구

Spoken 'and...' ending a line

The joining ending 고 as people actually pronounce it, sitting at the end of a line so the sentence stays open: please bear with me a bit, and...; I'll throw in some chopped chillies, and.... It also closes the chatty 가지구, the relaxed form of 가지고 meaning 'and so' — I wanted to try it so badly, and; it was so good, and. The rounder vowel makes it sound softer and more informal than 고, which is the spelling to use in writing.

Register: casual, spoken
