하는 거야/ 거예요? is usually used when you want to ask someone what you (both singular and plural) are doing, or will be doing immediately.
For example, when you are in a group of people who are doing things as a group, and you want to ask a leader of the group what you all will be doing.

This is great. Thank you for your explanation.
ReplyDeleteI just have one question: What is the difference between -ㄹ 것이에요 and -는 것이에요?.
Both forms seem to be used for future...
I understand the differences among -겠- -ㄹ 게- and -ㄹ 것이다...
Hi Richardus,
DeleteSorry, this is a very late reply but since I saw your comment, I reply to your question now.
-ㄹ 것이에요 means "I will do (something"
-는 것이에요? is a question which means "Is it doing (something)?"
For example,
나는 뉴욕에 갈 것이에요. = I will go to New York.
이 비행기는 뉴욕에 가는 것이에요? = Is this plane going to New York?
I'm slightly confused by use of -ㄹ 것이에요 for "I will do something)".
DeleteI know a couple ways of expressing the future, the two closest being -ㄹ 거예요 and -ㄹ 게요.
I thought 이에요 was used as "to be" (equality) and since 것 means "thing", the part 것이에요 means "is a thing" basically. So how does that tie in with -ㄹ to make future?
Somehow, I feel like I am missing something obvious. :)
Hi William,
Delete-ㄹ 것이에요 is the written form, and -ㄹ 거예요 is the spoken form.
So, -ㄹ 거예요 is used more often when speaking.
Actually, -ㄹ 것이에요 is almost never used in spoken Korean.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
Hi, first of all, I really like your blog. It is very useful. I have a question which I hope you can answer. What is the use of 해야 하는 거니? I came across it once, but I don't know how to translate it. Thanks a lot!
