So , when you put it in the Brackets here it this sentence: (당신은) 어디서 왔어요? (오셨어요?) it's to show how to say it in the more formal/respect way in the past tense (common level)? Thank you Rob for your explanation.

It more literally translates to "Eat deliciously." Great questions, Ahuva! Rob... Hi Ahuva,

Yes, contextually, 맛있게 드세요 means “Enjoy your meal.” It more literally translates to “Eat deliciously.”

Great questions, Ahuva!

Let's first put the verb into its base form, 오다. The past tense base of this would be 왔다, which we could then conjugate into our 3 levels... 왔습니다 왔어요 왔어 ...왔습니다 being the 'honorific' level. BUT, if we go back to our base form, 오다, we can actually add something else in here to make it a bit more formal, and that is ~시. It goes on the end of a verb, is quite formal/respectful, and can only refer to someone else, not yourself. So if we put that on 오다, we get 오시다, in its base form. So when we conjugate that, we're actually going to conjugate the ~시 part. So if we conjugate that into its past tense base form, we'd get 오셨다. Putting that into its 3 levels of conjugation, we'd get... 오셨습니다 오셨어요 오셨어 ...오셨습니다 being the 'honorific' conjugation. Does that help? If it's still a bit confusing, let me know. Thanks Ahuva, and I'll get to your next question here in a second. Rob... Hi Ahuva,

About the honorific forms…

Let’s first put the verb into its base form, 오다.

The past tense base of this would be 왔다, which we could then conjugate into our 3 levels…

왔습니다
왔어요
왔어

…왔습니다 being the ‘honorific’ level.

BUT, if we go back to our base form, 오다, we can actually add something else in here to make it a bit more formal, and that is ~시.

It goes on the end of a verb, is quite formal/respectful, and can only refer to someone else, not yourself. So if we put that on 오다, we get 오시다, in its base form.

So when we conjugate that, we’re actually going to conjugate the ~시 part. So if we conjugate that into its past tense base form, we’d get 오셨다. Putting that into its 3 levels of conjugation, we’d get…

오셨습니다
오셨어요
오셨어

…오셨습니다 being the ‘honorific’ conjugation.

Does that help? If it’s still a bit confusing, let me know.

Thanks Ahuva, and I’ll get to your next question here in a second.

Is it the honorific form of: "왔어요?" or Is it the Common level of the Past tense of 왔어요? I got a little lost here. Thank you Hi Rob,
About: “오셨어요?”
Is it the honorific form of: “왔어요?” or
Is it the Common level of the Past tense of 왔어요?
I got a little lost here.
Thank you
