"저는 먹고 마십니다."

Translation: I eat and drink.

Is "-고" used only for verbs? Or what

[Gray_Roze]

Yes, with action or descriptive verbs.

[Archangelz1]

Wasn't there also -서 like 집에가서 참을차요 so why is it 먹고 wouldn't it be 먹서?

[Gray_Roze]

서 is more like "and then," while 고 is just regular "and." Because this sentence doesn't imply two consecutive actions, you just use 고.

[Crestial]

Can't "I drink and eat" be accepted?

[LuffyHana]

I might be wrong, but bcuz they're putting 먹다 verb first "먹고" and
마시다 verb second "마십니다"...it should follow that order...

[MichaelaRo567259]

Hmm, that has the same meaning but what if someone actually didn't know which word means which

[Lauren17361]

Technically yes but its a matter of the word order. If you say "저는 그녀을 사랑합니다" it would be "I love her" which is different than "she loves me"

[tCxi6]

But that's not only a change in the word order. You are changing the particles that indicate the subject and object of the action

[Lauren17361]

Technically yes, but its a matter of word order. If you said "저는 그녀를 사랑합니다" it would be "I love her" not "she loves me". That would be a whole new story

[Vmk15]

Where is "and"? Is it the "고"?

[Gray_Roze]

Yep! 고 is a way to connect two verbs in one sentence.

[emmie_00_16]

Is "-서" used for vowels and "-고" used for consonant when two verbs are together and "그리고" used for jont two separate sentences?
