"문을 닫아라!"
Translation:Close the door!

It's for commands. You can simply say 문을 닫아, or if you feel like being command-y, 닫아라. And if you're extra feisty, 닫으라고!
Is it spoken also or is it just for writing? I feel like I've heard this structure before.
닫아 = informal low 닫으세요 = informal high 닫아라 = formal low 닫으십시오 = formal high
닫아 and 닫아라 are the same level (informal) with the second being mostly used by older people
닫아 = informal low 닫으세요 = informal high 닫아라 = formal low 닫으십시오 = formal high
Guys if you answer a question with all caps and the wording is correct you still get it right!!!

For the life of me, i cannot pronounce this correct enough for duo to accept, among this and the other short sentence with 닫아라, i must have tried 25 times
i always have problems with ㄹ because i say it as an R or an L depending on the word (with some extra tongue pressing on the teeth), and ㄷ usually gets me too, because i pronounce ㄸ like "th" and ㅌ like a hard T, but ㄷ doesn't quite seem to be a D
I better talk to someone IRL, anyways that's my life story
True, I understand your struggle and even though I don't have pronunciation problems, I have confidence issues.
It would be great to be able to speak to someone in real life tbh

This is a pretty informal command, right? Like if you yelled it at your boss, you'd get fired in Korea?
