싶어요)라고 말할 수 있습니다. 이것은 쇼핑 리스트라기보다 꿈처럼 들립니다.
  • 다른 사람에게 무언가 제안하기: 이것은 사교 상황에서 매우 중요합니다. Would you like to see my vacation photos? (제 휴가 사진 보실래요?)는 노을 사진 500장으로 누군가를 지루하게 만들기 전에 묻는 정중한 방법입니다.
  • 초대 거절하기: 무례하지 않게 «아니오»라고 말하는 완벽한 방법입니다. I'd like to come, but I have to finish my Netflix marathon. (가고 싶지만, 넷플릭스 정주행을 끝내야 해요).

Common Mistakes

가장 자주 빠지게 되는 함정은 «To 누락»의 구멍입니다. 많은 사람들이 I would like go home이라고 말합니다. 아야. 그것은 배터리가 부족한 로봇처럼 들립니다. 반드시 to를 포함해야 합니다. 또 다른 전형적인 실수는 would like를 단순 현재 시제인 like와 혼동하는 것입니다. 만약 I like to swim이라고 말한다면, 그것은 일반적인 취미에 대해 이야기하는 것입니다. 만약 I would like to swim이라고 말한다면, 그것은 바로 지금 이 순간 물에 뛰어들고 싶다는 뜻입니다. 사장님께 I like to have a raise (돈을 받는 것이 일반적인 취미?)라고 말하지 마세요. 여러분이 의도한 것은 I would like to have a raise (지금 급여 인상을 정중히 요청하고 싶습니다)입니다. 마지막으로 ing 함정을 조심하세요. I like swimming은 훌륭하지만, I would like swimming은 보통 이 B1 규칙에서 틀린 표현입니다. 안전하게 to + 동사를 고수하세요.

Contrast With Similar Patterns

«욕구 스펙트럼»에서 would like가 어디에 위치하는지 빠르게 비교해 봅시다.

I want to eat: 매우 직설적이고 에너지가 넘치지만, 상점이나 낯선 사람에게는 무례하게 들릴 수 있습니다. 배고파 죽을 것 같을 때 형제자매나 절친한 친구에게 사용하세요.
I like eating: 여러분의 성격에 대한 일반적인 진술입니다. 먹는 것을 좋아한다. 좋습니다. 우리 모두 그렇죠.
I would like to eat: 정중한 중간 지점입니다. 레스토랑, 처음 만난 사람, 공식적인 자리에서 완벽합니다.
I feel like eating: 매우 격식 없는 표현입니다. 결정을 내리지 못하고 음식 앱을 스크롤하고 있을 때 사용하세요.

want를 큰 망치로, would like를 벨벳 장갑으로 생각해보세요. 둘 다 소망을 표현하는 역할을 하지만, 벨벳 장갑은 대화 상대에게 훨씬 더 좋은 인상을 남깁니다.

자주 하는 실수

I would like go.

I would like to go.

You must use 'to' before the verb.

I would like a coffee.

I would like a coffee.

This is actually correct for nouns, but learners often forget the 'to' when they add a verb later.

I would likes to go.

I would like to go.

Modal verbs like 'would' do not take an 's' for he/she/it.

Do you would like to eat?

Would you like to eat?

We don't use 'do' with 'would'. 'Would' moves to the front.

I would like having a drink.

I'd like to have a drink.

After 'would like', use the infinitive (to have), not the gerund (having).

I will like to see you.

I would like to see you.

'Will like' is for future enjoyment; 'would like' is for a present request.

Would you like that I come?

Would you like me to come?

English uses 'Object + to-infinitive' after 'would like', not a 'that' clause.

I like to go to the party tonight.

I'd like to go to the party tonight.

'I like' is for general hobbies; 'I'd like' is for a specific event.

I'd like to not go.

I wouldn't like to go.

While 'I'd like not to go' is possible, 'I wouldn't like to go' is the standard negative form.

Would you like some to drink?

Would you like something to drink?

You need a pronoun like 'something' or a noun before the infinitive in this context.

I would like to had seen it.

💡

줄임말을 쓰면 훨씬 자연스러워져요!

