Lesson focus

Hyunwoo: So what is today’s grammar point?
Gyeongeun: 고 해서.
Hyunwoo: I heard that, they said that.
Gyeongeun: And it comes from 고 말했다 and 그래서.
Hyunwoo: Yes 고 말했다 is the past tense for 고 말하다 and it means
Gyeongeun: To say.
Hyunwoo: And the subject for this verb is understood and generally refers to other people 다른 사람들, right?
Gyeongeun: You are right. So you can translate it as they said or I heard in English.
Hyunwoo: And the last part 서 comes from 그래서 which means therefore or so. So this entire structure takes the meaning of they, someone or some people said this. So I am doing this or I did this.
Gyeongeun: Yes and the construction is very simple too.
Hyunwoo: How?
Gyeongeun: You add 고 해서 after the plain narrative.
Hyunwoo: Okay for example, what is to go?
Gyeongeun: 가다.
Hyunwoo: And how do you say that in the plain narrative?
Gyeongeun: 간다.
Hyunwoo: 간다. So how do you say they said that they were going so...
Gyeongeun: 간다고 해서.
Hyunwoo: Good. One more. How do you say to be good?
Gyeongeun: 좋다.
Hyunwoo: And it’s a descriptive verb. So it’s the same form in the plain narrative.
Gyeongeun: So it becomes 좋다고 해서.
Hyunwoo: I heard it’s good so…
Gyeongeun: 맞아요.
Hyunwoo: Good. So how was it used in today’s dialogue? 오늘 대화에서 어떻게 쓰였어요?
Gyeongeun: 연지가 말했어요. 한 번만 바르면 김태희처럼 된다고 해서...
Hyunwoo: They said that I would become like Kim Taehee by putting it on just once.
Gyeongeun: 정말요? 저도 이거 사고 싶어요.
Hyunwoo: 그러니까 경은 씨 귀가 얇아요.
Gyeongeun: 네, 저도 김태희처럼 되고 싶어요. 그리고 연지가 말했죠? 그리고 사은품으로 청소기를 준다고 해서...
Hyunwoo: And they said that they would give me a vacuum cleaner as a free gift.
Gyeongeun: 오, 좋은데요 진짜?
Hyunwoo: Would you fall for this?
Gyeongeun: 네.
Hyunwoo: But vacuum cleaners these days are so cheap. You don’t have to buy an expensive cosmetics you know to get a vacuum cleaner.
Gyeongeun: But I would need cosmetics anyways. So it’s okay.
Hyunwoo: Okay then can you give us some more examples?
Gyeongeun: 네. 오늘 비가 온다고 해서 우산을 가져왔어요.
Hyunwoo: I heard that it’s going to rain today, so I brought my umbrella.
Gyeongeun: 그리고 이 영화 재미없다고 해서 안 봤어요.
Hyunwoo: I heard that this movie isn’t good. So I didn’t watch it. So you get the idea how this 고 해서 works and that just about does it for today. 경은 씨, 수고하셨어요.
