안녕하세요 여러분! Koreanstudyjunkie입니다. 주니라고 불러도 돼요. In this lesson, I want to introduce a useful phrase to you guys.
I remember trying to figure out how to say things like, “I forgot my phone at home” or “I left my phone on the bus“ earlier on in my Korean learning journey. I thought maybe it would be something like, “집에서 핸드폰을 잊어버렸어”.
However, the real answer is a bit different than that.
두고 가다/오다 and 놓고 가다/오다
The Breakdown:
두다 and 놓다 have pretty much the same meaning “to put, place, lay”.
-고 = a connective grammar meaning “and” or “and then”
가다 - to go , 오다 - to come (오다 vs 가다 Lesson)
For this phrase to work, you have to use these movement verbs. Other movement verbs besides these 2 could also work, but these are the most common.
Altogether, this phrase means to put something down and then go/come. Basically, to leave something behind or forget something either intentionally or by mistake. It can even be used for leaving behind PEOPLE. So it’s a really useful phrase.
Example Sentences:
그녀는 열쇠를 책상 위에 두고 왔다.
= She left the key on the desk.
서류를 책상 위에 두고 와!
= Please leave the papers on the desk!
나 깜박하고 핸드폰 놓고 왔어요.
= I forgot my phone.
지하철에 가방 놓고 내렸어요.
= I left my bag on the subway.
나의 짐은 접수처에 두고 가 주세요.
= Please leave my luggage at the reception desk.
누군가가 가방을 두고 갔다.
= Someone’s left their bag behind.
아니 이런, 지갑을 집에 두고 왔어.
= Oh no, I left my purse at home.
너 놓고 갈게.
= We’ll leave you behind.
이거 놓고 갈게.
= I'll leave this here and go.
나 뭐 놓고 가는 거 없겠지?
= Am I leaving anything behind?
저 두고 못 가요!
= You can’t leave without me!
-고 가다 vs -고 오다
TLDR: 가다 means you are going AWAY from the speaker. While 오다 means you are coming TO the speaker.
두고 가다 is "left it and go/leave" as in "I left my lunch in the classroom and left the school" which can be translated to 교실에 도시락을 두고 갔다 or 교실에 도시락을 두고 학교에서 나갔다.
Another imperative (command) example would be:
교실에 도시락을 두고 가라. = Leave your lunch in the classroom (and go).
두고 오다 is "left it and come" as in "Leave your lunch in the classroom and come to me" which is 교실에 도시락을 두고 와라.
That’s the end of this lesson!

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, elevated androgen levels, and polycystic ovaries. Treatment for PCOS focuses on managing individual symptoms and preventing long-term complications such as type 2 diabetes, infertility, and cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle modifications, including weight loss through diet and exercise, are often the first line of treatment and can significantly improve insulin resistance, hormonal balance, and ovulatory function. For women not seeking pregnancy, hormonal contraceptives (like birth control pills) are commonly used to regulate menstrual cycles and reduce androgen levels, thereby improving acne and hirsutism.
For women trying to conceive, ovulation induction medications such as clomiphene citrate or letrozole may be prescribed to stimulate egg release. In…
Corporate structures aside, it often surprises people how little an link auction office in one country link knows about what's going on at an office in another country (though every auction house is structured and operates a bit differently). Still, while Antiquorum Switzerland link might be able to pass off legal obligations when it comes to Antiquorum Hong Kong's activities, what it should do – beyond cooperating with police or government authorities – is often a more difficult question.