대부분의 캐주얼하고 심지어 반공식적인 대화에서도 'would'를 'd'로 줄여서 쓰는 게 (예: 'I'd like', 'She'd like') 훨씬 자연스럽고 유창하게 들려요. 원어민처럼 들리려면 이렇게 연습해 보세요: "I'd like to try that dish, please."
⚠️

'Like' (일반적인 선호)와 헷갈리지 마세요!

'would like'는 지금 당장 또는 미래에 대한 '구체적인' 바람이나 요청을 나타낼 때만 써요. 일반적인 취미나 선호를 말할 때는 쓰지 마세요. 예를 들어, 수영을 좋아하면 I like swimming.이라고 해야지,
I would like swimming.
이라고 하면 '지금 수영하고 싶다'는 뜻이 되어서 좀 이상하게 들려요.
🎯

'Please'를 붙이면 예의가 두 배!

'would like' 자체가 공손한 표현이지만, 요청 끝에 'please'를 붙이면 공손함이 훨씬 더 커져요. 예를 들어, 카페에서 주문할 때 "I'd like to order a coffee, please."라고 하면 정말 완벽하게 예의 바른 표현이 된답니다. 마치 공손함 위에 체리를 얹는 것과 같아요!
🌍

상황이 중요해요!

영어권 문화에서는 낯선 사람, 서비스 직원, 또는 직장 동료와 대화할 때 공손함을 아주 중요하게 생각해요. 'would like'를 사용하면 상대방에 대한 존중과 예의를 표현할 수 있어서, 소통이 훨씬 효과적이고 즐거워져요. 긍정적인 분위기를 만들 수 있죠:
I would like to know more about the project, if possible.
💡

더 강한 열정은 'Would love'로!

만약 어떤 것에 대한 '더 강한' 바람이나 열정을 표현하고 싶다면, 'would like' 대신 'would love'를 써보세요. 예를 들어, 친구가
Would you like to go to the concert?
라고 물었는데, 콘서트에 정말 가고 싶다면 "I'd love to go!"라고 말하는 게 당신의 설렘을 완벽하게 보여줄 수 있어요. 진짜 관심을 표현하는 좋은 방법이죠.

Smart Tips

Pause and replace 'I want' with 'I'd like'.

I want a menu. I'd like a menu, please.

Look for the word 'to'. If there is a 'to' and it's a specific request, it's 'would like'.

I like to go now. (Wrong context) I'd like to go now. (Correct request)

Always use 'Would you like to...' instead of 'Do you want to...'. It sounds more generous.

Do you want to come to my party? Would you like to come to my party?

Contract 'I would' to 'I'd'. Native speakers rarely say the full 'I would' in conversation.

I would like to order. I'd like to order.

발음

/aɪd laɪk/

The 'd' Contraction

The 'd' in 'I'd' is very soft. It often blends into the 'l' of 'like'.

The word 'to' is usually reduced to a schwa sound /tə/.

British speakers use 'would like' extremely frequently to avoid appearing 'pushy'. Using 'I want' in a shop in London might be seen as quite rude.

While Americans are more direct, 'would like' is still the standard for professional service. However, 'I'll take a...' is a common neutral alternative in fast food.

In international meetings, 'I'd like to...' is the safest way to interrupt or add a point without offending colleagues from different cultures.

The word 'would' is the past tense of 'will', which originally meant 'to wish' or 'to desire' in Old English (willan).

자주 묻는 질문 (8)

Yes! If you are followed by a noun (a thing), you don't need 'to'. You only need 'to' if a verb (an action) follows.

'I'd love' is much stronger. Use it when you are very excited about an offer.

Because 'would like' is a conditional request, and English grammar requires the infinitive 'to swim' for specific future/present desires.

Not at all. It's very common to use it with friends when offering something, like 'Would you like a snack?'

The short form is 'wouldn't like'. Example: 'I wouldn't like to be late.'

In very old-fashioned or formal British English, yes. But 'would like' is the standard everywhere today.

The most polite answers are 'Yes, I would' or 'Yes, please' and 'No, thank you'.

To talk about the past, you use 'would like to have' + past participle. Example: 'I would like to have seen that movie.'
