What does 하는 게 좋을 것 같아 mean?
하는 게 좋을 것 같아 means "I think it would be better to do it" in Korean.
How it works here
‘V-는 게 좋다’ appears as ‘하는 게 좋을 것 같아,’ suggesting that a certain action would be better. The following ‘것 같아’ softens the way it is said.
Key expression
-는 게 좋다
An expression used to gently recommend or suggest that doing an action would be better
‘V-는 게 좋다’ has a strong sense of advice or suggestion without sounding overly commanding. It follows verbs, as in ‘가는 게 좋다’ (it is better to go) and ‘기다리는 게 좋다’ (it is better to wait). It is similar to ‘-는 게 낫다,’ but ‘좋다’ can sound like a more neutral and gentle recommendation.
