"I go to a restaurant and eat."

Translation: 저는 식당에 가서 먹어요.

[T._S.]

if we are using "가서", shouldn't the English be more like:

"I go to a restaurant and then eat"

??

[YunisR]

That's right, but it's unnecessary in English.

[Shlomo_]

Where is the "and" in this Korean sentence?

[wintertriangles]

Adding -서 to a verb can be translated in several ways. Here it means "and," as in, "eat" follows after the action of "go"

[jlseymour3]

Is "가고" wrong? It doesn't indicate an order to the actions, which would have to come from context, but does the fact that there is an order require "- 서?"

[YunisR]

Yes 서 shows order of events

[MichelleAP11]

If i translated it in formal way it should be right too

[Murakel]

Am I wrong to think it's weird using 저는/재가 with 해요체? It seems awkward lowering the speaker without also raising the listener.

[deactivated user]

"저는 식당에 가서 먹어" it said this was wrong btw

[Trinity531704]

Maybe because its informal and doesn't have -요1/24/19

[Kemushi_]

Is 식당으로 wrong in this context?

[Sovushka20294]

Yes, because this is not about direction but destination when action will take place

[gucci._.tears]

Man i thought this was like I go to a restaurant to eat and said 저는 먹으러 식당에 가는, (I don't know if my grammar there is right haha)

[kaiiix]

wouldnt (으)러 be better for this sentence?
