What it means

V-(으)ㄹ 테다 states a strong resolve, 'I will do it, no matter what': 이번에는 꼭 받아 낼 테다. Add -(으)ㄹ 테다 to a verb — -을 테다 after a 받침 (읽을 테다), -ㄹ 테다 without one (할 테다). It is usually said to yourself or written in a diary; to a close friend say -(으)ㄹ 테야. There is no 테다요: to someone older or higher, use -겠습니다 or -(으)ㄹ 거예요.
