- Use -으러 after verb stems ending in a consonant (e.g., 먹다 -> 먹으러).
- Always follow this with a motion verb like 가다 (go), 오다 (come), or 다니다 (commute).
Overview
In Korean, expressing the purpose for which an action is undertaken often requires precision. Among various grammatical constructions indicating intention, the connective ending -(으)러 (-eureo) stands out for its specific and immutable connection to verbs of physical movement. This pattern serves to clearly articulate why one is going somewhere, coming from somewhere, or frequenting a place.
It directly links the objective (the action to be performed) with the act of moving towards or from it. Understanding -(으)러 is foundational for B1 learners, as it clarifies intentions in everyday mobility, distinguishing it from broader expressions of purpose.
Unlike English, which might simply use an infinitive phrase like "to eat" or "to study" regardless of motion, Korean grammar differentiates. -(으)러 is the designated structure when your body is physically relocating to achieve a goal. It's a pragmatic and essential part of daily communication, allowing you to concisely convey your mission when you are on the move.
Without it, simply stating you "go to the store" without -(으)러 would sound incomplete or robotic, lacking the crucial context of why you are there. It's a linguistic tool for adding intentionality to your locomotion.
This grammar pattern is primarily encountered with action verbs that describe the purpose, followed by a movement verb that describes the actual physical displacement. Its strict usage with movement verbs (such as 가다 (to go), 오다 (to come), 다니다 (to attend/frequent)) underscores a core principle of Korean: the precise categorization of linguistic functions. Mastering -(으)러 enables you to convey your motives for moving in a natural and idiomatic way, crucial for engaging in practical conversations and understanding native speakers.
How This Grammar Works
-(으)러 construction operates by attaching directly to the verb stem of the intended action, subsequently requiring a verb of movement as the main predicate of the sentence. This creates a tight semantic unit where the initial verb's action is presented as the explicit purpose or goal of the movement expressed by the final verb. The pattern essentially states: "I move [to go/come/attend] in order to [perform action]." This structure is not arbitrary; it reflects a linguistic preference for specifying the driving force behind physical relocation.다) combined with -(으)러, which then syntactically demands one of the specific movement verbs: 가다 (to go), 오다 (to come), or 다니다 (to attend/frequent). No other verbs are permissible in the final position when using -(으)러 to express purpose. This strict rule is fundamental to its correct application.밥 먹으러 가요 (I'm going to eat), but never 밥 먹으러 있어요 (I am to eat) because 있다 (to be/exist) is not a verb of movement.-(으)러 semantically functions as a directional purpose marker. It points the movement towards the accomplishment of the preceding action. This highlights a nuanced distinction in Korean grammar where the manner of achieving a goal (through physical motion) is specifically encoded.책 읽으러 도서관에 가요 (I go to the library to read a book). Here, 읽으러 (ilg-eureo) clarifies that reading (읽다) is the reason for the act of going (가다). The integration of the purpose directly into the movement verb makes the statement concise and unambiguous.-(으)러 ending itself remains unconjugated; all tense, mood, and politeness level modifications apply exclusively to the final movement verb.Formation Pattern
-(으)러 is straightforward, depending on whether the verb stem ends in a vowel or a consonant. The key is to first identify the verb stem by removing the 다 from the dictionary form of the verb.
ㄹ (L/R)
-러 directly to the verb stem.
보다 (to see) → 보 (stem) + 러 → 보러
영화 보러 극장에 가요. (I'm going to the theater to see a movie.)
자다 (to sleep) → 자 (stem) + 러 → 자러
피곤해서 집에 자러 왔어요. (I came home to sleep because I'm tired.)
만들다 (to make) → 만들 (stem) + 러 → 만들러
케이크 만들러 제과점에 갔어요. (I went to the bakery to make a cake.)
ㄹ)
-으러 (-eureo) directly to the verb stem.
먹다 (to eat) → 먹 (stem) + 으러 → 먹으러
점심 먹으러 식당에 갈까요? (Shall we go to the restaurant to eat lunch?)
찾다 (to find/look for/withdraw) → 찾 (stem) + 으러 → 찾으러
돈 찾으러 은행에 다녀왔어요. (I went to the bank to withdraw money and came back.)
읽다 (to read) → 읽 (stem) + 으러 → 읽으러
책 읽으러 서점에 가는 중이에요. (I'm on my way to the bookstore to read a book.)
-(으)러.
ㄷ irregulars (e.g., 듣다 (to listen)): The ㄷ changes to ㄹ before a vowel.
