TL;DR ๐Ÿฆ„
  • โœ… -๊ธฐ๋กœ ํ•˜๋‹ค [-gi-ro ha-da] means to decide / agree / promise to do an action.
  • ๐Ÿงฉ It is easy to build: remove ๋‹ค from an action verb, then add ๊ธฐ๋กœ ํ–ˆ์–ด์š”: ์ „ํ™”ํ•˜๋‹ค โ†’ ์ „ํ™”ํ•˜๊ธฐ๋กœ ํ–ˆ์–ด์š” (I decided to call).
  • ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ It is stronger than a plan: ์ „ํ™”ํ•˜๋ ค๊ณ  ํ•ด์š” = Iโ€™m planning to call; ์ „ํ™”ํ•˜๊ธฐ๋กœ ํ–ˆ์–ด์š” = I decided/agreed to call.

Usage note
  • -๊ธฐ๋กœ ํ–ˆ์–ด์š” can describe a personal decision, group decision, promise, or agreement.
  • Be careful with adjective/change-verb decisions. Phrases like ๊ฑด๊ฐ•ํ•ด์ง€๊ธฐ๋กœ ํ–ˆ์–ด์š” or ์ข‹์•„์ง€๊ธฐ๋กœ ํ–ˆ์–ด์š” are understandable, but they often sound unnatural or too vague in everyday Korean because you cannot simply โ€œdecideโ€ a state into existence. Korean usually sounds more natural when the decision is a concrete action or resolution:
    • ๊ฑด๊ฐ•ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์‚ด๊ธฐ๋กœ ํ–ˆ์–ด์š” [geon-gang-ha-ge sal-gi-ro hae-sseo-yo] (I decided to live healthily.)
