-걸랑

Korean Etymology Short for older ko -거들랑, from ko -거든 -을랑. Suffix ko colloquial regional if ko 김치 만들어고 싶-걸랑 배추-를 사야지. If you want to make kimchi, you have to buy cabbage. In the intimate style, introduces information new to the addressee. Usage notes Although given without comment in the prescriptive dictionary of the language, it is nowadays typically perceived as a nonstandard and somewhat quaint term from the traditional "Seoul dialect" that was used by people of the capital region prior to South Korean industrialization, rather than with the contemporary standard language.
