오다 (oda – to come)
▷ 오(다) + 기를 바라다 = 오기를 바라다
▷ ▷ 오길 바래. = I hope you'll come.
Ex)
낫다 (natda – to get better (from an illness))
▷ 낫(다) + 기를 바라다 = 낫기를 바라다
▷ ▷ 빨리 낫길 바래요. = I hope you'll get better soon.
– I hope so, too.
2. 그런 일이 없기를 바래요. [없다] (geureon il-i eopgi-reul baraeyo)
– I hope something like that wouldn't happen.
3. 행복하길 바래. [행복하다] (haengbokhagil barae)
