Hello everyone, we are back with another lesson! Like many languages in the world, there are many conjuctions in the Korean language. In this lesson we are introducing two of them: 그리고 and 그래서. 그리고 [geu-ri-go] has the meaning of “and” and “and then”, depending on the context. 그래서 [geu-rae-seo] has the meaning of “therefore” and “so”. If you have any questions, please feel free, as always, to leave us a comment! 감사합니다.

    “U-Kiss is cool. So, I like U-kiss”.

    Korea is really interesting. And I want to go
    한국은 재미있어요. 그리고 가고 싶어요
    In Korea winter has come. Therefore it is very cold
    한국에 겨울 왔어요. 그래서 정말 추워요

    I think there’s an error in the pdf. you guys wrote “오늘 비가 왔어요” instead of “오늘은 비가 왔어요” while you were introducing this phrase for the first time as an example, because when you say it for the first time in the audio lesson it also has the marking particle. That’s all 그리고 thank you for doing this great job! (ˆ_ˆ)

  9. Oscar Sun says: March 12, 2012

    Why does the pronunciation of 그리고 sound like 그리구?

    • jun says: March 14, 2012

      그리고. The 고 sounds like the g+k sound then followed by the word O. So it sounds like gko.

    • Ashley Hill says: March 26, 2012

      It’s because the “o” is much more closed in Korean than it is in, for example, American English.

      So the shape of the lips is nearly identical for “o” and “u”, and the differentiation is made with tongue placement. :)

    안녕하세요!^^ 저는 학생이에요 그리고, 돈 없어요.

      돈을 있어요. 그래서 불고기를 먹을 거예요.

      Why spaces?
      Dot after 공부해요.

  13. Shiru says: March 27, 2012

    어재 김지 맛있어요, 그리고 오늘 김지 막을 거여요.
    its okay? please :D

    어재 학교 갔어요, 그래서 오늘 공부해요.

    • Gregos says: March 28, 2012

      Doesn’t look like.
      “Yesterday kimchi is delicious. And today I will eat kimchi.”

      어재 => 어제
      맛있어요 => 맛있었어요 – was delicious.
      Dot after 맛있었어요.
      막을 => 먹을

      어제 김지가 맛있었어요. 그리고 오늘 김지를 먹을 거여요.

      “Yesterday school go. So today I study.”

      어재 => 어제
      학교 + 에 – Location marking particle.
      Dot after 갔어요.

      어제 학교에 갔어요. 그래서 오늘 공부해요.

  20. Laura says: May 15, 2012

    In this sentence that you guys gave in the PDF, “친구를 만났어요. 그리고 밥을 먹었어요”, can i drop off the object marking particles and it’ll still make sense?
