Usages

When you use this with the first person it expresses the intention or will of the speaker. (I want to…, I am going to)

If you use this with the second person you can ask for the listeners wish, will or intentions (the person who asks the question can be included - to do sth. together)

to ask if the speaker can do something for the speaker. in this case, it’s often used with the verb 주다 (to give) and the honorific suffix -시 -> 주실래요.

This pattern cannot be used in the 3rd person!

When asked a question using this pattern it’s natural to answer with this as well.

Negation: -지 않을래요 / 안 + VS+(으)ㄹ래요

If the verb stem already ends with the consonant ㄹ you just need to add -래요

Notes - 메모

Like often in Korean it’s important to pay attention to the context, to get the right meaning. But don’t worry, this one is a really simple pattern and quite easy to use. After going through these lines you will be able to say that something is worth doing/going/seeing etc. In this case and for this meaning you have to use action verbs. It also can indicate that even though the speaker is not totally satisfied, something is still worth doing, bearable or acceptable to do. So, when you say 이 음식은 먹어 볼 만해요. you can say that this food is delicious, therefore worth trying to eat OR that this Food is not the best but still ok to taste.

When using -(으)ㄹ 만하다 with descriptive verbs you get a slightly different meaning. Then you can translate this like that it’s natural and understandable that something is like the way it is. 

You will often find the pattern -아/어/여 보다 (to try doing something) in combination with (으)ㄹ 만하다.

Since 만하다 is a descriptive verb in this pattern, the thing you describe as worth doing or acceptable needs either a topic or subject marker. (은/는/이/가). When you recommend a place you don’t use the location particle 에.
