      라든가 and its companions mean “or” and are used to talk about two choices. In the case of (이)라든가, B is normally followed by an explanation of how exactly A and B are similar: “비빔밥이라든가 냉면이라든가 한국 음식 같은 Bibimbapiradeunga naengmyeoniradeunga hanguk eumsig gateun” (“Korean foods like bibimbap or naengmyeon”) 는다든가, ㄴ다든가 and 다든가, on the other hand, are usually followed by 하다, which can then be conjugated however you’d like.

      While (이)라든가 is normally used only after A, 는다든가/ㄴ다든가/다든가 follows both A and B.

      비빔밥이라든가 불고기 같은 대표적인 한국 음식을 먹어 보세요.

      There are three extremely common expressions that all essentially mean “so,” and they are used in a few ways. The big three are ㄴ/는데, 아/어/여서 n/neunde, a/eo/yeoseo, and (으)니까 (eu)nikka. You’ll see them used in three ways. One is in the middle of a sentence, one is at the end, and the other is roughly at the beginning tagging along with 그렇다 geureota. Let’s start by talking about each expression and when to use it.

Image

      차가 막혀서 늦었어요.

      Chaga makyeoseo neujeosseoyo.

      There was a lot of traffic, so I was late.

      This expression essentially means “so” and is extremely important. Not only is it used all the time, but it also forms the basis for many other expressions you’ll want to learn.

      HOW IT’S FORMED

      아/어/여서 is an expression all on its own; (이)라서 is a combination of the indirect speech particle (이)라 and 아서.

      HOW IT’S CONJUGATED

All tenses
Action or descriptive verbs with 오 or 아작다작아서 jagaseo
Action or descriptive verbs with 어, 우, 으 or 이먹다먹어서 meogeoseo
하다하다해서 haeseo
Nouns ending in a vowel남자남자라서 namjaraseo
Nouns ending in a consonant물이라서 muriraseo

      TAKE NOTE

      This can be used only in statements (no questions, suggestions, or commands). In other words, if your B clause is a question, suggestion or command, you should use a different expression. (으)니(까) is a good one; see page 67.

      It’s also used to replace 고 (see page 51) in expressions where 고 follows a verb that means “to come” or “to go” (오다, 가다, 들어오다, etc…) See the example below about shopping and Dongdaemun.
