⭐️Korean Grammar 124: V-아다가/어다가/해다가 = V-아다/어다/해다

1. A Shrot Conversation

- 나나: 미소 씨, 수업 끝나고 뭐 할 거예요?

Miso, what are you going to do after class?

- 미소: 읽고 싶은 책이 있어서요. 

I have a book that I want to read.

도서관에서 책을 빌려다가 집에서 읽을 거예요.

I will borrow a book from the library and then read it at home.

2. Usage

- 아다가/어다가/해다가 = 아다/어다/해다 

- '아다가/어다가/해다가' attaches after a verb stem.

- ‘아다가/어다가/해다가’is a connecting ending that connects two sentences.

- It is used to indicate that you are doing something first and then doing the next action with the object of the first action.

- It is usually used when the place where the previous action and the next action took place are different.

Let's look at some examples.

- Example Sentences

✎ 도서관에서 책을 빌려다가 집에서 읽을 거예요. (빌리다 + 어다가)

1) 도서관에서 책을 빌려요. (I borrow a book from the library.)

2) 그리고 집에서 그 책을 읽을 거예요. (And I will read the book at home.)

1) 도서관에서 책을 빌려요. (I borrow a book from the library.)

- Where is it? - It's the library. (도서관).

- What do I do at the library? - Borrow a book.

- What is the object? -  It is a 'book (책)'.

And then do the next action.

2) 그리고 집에서 그 책을 읽을 거예요. (And I will read the book at home.)

- Where is it? - It's 'home (집).'

- What is the object? - It is a 'book(책)'.

- But what kind of book is it? - It's 'the book I borrowed from the library.

In this case, you can connect these two sentences by using '-어다가. 

Then you can say, 

→'도서관에서 책을 빌려다가 집에서 책을 읽을 거예요.’

(I'll borrow a book from the library and then read it at home.')

- Here, '빌려다가' is a combination of the verb '빌리다' and '어다가.'

- When 'ㅓ' comes after the vowel 'ㅣ', they become 'ㅕ'.

- And '책 (book)' repeats in this sentence?

- Then you can omit '그 책을' and talk about it.
