Why ?? and ?? are different from the English “come” and “go" - a podcast by G9Languages

:: ::

?? and ?? are directly translated to “to come” and “to go” in English, but while in English you can say “I’m coming” to someone who is waiting for you to get there, you can’t use the word ?? in Korean to express the same meaning. ?? and ??, and all the other related compound verbs that are introduced in this video lesson by Hyunwoo, are expressed through the perspective of the speaker, not the listener, and that creates a big difference between the usages of ??/?? and come/go.
