Usage notes edit

  • Transitivity: Korean verbs of movement are variably intransitive and transitive:
    • If the destination of the movement is not a space or only a small one, it is intransitive: 나무에 가다 (namu-e gada, “to go to a tree”), 내 방에 가다 (nae bang-e gada, “to go to my room”).
    • If the destination of the movement is an extended space into which one enters, it can be both transitive and intransitive with no significant change in meaning: 중국으로 가다 (junggug-euro gada, “to go to China”), 중국을 가다 (junggug-eul gada, “to go to China”). But intransitive use is rather more common, and transitive use may be understood as emphatic.
    • If the object is a path that one goes on, it is transitive: 길을 가다 (gir-eul gada, “to go on a road”), 인도를 가다 (indo-reul gada, “to go on the pavement”).
    • With the exception of "to last", which is always transitive, the various extended senses are intransitive.
  • Conjugation: This verb has two forms for the plain-style 해라체 (haerache) imperative. The blunt form is regular: 가라 (gara, “Go!”). The less blunt form is irregular: 가거라 (gageora, “Go (well)!”). Other verbs with the irregular non-blunt form include 일어나다 (ireonada, “to get up”), 자라다 (jarada, “to grow”), 자다 (jada, “to sleep”), and compound verbs ending in this verb. Historically, this reflects the perseverance of the Middle Korean suffix 거 (Yale: -ke-).

Middle Korean edit

Pronunciation edit

  • IPA(key): /kà.tá/, [kà.dá]

Verb edit

가다〮 (kàtá) (infinitive 가〮, sequential 가니〮)

  1. (intransitive) to go (especially somewhere for a certain purpose)
    Antonym: 오다〮 (wòtá, “to come”)
  2. (auxiliary, with 어〮 (-é)) Marks a continuous action that either stretches from the present into the future, or involves physical movement away from the speaker.
    Antonym: 오다〮 (wòtá, continuous action from the past or towards the speaker)

Usage notes edit

Middle Korean had two (possibly three) verbs equivalent to Modern 가다 (gada, “to go”) or English "to go": 가다〮 (kàtá), and 녀다〮 (nyètá) / 니다〮 (nìtá). The latter appears only in compound verbs and before the suffix 거 (-ke-). Some scholars believe that 녀다〮 (nyètá) and 니다〮 (nìtá) were separate verbs.

It is believed that 가다〮 (kàtá) had a stronger emphasis on the purpose of the movement, while 녀다〮 (nyètá) / 니다〮 (nìtá) had a stronger emphasis on the physical movement itself. For example, only 가다〮 (kàtá) is attested with a human indirect object (i.e. expressing "to go to a person [for something]"); the indirect objects taken by 녀다〮 (nyètá) / 니다〮 (nìtá) are all real or metaphorical spaces. However, both could be used to translate the same Chinese verb, showing that the semantic distinction was not so strict.
