Imperative mood (Korean)
In Korean, the imperative mood (Korean: 명령법) conveys commands, requests, or permission.[cite:@wiktionary:88014186]
To politely form conjugate a verb in the imperative mood, the suffix -(으)세요 is used.This conjugation actually makes use of the honorific -(으)시-, appropriately equipping the speaker for making polite requests rather than commands.
