Go out (imperative) in Korean 🇰🇷

나가 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of "나가" as a short, snappy command to “get out.” The sound “na-ga” reminds you of “nah, go!” when you want someone to leave.
• Associate it with the full verb 나가다 ("to go out"), and remember that “나가” is the casual imperative form.

• Its usage varies by politeness level. “나가” is casual; for polite or formal contexts, you might use “나가세요” or “나가십시오.”
