가고

This is the 611th most frequent Korean word.


가고

"가고" means "going" or "leaving" in English.


In this sentence, '가고' is used as part of the phrase '가고 싶어요', which means 'want to go'. The word '가고' itself represents the present participle or 'to go' in the connective form, leading to the attached verb '싶어요'.

나는 내일 친구 집에 가고 싶어요.

I want to go to my friend's house tomorrow.


In this context, '가고' functions as 'go and,' connecting the act of going to the subsequent action indicated by '나서', meaning 'and then' or 'afterwards'.

학교에 가고 나서 바로 공부할 거예요.

After going to school, I will study immediately.


Here, '가고' is used to connect two completed actions in sequence, specifically 'going to the library' and 'borrowing a book'.

도서관에 가고 책을 빌렸어요.

I went to the library and borrowed a book.
