갖다 - to have “To have”, apart from 있다 verb, is also 갖고 있다/가지고 있다. I think 갖다 on it’s own means “to hold/to carry” *dictionaries it*. Yus, it does. How smarts I are.
That’s also why:
갖고 가다/가지고 가다 - to take (literally “to hold and go”) 갖고 오다/가지고 오다 - to bring (literally “to hold and come”)
놓고 가다 - to leave [something] behind/to go without taking [something] (literally “to put down and go”) 놓고 오다 - to come without [something] (literally “to put down and come”)
Thinking about if you’re coming or going and if you’re carrying it or put it down at home… that stuff’s confusing when you’re trying to speak naturally *dies*.
--
찾다 - to find Also means “to look for”. I know, how do you know if they’ve found it or are still looking? Just have to rely on context.
--
맞다 can also mean “to hit”, like by a bullet (you’ll understand the italics if you know this song).
--
Adding to 보다 - to see/to watch… 보이다 - to be seen Students always say to me “못 보여요” when I’m standing in front of the board. I think dedalusj mentioned it before… like Koreans try to save face so I suppose saying “[the board] can’t be seen” is more polite than “못 봐요” - “[I] can’t see”.
--
쓰다 - to write Also means “to use”, like a computer.
--
타다 - to ride (to get in/on a car or bike) Also means “to burn”.
--
입다 - to wear/put on Only for shirts, shorts, trousers, and skirts, though. Getting dressed in Korean is difficult o_o.
매다 - to tie [a tie] 신다 - to wear/put on [shoes] 쓰다 - to wear [a hat] 끼다 - to wear [glasses] 벗다 - to take it all off, baby.
That’s all I know. It gets me through the day.
--
놀다 - to enjoy play 즐기다 - to enjoy
--
끝내다 - to finish (meaning that you finished it. Eg: I finished my homework - 숙제를 끝냈어요) 끝나다 - to be finished meaning that it finished itself. Eg. Class finished - 수업이 끝났어요)
--
빌리다 - to borrow 빌려 주다 - to lend
--
이야기하다 - to talk/to chat Short form is 얘기하다.
--
All this stuff is too complex, right? Who’s even going to learn all that? I don’t know why I bother sometimes… but I just can’t let it go.
Can also be used for “to drink”.
