Questions & Answers about syawohago naseo sugeoneul yoksireseo mallyeoyo.

What does -고 나서 mean in 샤워하고 나서?

-고 나서 means after doing X, then... It shows that one action is completed before the next action happens.

So in 샤워하고 나서, the order is:

• 샤워하고 나서 = after showering
• 수건을 욕실에서 말려요 = dry the towel in the bathroom

Compared with just -고, -고 나서 makes the sequence a little clearer and stronger.

Why is it 샤워하고 and not 샤워를 하고?

Both are possible, but 샤워하고 is very common and natural in everyday Korean.

샤워하다 is a noun + 하다 verb:

• 샤워 = shower
• 하다 = do

So these are related forms:

• 샤워하다 = to shower
• 샤워를 하다 = to do a shower / to take a shower
• 샤워하고 = shower + and/after

In casual everyday speech, Korean often drops the 를 in these noun + 하다 expressions, so 샤워하고 sounds smooth and natural.

Why isn’t there a subject like I in the sentence?

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

So even though English usually wants I in a sentence like After showering, I dry the towel in the bathroom, Korean can simply say:

• 샤워하고 나서 수건을 욕실에서 말려요.

The listener usually understands the subject from the situation. This is very normal in Korean.
