"Let's eat together."

Translation: 함께 식사합시다.

함께 vs 같이?

[pkalamarski]

The difference is in formality. 함께 is more formal that 같이.

You're gonna hear this answer a lot as you learn vocabulary. They're the same!

Can 먹다 not be used in this context? I.e.

함께 먹읍시다

[Ash-Fred]

It can. "함께 먹읍시다." is also accepted.

[KYHwi]

함께/같이
먹읍시다, 먹자, 먹어요 / 드시죠 / 식사합시다, 식사하자, 식사해요
These all form can be used.

[entraptah]

This form is the formal one, 먹다 is less formal

[mas925]

I have the same question

[musicalmarauder]

is there any slight difference in meaning between 식사 and 먹 or just multiple words for eat?

[SeanFogart4]

I wanted to ask that too. As 식사 is 食事, I'd say it's more like dining or having a meal.

[mhin1]

• 식사하다 = to eat, dine, have a meal

• 먹다 = to eat, consume

The former is more polite than the informal 먹다. For example, you would use 식사하다 with your colleagues and older members of your family.

[NoahMichae9]

Two words are same

[JinChang2]

How do I know when to use the Korean word for together and when to omit it?
