意思
Asking for permission to perform an action.
文化背景
In Korea, asking '앉아도 돼요?' (May I sit?) even when a seat is clearly empty is a way of showing you don't take up space without considering others. It's a sign of {謙遜|겸손} (humility). When asking for permission from a superior, it's common to add '혹시' (perhaps/by any chance) to the beginning to make the request even softer. On Kakaotalk, people often use 'ㅠㅠ' or '..' after asking for permission to look more apologetic for asking. Before eating, instead of asking 'Can I eat?', Koreans say '잘 먹겠습니다' (I will eat well). However, if you want to try someone else's food, you must ask '한 입만 먹어도 돼요?' (Can I have just one bite?).
The 'Magic' Word
When in doubt in Korea, just add '-해도 돼요?' to your verb. It makes you sound instantly more polite and culturally aware.
Don't forget the '요'
Unless you are 100% sure you are close friends, always include '요'. Dropping it can sound very demanding.

Use '혹시'
Start your sentence with '혹시' (hok-si) to sound like a native. It's like saying 'By any chance...'
Nodding
When someone says '네, 돼요', they will often nod. You should nod back as a thank you.

常见问题
10 个问题'-해도 될까요?' is more indirect and polite. It's like 'Would it be okay if...?' vs 'Is it okay if...?'
No, you must use a verb. For nouns, use '[Noun]이어도 돼요?' (Is it okay even if it's [Noun]?).
You can say '네, 돼요' or '네, 괜찮아요' or '네, 그럼요' (Yes, of course).
Saying '아니요, 안 돼요' is very direct. It's more polite to say '죄송하지만, 지금은 좀 곤란해요' (I'm sorry, but it's a bit difficult right now).
'돼요' is the correct spelling. It is a contraction of '되어' + '요'.
It's better to use the more formal '-해도 되겠습니까?' in a job interview.
Yes, but it's less common. For example, '조금 매워도 돼요?' (Is it okay if it's a little spicy?).
It means 'even'. So the phrase literally means 'Even if I do this, is it okay?'
Not exactly. It's for asking permission for *your* action. For favors, use '-아/어 주시겠어요?'.
Yes, as long as you use the '요' form or the formal '됩니까' form.
