Questions & Answers about gongbureul geumanhago swieoyo.

Does 쉬어요 mean “let’s rest,” “please rest,” or “I rest”?

In 해요‑style, 쉬어요 can be:

• a plain statement: “I/they rest.”
• a soft suggestion: “Let’s rest.”
• a gentle directive to the listener. In this sentence after …고, it’s usually a suggestion or polite directive. For clarity:
• clear request: 쉬세요.
• clear suggestion: 쉴까요?, 쉬죠/쉽시다.
• casual: 쉬자.

What does -고 in 그만하고 do?

It’s the verbal connector -고 meaning “and (then), and,” linking two actions: stop studying and then rest. It is not the noun‑linking 하고 used like “A and B” (e.g., 사과하고 배). Here it’s 그만하다 + -고 → 그만하고.

Why is it 공부를 and not 공부하다 before 그만하고?

그만하다 takes an object: “to stop/quit something.” So you say [noun]을/를 그만하다 → 공부를 그만하다. Alternatives:

• 공부하는 것(을) 그만하고… (nominalized verb)
• Using adverb 그만 before a verb: 그만 공부하고 쉬어요 (also common).
