가는 김에 means something like while you're going there anyway, since you're going there, or while you're at it.

It is built from:

• 가다 = to go
• 가는 = the adnominal/present modifier form of 가다
• 김에 = on the occasion of, while doing that, taking that opportunity

So:

• 부엌에 가는 김에 = while you’re going to the kitchen anyway

This pattern is very common when one action is used as an opportunity to do another action too.

Example:

• 은행에 가는 김에 커피도 사 와.
  = While you’re going to the bank anyway, buy coffee too.

Because 가다 normally takes a destination marked with 에.

• 부엌에 가다 = to go to the kitchen

In Korean, places you go to are usually marked with 에:

• 학교에 가다 = go to school
• 집에 가다 = go home
• 부엌에 가다 = go to the kitchen

Using 을/를 with 가다 is generally not how standard Korean expresses a destination.

With 김에, Korean usually uses the adnominal form that matches the tense/aspect of the action.

For an action that is ongoing, general, or about to happen, -는 is common:

• 가는 김에 = while going / since you’re going

If you said 간 김에, that sounds more like since you went / having gone, often referring to a completed action or a situation viewed after the fact.

Compare:

• 나가는 김에 쓰레기 좀 버려 줘.
  = While you’re heading out, throw away the trash.
• 거기 간 김에 사진도 찍었어.
  = Since I went there, I also took pictures.

So here 가는 김에 fits best because the person is about to go to the kitchen.

이랑 means and / with in casual speech.

So:

• 냄비 뚜껑이랑 국자 = the pot lid and the ladle

It is a conversational connector, similar to:

• 하고
• 와/과 (more neutral/written)

Examples:

• 빵이랑 우유 = bread and milk
• 친구랑 영화 봤어 = I watched a movie with a friend

In this sentence, 이랑 is simply linking two objects.

도 means also / too / as well.

So 국자도 adds the sense of:

• the ladle too
• also the ladle

This implies that the speaker wants not only one thing, but an additional thing as well.

In context:

• 냄비 뚜껑이랑 국자도 같이 가져와
  = Bring the pot lid, and the ladle too.

Even though 이랑 already connects the two nouns, 도 adds the nuance that the ladle is also included.

Good question. They do different jobs.

• 이랑 connects nouns: A and B
• 도 adds the meaning also / too

So the phrase is not redundant. It feels like:

• the pot lid, and also the ladle

This can sound natural when the speaker is adding something to what is being requested.

A rough English-style breakdown:

• 냄비 뚜껑이랑 = the pot lid and
• 국자도 = the ladle too

같이 usually means together, along with, or sometimes as well.

In this sentence, it means something like:

• bring them along too
• bring them together
• bring them with you

So 같이 가져와 gives the feeling of bring them along when you come back, not just fetch them separately.

Here it helps reinforce the idea that, since you're already going to the kitchen, you should bring those items back with you.

Yes, 가져와 comes from 가져오다, which means to bring.

It is made from:

• 가지다 = to have/hold
• 오다 = to come

Over time, this becomes the common verb:

• 가져오다 = to bring (literally, bring and come)

Then:

• 가져와 = casual imperative / casual ending form of 가져오다

So:

• 가져와 = bring it / bring them

This is different from 갖고 와, which is also commonly used in speech and means almost the same thing.

Because the direction matters.

• 가져오다 = bring something toward the speaker / here
• 가져가다 = take something away from the speaker / there

In this sentence, the speaker is telling someone to go to the kitchen and then come back with the items. Since the items are being brought back to where the speaker is, 가져와 is correct.

Compare:

• 이리 가져와. = Bring it here.
• 저쪽으로 가져가. = Take it over there.

가져와 is casual / informal speech.

It would be natural:

• between close friends
• from a parent to a child
• from an older sibling to a younger sibling
• in other informal relationships

It is not polite speech.

A more polite version would be:

• 부엌에 가시는 김에 냄비 뚜껑이랑 국자도 같이 가져와 주세요. or more naturally:
• 부엌에 가시는 김에 냄비 뚜껑이랑 국자도 같이 가져다 주세요.

So yes, the original sentence is clearly casual.

Korean often leaves out the subject when it is obvious from context.

In this sentence, the listener is the person being told to do something, so there is no need to say you explicitly.

English requires a subject more often:

• You, while going to the kitchen, bring the pot lid and ladle too.

Korean usually just says:

• 부엌에 가는 김에 ... 가져와.

This omission is extremely common and natural.

냄비 뚜껑 is normally written as two words.

• 냄비 = pot
• 뚜껑 = lid

Together they mean:

• pot lid

Korean often writes these kinds of noun combinations with a space, even when they function like a single idea in English.

Other examples:

• 책상 다리 = table leg
• 유리 문 = glass door

So the spacing here is normal.

Not quite. The key nuance comes from 김에.

• when you go to the kitchen is more neutral
• 가는 김에 specifically suggests taking advantage of that trip to do something extra

So the feeling is:

• since you’re going there anyway
• while you’re at it
• on your way there / while making that trip

That nuance is important. Without 김에, the sentence would lose the sense of doing an extra favor as part of that errand.

Yes.

You could say:

• 냄비 뚜껑하고 국자도 같이 가져와.
• 냄비 뚜껑과 국자도 같이 가져와.

But the tone changes slightly:

• 이랑 = casual, very common in speech
• 하고 = also casual and common
• 과/와 = more formal or written

So in this casual command, 이랑 sounds very natural.

They are close, but 같이 adds a little nuance.

• 가져와 = bring it / bring them
• 같이 가져와 = bring it/them along too, bring them together

In many contexts, removing 같이 would still make sense:

• 부엌에 가는 김에 냄비 뚜껑이랑 국자도 가져와.

But 같이 makes the request sound a bit more like:

• bring those along with you while you’re at it

So it adds a natural, conversational sense rather than changing the basic meaning drastically.

Yes, very possibly.

Because 도 means also, it often implies that the speaker is adding the ladle to something already included or expected.

In this sentence, one likely reading is:

• Bring the pot lid, and the ladle too.

Depending on context, it might imply:

• maybe the person was already going to bring something else
• maybe the pot lid is the main item, and the ladle is an added request
• maybe the speaker is just emphasizing that both should be included

That kind of implication is very common with 도.

A natural polite version could be:

• 부엌에 가시는 김에 냄비 뚜껑이랑 국자도 같이 가져와 주세요.

Or even more natural in many situations:

• 부엌에 가시는 김에 냄비 뚜껑이랑 국자도 같이 가져다 주세요.

Why 가져다 주세요? Because it often sounds a bit more natural and service-like when politely asking someone to bring something to you.

The original sentence is totally fine in casual speech, but if you are speaking politely, you would usually change both the verb ending and often the modifier before 김에 as well.
