Does ~고 하다 mean to say?

[wintertriangles]

자고 하다 - say let's do something, 다고 하다 - (someone) says something, 라고 하다 - (someone says) do something, 냐고 하다 - (someone) asks something

Thanks! It would be nice if Duolingo could have some grammar tips for this last group/section. Even the website doesn't have anything useful!

Thanks! Great help

Great, leaving a comment to find this later

-자고 implies a proposal, suggestion. So the translation into English (indirect speech) should be:

"The owner advised us to lie"

"Let's lie" is direct speech.
