Angelique Le-Leigh Garrett으세요 the honorific form of 요?
When you say 'special' do you mean the honorific form of asking for something?

Angelique Le-Leigh GarrettIf I used a word ending in a vowel like 가 how would 드세요 join on? I cannot write 가드세요?

Rebecca HardingSome words have special forms and do not follow the (으)세요 pattern, so 드세요 is the honorific form of 먹어요. You wouldn't add it to the end of anything else. But for most words you would just add (으)세요.
입다 means 'to wear'.
For words ending with consonants add '으세요'. For words ending with vowels, add 세요.
Good work helping out that family, Jenny! Next time you could try using the honorific 분 instead of 명 to be even more polite, too!

Angelique Le-Leigh GarrettAhh. I get it. Sorry.
Ok. I am doing some study from my book. I came across 이세요 in regards to talking about someone else. So is it the honorific version of 이에요?
