TOPIK 3verb

잡수시다

japsusida [잡쑤시다]

잡수세요 · 잡수셨어요 · 잡수실 거예요

to eat (very honorific, for elders)

Example

할아버지, 진지 잡수셨어요?

Grandpa, have you had your meal?

Word parts

잡수다 (itself an honorific of 먹다) + honorific -시-; the contracted 잡숫다 is also standard.

Good to know

Pronounced [잡쑤시다]: the final ㅂ makes the next ㅅ tense. Use it for grandparents and the elderly; more deferential than 드시다.
