Thanks George,
Now I have a much clearer idea on a Korean word we use. I put in our
word order 'COFFEE A LITTE (jom) GIVE'. The verb comes at the end of a
sentence. Of course, 'me' omitted unless it's emphatic (i.e. it's me
asking, not others) since usually it's known. The Korean word is
'jom' or 'jogum' means 'a little'.
I always thought of it as a polite way of asking, but it seems
actually something closer to 'du' of 'du café' as shown, and may be
replaced with 'a lot', if one wishes.
