Introduction

In the previous lesson, you learned how to give commands to people using the imperative voice. In this lesson, you will learn how to use 주다, often in conjunction with the imperative voice to give these commands. In addition, you will learn how to use 주다 in other sentences when people do something for you (or for other people). Let's get started.

.

주다 = to give

주다 means "to give" and you already know how to use it in a wide variety of sentences when you are talking about somebody giving you (or somebody else) something:

저는 저의 친구에게 돈을 줬어요 = I gave my friend money

아빠는 나에게 음식을 줬어 = Dad gave me food

However, what if you want to tell somebody to give something to you? This would involve using the imperative mood that you learned in the previous lesson. If you want somebody to give you a book, you can attach any imperative forms you learned to 주다:

그 책을 (나에게) 줘 = Give me that book

그 책을 (나에게) 줘라 = Give me that book (usually pronounced as 주라)

그 책을 (저에게) 주세요 = Give me that book

Other examples:

맥주 1병 주세요 = Give me one bottle of beer (please)

저 숟가락을 주세요 = Give me that spoon (please)

The thing is, those sentences only involve somebody giving you some sort of an object. What if you wanted somebody to do something for you?
