Verb
[edit]가로다 • (garoda)
- (defective, dated in honorific quotative, archaic otherwise) to say
- 공자님 가라사대, "배우고 때때로 익히면 즐겁지 아니한가?"
- Gongja-nim garasadae, "baeugo ttattaero ikimyeon jeulgeopji ani-hanga?"
- "Is it not pleasant to learn and sometimes to practice?" Quoth Confucius.
Usage notes
[edit]This verb is defective and has only three possible (if quite archaic) conjugations: the non-honorific quotative 가로되 (garodoe), the honorific quotative 가라사대 (garasadae), and the past adnominal 가론 (garon). It is comparable to English quethe, a similarly defective verb meaning "to say".
