I find that 라고 is often shortened to 래 and 다고 to 대 but less commonly 냐고 to 냬 and 자고 to 쟤.

[@GoBillyKorean]

Those are slightly different uses. They're not a shortening of 라고 or 다고 or 냐고 or 자고, but include 해(요). So ~다고 해(요) shortens to ~대(요). This means they're more limited in their usage.

Thanks for this great overview, I did get confused though on the 주다. Because I didn't realize there is 드리 and 달라 all the "giving" and honorifics that follow too... I'll need to find some good links from the past on these (I know you have them too). ㅅㅅ

Billy, what about the 라고/하고 quote? like in : 한국 사람들 먹기 전에 "잘 먹겠습니다" 라고 해요 = Koreans say "잘 먹겠습니다" before eating or 철수 씨는 저에게 "내일 몇 시에 와요?" 하고 물어봤어요 = Chul-soo asked me "what time will you come tomorrow? or in : A = 사랑한다고 말해 주세요 B = 뭐라고요? A = "사랑한다고 말해 주세요" 라고 했어요

[@GoBillyKorean]

The ~라고 form is just the (이)라고 form, which is the same form used in 뭐라고요. But those aren't for this sort of quoting - those are "Someone said (direct quote)."

[@SuAmazing]

@@GoBillyKorean Oohh, i din't know it was the same as (이)라고. Thank you for the explanation.

I really love learning Korean and you are a great resource! I struggle a bit with ㅌ and ㄷ. Depending on the context they can sound either like Tah or Dah interchangeably. Is there a secret to knowing which is which when someone is speaking to you?

[@GoBillyKorean]

ㅌ (strong consonant) is like having more air before ㄷ, but it's overall the same sound. If you just say ㄷ with more air, you get ㅌ. Imagine there's a "H" sound before ㄷ (kind of like breathing more), and you get ㅌ.

@GoBillyKorean thank you so much

[@paulwalther5237]

Quoting other people is a huge road block in speaking Korean for me. I wonder if any other languages make it so difficult.

[@chansherly212]

Hi billy do you have any lesson on Verb ㄹ 정도로 and verb ㄹ 사이에

[@GoBillyKorean]

Yes I have a few lessons you can find on my channel, or a trick is to type "gobillykorean" on Google followed by the grammar form to find anything on my channel :)

[@mervynwinn1852]

how about the first one but just shortened: 뭐랬어? Does this sound more natural than saying the whole thing to koreans?

[@GoBillyKorean]

That's a common short form ~(으)래(요) and I have several videos about short quoting forms. It's short for 뭐라고 했어. Short quoting forms aren't more/less natural - they're simply used when they can be used in informal speech.

'를'을 붙이면 조금 부자연스러운 느낌이 있기는 하지만 외국인 입장에서는 이해하기 편할 것 같기는 하네요.
