Lesson
Use -고 [go] to describe a noun with two adjectives at once.
-고 [go] means "and"
Connecting 짧다 [jjalp-da] 'short' and 쉽다 [swip-da] 'easy'
Step 1: Drop the 다 [da] and attach 고 [go] for the first adjective.
짧다 [jjalp-da] → 짧고 [jjalp-go]
Step 2: Make the last adjective with the 아/어/해요 form.
쉽다 [swip-da] → 쉬워요 [swi-wo-yo]
짧고 쉬워요. [jjalp-go swi-wo-yo]
It's short and easy.
- -고 [go] means "and"
