Expression of the Week

하는 거 봐서 depending on how (you) do


하다 – v. to do 

봐서 – abbreviated form of ‘보고 나서’ (나다)


Casual – 하는 거 봐서


>>This expression is used when someone (A) asks the speaker (B) a question or favor and the speaker (B) does not want to give a clear answer and states that they will decide later after seeing what A says or does. 


>>”봐서” is an abbreviated form of “보고 나서” with “나다” an auxillary verb used when having completed the action of the preceding statement


>> Instead of “하다” the expression can also use other verbs. For example, to the request “아빠, 피자 더 시켜 주세요.” (Dad, can you order some more pizza?), the father could answer “너 먹는 거 봐서” which means, (I’ll see whether to order more or not) after seeing (how much) you eat.
