Also spelled lkayo, lkka

shall we? / what do you think will happen?

The polite version of ㄹ까. It either proposes something to the listener — 뒤로 갈까요? 'shall we move back?', 살펴볼까요? 'shall we take a look?' — or invites them to speculate along with you: 이 풍선 어떻게 될까요? 'what do you think happens to this balloon?'. Because it pulls the other person in rather than telling them, teachers and hosts lean on it constantly. After a consonant it is 을까요.
