Korean informal speech levels (비격식체)
1) Haeyoche(해요체)
해요체 is an informal, but polite speech. Regardless of the social rank and age of the addressee, it can show respect or politeness.

This is the most common speech style, used in everyday situations, so if we are not sure which speech level to use, it is usually the best choice.

It is commonly used between strangers, between colleagues, and when the addressee is a superior, such as children speaking to their parents, students to teachers.

Almost every sentence ends with –요. Only imperative form ends with –세요.

Declarative form: stem + –요

공부하다 + –요 = 저 지금 공부해요. I am studying now.

Interrogative form: stem + –요?

공부하다 + –요? = 지금 공부해요? Are you studying now?
