Since the original sentence is an imperative it requires a different ending. It requires a whole separate lesson, and more that I can adequately explain in a comment, but there's a great colloquial way to get across the same meaning. It's especially useful you've told someone to do something and they aren't doing it. "빨리 안~?" Just switch the verb in question. -빨리 안가? -빨라 안 알어나? -빨리 안 자? ( not to be confused with "빨리 앉아!" ^^ I bet that's a pun somewhere) The meaning comes across as "Aren't you going to do X?" "I told you to do it!" @roora

Can you also say 공부하고 to mean “I said to study”

and 자고! =>I said sleep!

You’re right :)

어디 is where, and 어딘가 is somewhere,
but in colloquial Korean, 어디 can also mean ’somewhere’

어디어디 can mean both ‘where and where’ and ’somewhere’
뭐뭐 can mean both ‘what and what’ and ’something’ :)

Is Korean like Chinese,you say 'where where' for 'somewhere' and 'what what' for 'something'? I've always liked that way of saying things,I do hope it's the same in Korean.

Let's go! 공부합사다! Let's study! 쉽시다! Let's rest! 생각합시다! Let's think! @Steve

If you want to be more polite, the best way is to use [the verb stem + 합시다]

갑시다! Let’s go!
공부합사다! Let’s study!
쉽시다! Let’s rest!
생각합시다! Let’s think!

Now, that is something my Korean friends will say WOW about! I definitely know where that first part comes from. It is very similar in Chinese. I had a question, I don't know if anyone is monitoring. So, -ja is useful for close friends, fine, but what if you need to say something similar but in a more polite fashion? :lol:
