How do you say "expect" in Korean? Do Koreans just say 생각하다? For example, "Don't expect me to help you every time you make a mistake" Or "I expect you to work hard at school" Or "Did you expect that she would stay with you after you treated her so badly? My attempt: 네가 실수할마다 나를 항상 도와줄거라고 생각하지마세요. 나는 네가 학교에 열심히 공부할거라고 생각해요. 네가 그녀한테 나쁜 짓일 했어서, 아직 네옆에 있는다고 생각하나요? I'm sorry if my attempts are terrible. ^^

expect: 기대하다 or 생각하다. My attempt: 네가 실수할마다 나를 항상 도와줄거라고 생각하지마세요. => 네가/니가 실수 할때마다 내가 항상 도와 줄거라고 기대하지 마세요/생각하지 마세요. 나는 네가 학교에 열심히 공부할거라고 생각해요/기대해요. 네가 그녀한테 나쁜 짓일 했어서, 아직 네옆에 있는다고 생각하나요? This sounds gramatically right but doesn't make sense. You said " You think that she is still with you because you did something bad?" I think what you wanted to say was " 니가/네가 나쁜 짓을 해서, 그녀가 당신을 떠날거라고 생각하나요?"