듣다 → 들 (irregular stem) + 으러 → 들으러 (Note: the ㄹ from the irregularity is treated as a consonant, so 으러 is used)
음악 들으러 카페에 갔어요. (I went to the cafe to listen to music.)
ㅂ irregulars (e.g., 돕다 (to help)): The ㅂ changes to ㅜ (or ㅗ in 돕다) before a vowel.
돕다 → 도우 (irregular stem) + 러 → 도우러
친구 도우러 병원에 갑니다. (I'm going to the hospital to help a friend.)
ㅅ irregulars (e.g., 낫다 (to get better/heal)): The ㅅ drops before a vowel.
낫다 → 나 (irregular stem) + 러 → 나으러 (Note: the stem ends in a vowel, so 러 is used)
감기 나으러 약국에 들렀어요. (I stopped by the pharmacy to get over a cold.)
-(으)러 Form | Romanization | Meaning |
-러 | 가다 | 가 | 가러 | gareo | to go to go |
보다 | 보 | 보러 | boreo | to go to see |
오다 | 오 | 오러 | oreoreo | to come to see |
ㄹ | Stem + -러 | 놀다 | 놀 | 놀러 | nolleo | to go to play |
살다 | 살 | 살러 | salleo | to go to live |
-으러 | 먹다 | 먹 | 먹으러 | meogeureo | to go to eat |
찾다 | 찾 | 찾으러 | chajeureo | to go to find |
ㄷ irreg. | ㄷ → ㄹ + -으러 | 듣다 | 들 | 들으러 | deuleureo | to go to listen |
ㅂ irreg. | ㅂ → ㅜ + -러 | 돕다 | 도우 | 도우러 | doureo | to go to help |
ㅅ irreg. | ㅅ drop + -러 | 낫다 | 나 | 나으러 | naureo | to go to recover |
가요, 왔어요, 다닐 거예요) will then carry the tense, mood, and politeness level of the sentence.
When To Use It
-(으)러 construction is employed specifically when the purpose of your physical movement is to perform a particular action. Its usage is tightly bound to verbs signifying motion or displacement. You will primarily use this grammatical pattern in situations where you are:- 1Stating the purpose for going somewhere (
가다): This is the most common application, indicating your destination and the activity you intend to carry out there. The destination implicitly serves as the place where the action will occur.
친구 만나러 서울에 가요.(I’m going to Seoul to meet a friend.)커피 마시러 카페에 갈 거예요.(I will go to the cafe to drink coffee.)일하러 회사에 매일 갑니다.(I go to the company every day to work.)
- 1Stating the purpose for coming somewhere (
오다): This indicates that you have arrived, or are arriving, at a place with a specific task in mind.
무엇을 배우러 여기 오셨어요?(What did you come here to learn? (formal, honorific))선물 사러 백화점에 왔어.(I came to the department store to buy a present. (casual))도와주러 제가 직접 왔습니다.(I came here myself to help. (formal))
- 1Stating the purpose for frequenting a place (
다니다): This applies when the movement is habitual or involves regular visits for a specific purpose, such as attending school or commuting to work.
한국어 배우러 학원에 다녀요.(I attend the academy to learn Korean.)운동하러 헬스장에 다닙니다.(I go to the gym regularly to exercise.)밥 먹으러 학교 식당에 다닐까?(Shall we regularly go to the school cafeteria to eat? (casual))
- Incompatibility with Non-Movement Verbs: Never use
-(으)러with verbs that do not express physical movement. For instance,있다(to be/exist),앉다(to sit),서다(to stand), or살다(to live – in the sense of residing) cannot be the final verb in this construction. The action of-(으)러must lead to a change in location. For example,책 읽으러 도서관에 있어요is incorrect; you must say책 읽으러 도서관에 가요(I go to the library to read a book). - Tense and Mood: Only the final movement verb (
가다,오다,다니다) is conjugated for tense, mood, and politeness levels. The-(으)러part of the construction remains fixed. This means you can express past, present, or future intentions, as well as questions or suggestions, all through the conjugation of the movement verb. - Past:
친구 만나러 홍대에 갔어요.(I went to Hongdae to meet a friend.) - Future:
새 옷 사러 쇼핑몰에 갈 거예요.(I will go to the shopping mall to buy new clothes.) - Suggestion:
뭐 먹으러 갈까요?(Shall we go to eat something?) - Adjectives:
-(으)러cannot be used with adjectives because adjectives describe a state or quality, not an action that one physically moves to perform. You cannot "go to be pretty" (예쁘러 가다); you would need a different construction to express such a sentiment, perhaps예뻐지러 가다(to go to become pretty), which uses an action verb예뻐지다. - Cultural Context: This pattern is ubiquitous in daily Korean conversation and writing, from planning social outings to explaining errands. It is highly efficient and precise, reflecting a cultural emphasis on clarity of purpose, especially when involving spatial movement. Therefore, integrating
-(으)러naturally into your speech will significantly enhance your fluency and comprehension of native Korean communication patterns.
