[...sobia...]

Nothing is wierd. You are making a mess in my brain. This is wierd!

[ThomasPrik]

isnt this "where do you go?"
why not some form of "가고있다"

[Woodsman72]

Right

[PaulHavig1]

Exactly -- I did that and got it wrong also.

[deactivated user]

In English saying "brother, where do you go?" Would rarely be used, the common implied translation is nearly always "where are you going"

[zzzb_]

the distinction between present and continuous present in korean isn't as important as it is in english. "-고 있다" is mainly used to really emphasise the fact that you're in the process of going somewhere right as you are speaking.

Same question

The prequel to O Brother Where Art Thou

[PaulHavig1]

I answered, "Big brother! Where are you going?" and got it wrong. I don't think it's wrong . . .

[suhandiwiratama]

"Brother! Where do you go?" Is wrong??

[green_tidepods]

that implies that they go somewhere regularly, like school or a routine place. and there's a specific verb for that: 다니다

[julyfabipane]

when I hear 형님 I can only think about gangsters in kdramas

[AlexisRamyeon]

Hundreds of episodes of Running Man has lead me here. I cannot fail now

[soobee620]

Why does 어디 not have an ending?

[deactivated user]

You can say 어디에 but its a basic sentence so particles can be dropped when context is easy to work out

[AmandaStok10]

Couldn't it also mean where are we going? 어디 가세요

[okdal]

Not really, 가세요 is an honorific form of the 가다 verb so it would be a bit strange to use an honorific to refer to yourself (even if you are in a group)

[SongPhilip]

Veneziano, why can't you say nice things about me?

[SeanFogart4]

I was asked to translate Lucy (elderly lady in yellow overcoat) saying this. This confuses me to no end. I see that in a dated usage women used it to refer to elder sisters, or would she perhaps be referring to some (male) guy's elder brother?
