Lesson 2

Question 1

Compound nouns

Answer 1

고

So what exactly does-고 do? Do you remember the conjunction 그리고? Yes, 그리고 means
geu-ri-go] “and” or “and then” in Korean, so when using -고 after a verb stem, it has the same meaning as 그리고. By using the verb ending -고 rather than ending the sentence with just one verb and then starting the next one with 그리고 you can save a lot of time and make your sentence structures more practical.

in Korean, it is not absolutely necessary to have verb tenses match. Most native Korean speakers just use the past tense or the future tense with only the final verb.

** Also, it is worth noting that -고 can sometimes sound like “구” in casual, spoken Korean - particularly amongst younger women. Don’t get confused however, even if your friend might say it with a “구” sound, it is still written and referred to as -고.