Common Mistakes
-(으)러 grammar pattern. Recognizing these common errors and understanding their underlying reasons is crucial for accurate and natural Korean communication.- 1Using Non-Movement Verbs as the Final Predicate: This is arguably the most frequent mistake.
-(으)러strictly requires가다(to go),오다(to come), or다니다(to frequent/attend) as the final verb. Using verbs like있다(to be/exist),앉다(to sit),서다(to stand), or눕다(to lie down) in this position is grammatically incorrect, as these do not denote physical displacement for a purpose.
- Incorrect:
책 읽으러 도서관에 있어요.(I am at the library to read a book.) – This is wrong because있어요is not a movement verb. - Correct:
책 읽으러 도서관에 가요.(I go to the library to read a book.) - Incorrect:
공부하러 집에 앉았어요.(I sat at home to study.) –앉았어요is not a movement verb. - Correct:
공부하러 집에 왔어요.(I came home to study.)
- 1Incorrect Tense or Modality Conjugation: The
-(으)러part of the construction itself never changes. All conjugations for tense, politeness, and mood (e.g., past, future, interrogative, suggestive) are applied only to the final movement verb (가다,오다,다니다). Attempting to conjugate the verb preceding-(으)러is erroneous.
- Incorrect:
밥 먹었으러 갔어요.(I went to have eaten a meal.) – The verb먹다should not be conjugated into the past tense with었. - Correct:
밥 먹으러 갔어요.(I went to eat a meal.) - Incorrect:
공부 할러 올까요?(Will I come to study?) – Future tense markerㄹshould not be attached before러. - Correct:
공부 하러 올까요?(Shall I come to study?)
- 1Confusing
-(으)러with-(으)려고: Both express purpose, but-(으)려고(intending to/in order to) is a general intention marker that can be used with any verb, irrespective of movement, and can also be followed by various predicates.-(으)러is strictly limited to physical movement verbs. Mixing these up leads to unnatural or incorrect sentences.
-(으)러: Purpose of moving to do something.운동하러 공원에 가요.(I go to the park to exercise.) – Implies physical movement to the park.-(으)려고: General intention to do something, regardless of movement.운동하려고 계획했어요.(I planned to exercise.) – No movement involved, just an intention.운동하려고 공원에 가요.(I go to the park intending to exercise.) – While often interchangeable when followed by a movement verb,-(으)러more directly connects the purpose to the act of movement, making it slightly more idiomatic for this specific context.-(으)려고carries a stronger nuance of 'planning to' or 'with the intention of.'
-(으)려고 can stand alone with a wide range of predicates or imply an unstated subsequent action, whereas -(으)러 must be immediately followed by 가다, 오다, or 다니다.- 1Misconjugating
ㄹIrregulars: Learners sometimes incorrectly apply-으러to verb stems ending inㄹ(like만들다,놀다), or misapply theㄷirregular rule. Remember thatㄹstems directly take-러without으.
- Incorrect:
만들으러(mandeureureo) – Sounds awkward and is incorrect. - Correct:
만들러(mandeulleo) –만들다(to make) →만들(stem) +러.
- 1Using with Adjectives:
-(으)러is only for action verbs. Adjectives describe states, not actions that one undertakes through physical movement. Therefore, attempting to use-(으)러with an adjective is ungrammatical.
- Incorrect:
똑똑하러 학교에 가요.(I go to school to be smart.) - Correct (alternative expression):
똑똑해지려고 학교에 가요.(I go to school to become smart.) – Here,똑똑해지다(to become smart) is an action verb.
-(으)러 exclusively precedes 가다, 오다, or 다니다 and ensuring correct conjugation of the final verb, you can avoid most common errors and use this pattern confidently and naturally.Real Conversations
-(으)러 is a cornerstone of daily Korean interaction, frequently appearing in casual speech, texting, and more formal contexts when discussing purposeful movement. Its utility in clarifying intentions makes it indispensable for natural conversation.
Scenario 1
A
주말에 뭐 할 거야? (What are you going to do this weekend?)B
친구랑 같이 영화 보러 극장에 갈 거야. (I'm going to the theater to see a movie with a friend.)- Analysis: 보러 (boreo) clearly states the purpose (to see) of the movement (going to the theater). This is a common casual exchange.
Scenario 2
C
지금 어디야? (Where are you now?)D
응, 점심 먹으러 식당 가는 중이야. 곧 도착해! (Yeah, I'm on my way to a restaurant to eat lunch. I'll arrive soon!)- Analysis: 먹으러 (meogeureo) specifies that the purpose of going to the restaurant is to eat. 가는 중이야 (on my way) reinforces the ongoing movement. This is typical of quick, informative texts.
Scenario 3
E
어떻게 오셨어요? (How did you come? / What brings you here? (polite))F
친구랑 얘기하러 왔어요. (I came to talk with a friend.)- Analysis: 얘기하러 (yaegihareo) explains the purpose (to talk) of coming to the cafe. Using 왔어요 (past tense of 오다) indicates that the arrival has already occurred.
Scenario 4
G
요즘도 테니스 치러 다니세요? (Do you still regularly go to play tennis? (polite))H
네, 건강 때문에 매주 테니스 치러 다녀요. (Yes, I go to play tennis every week because of my health.)- Analysis: 치러 (chireo) indicates the purpose (to play) for the regular movement (다녀요). This demonstrates the use of 다니다 for habitual or frequent movement driven by a specific purpose.
Scenario 5
I
오늘 저녁에 뭐 할까요? (What shall we do this evening?)J
스트레스 풀러 노래방에 갈까요? (Shall we go to a karaoke room to relieve stress?)- Analysis: 풀러 (pulleo) states the purpose (to relieve/release) of the suggested activity (going to a karaoke room). The ㄹ irregular 풀다 (to relieve) correctly takes 러.
These examples illustrate that -(으)러 is not confined to formal textbook sentences but is an integral part of dynamic, real-world communication in Korean. Its conciseness and directness make it highly efficient for conveying intentions related to movement.
Quick FAQ
-(으)러 grammar pattern, providing concise answers and clarifications essential for intermediate learners.-(으)러 be used with past or future tenses?가다, 오다, 다니다) is conjugated for tense. The -(으)러 part itself remains unconjugated, regardless of the overall sentence's tense. This consistency simplifies usage.- Past:
친구 만나러 파티에 갔어요.(I went to the party to meet a friend.) - Future:
내일 공부하러 도서관에 갈 거예요.(I will go to the library to study tomorrow.)
-(으)러 always about physical movement?-(으)러 is its mandatory connection to verbs of physical displacement: 가다 (to go), 오다 (to come), and 다니다 (to frequent/attend). It cannot be used if there is no actual change in physical location or trajectory.-(으)러 and other purpose-indicating grammatical structures like -(으)려고.-(으)러 with adjectives? For example, to say "I go to be happy"?-(으)러 must attach to an action verb stem. Adjectives describe states or qualities, not actions one performs.-(으)려고 or other structures. For example, instead of 행복하러 가다 (incorrect), you might say 행복해지려고 노력해요 (I try to become happy) or 행복하게 살려고 해요 (I try to live happily).-(으)러 differ from -(으)려고?-(으)러: Specifically expresses the purpose of a physical movement. It must be followed by가다,오다, or다니다. It conveys "in order to do X, I go/come/frequent Y." The emphasis is on the destination's role in achieving the purpose.- Example:
밥 먹으러 식당에 가요.(I go to the restaurant to eat.)
-(으)려고: Expresses a more general intention or plan. It can be followed by a wider variety of verbs (including movement verbs, but also others like계획하다(to plan),노력하다(to try),하다(to do)). It conveys "intending to do X" or "in order to do X."- Example:
밥 먹으려고 식당에 가요.(I go to the restaurant intending to eat.) – While this is also acceptable,먹으러 가요is often more natural when the purpose is directly tied to the movement to the place. - Example:
밥 먹으려고 돈을 벌어요.(I earn money to eat.) – Here,-(으)러would be incorrect because벌어요(earn) is not a movement verb.
-(으)러 is generally the more precise and natural choice, especially in casual and everyday contexts.-(으)러 be used to invite someone?커피 마시러 갈까요?(Shall we go to drink coffee?)저녁 먹으러 오세요.(Please come to eat dinner.)같이 쇼핑하러 다닐래요?(Shall we go shopping together?)
